Great vibe, delicious hamburger and fries, great non-alc drink selection - Looking forward to having a beer/michelada here with friends when the beer license is approved. So cool to sit outside under the umbrellas and see dogs, bikes, kids, all in a casual garden living room. Spilled something, dropped some ketchup? Who cares! read more

Fun space and so glad places like this are popping up in Richmond! Friendly comfy spot. Service ok. Food is nothing to write about. Needs to take some notes from Jonny Boi. Fries seem to be from frozen. . Will try again and update if I find something especially good because I love to support places like this when I can. read more

We arrived with 5 adults and 2 dogs. Outdoors was windy but pleasant in the sun. Staff were nice. My cheeseburger order came with fries and I always attempt to get them *specifically* 'extra, extra, extra crisp...AND THEY WERE! Just like I ordered them, which btw seldom happens! Golden brown and crisp and I ate all of them. I was so happy I insisted on tipping the cook $5. I used to get similar from Lucas in Oakland until their greedy landlord killed them off. Thanks to Backyard for a treat! read more

Such a fun place for the dogs! The backyard is our go to place! The vibes and food are top tier. The drinks are the extra cherry on top. I loved the mimosa pomegranate. Last I came, I had the Philly cheese steak, I loved the flavor and it was super big! Definitely great to share with a special someone/family. This time around, I had the new cheese fries. Caramelized onions were such a great surprise! Will definitely order again! Upon arrival, Emmett greeted us with blankets and a heater! It was truly great to see this staff really care and treat the customers right! Will be coming back, as always! read more

Looking to escape the Sacramento heat, my husband and I and our dogs came down to The Backyard to meet a friend on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. We loved all of the options for beers, and the fact that they serve food as well. They are dog friendly, and they provide plenty of outdoor games and activities. There were seating options with sun and shade. This place really had it all! I tried two of their sour beers, both of which were delicious. My husband opted for some of their darker options. For a bite to eat, I ended up trying their Philly cheesesteak while my husband got a burger. This place has a little bit of something for everyone. read more

Looked for a place to host 15/20 people on short notice for my wife's birthday. First place i emailed was the backyard. Welcoming my group with open arms they responded right away. Giving an option we chose the blue lounge area. Had plenty of sunshade and a nice view of the whole area. They had live Reggae so it was definitely a vibe.... Food was probably an 11 out of 10... with the extra point being how fast it comes out, especially with the crowd they had. All in all one review doesn't good justice on how much of a gem this place is... we ended up staying for 5 plus hours and we'll most likely be back real soon. read more

What a cute neighborhood hangout! There was live music when we went and it's a perfect place on a sunny day to sit and enjoy the weather and ambiance! There are nice comfy seating and great food from the food truck. We got the toasts and the Philly cheesesteaks and everything was great. They also serve beer, wine and a variety of non alcoholic beverages as well. Highly recommend to come check this place out! read more

The Backyard - Backyard Burger, fries, East Bro Gold IPA - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, California

Super cool spot. The burgers were super tasty. The acme bread and bun that they have here elevate the food. The margherita tartine really blew me away. I wasn't expecting it to be as delicious as it was. The goat cheese was super creamy, but the tomatoes and balsamic blew me away. They have so many options for beverages, and we almost opted for the mimosas, but since we were only making a quick stop, we opted for some ginger beer, Mexican coke and apple juice for the kids. Definitely need to come back here to just lounge and enjoy the spot. They had live music, super fun r&b throwbacks. Jazzy versions of Cisco's thong song had us vibing and laughing at the same time. They spelled out some of the lyrics to disguise some of the song for the kiddos. This place has such a great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back and bring friends / coworkers. read more

The Backyard - Live music! - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, California

What a wonderfully unexpected surprise in Point Richmond! We are back in the boatyard at KKMI and we're so glad to find a new option for outdoor dining. The Backyard sits behind Whale Point Ace Hardware, and is a little oasis in this mostly industrial area. One little food truck for ordering food and drinks, and another for preparing and serving food flank the entrance to a fun open space with fake grass, tables and stools, and a pergola for shade and/or shelter. There are outdoor games for kids, and the place is definitely dog friendly. The burgers are top notch, as was the chicken Philly. Their fries are generous portions. They carry a pretty good variety of beers, including NA options like Athletic IPA. We will definitely be back. read more

The Backyard is a chill little outdoor spot fairly close to Point Richmond. My mom and I finally had the chance to try it the other day an had an enjoyable meal :)! What we had: Philly Cheese Steak Side of fries We split the Philly Cheesesteak without the peppers. Asked for extra onions in place of the peppers (but it could have used a bit more). The flavor of the cheesesteak was yummy!! We want to go back to try the burger and breakfast! They have live music most Sundays And games to play (cornhole, foosball, and more) Pro tip- Turn onto third from cutting and park in the lot! read more

The whole atmosphere is great for family or even friends . As I sat there sun bathing for my order to be ready, I realized it would be a good place for a social event. I went on a Sunday around lunch time , so it was pretty busy. The food options are plentiful , and I must say the taste is immaculate. It is one of the best Philly cheese steaks I've had in awhile. They are not shy on the portions. The only downside was the wait for the food. Waited about 40 minutes , but regardless, it was great. Will be returning with friends and family. read more

Check this place out! Four stars from me for: Many positives: -HUGE outdoor area -Dog friendly and welcome with water bowls -Games (giant Jenga, cornhole, giant checkers, ping pong, and more) -vegan/veg options, including vegan creamer for the Peets coffee -lots of seating -limited menu but something for everyone It's a great place for kids! Please be aware they don't have high chairs yet (but they've only been open 3 weeks). Cons -Only one very clean porta potty (with hand washing station which I appreciated) -Google maps didn't know where the entrance is so we circled a bit. Note this is not the fault of the business. Enter on 3rd street/Cutting. read more

Found this place on a whim and I'm so glad that I did. It's a small, hidden gem in Richmond that reminded me of a cozy backyard. There's plenty of open seating and even a tv in the patio area to watch sports. I initially went for the breakfast sandwich but arrived a little after one and was told breakfast was over. But upon asking the cook, they told me yes it wasn't too busy so they'd make my sandwich. I ordered a bacon sandwich on a croissant and added avocado.. it was delicious!! There's a small stage set up and there was a nice band playing top 40s. Cool atmosphere and I love stumbling across chill places like this. Check it out! read more

Great spot near East 80 for burgers. Outdoor is protected from wind. Dogs are good there. Kid burgers welll received

LOVE THE BACKYARD! It's our favorite place. Delicious beers, yummy food, perfect atmosphere. My partner and I just celebrated our engagement there and the Backyard team was so helpful in making our day special! read more

Food is awesome family friendly atmosphere I loved it oh and also the SOS portable toilets was very clean it felt like luxury

I'm glad another good eatery has opened up in the area as there are not enough. The food here is high equality and reminds me a bit of the old Golden Gate Bistro before it changed hands. I've only tried one item so far, the BLT, and it was quite good; I look forward to trying more. As someone who frequently travels between Marina Bay and Pt. Richmond by bike or escooter, I'm sure I will be at The Backyard often read more

Great ambiance and food and drinks. Was there with family and there is plenty of room for big groups. read more

The Backyard - Garlic fries and cheesesteak were amazing! - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, California

From the outside, and the neighborhood, it might not look like much, but inside there's ample parking, a lovely "backyard" with lots of tables in different kinds of combinations for all kind of groups and a small but mighty menu. There's also love music, good drinks, and just a very nice vibe. Bathrooms are porta potties, but the nicer kind. Staff seem friendly, but there is no table service. read more

This neighborhood spot is tucked away near a railway line and hard to miss. They have a large outdoor seating space with an ordering window and self seating. A separate bar area serves breakfast cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. The menu is extensive from brunch favorites to lunch entrees. Everything we tried was delicious. Their coffees and drinks were also yummy. They have live music entertainment and the ambience was perfect for a nice brunch on the weekend. Parking was easy and available on the street adjoining the restaurant. read more

Such a fun experience today. Great music and food. Perfect for a sunny day. Definitely will be coming back soon :)

Go for the ambiance and the beer, but not the food. Lol. The burger was mediocre at best, but lacked flavor and was possibly boiled, and the fries were cold. But it's dog and kid friendly, and eating al fresco is fun. I'm not going back. read more

Second time here and I'm still a fan of this place. This time I had the BLT with fries and it was delicious. Staff was friendly and the outdoor setting is a nice vibe especially during the evening. read more

The backyard is great. Family friendly lots of places to sit lots of different little areas. super family friendly one thing in particular is that there's lots of play areas for children. They've got a pumpkin patch so we can take really cute pictures of the kids . They've got ping-pong tables they've got bags they've got TVs that got connect for all kinds of things for the family. I was really impressed by the portions of food got sandwich that was way more than I could eat and was absolutely delicious. Same for my wife got the brisket sandwich. That was really tasty.Philly Cheesesteak was amazing and HUGE. Love this place!!! read more

I love coming to The Backyard. The Marina Burger is my favorite and the Blood Orange Mimosas are delicious. The ambience there is always chill and I love how they have live music on the weekends. The owners and the employees are all so nice and friendly. This is definitely my go to spot in Richmond! read more

The Backyard business owners prepared a luncheon meeting for Woodiwiss Roofing & Painting Company located in Pleasant Hill.

What I experience they deserve & receive (5) Stars. Sharon :) read more

Nice outdoor space. There was a live band for free. Tasty drinks. Some games you are able to play with, shade and not shaded areas. Prices are fair. Haven't tried the food yet, but looking forward to it. read more

The Backyard - Lucid Illusion Hazy IPA - Wine Bars Near Me - Richmond, California

I was around the area just visiting to get away from the Sacramento for a bit (and the unbearable heat). I looked up some places to eat and I saw this place was opened on Sunday so I decided to check it out. I passed it at first because I missed the entrance. But I circled back and I saw that it's situated next to a railroad. The parking is gravel and I think shared with a warehouse nearby? Not sure. I came in on daytime but I highly suggest taking your valuables with you when you're parking here at night since I didn't see much lighting. I've ordered their signature Backyard burger and I was amazed at it's quality. I highly suggest getting it if this is your first time visiting. The place seems pet friendly as long your pets are friendly themselves. Check out this place if you just visited the marina nearby and looking for some place to eat and not hurt the wallet for a bit. read more

This was my first time eating at The Backyard and I have to say the food was delicious. The burgers are generous with all the good topping that one could want. I had a Marina Bay Burger which has goat cheese, avocado, grilled onions and bacon. I didn't take any pictures, but I will next time. The service was quick and friendly and the ambiance is...well... it's like eating in the backyard. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Our first time here and it won't be our last!! We had the Philly Cheese and enjoyed the seating under the blue sky! Dog friendly and such a great place to bring a group. Wishing these guys all the best! read more

If your driving through the area and need a place to stop for a quick bite and let your dogs take a break, this is a great place. The food is good, not a fantastic menu. Got the burrito, no hash browns sub fries; it was good but not amazing... was missing a sauce to bring it all together. Partner got the Santa Fe, it was a burger... beer on tap is great! Dogs enjoyed their time, if you have a fluffy dog watch out for the wood chips in certain areas... stuck to their fur. Lots of games to play and an enjoyable time. Great place to spend an afternoon at! read more

THE other BEST BLT I've ever had -- and the first Best BLT was in 1982 in the Kitsilano 'hood of Vancouver, B. C. at the now-long-defunct 4th Avenue Annie's! So it's fair to say that The Backyard's BLT IS just fantastic! Why "only" a 4 out of 5 stars? Only 5 restaurants workdwide (Barcelona, Porto, London, Santa Barbara, San Francisco) have ever deserved a 5 from me -- has to be better-than-Michelin quality. BUT, for an outdoor-only casual venue, The Backyard is a rare surprise: great ingredients, friendly service, fun D. J. playing an amazing variety of music at comfortable volume levels, cool landscaping in this surprisingly large breakfast-thru-late-lunch space, games for adults & kids (cornhole, badminton), and live music. Really a treasure and a wonderful addition to the East Bay. So, those 4 stars usually given only to dine-in, way-above-average restaurants go to . . .The Backyard! read more

Welllllllll....this was a swing and a miss for me. If you have kids and pets it still might work for you as there are activities. I was glad to see that adult beverages were now available but kinda confusing as there were no menus or prices so there's that. Had high hopes for the breakfast sandwich but they weren't available...thought they were supposed to be all day but no luck. Here's what we had instead. Cheesesteak 3/5 messy but hit the expected nostalgic flavor notes Fries 0/5 cold and unsalted Balsamic salad 2/5 overdressed and not much to it There was a band as well which gave a nice vibe but just didn't deliver overall read more

We had such a great time at The Backyard! We stopped in on our way to Keller Beach. We ordered the special sandwich of the day and it was absolutely delicious. The bread is out of this world. While we waited for our order we played ping pong. After we ate we played fooseball, jenga and connect 4. All the game equipment is out and available without having to check it out. I love this level of trust for the customer. That part made it really feel like someone's backyard. Can't wait to visit again! read more

First time at The Backyard and I'm so very happy! The space is sweet with plenty of outdoor seating. The burgers were awesome! Excellent quality meat and fresh bread roll. I also enjoyed the pile of pickled onions. My friend had a different burger that had a huge mound of grilled onions on it. Our daughter loved her egg sandwich and fries. Super nice staff! Met the owner who came around when the sun went down and delivered a portable heater and blankets. And for the adults they have a nice selection of alcoholic beverages. The games kept the little ones busy for ages -- ping pong, bocce, connect four, and other outdoor games. This is our new favorite family spot for good food and good fun! read more
