Will never order food from this place. It was really nasty. Also a bottle of water for $3.00

We've been to the place twice. Both times they have had a line and only one register. The process takes a rather long time. The Farmer's Market is a great burger, but the price for burgers is a bit on the high side considering sides are $3. The woman taking our orders seems to be either brand new or brand new to running a cash register. Both times I never witnessed a sense of urgency with her at the register. We would love to come for lunch someday but with only one person taking orders and limited lunch time it doesn't seem likely. The food is good but not sure worth the wait. read more

We went to the Backyard , on Harrison last night. There was 6 in our party. We all got burgers . It is a cute concept, except the price of the burgers is crazy $9.50 for a plain cheeseburger . There is two tiny ( maybe 2 oz.) (seriously over cooked ) because they are so small burgers on the bun. Have to say this was the worst burger ever ! 5 burgers , 3 fries, 3 drinks for $71.00 CRAZY !!!!!!! read more

The food is amazing. Pimento cheese dip and smoked tuna dip, I definitely recommend. Danielle was super helpful with my order and the service was off the chart. I now have a new favorite place. read more

Great food, great customer service and a nice neighborhood spot to bring the little ones so they can eat and play!

Came here for a Sunday lunch. They were busy, but not overly crowded. My fiancé and I got an order of their wings to start, which were really good. The flavor was excellent and the house made blue cheese was a nice compliment. Any complaints are they they are a little pricey and they serve the wings whole, which can make eating a little difficult. Would be better if they separated them into the different pieces. We each got a burger with pimento cheese and bacon and an order of sweet potato fries to share. The burger was pretty good, though definitely of the backyard grill variety (thin and cooked well done). The fries were also pretty good for sweet potato fries. Can get a little pricey, as all of the burger fixings increase the cost. read more

I checked in between lunch and dinner on a week day, and found the place nice and quiet, with only a few patrons around. You order from the bar and pay first. The burgers are double patty with a wide cheese selection. The meat is flame broiled and has a solid smoky flavor. Sides include sweet potato fries which come with cracked sea salt and are great. The staff was very friendly and laid back. I never got the you're-finished-now-get-out-of-here vibe. read more

Great food! BBQ sauce was phenomenal and portions are large. Try the tuna dip too! Homemade potato chips!

A friend and I stopped there for lunch. First time. Not good. I ordered a burger and it had soooo much salt, I could barely eat it. My friend ordered the wings.....they were horrible!! Very very tough!!! No flavor. Will not be returning!! read more

The food and atmosphere are great. A small playground for children 2-5. Come for lunch and get a lunch combo - a burger or chicken sandwich, sweet potato fries, and a drink for $11.50. They even have an outside tv for the saints game ! read more

I've been waiting months for this place to open, and while they appear to still be in a soft opening, I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out so far. They know how to cook a damn good burger and make a stiff drink. And even though it's isn't necessarily a kids' place, they've got a kid's menu, and have a playground so me and the wifeypoo can enjoy those drinks I mentioned earlier. I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time there. read more

The concept is great and totally unique to New Orleans. My son is out of the toddler phase, but you don't know how many times I wished for this when he was younger: a place where adults can relax and sip drinks while the little ones play! I can't really judge the food other than the hot dog kid's meal, and that was on point, with at least 3 servings of crispy hot tater tots, and a pretty-solid jumbo size grilled angus beef hotdog on a potato roll. There are several craft cocktails, which they put in giant tumblers for outdoor sipping. The indoor atmosphere was a nice surpise as well! It was really cool and modern with high-end reclaimed looking finishes. As for the backyard part of things, you can smell the food grilling, enjoy the drinks, and have fun without the stress of looking at your own backyard, which probably could use some fertilizer, truth be told. read more

We love this place! The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the playground is priceless. It's so wonderful to be able to come out with our daughter and meet up with friends over drinks and good food. Even our childless friends enjoy the backyard! The addition of fans outside makes the NOLA heat a bit more bearable read more

We stopped here for our first meal in New Orleans, and we were amazed at how delicious the food was! I got the house salad with grilled chicken - the salad was fresh and tasty, and the chicken was seasoned/cooked perfectly. Other friends got the tuna and brisket sandwiches, and were very happy with them. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, and all the food was ready very quickly. The backyard patio was a great place to hang out on a beautiful afternoon! read more

I had high expectations for this place, but it was just okay. The tater tots were really good, but the burger was just basic. I'd prefer atomic or mooyah over it. The inside was really hot & muggy. Might go again to try something else, but def not a go to type restaurant read more

A fun place for kids because of "The Backyard" hence the name? Or maybe not...quaint place with a very relaxed atmosphere. Ordered a yummy pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. Ate in the backyard, among trees, kids, parents and grandparents. Sat on wooden picnic tables with umbrellas to guard us from the afternoon sun. What a great idea to have a playground in the yard of a restaurant; small but nevertheless a playground for the kiddies. The food was excellent and the ambience made you feel as if you were out in the country, not in the middle of a neighborhood. Way to go! Good food and entertainment for the young ones! read more

It's good but no napkins on the table at a bbq place? Brisket sandwich was tender and moist. Ribs hot to the touch not fall off the bone and a little hard to cut with the plastic knife. Pulled pork well it's pulled pork. Descent seating inside but lots of room outside. Ordering is a little slow line gets backed up. Lots of people here on a Sunday. I would do again. read more

I ordered a chicken sandwich, it was amazing. Love the food. I love how they are on the ordering apps so when I don't want to leave my house I can just order it. It was amazing food. Definitely recommend this to anyone looking for great burgers or chicken sandwich's read more

They have a great lunch special but oddly enough, don't have baked beans or macaroni and cheese on the menu. My grilled chicken sandwich was very flavorful and the bun was fresh and delightful. There are two kinds of BBQ sauce, both are vinegar-based more similar to Carolina style but it's not on the table like other condiments. They do have really cute outdoor seating. read more

After waiting at the DMV for hours... we drove around looking for a place to eat and have a drink. We found the Backyard.What luck! Delicious burgers excellent service and a really cool owner. Can't wait to go back for the brisket! read more

A great place for parents to take the kids and have some good food...Also a few good local beers on tap. I have to recommend the bomb burger with crinkle cut fries. read more

I stopped in based on reviews and I must say they were very good... Seasalt on the fries really bring the taste out... The beef has a very good flavor... For $15-$17 I will say it's worth it... read more

Really good but kinda pricey! Tuna dip is SPOT on and the grilled chicken sandwich was sooo good

We stopped in on a whim. I think the playground in the backyard will be great as it gets cooler. They also have some great local beers on tap. The food was just okay and for the price. Its one of those places where the fries cost extra when you order a sandwich. The main problem though was that they gave my 3 yr old a burnt grilled cheese. It was the kind of burnt that any normal person would throw in the trash and start again. Gordon Ramsey would be very upset. read more

We came here for lunch and we're very impressed. Wonderful staff and cook! They were attentive and pleasant. The food was excellent as well. Open kitchen lets you see what's being cooked and how the food is prepared. Very clean and family friendly. My husband enjoyed the beers on tap. All around great experience. read more

One of the best burger joints in NOLA!! Great burgers and a nice selection of local beers on tap!!! read more

The Backyard - The Burger (with pimento cheese) - Burgers Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Went on Sunday with the kids. Great burgers, very kid friendly (outdoor jungle gym, picnic tables and adult beverages). Highly recommend. read more

Delicious food, great service, and the staff were very helpful. I had the sloppy joe and they make it from the burnt brisket ends. Best sloppy joe I've ever had! read more

Guy at the front counter did not even acknowledge us when we came in and was too busy talking to a friend. Burgers were overcooked and had no flavor. Food way overpriced for what it was. Seems like a place where Lakeview types hang out with friends- but no appeal for me. In this town you have to have superior food and friendly service. Wish I'd gone to Bud's. read more

Pretty disapointing. Expensive for what you get. The burned my daughters grilled cheese and seemed to use the outside sides of burger buns for the inside of the sandwhich. Because a grilled cheese is pretty hard I guess. Guy seemed high and impatient taking our order. Good beer though read more

Great place to eat if you have kids. There is a playground out back for 2-5 year olds. So great to grab a beer, and sit at a picnic table while the kids play, waiting for our food. Burger and brisket were delicious. Can't wait to come back. read more

The overall cost for my tiny sandwich, a side of cole slaw and a soda, was $15.97. What a rip off... I am very disappointed with this place. I was so excited to see a new restaurant in lakeview especially since I live in the area. From the outside it looks pretty good. I ordered the sloppy joe and brisket sandwich and it was totally tasteless and kinda watery. The serving portion is tiny, there must have been at most 2 tablespoons of sloppy joe and brisket combined. The bread was the cheap hamburger bread you find at winn dixie. Even the server apologized about the bread, he said they were out of their normal bread. Then I ordered a side of cole slaw, which I returned for a refund. It was totally bland and tasted like cardboard. Cole slaw is easy come on... Honestly I felt like if I ate it I was going to be sick so I returned it. read more

I ordered one burger and fries 40 minutes ago, on a Monday night, and still no food. They are NOT busy. I don't care how good this food is. No joint should take this long on a Monday night with a slow crowd. read more

From the minute you walk in the door, the "neighborhood friends" greet you with so much hospitality and happiness that you feel like you're visiting your best childhood friend from YOUR OWN neighborhood! The smoked wings that we split were nearly the size of turkey wings and smoked perfectly, moist and tender fall of the bone meat on the inside without being dry but crispy crackle skin on the outside. I had the regular burger with 2 flat patties, a little overdone for my taste but delicious. I'm sure if I asked for 1 thick patty, they would have perfected this delectable structure. But the hit of the afternoon was the Boom Burger. My wife got it without a bun. She cut a bite for me to taste which included the fresh Louisiana beef, mushrooms, caramelized onion and Swiss cheese drizzled in truffle oil. WOW! BAM! It tasted like beef dish you would imagine getting at one of the five-star fine restaurants that require jacket & tie. Without question, the BEST bar food experience with a picnic table atmosphere and counter service ordering that's brought to your table we've ever had. To add compliments to enjoyment, their creative cocktails crafted behind a small limited stocked bar would rival some of the city's best mixologists. The grand finally was the joke one of the managers shared as we were about to leave which confirmed the opening statement of feeling like you're in the old neighborhood of where you grew up and sealed the fate of this place being a regular spot for our family especially in the fall when it's cool enough to sit on the patio, let the kids play on the BACKYARD playground while we enjoy some college football! read more

service was pretty good but the food was not so well. we got a sloppy joe which was dry no sauce. we got wings which were pretty good. we got the kids burger which was overly priced. we got the zeus which is a chicken sandwich and had no flavor. we got a boom burger which was not the best. the crinkle fries were normal but the sweet potato fries were burnt. overall it was ok but i wouldn't go again. read more

I love their grilled chicken sandwich! Awesome fries too. Great spot to bring the kids to play outside.

Wanted to love this place as its so close to home base ... But It's too expensive for average food. We paid 3 dollars for 10 tator tots. It's will not be on our regular rotation. read more

Super chill place. Great burger and sloppy joe! Service is friendly and tvs inside and out for watching the game.

Very good, tasty burger. Beers are too expensive though, $6 for a pint of Parish Envie.

After all the breaded, fried, boiled and sauced at other restaurants, the menu at The Backyard offers a good change for the palate. The veggie burger-The Farmers Market- is made on site with fresh vegetables, grated on site and blended with enough heat to make it worth another visit. After the sun goes down this family friendly restaurant becomes the neighborhood bar- a place for everyone. read more
