    The Backyard Burger with mustard
    Melody P.

    Excellent service and food! Needed a place to watch the 49er game and eat and this place was perfect! Reason prices good amount of food. Lots of seats to watch the game. Will stop by again if we are ever in the area.

    My girlfriend and I had a little range time together on a Sunday, and when heading back to Sacramento we decided to stop into The Backyard. For a late lunch/early dinner. We arrived a little after 4 and waited a few minutes at the door and then were seated at a table in the main area. After getting our menus we looked over everything and started with drinks, and then eventually ordered our main meals and ordered the following: Drinks: Fall Off the Porch Peach Tea Spicy Pina Paloma Meals: BBQ Duo Chicken Tenders Dessert: (Weekly special) Banana Cream Pie I ordered the Fall Off the Porch Peach Tea which was good, my girlfriend ordered the Spicy Paloma which she said wasn't bad, but she noted it wasn't that spicy. When I took a sip I didn't notice it at all. Our dishes were really good, I had the BBQ Duo Andy girl had tje chicken tenders. I paired the tri tip and pulled pork. The beans were really good too and the waffle cut fries were fresh, hot and crisp. The dessert we were disappointed with. It was ok but it didn't taste like it was made from scratch. And tasted more like imitation banana, or banana flavoring and not from real bananas. So we could've gone without it. Overall: Nice spot and would definitely check it out again in the future when in the area.

    Getting a kiss for the grey dinner suggestion!!

    We stopped in for burgers and were treated wonderfully. This place somehow manages to balance a busy, success business with spot-on service and good food. My suggestion is the Mac and Cheese - I was able to get a small taste before ordering!!! Who DOES that anymore???

    Great bbq and great service. Was a great place to stop along the way home. I ordered the loaded baked potato with tri tip. The meat had a delicious Smokey flavor.

    July 30, 2026 the spouse and I went to an estate sale in Pollock Pines today and came down into…read morePlacerville for lunch before heading home. We were headed to a place I was familiar with and while going down Main Street saw Burning Barrel. I quickly hoped on their website and rattled off a few items and we pulled into the closest parking lot and made our way over. The restaurant was empty of guests and the young man at the counter was welcoming, asking if this was our first visit, and showed us the food and drink menu and the board of current craft beers. I chose the Longhorn (tri tip) sandwich and fries and a Lillikoi Mai Tai, and the spouse chose the Pastrami Sandwich and a beer called Dank. They do not do table service so after ordering we grabbed a seat. This is a pretty large open space with an outdoor patio, several roll up doors and misters at the outside. Shortly after sitting down a server came over with our meals. I started with a french fry, and I have to say these are the best french fries I have ever had, in my life time. I don't know if its the way they cut the fries, the way they are seasoned, what they are fried in or all of the above, but they were delicious! Our sandwiches were outstanding! Both were incredibly flavorful and filling, and even after I was full I continued eating because everything tasted SO GOOD. The drinks were excellent too, so good that we ordered a second round. The young man at the counter also made my mai tai and did an excellent job. About halfway into our meal other guests started to arrive and by the time we left there were at least 4-5 parties of guests in the restaurant. I will absolutely return, and highly recommend Burning Barrel. I was also pleased to see that they have a Rancho Cordova location, which is a little closer to my home in the Valley. Thank you Burning Barrel for the excellent food, drinks and customer service! You made our great day even better!

    To start off, the nectars are very good. When they do make it, the dark blue milk is EXCELLENT. The…read moreother beers are decent. As for food: the fries are cooked perfectly, and the pretzel, is a good pretzel. The cheese sauce is trash. It is so bland and even grainy, there was no point consuming it. The mustard was much better. Now the important part for safety: All the napkins and utensils are inside. They bring the food to your table but you are expected to get those other things. I was here alone and did not plan ahead. I did not feel safe leaving my drink and food alone outside, so I could go inside to get a napkin. So I will probably try this place again but there are some issues.

You'll see people biking here (there's a bike parking area), bringing their dogs (the brewery provides dog treats and water bowls), and enjoying live music. There are several seating areas to choose from: * Outdoor covered seating near the food truck * Indoor seating with air conditioning * Outdoor covered seating by the live music * Additional outdoor seating close to the stage Restrooms: Two clean, well-maintained stalls with air conditioning. One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!

Both couples in our party were sharing salad then main course with our partners, she had the salads split and brought spare plates for the entree. Two birthdays are the reason we went here.

I love my tart, vinegar, lemon, capers, and pickled stuff....hubby....eh..not so much. So I ordered German Meatballs and my lovely pretzel with beer cheese. The meatballs are meaty, potatoes are the real deal, mashed and with gravy poured on top! Hubby ordered the beef brisket with spatzle. The brisket was tender and the spatzle was quite mac n cheesy, using gouda as the cheese of choice. So I am loving my lovely pretzel and mustard, loving his brisket and spatzle, and loving my german meatballs. Good heavens this place was made for me! Hubby on the other hand is not a fan of tart or cheesy. So he is less than satisfied. In order to rectify this problem I order the Haus Plate with the sweinschnitzel and mashed potatoes and gravy. It comes with sauerkraut, rotkohl, and seasonal veggies (sauerkraut and rotkohl on the side). The beer of choice is hefeweizen, it goes well with the tang of the dijon mustard. Hubby wasn't a fan of the orange notes. Hubby did appreciate the sweinschnitzel and seasonal veggies though. Hooray! I love coming here and will continue my patronage!!

The atmosphere is perfect to watch games at, decompress after work with coworkers/friends, or a nice casual dinner night with the fam. There is a variety of seating throughout the restaurant.

Yet, women being women catching up we had to keep saying give us a few mins. Haha! We appreciated his diligence in trying to serve us and getting food into our bellies. I ordered the Haus Fries which the cheese oddly reminded me of In N Out's animal style fries sauce (HUGE FAN btw). Fries were meh and I had to ask for extra cheese. The taste I couldn't get over so next time I'd opt for something else, this is just me. I only want that taste from In N Out. My friend ordered the Haus Burger. Super juicy and my kind of meal. Highly recommend it!
