We went before a Hurricane’s game. Great to see all the ‘Canes fans. I also appreciated the discount parking for the game.
Some of the best food I have ate! I would recommend to everyone that appreciates meat!!
Update years later, still a great place! Came for dinner and was good, fast and we all loved our meals.
First time visiting and really loved the place. We're setting up a trade show at the fairgrounds and the normal fast food places were swapped, figured why not treat ourselves.
The service was great, the size of the meals were huge and very tasty.
Honestly when I add up the costs wasn't that much more than eating crappy combo meals at the fast food places, so when...read full review

Backyard Bistro is a popular spot for a casual dining experience. The restaurant offers a wide range of tasty southern fare, including BBQ and burgers, as well as unique options like fish tacos. The smash burger is a standout dish, with a generous portion and homemade chips. The patio area is a lovely spot to enjoy a meal on a nice day. The service is also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who are happy to make recommendations. The venue is family-friendly, with a kid-friendly atmosphere and entertainment options, including sports screens everywhere. It is conveniently located near the stadium, making it a great spot for pre-game meals. Recently, the restaurant rebranded as The Local, but still offers delicious food, including flavorful fish tacos. They have also added the vegan burger back to the menu, along with several salad options, which many customers appreciate. The food generally receives positive comments, with highlights like mac & cheese, though some dishes, like chicken sandwiches, may be dry. Customers often mention the friendly staff, especially Megan, and the good service, with some saying the shrimp and grits, fish and chips, and shrimp skewers are very good. The chef makes fresh cocktail sauce that many enjoy. The venue is a great place to visit before a game or any time, despite missing some of the original Backyard Bistro atmosphere.
