Backyard Desert Ridge

Can only get Pepsi from the bar but if you’re lucky ask the blonde man bun bouncer you can get your Coke. If you’re looking for a place that the bathrooms are like a nightclub at 5pm great spot. Otherwise it should probably need a scrub from the inside out. Total cesspool.

Huge TVs. Good spot to catch the game.

The moment you walk into the door, it's clear the Backyard is suffering an identity crisis. From decor that's confused whether it's a park, backyard, or 60s music festival, to themed 90s and 00s nights where the DJ plays music from the 70s and 80s, the Backyard is okay for a one-time visit. Despite the amazing TVs, don't expect to watch your sports in peace - the music never stops. You'll never hear the game while you eat average food and drink basic cocktails. Better to spend the evening in your own backyard.

Stopped here on the way to a concert nearby at the MIM. It was Saturday night with college football and the place was packed and LOUD. I would prefer the volume of the TVs to be way lower, but that's just me. Considering the place was packed, service was spot on. We got our drinks pretty quick, and our food was good as well. Fries a bit on the lukewarm side, but edible. I had a burger (delicious) and my girlfriend had the tuna melt. Everything was good, and our server was great. Overall, other than how loud it was, great place for a quick bite.

This is such a fun spot!

We stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. It was pretty empty when we got there, but filled up by the time we left…leaving the parking lot was an absolute nightmare.

Service: great, very friendly and we were checked in on multiple times and dirty plates and cups were regularly removed.

Venue: It is a very open space with a lot of variety in seating options. Large tvs visible from every seat, plenty of group seating or bar seating available. There was music playing during lunch, but it was not so loud that we couldn’t carry a conversation. It is dog friendly which is a huge perk, they even have dog treats at the hostess stand.

Food: food was good, carne asada tacos were our favorite of what we ordered. We also got garlic parm wings and shrimp tacos. The garlic parm wings were a bit lacking in flavor.

Pricing: reasonable, and they honor a military discount

Overall, we will definitely return. This seems like a great spot to go with groups to watch sports and get some food and beer towers or bottomless mimosas.
