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!
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!
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!
