This spot has always been a wish-wash location for me.
The music on Friday, April 18th, 2025, was on point! However, the service was short of inviting or decent (lot of macho male vibes from the two guys that I got a drink from…. and I’m talking about Sprite and asking for 3 refills. Even while tipping each time, one of the guys seemed to be annoyed with me asking for refills.
Anyhow, the venue itself is nostalgic to me, and I love the semi-open roof setting with the overhead awning.
The stage, lighting, speakers, and DJ were all badass…. this place just needs more friendly and engaging bartenders…. the two dudes who were serving drinks would be better being garbage men with their attitude and dog shit “bartending” abilities.
Whoever owns this joint now, I feel you have incredible potential (especially with this location and tourism), but you have some major in-house cleaning to do. Customer service is key within your industry.
I have no comment on the food as I did not eat.

There is a phase in life when you’re too old to be out at 2 a.m. on most nights of the week, but too young to be in bed at 9. America’s Backyard had a soft reopening to transition itself from a bar to an outdoor/indoor restaurant with live music several nights a week. On a Saturday night at 8:30, the band was happily playing covers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s–giving everyone something to rock out on and taking requests long before the end. The food is mostly pizza, but it’s good pizza served up personal sized with over 24 varieties (we had the margherita pizza). I was not impressed by the craft beer variety, which could use sprucing up in a South Florida jam-packed with great microbrews (my server suggested Narragansett for lagers and said they had not one sour on tap, bottle, or can). Cocktails are served in plastic cups in this new Covid world and we were seated with a reservation (yes, you need one) on stage right next to the band. My Backyard Lemonade was strong, sour, and a perfect pairing with cheesy pizza. We had a great time and will be back. The Himmarshee District needs a place that’s open to families of all types (we brought our ). Indoor and outdoor seating available. All staff wore masks. Plenty of hand sanitizer throughout Backyard. 50% capacity. Management, service, and cleanliness were on point.

Lovely spot, cute decor, and the drinks are delicious The staff is really friendly ad welcoming too. The food was good. I attended the mimosafest with my girlfriends and we enjoyed it very much. Great for pics too. Location is great, several other stablishments within walking distance. You have to pay for parking by meter/hourly cost. Venue has cool art and photo backdrop… it’s outdoors so it’s hot but fans and tent all around. Nice big stage too with great music and DJ also.

Gives day party vibes but for the younger crowd. Dj was good, brunch all you can eat buffet style food selection was nice.

Took my sis and her bf here for lunch during a recent visit from NYC. it’s definitely a vibe. there’s plenty of seating although inside tables are small. the buffet brunch is fun and the offerings are satisfying. I’ve had better shrimp n grits, as they were undersalted and runny. I personally found the callilou to be oversalted. eating them together with the shrimp n grits balanced it out but you shouldn’t have to do that. there’s so much food that even if you skip an item not executed perfectly because they go through so much so fast, you still have plenty to choose from. like made to order waffles and omelets. the cheese board was good and the salad fresh. Fried chicken was decent. I would do this again but if you sit outside the music is so loud talking is a challenge. with bottomless mimosas as an option, you’ll be too busy eating and drinking to talk. i found the service to be above average and everyone was friendly and accommodating. do note, when you make your Reservations, they ask you how many bottles you want. That is a tell and you should already know. Do go for a solidly boozy brunch and a good time overall. A Plus Recommends

I liked it the first time I went, but this last time, they stopped me at the door about my slides and told me to go home and change them.. like this suppose to be a backyard vibe, and my slides weren’t flip flops or foot slides ( what I like to call them . If you know, you know, ) anywho went home to change them and still had an issue with the slides I wore the first time I came and had no problem getting in… so I had to wait until the promoter came to the front and cleared my slides like really??? I didn’t enjoy this visit cause I was watching other people’s shoe attire and was like really the whole time…. haven’t been back

The atmosphere and the vibe here go unmatched. The friendly staff starts with the door staff and ends with the bartenders. Everyone there wants to make sure you have a good time.
You like dancing? They’ve got you covered with a DJ and a place to dance. Parry games? Yup that too with Jenga, beer pong, and corn hole. Want to just relax and enjoy the night and the vibe around you? DONE! Sit around the palm tree or any of the other tables.
My favorite part was hanging out at the bar with the bartenders! I was there celebrating my 40th birthday. There was 8 of us and the bartenders were amazing. Not only did they kill it with the drinks shots but they were so friendly.
Special shout-out to Sam and Dillan for making our drinks and making my night amazing. These two made me feel like I was literally at a backyard party and my friends were taking care of me getting my drinks. They had amazing attitudes and were so personable.
Thank you Backyard for an amazing night and to those reading this if you are thinking of going here…. Just go and have yourself a good night!!

Disappointed about this place. It has a great location, but the food had no taste, it was bad and overpriced for such a horrible quality food. The menu is poor, they only have a few plates. The “extra large chicken wings” were 2.5inch tiny wings and the burger meat tasted like old defrosted meat without any flavor. The mimosas during brunch were not from orange juice, they were made with the soda gun at the bar.

I must say, I was quite impressed with many aspects of the venue. First and foremost, the atmosphere was incredible. The outdoor setting created a beautiful and relaxing ambiance, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a night out with friends. Additionally, the ratio of the venue was great, which ensured that everyone had enough space to move around comfortably.
The young and entertaining crowd at Backyard also added to the overall experience. It was great to see such a diverse group of people coming together to have a good time. Furthermore, I found the bartenders to be friendly and accommodating, which made ordering drinks a breeze.
However, I must note that there were some issues with the security guards at the venue. While I understand the need for security measures, I was disappointed to experience aggression and unprofessionalism solely because I had merely sprayed a bottle of water on the crowd. Being carried out in a headlock and not being treated like a human is unacceptable, and it’s important for the venue to address these incidents and ensure that all staff is properly trained in dealing with difficult situations.
Despite the security issue, I would still recommend Backyard for anyone looking for a great outdoor venue with a lively atmosphere and friendly bartenders.
