Backyard Grill is a popular eatery known for serving good quality food in generous portions. The menu includes salads, burgers, and pasta dishes, along with a variety of options like gyros with pita, roasted chicken, and homus platter, which are praised for their delicious taste. Standout items such as the saganaki cheese curds, grilled cheese sandwich on garlic bread, and waffle fries remain favorites. The restaurant offers both vegan and conventional entrees, including beef, chicken, and vegan options, with quick service from a visible kitchen. Customers appreciate the authentic home-cooked dishes and the excellent customer service provided by the staff and management. The owners have created a comfortable atmosphere, complete with a patio for outdoor dining, making it a home-away-from-home for many. Popular choices include chicken dinners, whether barbecued or Greek, the Greek village salad with grilled chicken, and the whole chicken dinner that includes salad, tasty veggies, and pita, enough to feed at least two people. The burgers, especially the new smash burger, are highly recommended. Parking can be challenging, but the restaurant is accessible with ADA-compliant facilities and a ramp connecting its two levels. Overall, Backyard Grill continues to be a trusted spot for hearty meals and friendly service.
