I called to order for a graduations party. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious! We ordered brisket, pulled pork and pulled chicken. The brisket was exceptional. I highly recommend Backyard BBQ!

UNBELIEVABLELY FANTASTIC SMOKED FOOD. Just wow!! we got the 78 dollar meal with 3 sides and also a pound of brisket and boy am I glad I did! such good flavor! I'm a food smoker myself and omg this is top top notch smoked food. And for an amazing price! if anyone know BTs smokehouse it taste just like it for much cheaper! a nice little hidden gem in Ellington. BBQs were so tasty. loved them both (hot and sweet). beans were out of this world. Mac and cheese wasn't my favorite because the pasta wasn't firm and very squishy but it's ok. could have been a bad batch. but recommend a bigger pasta with house smoked gouda and gruyere cheese 🤤🤤🤤. I'd be buying that by the tray lol. But thank you all for and enjoyable and tasty experience that my family can't wait to come back for!! One last thing is I am a baby back rib person but the Louis style competition ribs were good. and I've never said that before. but an option for baby backs would be amazing!

I was teetering on that 4th star, but overall I'll give it to them. The food was par, not great, not bad.
The ribs were smokey, but lacking other seasoning, while the brisket was nicely seasoned but somehow less smokey than the ribs, which was weird.

Mac and cheese and beans were okay, I recognize doctored up canned beans when I eat them, but they were done well. The mac was of moderate quality, and needed some salt.

overall, based solely on the food this trip, I'd say 3.9, but the service was great AND they have my favorite soda. so, 4 stars it is.
