    Happy hour menu
    Christine N.

    Service was fast I got the caper salmon and it was really good. Chips and salsa were good too. I'll come back to try the happy hour.

    Flat iron steak sandwich and the chicken breast with lemon cream sauce, mashed potatoes, and asparagus

    Never a bad experience here. You can tell they have had to make some hard decisions to stay open. Come support and don't listen to the losers who find any reason to complain. best steak sandwich and the quality has not suffered given their hardships.

    Steak Loaded Nachos

    Had the roast beef sandwich and it was really good with plenty of pickles and generous amount of beef! I also had their steak nachos from the happy hour special and they were also very good. Look forward to coming here again!

    Unbelievably delicious steamed clams.

    We used to go to this restaurant back when it first opened... The patio was incredibly welcoming and was perfect for multiple families with rambunctious kids. It was a regular stop for us with our group of friends. Well, kids grow up and friends grow apart and you don't necessarily go out to eat with the same people as much as you used to, and we stopped coming. A few weeks ago I turned to my wife and said hey, we haven't been to the backyard in quite a while, we should go... It's so close and I recall the food being really good. Needless to say, we have been back four or five times since that first return a few weeks ago. And my instinct was absolutely correct. The food is amazing, the patio has its own great vibe, especially when there's music. And the staff, especially owner Jen, are unbelievably attentive and Regularly bend over backwards to make sure your experience is five star worthy, even if you aren't planning on writing a review. There is so much good on this menu, even though it is an extensive menu. So many restaurant consultants tell chefs to not provide a huge menu because you're just spending a lot of money on ingredients you may not use. But this is a smart menu, there is a lot of overlap of common ingredients that allow this kitchen to provide a lot of different variety. I mean, my goodness, in just a few visits we've had the steamers, sliders, the grub dog, the Ruben, the club sandwich, the seafood pasta, the grilled chicken breast and at least one salad. Everything is delicious and plentiful, a real dining delight. But here's the thing that sticks out at me the most... The thing that you hope for from an honest restaurant owner. The last several times that we were there, Jen was our server. My mother-in-law, who, like me, loves a good bowl of soup, asked how the tortilla soup was. Normally, Jen said, the tortilla soup is delicious... But this batch isn't very good. We are still trying to perfect a new recipe and the soup isn't very good, I would not recommend it. That is refreshing honesty From someone who understands her customers. It's fine to recommend something, it's even smarter to recommend against something. We will continue to go to the backyard, since it's in our backyard and look forward to eventually having tried everything on the menu. Honestly, I haven't found something on the menu that I wouldn't order again. Thanks Jen and your team, for giving us a place that we feel comfortable and well fed.

    Waiting to be served to me!

    Attention Yelpers, the fundamental reason for this app is to read people's opinion and make an educated guess, well, if you are considering coming here, I highly recommend it for the true Yelpers. Regardless of what you order, you will realize that top ingredients go into everything that comes out of that kitchen. I have not dined here for a long time due to scheduling constraints but let me tell you, nothing has changed and I'm just impressed with the quality and portion of the food. I love potato skins and I believe I had the best potato skins that I've ever had here at The Backyard. Give it a shot if you've never been there, I promise you that you would be a repeat customer.

    Solid happy hour. Great kids menu. Above average draft selection. Can only speak to happy hour and lunch specials. Both good.

    Food was ok, Service is questionable. This place should be a bar scene only, instead of a restaurant and bar. Tables outside were dirty and wanting napkins took to long to get. The fries were really soggy?

    Hell no! Service sucks here.. food is not good! Servers sucks!

    The break room was such a surprise highlight of my weekend spent up in Santa Clarita. When my…read morefriend suggested coming here for dinner, I was kind of confused. However, after spending a full night there hanging out, having fun, I see why she wanted to show me this place. Everything between the vibe, to the food, to the drinks, to the friendly people there; made it an amazing experience from start to finish. The portion size here are huge so we were able to share everything! We got a folded sandwich the turkey hamwich, their TBR burger, spicy turkey n' bacon melt, and their wings Amy's way, and wow. Everything was cooked too perfection, extremely flavorful and it came out very fast. Amazing service. After dinner, we stayed because the DJ was playing absolute bangers!!!!! The bar staff all were so kind and friendly. I never felt more welcome from staff like that before. They have this super cool menu of cocktails that are inspired by the pool balls numbers! I was able to tried them all, and the number 5 ball Whiskey Sour is my personal favorite! A close second is their Break, Run, Repeat cocktail! Definitely give those a try. We got to play both pool and darts. Their tables are in such nice condition, well taking care of and they are all diamond tables. The break room gave me a amazing night out with my friends. I never been to a place like this before. I can't think of one negative thing to say, my visit here was pure fun. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in town, and hoping OC gets a place like this soon.

    We didn't order food, but we came out for 45 minutes of pool and a two rounds of shots of cheap…read moretequila and ended up with a bill of $130 . The place was clean and our server was very nice, but the prices are absolutely ridiculous and consider highway robbery for a billiards date. There is no shot of tequila under 15 bucks and the rates just to play pool are absurd. We didn't even try the food. And we probably won't be back because even they're happy hour. Prices are still quite ridiculous. Edit: I appreciate the clarification regarding the individual charges. To be clear, my review was not alleging that I was charged for something I didn't order or that the prices were undisclosed. My review was simply sharing my personal experience that I found the pricing unusually high for the amount of time we spent there and that it affected my decision to return. I understand that businesses have operating costs and are entitled to set their prices, just as customers are entitled to decide whether those prices fit their budget. I wish your business continued success.

    Awesome people and lots of fun playing trivia on a Thursday night! Rachel and Tony behind the bar…read moreand David trying to celebrate a Bday low-key, but got a pub serenade anywho. lol Lots of creative craft brews on tap, but Ima seltzer gal. Their Sweet Sally is a very nice, simple seltzer to which customers can add a flavored syrup, but I enjoyed it plain. the 7.3% ABV was a perfect delight and refreshing on this warm SCV night. Plenty of room to hunker down, spread out, group tables for your 10 besties, or belly up to the bar. We brought grub from Capriotti's, others had The Stand, and others grabbed some tacos outside. I really enjoy the freedom of a simple brewhouse allowing food. I think it improves the casual hang vibe a LOT! The taco tent, and I suppose the other rotating food vendors, set up in the cul-de-sac, about 50 yards away, not right outside. JUST OUTSIDE is plenty of free parking. I can really see why locals have dubbed this a "hidden gem". Indeed, repeat customers and friendly staff that know their patrons, in a clean, comfortable environment. 2 clean, gender neutral bathrooms and a beautiful distilling room with, I'll go ahead and assume the risk of saying, each brewmasters name on a gleaming brewery vessel. The night may start off quiet, with some folks looking to enjoy a libation whilst diving into a book, or engaging in quiet conversation, or playing cards. But at any time, fun is just an 80s song away, so come to Santa Cruz Brewing and tell 'em "CC" sent you. Sure, they'll say 'WHOOOO???', but giggle and get a pint - or TWO! Cheers! "CC"

We went all the way around the back and finally ended up back in the front where we saw a few cars parked and realized this was the place. No biggie. We found this place on Instagram. After looking thru their page, we decided we wanted to give this place a try. They had a week full of events. This particular Sunday, they advertised "bring your own picnic". The staff was really nice. I'm not drinking right now, but the people I went with do. I asked for non-alcoholic and was glad to know they had a few options. I tried the Free Wave Hazy IPA by Athletic Brewing Co. Soooo tasty. I would give this place 3.5 starts but I'll round it up to 4 stars. The reason being: there was no vibes. For being St. Patty's day weekend...and from seeing their page. Vibes were definitely lacking. Not sure what the rest of my party had, but they seemed to like beer they had. I know I enjoyed mine. I would come back to this place but only if I'm in the area.
