Not going to lie- very disappointing. Overheard the cook walked out to go plow this night because he makes more money doing so- you guys should definitely just pay him more as I feel the food SUFFERED. This was my husband & I’s first time here and I’ve never had a worse steak, it was almost inedible, charred to a crisp but so raw on the inside I couldn’t even cut it. I expected much better- especially after all the rude looks I got for trying to bring our 7 month daughter...read full review

Not as much fun as thirty years ago but still not bad.

We attended a family member’s retirement dinner/party Sept 23, 2023 here. The food was delicious, the wait service was fabulous and though the menu was limited for the party everything was fabulous and there were plenty of choices. Thank you Backyard Steak Pit for making this party such a success.
