Cute neighborhood spot with a large patio. The drinks are good, the food is good but portions are on the smaller side in my experience.

Me and my five friends went for the first time to get drinks and some food to share. We made a reservation and came right at opening (4:15 ish), we all got a fun shot I had the peach tea one that was super yummy, we also tried their Jell-O shots and pudding shots. I got the "bounce bounce" mixed drink that was super good and refreshing. We got a wide variety of apps all pleasantly surprised me, my favs were the potato wedges and the carrots with hummus. Overall Daniel took great care of us and I'd return & recommend!

Tried something new and totally enjoyed the vibe, food and drink at Backyard Social. Can’t wait to go back so we can sit outside. Not pictured is the Polenta Olive Oil Cake and the Butternut Squash Bread that we had. Everything we tried was amazing.

We had Sunday Brunch at Backyard Social today and it was a great experience. The variety of dishes- Vegan Hash, Shakshuka, Chilaquiles, and Blood Orange Polenta cake were all so delicious and flavorful. Our cocktail's - Bloody Mary and Carrot margarita were the perfect complement to our brunch. The service was excellent as well. I highly recommend Backyard Social- we will be back!

I just got done having brunch at Backyard Social for the first time and I am a fan!The hubby and I have been wanting a solid brunch/breakfast place in the neighborhood ever since Beaterville Cafe went under and turned into a dispensary. I will say that Backyard Social is ALMOST this place for us now. My only hang up is that is is not the most veggie friendly place for brunch. They currently have a vegan hash on the menu that was fantastic! I added the eggs to this dish to get some protein and egg yumminess. Besides this dish I suppose I could get a breakfast sandwich without meat or alter another dish.My hubby got the steak end eggs dish and was quite pleased with it. He noted that the steak was of better quality than most other breakfast spots we have been to.I had a bloody maria, which is my brunch go-to. I rate this one very highly at a 9/10 on my scale! I did not need to add spice to the drink and flavors were really great and very well balanced. It also comes in a pineapple shaped glass and with an assortment of pickled items including a purple garlic, carrot, and A MANGO!!! I could not place the mango when I ate it, but it made sense when the server told me what it was. Interesting addition to this classic brunch drink!!The service is always great here and I'm glad they have added this new brunch option! We really needed this in the neighborhood!

OMG this food is so so good. The lentil, mushroom, bean veggie burger is one of the best veggie patties I've had in a long time! Kind staff, quick service. Chill indoor setting with nice outdoor table section. New favorite regular spot for all seasons.

Great food and service. Great people. Nice to have a place that allows kiddos but still serves drinks. :-)

The food was a little spotty, but mostly had a lot of promise. The environment was super pleasant, our server was great... Would absolutely go back again.

This place rocks. Great service! House wine was just as good as fancy varietal. Food looked great-- unfortunately we'd just eaten at another restaurant, blowing our every-few-years big-city restaurant splurge, but wish we'd just had a burger and Brussels-radicchio salad here. Nice salty/spicy popcorn with drinks!

This place might have the best chicken wings I've ever eaten. Service was good, and beer selection was not too shaby. I like that you can order 12oz or 16oz versions of everything on tap. I still haven't ventured into the wine bar, but it looks promising.

Great vibes, friendly staff, delicious food. Intimate and nice enough to be a date night venue, while also being somewhere you could pull up for a quick drink or just nurse a beer and a snack on the patio on a nice day.Vegetarian options: While the menu reads with a focus on the meat options, the veg items are far from afterthoughts - creative and delicious, and with several tasty options. The mushroom toast and broccolini stood out on the last visit.

Not exactly sure what happened to this place, but it has definitely gone downhill. There were two other tables (2 top and 4 top), we opted to dine outside because smells from the kitchen were strong.50 minutes to get our order, drinks, deviled eggs, and salad. 15 minutes after that to get our burgers (burnt on the outside, raw on the inside). The server came by once, not to ask how things were but to ask if we wanted to order anything else.
