Stopped by after visiting the North Carolina Museum of Art. Backyard Bistro is so convenient to that area, easy on and easy off the highway. We had a big table, great view of the sports on TV and the menu at BB is really unique compared to typical bar and grill food. The food was prompt, the waitress Megan was accommodating to our larger party. I never had to ask for a refill on my beverage. Highly recommended.
Awesome venue! Atmosphere spectacular, service excellent. Food quality top notch, and the beer was excellent too! I would highly recommend!
Great place to have a bite before the hockey game. Food is reasonably priced and the taste was decent enough to return. Not spectacular, but definitely better than the competition. One note that bothered me is that they charge paying customers the same rate to park for events as non-patrons. To me, I should not have to pay the entire parking fee if I am patronizing the establishment. However, the parking rate is significantly better than at PNC, plus you can come in and have a few beers before puck drop. So, if you’re looking for a place to relax before a game, check this place out. Get there early so you don’t wait, enjoy friendly and fast service, and decent enough food.
Fantastic spot for pregaming Canes or just coming to watch any sports game on TV. Plenty of TVs to watch anything you need. Brisket was everything our server promised it would be. DON'T get the fish tacos (over fried and SALTYYYY). But everything else was good. Big thanks to Sadie(?) For helping pick a great beer and helping us kill time while we waited for a table.
Always a fun place to go before going to a Carolina hurricanes game. When there is no game in town, it’s still a great place because their food is amazing from their nachos to their brisket and their wings and their great beer selection you won’t be disappointed! It’s a must place to stop by, for any occasion! The service is awesome especially if you’re being taken care of by Jessie or Sadie behind the bar!
First time here. Overall, the food was good. The fried Haddock was kind of cold. The steak was ok ,but too much fat. That's why 4 stars.
An absolute gem! I can't believe we have never eaten here. One of the best flavored burgers I have had. ( Not Bobby Flay good but real good ). My son said his smash burger was the best he has ever eaten. Also, the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. Meagan, our server was awesome. We are looking forward to returning soon.
The Canes Corner event was fun. Thanks to them for hosting.
Very nice, spacious and sports atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, we ordered Nachos, wow amazing delicious pulled pork and brisket nachos. Stephanie was super nice and helpful with the menu.
Great hidden gem for sure!
We went to Backyard Bistro tonight for dinner since we are staying at the campgrounds nearby. From the moment we sat down, the entire wait staff was so attentive and kind. Our waiter Sean was top notch, but we were impressed that he wasn't the only one. Two waitresses stopped by and talked to us a couple of times. When we left, my husband said, "Bye friends." We were very pleased with our food... but the people made our night!
Very clean and spacious restaurant. Large selection of drinks and beers. Drink order taken within minutes of being seated. Large menu from sandwiches to full meals. Had the haddock plate with fries and hush puppies. Portions of all 3 were large. Fries were cold when food arrived. Had fresh hot fries with in minutes. Very fast service. Fish was lightly breaded and crisp, very good taste. Fries and hush puppies were also hot and tasty. Waitress was very attentive, but over attentive. Will return when in the area.
First time in Backyard Bistro. It was delicious. We had shrimp and grits, buffalo chicken sandwich, vegan burger. Could have had more shrimp. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than MeMe to assist us with our orders. She made it fun.
We were in town for the Clemson NC State football game. Obviously we were on the opposing side but the waitress was super cool and took terrific care of us while giving us a little jab here and there about our team. That's what you love to have when you take a road trip. Food was terrific. TVs everywhere.
