We had the pleasure of trying their food in Downtown Vallejo. They were one of the vendors at the Battle in the Bay Car Show by Chelu Family CC. The lady who took my order was super nice but I do have to warn you the prices are a little steep. $8 for 1 bbq skewer? I didn't try this but I did try: 1. Mexipino lumpia (birria lumpia?) - This was delicious and less messier to eat than a taco. It had the same great flavors. $15 for 4 pieces cut in half was steep but it did hit the spot at the event. 2. Cali drip - I was excited to try this. I'm a big fan of calamansi. Sadly, this disappointed me. It was all sugar and less tart. It reminded me of the sugary kool-aid my aunties and uncle's used to make. It's like when you buy an alcoholic beverage and it has no alcohol. I'd love to give this place another try and maybe try the bbq sticks. read more

Traballos backyard bbq is amazing. I opted to get breakfast and a Longsilog was what I needed. The fact that they included tomatoes and onions was clutch! The owner, Doc is a cool ass dude and he rocks it out with this food! Will for sure be going back soon! read more

Method - order via phone for pick up. Food's a little pricey but flavor is impeccable. I ordered from the night time food truck that serves Mexican/Filipino fusion type of bbq sandwich. Their lumpia/taquito dish with dip is so good. I wish the portion and pricing ratio is to be re evaluated though because it's a food truck and you pretty much save on crew since there's no tables to wait and clean up. I'd be happy to order again from here next time they cross my mind while hungry at the same time. read more

The food here is LEGIT and please do yourself a favor an make sure you get an order of lumpia with your order. They are so addictive. The first time I pulled up I had got an order of 10 and before getting back to my car I had to get another double order for later.... SERIOUSLY ADDICTING... I've had the pulled pork which was really juicy with a clean smoke flavor and the pancit, I forget the meat that was in it but it was really good too. The bonus... it's family run and they are genuinely good people that treated me like fam since my first pull up and that's how they are with everyone I talk to in line. Must try! (I ate the bbq too fast but lumpia photos attached) read more

Definitely good vibes good food and good family members. I'm usually there once a week or every other week and usually get the brisket links mac & cheese and others as well but the good thing about this place they have many varieties not just barbecue lumpia's, Mexipinos rib, tip adobo and many more and a great atmosphere. The whole family is amazing as well and very kind and polite. Make sure you go check them out. E mallari read more

I finally tried the food for the first time a couple weeks ago and I regret not ordering from them sooner. I tried almost everything from the garlic overload to the smoked ribs. Warning -- the lumpias are super addicting! The tri tip nachos is one of my favorites. Still have to go back and order the brisket. Take note: This is a hole in the wall spot and preordering your food is highly recommended. You can easily contact them through Instagram @backyardbbq707 (this is how I preorder my food). Friendly, service, and response time is A+++ I have no complaints. They just gained another loyal customer! read more

Large portions, meat tender, everything ive had so far has been amazing and I've been here about 6 times! Only thing i can really say is they run out a lot, for an example: you'd think by now they would know how much mac n cheese to make so they don't run out so early. The bread they serve can improve to more along the lines of the Hawaiian style bread instead of the Andrea's bought bread. Not feeling the BBQ sauce that comes on the side, its too watery. Other then that, its amazing food, amazing atmosphere! All love 4 stars from me. read more

Ordered last minute for our Christmas eve party (20 people). The guy I talked to was very friendly and acommodating. Reasonable price for high quality bbq The bbq was delicious and tender. Would definitely order again in the future. (I love that they are generous enough to give us a freebie with our order). Thank you for making our Christmas eve party special read more

The definition of cooked with love. A family business that you feel compelled to support consistently because the food is that damn good!! From the ribs, grilled chicken, tri tip nachos, lumpia, Mac & cheese, potato salad--everything is home made, and the bbq is smoked low & slow. You can't go wrong with anything that you order from their menu because it is all so delicious. I can't wait to see this family succeed even more with a future restaurant--trust & believe I will be there! read more

This is that shit that going to change the world in my cmoney from new jack city voice. I came here because I been craving garlic shrimp and I kept seeing pictures on ig. So glad I made the trip family owned super nice people. Location was sketch at first but my boy explained what it was and I dm'd the business who explains to follow the sign on the street to the back.

So glad my brutha Rodell introduced me to Pitmaster Chef Doc and his fam. I love all the scratch made food, like the Ribs, Yadidabeans and Mama's Potato Salad, but his Brisket is my absolute favorite and I've had my fair share of many different kinds throughout my career. I love the Filipino touch and how he has his whole fam involved in his operation. I wish nothing but positive energy for a good local "Mom n Pop" spot that operates like this. Get yo' issue and thank me later. Keep grindin' y'all. Salute! read more

The true definition of hole in the wall spot. Immediately you realize this is like home and welcomed like family.
