Reviews of Backyard

Don't come here. The people aren't friendly. The backyard in the backyard isn't a great place to hang out. The cheddar jalapeno biscuit isn't buttery and savory and amazing. And Paul always gives me the shifty eyes. If this was a bar in middle earth, there'd be a place to tie up your eagle out front. The French toast casserole reminds me of the first time I saw "Purple Rain". Five stars.

This place is a cute hole in the wall with a backyard (hence the name). The atmosphere is laid back and casual. Inside you will find a small bar and about a handful of tables. This is a great place to meet a friend for brunch. I went with a large group of 12 on a late Sunday afternoon. Our party took up the complete back end of the backyard. The outdoor seating is cozy and has a relaxing ambiance. The weather was beautiful on this day so it made the experience that much better! We made a "reservation" and when we got there, our table wasn't ready. When we were finally seated, there weren't enough seats. Our kind waitress pulled tables and umbrellas together to create a comfortable place to eat. Mimosas were served 1/4 of the way full in a 16oz wine glass. As the rounds of mimosas kept rolling in, the glasses became 1/2 way full and then 3/4 full (I promise this is not the mimosas talking). Very strange! Anyway, the food was delicious. About $12-16 per dish. The phat stackz is an AMAZING cardiac attack on a plate - pancakes, bacon, eggs and cheese... YUM! Minor inconveniences but I would return.

This place has the most appropriate name ever - Backyard. It really does feel like your backyard. Just before it began to get cool, I came for dinner. We sat in the backyard, enjoying their lobster sliders paired with New England clam chowder. The cocktail I had was made with mint, which I watched the bartender pick from the backyard. The sliders were on the pricier side - $15/2 sliders - but the overall experience? Couldn't be beat.
