First time dining. The noise from music and tv made conversation impossible. Do not go here if you want a quiet dinner. We enjoyed salmon, street tacos and lettuce wraps.
BackYard - Desert RidgeResponded on 27 September 2024
Ranelle, we're so glad you enjoyed the food at Backyard! We do want to remind our guests that we are a live music venue and stream football games with sound on, which can make the atmosphere more lively. If you're looking for a quieter dinning experience, we recommend visiting us earlier in the day! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.

It was my first time at Backyard and I loved it. The atmosphere was so energetic. I thoroughly enjoyed the tasty bar food and drinks at very reasonable happy hour prices. Our server was exceptional and provided great service. I especially loved the games within the establishment that guests could play while eating and drinking. The backyard-style decor was great and added to my overall satisfaction of this neighborhood gem.

Food was great! Was very loud with the band AND a full building but it was the weekend and didn’t love that there were barking dogs at the table next to us (inside!!!) but still an enjoyable night.
