HOA approved! Good food, great service, fun atmosphere at reasonable prices. The Backyard is so good that not even an HOA could complain. You can't beat the prices and the service! We got an appetizer, a beer, a soda, 2 entrees and 1 side, it came to $45 before tip. The service was top notch, so attentive and all the food came out in great time. The food was good. The burger was a little salty, the pulled pork was a little dry but the sauce help with that, and the deviled eggs where wonderful. The atmosphere was fantastic! We could watch the game but also just talk with the people you are with. The music selection was great and never to loud. We'll definitely be back to get a couple drinks, food, and chill.

My wife and I heard about the in house Bourbon and decided to try them out today and it wasn't a disappointment! The food was good especially the smoked wings and best of all the owner Jason let us try some of the Bourbon that is going to be soon released and it was definitely some good juice! We'll definitely be back.

I had an amazing dining experience at "The Backyard Nola." The burger I ordered was ridiculously good, with perfectly cooked bacon and meat. My wife opted for the Greek salad and absolutely loved it. What added to the charm of this place was the delightful outdoor seating beneath beautiful oak trees. If you're searching for a top-notch New Orleans restaurant with delicious burgers, fresh salads, and a serene outdoor atmosphere, look no further. "The Backyard Nola" has it all.

Come spend your money here 🎶 but listen! The Backyard has great BBQ sandwiches and an awesome happy hour. My boyfriend and I both had the Briskey Philly (special right now) and it had excellent flavor filled us up. I ended up taking half my sandwich home and I cannot wait to eat it as a snack later. The sweet potato fries were crispy and cooked perfectly (not burnt, very difficult to execute) and the tater tots had a very satisfying crunch. We had the pleasure of meeting Jason who is very knowledgeable when it comes to bourbon. I am not a bourbon aficionado but my boyfriend and I are definitely avid bourbon drinkers and we enjoyed speaking with him about what was available on the shelf right now and the must sees on the bourbon trail. If you live bourbon or are just trying to get into it- start here, it's a friendly environment and they will guide you in the right direction. We had the opportunity to try a 9 year that will be released next Saturday and it was like drinking desert- if you like a caramel/molasses finish than this is the one for you! We also tried Leo (7 year) and found it to be very light and easy to drink. I tried Noah's Hill 2023 and it was sweet (honey like) but initially very earthy; it reminded me of moss and was reminiscent of standing in the Redwood forests. It was a top notch lunch trip and we cannot wait to go back next Friday to pick up a bottle of that desert-like 9 year. Jason- thanks for an awesome experience. We will be in next week!

I had not been to The Backyard in about a year. I read about the changes and knew I had to go back. Jared waited on us as we dined at the bar. The frozen old fashion bourbon is a must try. The deviled eggs were fresh and seasoned perfectly. Let’s talk ribs-they were melt in your mouth tender and the sweet fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The atmosphere is wonderful . This will be our new Friday hang out for food and drinks. It had been awhile since we don’t live close, but it was like greeting an old friend with the food and service. Keep up the good work guys.

The food was good and not overly sweet like most places locally. The liquor selection was amazing and at a great price. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Since the remodel this place is amazing. The food has always been good but the atmosphere matches the quality they are putting out. My husband and I tried the new whiskey and wow! My husband collects whiskey and their selection impressed his picky taste. They had a slight dip in quality during Covid but now it seems they’re thriving again!

Awesome restaurant with QUALITY food. Superb burger ( see pic). I love the new bourbon! It was awesome sitting out in the cooler weather with all the families and locals enjoying the October weather Friday night. Owner is hands on and service was personable, friendly and super attentive and kind. Reasonably priced.
