We celebrated my son in law’s 40th birthday this weekend. We made lunch reservations since we are a large group with kids. When we arrived, our reserved tables were clearly marked and ready for us. The server assigned to us said she was new but she did a great job at handling so many of us on separate checks. She was friendly, attentive and sweet. My apologies for not remembering her name.
We ordered a lot of food! I didn’t get to take photos with so many of us but my son loved the pulled pork sandwich. The fries were also great and crispy. We got several pizzas and they were all cooked well and delicious (and I’m picky with pizza). We also got beer and cocktails. The beer was cold. The cocktails were great but contained a lot of ice, which melted quickly in the sun. They have several beer/drink flights and I loved that. We tried all of them. Our bill was a bit higher than we expected. They also add an automatic 20% gratuity for large groups but they did tell us about it when we arrived.
The playground was a nice addition for the little ones. It is in a contained space so you don’t have to worry as much about little wanderers. There were a lot of children playing. They also have a lot of fans in the outside area. The day heated up quickly so these were really appreciated. The signs outside are funny! Inside there is a cute bench/photo wall for family pics or selfies.
This place is also dog friendly. In fairness, I don’t visit a lot of dog friendly places (I love dogs, just not with my food). In my opinion, this is where things fell short. You could smell the faint odor of dog poop everywhere. We changed tables twice to try to distance ourselves from the smell. Some areas were worse than others but you could still smell it everywhere. Oddly, there were no dogs there when we arrived at 1 pm. It made us feel uneasy about allowing the babies on the playground turf. I am unsure if this is common of dog friendly establishments but it really impacted our experience. Our intention was to spend a few hours celebrating but we couldn’t take it. We ate, sang Happy Birthday and left. We could still smell it on us after we left so we had to go shower before going elsewhere.
Sadly, I would not return to dine in or hang out here but I would still order a pizza to go!

My son really like the outdoor play area. The queso was okay, the pizza was okay. Service was decent. I consider this more bar than restaurant so expect higher pricing.

For a kids birthday party this is the place. My nieces had a playground at her disposal for several hours. Which definitely tires them out. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We were outdoors it was a nice day, but I wish there were more fans around to provide a little more air flow. The bench area and playground area were clean, and well spaced for multiple parties.
The staff were friendly even with so much chaos. It did take a little to get things out but I was very busy. Our waiter Jeremy I believe was very attentive, kind, and had great customer service. (Unfortunately I’m better with face than I am names). Overall a great experience. All the staff we encountered was hands on, and made everything go so smoothly. The food was amazing! I have the strip burger and worth every bite. The fries were cooked with a tasteful crunch. The hot girl summer combo is a must with the pineapple beer you can’t get anywhere else. You’ve got to try it!

I had an amazing experience! The drinks were fantastic, and the bartenders were friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding—especially the chicken tenders paired with some of the best fresh ranch I’ve ever had. The pizza was also delicious. Overall, I highly recommend this place, though it can get a bit crowded at times. Definitely worth a visit!

It ended up being a great space to hold a conference and speaking engagement. I was a keynote speaker for Cafe86SA and the venue was spacious in its outdoor area. The staff were very accommodating and friendly.

Backyard on Broadway is an absolute gem! This place perfectly blends great food, a warm atmosphere, and family-friendly vibes. The menu was packed with flavorful options, and everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.
The staff truly went above and beyond. From the moment we walked in, they were friendly, attentive, and eager to make our experience enjoyable. They even helped accommodate our picky eater with a smile—such a rare find these days!
But the real star of the show? The amazing playground and patio setup. As parents, it’s a dream to have a spot where the kids can safely play while we relax and enjoy a meal. The playground is well-designed, clean, and engaging, keeping our little one entertained for hours. Meanwhile, the spacious patio offered a relaxed, chic vibe perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long week.
Whether you’re out for family dinner or just a casual hangout, Backyard on Broadway strikes the perfect balance. We’ll definitely be back—this place is a true treasure!

We saw the sign that stated wait to be seated but after 20 minutes of their staff ignoring us we decided to follow the crowd and just go outside to seat ourselves. When we asked an employee how do we order he said, “well, you need to check in.” Another employee said, “since everyone is walking in you all need to go back to the front and wait.” We went to the front and waited to just be ignored again. Its disappointing that they do t have a system set up that recognizes customers when the walk in which resulted in a bunch of grumpy employees. Went to the Cove down the street, which was a much better vibe.

Tried the wings, no flavor. Wings were just cooked then some bottled sauce thrown on it, queso chips, melted Velveeta which was warm not hot. Salsa for chips, had no pica at all, neither did the wings. Disappointing, but will try again and do the pizza which they are known for. I’ll give it another try because the restaurant is very family friendly.

I went with my little ones and husband Saturday for an early dinner. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now bc I love the idea of the playground. My 3 year old had a blast playing while we sat outside and ate. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Which was amazing! My husband had a burger which he said wasn’t that great. Service was decent. Our waitress was training and while they were both super friendly. I felt like they could have been a little more attentive when it came to needing refills. We wanted to order a couple beers but after we got our food they didn’t come back u til it was time for the check. We will definitely be returning and giving them another try though

Food was sub par for the price and my kids chicken tenders were pretty burnt. My kids would not eat them. However the atmosphere for the kids is great as it features a large outdoor with kids playground. If stopping for a drink I do recommend. Service was a bit slow for the amount of people that were there. Worth another go
