I got the chopped beef sandwich and it was amazing! Then I put some of the sauce on it and it was the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. Maybe the best sauce I've ever had! The coleslaw was so good it brought back childhood memories. We told some friends about it and they had a similar experience the next night. This was a great BBQ experience! Great good, great service!

Cedar Rapids very own TENDERNISM!!! Don't sleep on BACKYARD BBQ!…read more We stopped at Backyard BBQ late afternoon around 2pm so it was pretty empty. Lily was our waitress and she was so kind! We had our one year old son with us and she gave us orange slices to snack on while we put in our order. The backyard decor and vibe was so cool and our little one was dancing to the music playing. The food: *Our son has an egg allergy and we ordered the fried rice combo with no egg and they were able to accommodate.* Combo 1: Fried rice with 3 ribs, side of fried rice and baked beans. Combo 2: Fried rice with 1/3 brisket, egg rolls and waffle fries. The ribs and brisket were absolutely melt-in-your-mouth perfectly tender and juicy in a way that's hard to find. Seasoned perfectly I didn't even reach for bbq sauce at first. The fried rice was on point with a rich, satisfying umami flavor that had us going back for more. We wished we ordered more. The baked beans surprised me in the best way. I'm used to the classic sweet style, but these leaned savory with a subtle black pepper kick that made them stand out. Still totally delicious, just a pleasant twist on tradition. And the egg rolls? Don't sleep on them. Fresh out of the fryer, impossibly crispy, and generously stuffed with a great mix of pork, cabbage, carrot, and vermicelli noodles. They were honestly the kind of egg roll you think about after you leave. Highly recommend, this place delivers on all fronts!

Backyard BBQ is in a unique location with a small and cozy vibe as soon as you walk in. The service was speedy fast and the menu was a little smaller but when the quality of food is high that's really all you need.

Very decently priced and great quality for what you are paying! Highly recommended

You can tell they're making their food from scratch and smoking their meats daily. Our food was WONDERFUL. I had brisket and their jalapeno cheddar sausage (made especially for them) and it had a great kick to it! I was so excited I forgot to even take a picture for this review. I assume this is typical but one worker walked around offering samples to try-- they will let you try something before you commit to ordering it as well if you ask! The staff was the friendliest I'd had anywhere, and they were passionate about it too! The atmosphere speaks for itself... my coworker being a veteran got his meal for less than $5! This team was happy, welcoming and beyond helpful. Restaurant was clean and well taken care of. The items were all donated. Very neat to see.

I would try to get a reservation if this is a priority to you. The parking is curbside and can be a little tight. The prices are a little high for the area, but the time and talent to make smoked meats make the prices understandable. The food was good, but there were several things we tried to order, but they were out of those options, so we may have enjoyed them more than what we settled for. Everything from the asparagus to the meats was pretty heavy in black pepper and spices, so it tended to be spicy, which not everyone at the table appreciated. It might not have seemed so spicy if the food was served with some type of bread like at most other bbq type places. We did enjoy the pickles and onion on the plate as the vinegar cut some of the fattines that meat tends to have. I can't say enough good about the service as they were top notch very kind and attentive.

The sandwich portions are generous and come with a small side portion and sliced pickles. The pulled pork comes without sauce and when we went, they only had spicy and blackberry sauce. As far as flavor, we agreed the pork was kinda dry but okay. I had the blackberry sauce, which I found runny and not so flavorful. My boyfriend had the spicy and said it was good, but the kick lingered in his mouth. My coleslaw was weak too. Overall, the location is perfect for this kind of meal. It's a reasonable price for what you get - sandwich, side, and drink. Probably great for local lunches, but we wouldn't go out of our way.

The meat has a great smokey flavor and is very tender. The baked beans have quickly become a favorite and the coleslaw is a close second. They offer huge sandwiches which include 6 oz. meat, one side and a drink for $7.50 or larger platters for around $11. They never keep me waiting long and they have many BBQ sauces to choose from including some interesting ones such as cherry habanero and blackberry. They are usually located around the corner of 7th Ave. and 44th St. in Marion behind Arnold's motor supply. So if you find yourself in the area around lunchtime it's definitely worth the stop!
