During a recent visit to Highland Park, I stumbled upon an absolute gem of a restaurant: Backyard Grill. Hungry for some healthy food, I was exploring the area when a local highly recommended this spot. Deciding to give it a try, I walked in and was warmly greeted by a gentleman named Jake, who was very cool and welcoming.
I mentioned to Jake that it was my first time at the restaurant and what I was looking for, and he promptly suggested the oven-roasted chicken plate. Knowing I was in a hurry, he ensured my meal was served quickly. To my delight, the chicken was absolutely amazing—cooked to perfection with a tenderness and flavor that was simply exceptional. The quality of the meat was top-notch, a true testament to the care and expertise in the kitchen.
The accompanying vegetables were of premium quality, enhancing the overall experience with their freshness and flavor. Additionally, the plate included a side of rice with potatoes, which was equally delicious, perfectly seasoned, and satisfying. Intrigued by Jake’s mention of their in-house made gyro meat, I decided to try a side of it as well. Let me tell you, it was the most amazing gyro meat I’ve ever tasted. The richness and depth of flavor were unparalleled, making it an unforgettable addition to my meal.
The establishment itself was very clean, well-staffed, and the service exceeded my expectations. The overall dining experience was wonderful, reflecting a five-star quality despite the casual setting. If you find yourself in Highland Park and are looking for great, healthy food, Backyard Grill is definitely the place to go. The quality of the food and the overall wonderful experience make it a standout choice.

Highland Park’s BACKYARD GRILL is a delicious counter order eatery. The servings are large and the quantity is deliciously excellent.
The cashier knows the menu and is familiar with the Ingredients. The short order, visible kitchen creates the meal quickly. Both vegan and conventional entrees are offered. Beef, chicken, and vegan options are available. The three in our party ordered gyros with pita, roasted chicken, and homus platter. They were delicious.
.
STUFF: Parking is difficult. I ended up using the city lot, a block away. This eatery has two levels connected with a ramp. Everything is ADA compliant.

We’ve been coming to Backyard Grill since it opened. They have great food with generous portions and a wonderful menu variety. Quick shout out to Jake, as well. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to anything BYG and honestly is just a wonderful & welcoming person.

We come regularly to highland park to visit family but only recently discovered this place. A huge hit with my big hard to please family. Everyone found something they loved. I personally went for the kale Caesar – first as a wrap with salmon and then as a salad with shrimp when we went back the very next day . Good to know there is a quick, yummy solution when we need to feed our crowd.

Management needs to get a grip of themselves. I’ve now had TWO bad experiences with their snappy and sour-faced manager. The Latino employees are nothing short of absolutely amazing—we need more of them 🙂

We have been the staunchest BYG fans since forever and really like how they handled the pandemic. They have always struck a nice medium: good, non-fancy food for a reasonable price. We usually order about once a month either with the salads or the grinders which I personally love. Our last order felt different, the grinder had way more bread and less of the “fillings” and my wife’s Caeser salad was a lot smaller than usual and the price was the same. I’m not sure if they are doing some cost cutting measures or if the kitchen line changed but it feels like the proposition has changed. I will say it’s easy to order and super easy to pick up. If you are just getting a quick burger or dog, it’s probably no change, but if you are ordering a $20 salad or plate you might want to temper your expectations

We go to Backyard Grill often because they have menu options for everyone in the family, from burgers, hot dogs, to salads, pasta, and my favorite – the chicken souvlaki platter. The price is excellent for the amount of food you get, and the quality is always consistent. Friendly staff and clean restaurant if you want to dine in.

Found this place as we were at hospital near by – good location and clean place with friendly staff. Felt the food was a bit pricey for what we got but it is freshly made. We did have a minor issue that manager acknowledged for correction in future. We will try again if in the area.

I’ve been here a few times over the years. Recently returned back a few days ago for some lunch.
Looks like they recently renovated a little bit – overall the atmosphere is very pleasant and definitely an enjoyable place go grab a bite.
Ordered the garlic parmesan wings. A dozen of them. They were drenched in the garlic parmesan sauce, which was tasty. The only issue is that a lot of the chicken was a bit bigger than what I would consider a “wing”. But nonetheless, it was tasty, and if I weren’t starving prior to lunch, I would’ve been happy with leftovers.
Will be back.
