Menu
Pak's Backyard is a casual outdoor restaurant located behind Port Austin kayak rentals, providing a convenient spot to grab a bite after a day on the water. The menu is limited but offers a range of options, including the highly praised Good for You Burger on a pretzel bun, sandwiches, and local craft beer on tap. The atmosphere is laid back, with a fun outdoor seating area that is pet-friendly. The outdoor setting is peaceful and beautiful, making it a perfect place to relax. While the food is generally good, visitors have noted exceptional service, especially during busy times. The view from the restaurant is also very good, offering a lovely backdrop for meals. Although the chairs are low and may not be comfortable for everyone, the nice terras in the back and good music create an enjoyable vibe. Visitors often appreciate the overall experience, though some suggest adding an upper deck for better views of the harbor and lake. Despite some minor service issues, Pak's Backyard remains a great spot to enjoy a meal with a view during the summer, making trips to Port Austin extra special.
