Blake's Backyard Reviews
I held an engagement party for my daughter and her fiancé last weekend. I highly recommend Blake’s Backyard! The food and drinks were excellent. We had fantastic service and the whole vibe was fantastic. I looked at other venues, but they really knocked it out of the park for us on every level. It was cozy, fun and exactly what we wanted to celebrate!
We came down from Canada for the hat burning event . Great spot for the event . Had dinner before and was very surprised the management only had one server . She was amazing and her co worker who was off from her shift jumped in to give a helping hand. .They rocked it and yes hats off to all of them including the kitchen staff who came out and helped . Great job ladies 🌻👒
This is the page for Blake’s Backyard nursery as well, which this review is for. The nursery sells mature landscape evergreen trees (9ft. and taller) at an affordable price, especially if you can transport and transplant yourself. Ray Blake is one of the family members that is involved in running the nursery. He is very nice and knowledgeable, however, has been non-responsive to follow up calls/emails regarding care advice needed after purchase. I know he and everyone there...read full review

Blake's Backyard is a lively place that offers a variety of experiences, including plant shopping, wine and vegetable buying, and unique gift options. The coffee and desserts, especially the Peanut Butter Mousse Brownie, are highly praised. The staff is known for being friendly and helpful. Visitors enjoy their time at events like Tales & Cocktails, where they can make drinks such as the Apple Pom Julep, and try dishes like the Farm Crisps aka Pork Rinds, which are fresh and well-seasoned, with jalapeño ranch adding a special touch. The backyard chicken sandwich and the stacked apple smash burger are also popular, with the latter surprising many with its delicious flavor. The restaurant’s atmosphere is fun and beautiful, making it a great place to eat and have cocktails. During busy events, the staff, including the kitchen team, work hard to provide good service. The heated igloo for New Year’s Eve offers a cozy setting, and the food and drinks there receive high praise. Overall, Blake's Backyard has a lot of potential, though it could improve food service times to make the experience even better.
