“ We haven't eaten inside for years but I absolutely love their flat iron steak salad. Sub cheddar extra nuts. The steak is always so tender and cooked perfectly medium rare. This is def a two meal salad. Will continue to order it. ”
“ Attention Yelpers, the fundamental reason for this app is to read people's opinion and make an educated guess, well, if you are considering coming here, I highly recommend it for the true Yelpers. Regardless of what you order, you will realize that top ingredients go into everything that comes out of that kitchen. I have not dined here for a long time due to scheduling constraints but let me tell you, nothing has changed and I'm just impressed with the quality and portion of the food. I love potato skins and I believe I had the best potato skins that I've ever had here at The Backyard. Give it a shot if you've never been there, I promise you that you would be a repeat customer. ”
“ We come here all the time. Great beer selection and the the people serving are great and friendly. Come check for yourselves. It's awesome!!! Big thumbs up! ”
“ We used to go to this restaurant back when it first opened... The patio was incredibly welcoming and was perfect for multiple families with rambunctious kids. It was a regular stop for us with our group of friends. Well, kids grow up and friends grow apart and you don't necessarily go out to eat with the same people as much as you used to, and we stopped coming. A few weeks ago I turned to my wife and said hey, we haven't been to the backyard in quite a while, we should go... It's so close and I recall the food being really good. Needless to say, we have been back four or five times since that first return a few weeks ago. And my instinct was absolutely correct. The food is amazing, the patio has its own great vibe, especially when there's music. And the staff, especially owner Jen, are unbelievably attentive and Regularly bend over backwards to make sure your experience is five star worthy, even if you aren't planning on writing a review. There is so much good on this menu, even though it is an extensive menu. So many restaurant consultants tell chefs to not provide a huge menu because you're just spending a lot of money on ingredients you may not use. But this is a smart menu, there is a lot of overlap of common ingredients that allow this kitchen to provide a lot of different variety. I mean, my goodness, in just a few visits we've had the steamers, sliders, the grub dog, the Ruben, the club sandwich, the seafood pasta, the grilled chicken breast and at least one salad. Everything is delicious and plentiful, a real dining delight. But here's the thing that sticks out at me the most... The thing that you hope for from an honest restaurant owner. The last several times that we were there, Jen was our server. My mother-in-law, who, like me, loves a good bowl of soup, asked how the tortilla soup was. Normally, Jen said, the tortilla soup is delicious... But this batch isn't very good. We are still trying to perfect a new recipe and the soup isn't very good, I would not recommend it. That is refreshing honesty From someone who understands her customers. It's fine to recommend something, it's even smarter to recommend against something. We will continue to go to the backyard, since it's in our backyard and look forward to eventually having tried everything on the menu. Honestly, I haven't found something on the menu that I wouldn't order again. Thanks Jen and your team, for giving us a place that we feel comfortable and well fed. ”
“ Service was great. I had the eggs Benedict which was pretty decent. I needed to add a little acid but then it was great. I was just so happy it wasn't canned/packet hollandaise which is a crime against humanity. The breakfast potatoes were nicely seasoned. We sat on the patio which was good. 80s music playing at a respectable level non distracting level. I will definitely go back. ”
“ I haven't been to this restaurant in so long and my friends and I decided to go since it was #scvrestaurantweek. I forgot how awesome their salmon is, cooked perfectly in a generous amount. And their vegetables were crisp and tasty. My friend had the Montecristo, and he said it was the best one he has ever had, and Brent's deli was his favorite before this. Another friend also had the salmon, but she with the restaurant menu have the homemade donuts for dessert, and just raved at how good they were. The waitress was adorable, and was spot on with service and communication. I say adorable because she had so much energy and I can't even imagine how tired she must be unless she just got on the shift. We came early, so it wasn't real crowded but by the time we left, she was jumping around from table the table and it appeared. She was the only waitress. She did great. I will definitely return, and try those donuts next time, too! ”
“ We don't come often but we have never been disappointed with the quality of the food and the kind and efficient servers! Delicious and healthy meal options in a fun and family-friendly environment. ”
