I was skeptical about this place due to the reviews and the food being labeled Cajun. As someone who grew up in the south eating Cajun food, most places just throw Tony's on it and think that's good enough. NOT TERRY! I got his gumbo, and wow... what a blast from the past. These reviews are not wrong. This man can cook, and the food is authentic. Eating it reminded me of home. Thank you so much. I am now a permanent customer.

I had just driven 11 hours from Vegas to Medford and I was craving soul food! I walked in and Terry was closed, but he was gracious enough to feed me. I ordered Shrimp Gumbo and WOW, it was delicious !! I am looking forward to hanging out here when I come back to Medford. Thank you!

I’ll never forget how welcoming and inclusive they are to everybody, except breed discrimination towards larger dogs they don’t like. After paying a $20 entry and hanging out for well over an hour with no issue, getting along with everyone and making friends because everyone loves the dogs, two bouncers were directed to target and harass me with overbearing tone body language and aggressive behavior, which created tension and drama, in an effort to purposely provoke my dogs and get me to leave. My dogs are so well behaved their ruse didn’t work, but they forced me out of my seat because they wanted to give it to someone else. I felt compelled to leave to prevent my dogs from another maliciously evocative encounter, or possibly being forcibly and illegally ejected from the premises with out just cause. Not the first time a proprietor has lied to the police to force my dogs out.

The message was loud and clear. All his patrons love the dogs, but he doesn’t. Our kind isn’t welcome there even though we caused no incident. I even went back a few months later for a togo order and he recognized us, so he came out to greet me with a hostile stare as he walked to an office and slammed a door.

Just calling out shame. for a place that “prides” themselves on inclusively. They need to be more careful about who they’re discriminating against because marginalized people and service animals aren’t always obvious, and they could be subjected to legal action.

It’s a very limited bar with average food trucks that are always inconveniently closed, in a parking lot with no bathrooms, just disgusting porta potties that stink up the place, perfect for local alcoholics to congregate. For the prices they charge, you could pick a brick and mortar establishment that has better entertainment, climate control, and running water. Even if you are not subjected to discriminatory treatment, still not worth it.

My husband and I were coming home from a baseball game and wanted something really delicious so we decided to go to The Backyard, because one thing about Terry... he's going to give you some delicious food!!

The portions are always generous, the flavor is ALWAYS incredible, and the service makes you feel like you're hanging out with your family (the fun family though, the family that makes you laugh until your cheeks hurt).

Terry is an important part of our community, and his mission is to spread love. He might as well do it while feeding you the best food!

The vibe is relaxed, chill, and fun. They have a lot of fun table games available, and a jumbo Connect 4. They do fun Comedy Nights, and don't forget about the live music if you wanna get out and dance. It's definitely worth a drive over on a nice warm evening to see what they have going on.

You can't go wrong with anything you order there, but our favorites are the Seafood Gumbo, and we had a shrimp and rice bowl last night that was absolutely delicious!
