Ok if you can get past the overpriced beer and the poor service and the visual of the bartender short pouring the double, you get charged with things you don't get, but I'm not paying , on the company. When the manager is told and he says I'm too busy, ah welcome to Houston, home of the poooorrr service. read more

Doordash order was incorrect.... again. Called to speak with manager last time, was put on hold and finally hung up when it was apparent they were not going to pick up the call. Not wasting my time again. Delivery took so long this time both food orders were cold. Buyer beware. read more

Ordered a taco salad for delivery. Arrived with spinach,huge hunks of lettuce, tomatoes, olives and sour cream, BUT NO meat whatsoever! I called to complain and was told they could not deliver the correct order! What a rip! read more

Good family-friendly restaurant with a large selection and descent prices. Won't break the bank. Good beer selection too!

Ah, a restaurant up in my ancestral homeland of Jersey Village that actually has a really good tap selection. The beer is definitely the draw for me for this place, definitely the best I've seen in this area and just about on par with some of the best beer spots in my current neighborhood of Montrose. But the hot sauces are also a draw here; if you're ordering wings, I'd definitely recommend asking for the Bucket of Destruction and sampling all of them. On the subject of the food, it's what I'd call pretty good but never jaw-dropping. But if you're coming here to sit at the bar, that's all you need anyway. There are definitely a lot of regulars here, but you won't get weird looks if it's your first time. read more

I love this place, I really do. I'll continue coming here for the foreseeable future. The menu has a broad range, and everything always tastes great. Excellent selection of craft beers, and a club for you to join to boot! However, I cannot give it more than 3 stars due to the Gnat problem at the bar. Several visits here I have gotten a Gnat fly into my beer or on my food. It's summer in Texas so I know this is a hard battle, but I have spoken to the owner about it before. A year later and they still accost my refreshments! Fix the flies and you'll have your 5 stars. read more

I hadn't been there in years so my boyfriend and I decided to pop in. I ordered a pound of crawfish and he had chicken fried steak. The crawfish was big and very well seasoned. I love spicy food, so seasoning is BIG with me when it comes to crawfish. I was very satisfied read more

We always come here for good food and great service especially from Austin he is very attentive! Thank you!

Yikes - bad food for take out. Called ahead and were advised that gravy is given as a side on chicken fried steak. Food arrived luke warm and no gravy for two orders of chicken fried steak and mashed potatoes. toasted white bread given with one order but not buttered. not an appetizing diner and will not do again. read more

Everyone in family loves the backyard grill. We enjoy every visit and the food is always delicious. Plus they have fun themed night for the kids a couple times a week. read more

If you crave a really flavorful hamburger and you like mesquite flavor...this is your place! I travel all over the US on a regular basis and have to say these guys make one of the best burgers around. Fries are great as well!!!only complaint is no Guinness draft....this is my go to place when I crave a burger and get disappointed trying a different local joint. For the food I give a 4.5...service is great as well. read more

Nice place and great food. My husband had the Buckaroo and it was delicious! I had the MushroomJack Chicken and was not dissapointed. We will definitely be coming back. read more

The Backyard Grill - Tree in the middle of the restaurant - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was an ok place to eat. The atmosphere was good, the food was good. Nothing to write home about. They had an outside dining area that looked nice. My dinner came out as ordered. The best thing about this place was that the staff was excellent. The kitchen staff prepared the food to my request, the hostess was nice, and the waiter was professional. I guess the name sums it up, it reminds me of what I can get on my grill in the backyard. That is good food with a casual atmosphere, but not really any fireworks. I would say that this could be a good lunch spot. Prices were average to medium high and portions were budgeted. It wasn't a disappointment, but it didn't stand out, either. read more

Crawfish was terrible we didn't even eat half of it. It was under seasoned and undercooked. We told our waiter we didn't like it because he asked us how our food was. So he sent the manager to our table and the manager was the biggest asshole ever he picked up one of the crawfish and ate it and told us it tasted fine to him and that he sold 200 lbs the day before so he doesn't know what we were expecting from him. We weren't expecting anything we didn't even ask to talk to him. Not once did he apologize or offer to fix the problem. He was very rude and I will not be going back because of him. read more

Great experience every single time! Good food and great drinks.... Amazing bartender I cannot remember her name‍‍ but makes need best jalapeno Margarita this! read more

I've always passed place up and decided to give it try. This was our first time coming here and the service from beginning to end was absolutely fantastic! Our waitress Jennifer brought us complimentary chips and salsa on our first visit. I thought this was so awesome given the fact we wanted to order that for our app. The salsa was really good! Next, she went over the drink menu, food menu, and their dessert at the end. We ordered the margarita flight which came in 4 delissshh flavors. I've been used to having beer flights and I thought this was a refreshing offer for a hot summer day. I have to say this place has the best grilled chicken!! I got the 4 Seasons Chicken in Lemon Pepper Flavor. To finish our dinner we got the Fried Apple Pie. Yummyyy! I enjoyed how attentive our waitress was. She constantly checked on us, cleared out our plates when done, and took the time to explain the menu. The icing on the cake is the General Manager Fred who personally came to our table twice to check on us. This place earned the 5-stars! Oh and if you enjoy live music they have an acoustic player on Friday evenings. Great atmosphere! Will definitely be back!! read more

The Backyard Grill - Omg they offer these refreshing Margarita Flights!! - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food and service here is always great! Been coming here for the past 10 years and it never disappoints.

Food is good. Not a bad price. But dont expect a wow. Servers are nice, but sometimes forget stuff.

The very best crawfish muddy and spicy for me please...great prices and the beer is cold...

My husband and I love this place when we want a nice, relaxing dinner out. It's got good food and service and they send you coupons and discounts if you sign up through email. The pricing is pretty decent too. Only real complaint I have is that their tables are attached to the walls in the booths, so if you aren't careful, you'll get one that has the booths too close to the table and it is uncomfortable if you can't shift the booth back. It's not a fancy fine-dining place, but if you're looking for a nice family night out, this is a good place to try. read more

The best beer selection in Houston. Love their burgers and of course it's crawfish season!

I had tried the hangover burger on sourdough bread and it was delicious. It is very different from and other hangover burger but it taste way better!!!!! Amazing read more

FOOD IS SO DELICIOUS!!! I could eat here over and over and over again!! The bourbon pecan grilled chicken is to die for!! Also, a must try is the sampler flight of MARGS!! Strawberry being the best with mango in a close 2nd! Lots of space for large parties and an outdoor area for kids to play!! read more

We ate here" to go". It was my first time so I tried their bacon burger which extremely dry. Wings nasty with no flavor, queso cheese dip no flavor, artichoke dip no flavor. All the food we tried had no flavor at all, really bland.I was disappointed that the food taste so bad. Never again and I do not recommend. read more

The breakfast chicken fried steak and gravy was superior to all! The hash was delicious too! I had the sauce bucket at my side trying the various spicy flavors out! I'm such a foodie!!! read more

Really loud. We sat outside and it was still loud enough to hear the music. Food was okay. Nothing special. Waitstaff was friendly. Just another so so place. read more

This is definitely a place I will go back to. May not be one of the best restaurants but the feeling is like eating in your own backyard. The experience was pleasant for a Saturday morning breakfast. The make your own omelet options weren't enough though. The omelet was a good size I liked the bucket of hot sauces the server brought to our table. The chipotle had a good kick. Not really my momma's food but I will go back. Also worth mentioning the restaurant's involvement with little league and other local sport leagues. That's definitely worth supporting! read more

I haven't tried a great variety of food here, but what I have had has been a 3.5 out of 5. We always get good service though so that's a plus. We loved coming here with our toddler so he could play in the sand box, but was very disappointed with our last visit. There was older kids left unsupervised throwing sand at other kids in their face and claimed all the toys. No parents in sight. It would be great if them implemented to not leave kids unsupervised to avoid ugly situations in the future. read more

Sat outside on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Friendly staff and excellent burger (ordered the Snakebite burger). Definitely on my list of top burger places in Houston. read more

My husband and I meet here a couple times a month for lunch. Great food and fast service. I love the grilled sandwich and seasoned fries! You can't go wrong at this place. Definitely worth it. read more

Had the mixed kabobs. They might have been good the first time they were cooked, but mine were microwaved beyond hot and tough.

This was my first BYG experience. Kids eat free today (monday) which is a big plus. I got a mixed grill kabob and wasn't that impressed. My daughter got chicken strips and liked them. I enjoyed the atmosphere ( u sit under a big fake tree) The crawfish looked legit so I wouldn't minding giving BYG another shot. They do have lots of specials (ESP for kids) and a daily Happy Hour. I rate this spot "just average" read more

Every time I go to the Backyard Grill I am greeted by friendly staff and great food no matter what I am in the mood for. From fajitas to chili to chicken or fish-these guys know their stuff. Their burgers are some of the best I have had. Go here! You won't be disappointed! read more

We love coming here - this is our go-to place when we have friends or family in to visit. The menu is huge and offers a variety of options to please everyone. I have yet to try something that I didn't like! It is also very family friendly. They do have a sandbox (be warned) and a kids room with a TV. The kids menu offers grilled chicken & fruit - as parent, I love a non-fried choice. They also frequently have activities for the kids. read more

I took my family there to eat two weeks ago. The service was horrible and un-attentive we waited 45 minutes for our food to come out. When it finally came out our food was cold. The manager came out and apologized for the poor service and food quality and gave us a coupon to come back. Well last night we went back to give them another try. It was more of the same, un- attentive waitstaff and cold food. The sirloin I ordered was of poor quality, tough and chewy. read more

This place is awesome. The atmosphere is awesome. The food is great and the service is top notch. The best spinach dip in Houston by far and the burgers are amazing. Great fries and onion rings. The chicken fried steak was amazing as well. We will definitely be visiting again. Ask for Jaclyn or Lynn. They will take care of you. read more

Crawfish were nice and large and it is great to get something 'spicy' and actually having it come out spicy!! The Boilpot is well with it...and of course the beer. Enjoy, we did! read more

Great place to take the kids. Queso is excellent. I had the ribs and thoroughly enjoyed them. My wife had the chicken fingers and liked them too. There is a sandbox for the kids to play it. My son had the grilled cheese and was farting up a storm that night but my wife blamed it on the fries. We would return. With my recent flare-ups of IBS, this place is a IBS-friendly establishment. My wife claimed I ripped the sheets the other night but it was a false alarm. read more

I recently used Backyard Grill Catering for my wedding. The food was great however, I am disappointed in the customer service provided to me. I am not a wedding planner so therefore, I do not know all that encompasses having food catered for a wedding. I should not have to just stumble upon information. I feel as though the job of a caterer is to provide necessary information and requirements for both parties however, this was not the case. When I first approached them for questions, I was sent an email with the menu. No problem, I reviewed the menu and emailed them saying I would like to talk about a couple of items. Jennisa called my husband and I to go over the package we were interested in. Jennisa then sent us a quote via email. I approved the quote and was then sent over a CC authorization form. We paid half of the total. As we got closer to the wedding, numbers and items were adjusted to fit our needs. This is also when I was told our bartender needed an entire hour (out of the 4 hours we elected) for set up and clean up. This is something that should have been covered initially. We were told the 4 hours included set up and break down but not that it would be an entire hour of the time we paid for. Jennisa recommended we account for children with full size plates as this would cover adults who eat more than their provided portion. We took her advice and added these. Backyard Grill Catering arrived on time and the food was great however, at the end of the night we noticed we did not have any leftovers. Considering we had some guests that did not show up, we were confused by this and wondered if someone took our food. I reached out to John with Backyard and asked how much leftovers we had. He said they served almost all of the food. My husband questioned how this could be as we had about 13 extra servings due to no shows. Jennisa then responded saying their insurance does not allow them to leave food behind because they do not know what happens as far as refrigeration after they leave. I find this odd since they left the vendors food on the counter when they left (not refrigerated). I then told Jennisa we should have been provided this information. She then told me the terms are posted on their website. I did not design their website nor do I work for Backyard Grill Catering. How am I to KNOW that I need to go to a specific page on their website to view their terms? I would have if I was instructed to do so. No apology was given that we were not provided this information. Instead, it was OUR fault. I then went to the website to try and find the terms they were referring to. The terms have an initial line at the bottom of each page meaning this is something I should have been given, initialed, and returned but that was not the case. I went through all communication provided to me to ensure I did not miss this and I was never sent this information nor instructed that it was my responsibility to go to the website, sign the terms agreement, and return. All in all, yes the food was good. They did arrive on time and we had enough food but the customer service made this a lot more stressful than it should have been. read more
