The Backyard

RIPPED OFF! Went here for lunch and paid $100 for what?! When we walked in, we were asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside. We chose outside, but nobody told us we had to go to a walk up window to order, so we sat there at an outside table waiting for about 30 minutes trying to entertain 3 hungry children. Finally figured it out! Great! There are no combos. You are charged separately for EVERYTHING! $16.50 for the sandwich. $5 for a side, which was trash. The potato salad was more like loaded mashed potatoes. $3.50-$5 for a small drink or a bottle Coke. The kids meal really pissed me off because where do you get off on charging $13 for a kids meal (we got 3) to give a kid 7 French fries and a dippin sauce size container of cantaloupe?! All 3 kids meals had to come with boxes of juice. Theres no other option. The brisket sandwich was good, but not good enough to warrant ever coming back. This is the first place in New Orleans that I have ever had this type of complaint. Shameful.

Set at the bar. The bartender Eric was great. He went over the menu and answered any questions we had. Restarted with the wings. They are smoked and then flashed fried. What great appetizers. The drinks were on point also. We got the Rack of Ribs and the Brisket sandwich with coleslaw. Went home with leftovers. What great time we will be back.

A hidden gem with flavor, fire, and fine bourbon The Backyard in New Orleans delivered big on bold flavors and smooth sips. We kicked things off with their hot wings, and they were absolutely amazing—crispy, perfectly sauced, and packed with heat that didn’t overpower the flavor. What really made the night, though, were the pours of their hand-selected wheated bourbon. Smooth, rich, and clearly chosen with care—this wasn’t your average bar pick. You can tell they know their whiskey here. Great vibes, welcoming staff, and a solid whiskey list. Whether you’re after wings, bourbon, or both, The Backyard knows how to treat you right.

Not delicious...Edible though. With growing boys that devour everything in the house, plates were sent back with half the food on the. The adult beverages were good, but were served in a tea cup. The outside area is now a defunct storage area with some dirty picnic tables. The company representative at the cash register probably has to remove several pieces of facial jewelry in order to get through the metal detector at the airport, just saying (boh jobs for people exist). Entertaining more than anything, but to each his own. Four people, one set of silverware delivered. Asked for more...one more set delivered. Service was poor all around. If they had servers that made tips, it would probably improve, but they have to fix the food first. Then get rid of the storage junk outside if you're going to let people sit next to it.

This place was super cute, had fantastic service, and really good food! I got the Zeus for myself, the pimento dip, and deviled eggs for the table. I was able to try the brisket sandwich and boom burger, which were both delicious.

Great food! Awesome service! Superb atmosphere! Have had the brisket sandwich (pictured), the pulled-pork sandwich and the hamburger so far. All of them outstanding!

First visit here, but won’t be the last. Service was A++, food was on point and a great selection of bourbon and whiskey and a carefully curated tap list of local craft beer. Don’t miss the brisket sandwich, ask for a mix of lean and fatty brisket. Sauce in a cup on the side so I dipped mine, made it a little less messy. And some of the best brisket you’ll ever eat. Need to return for one of the several tasty sounding burger options. Thanks Jason and staff for a great lunch!

Great place for an amazing burger! Flavorful and juicy, tots were perfect too. Staff goes above and beyond and the prices are more than fair. Don't miss out on Happy Hour!

Best Brisket I've ever had! The ribs are not in the menu but ask for them you will not be disappointed

Should've trusted our instincts (and the parking lot). My best friend and I were visiting New Orleans and looking for a casual sit-down dinner that didn't require navigating the French Quarter or negotiating with a prix-fixe seafood tasting menu. She's Team Shellfish, I'm Team Absolutely Not, and The Backyard seemed like a happy medium: diverse menu, chill vibes, close drive from our Airbnb. What could go wrong? Spoiler alert: A lot. It started in the parking lot, or rather, the lack of one. After circling for a bit, we found a spot across the street--only to be summoned back by a security guard letting us know that lot belonged to a different restaurant. (Maybe slap a sign up, y'all?) He was kind enough to let us park on the street and even offered to keep an eye on our car. Honestly, he gets five stars. He's not the problem. We walked into The Backyard and were immediately steered toward the bar or outside seating--which was weird because it's summer in NOLA and there were literally open tables in the dining room. We requested one of those two-tops and were seated. No menus arrived for a while, so we browsed Yelp pics and crossed our fingers. When our server did arrive, I asked if they had root beer on the fountain. She said yes. I got a bottle. Not a huge deal, but it was the first in a line of small missteps. Then came the mysterious cheese conversation. We were told there was only one slice of provolone left--which would've been super relevant if either of us had ordered cheese. (We didn't. We ordered Sloppy Joes.) Our server apologized and took that conversation to a table that had actually ordered cheese. The food finally came out (pretty mid, nothing memorable), and then--after we started eating--our appetizer showed up. Bold move. And then... it rained. Indoors. On us. Drips started falling from the ceiling--right over our table--from an exposed pipe and vent. My friend got hit on the shoulder, then her food. That was it. The final soggy straw. We didn't cause a scene. But we did mention it to our server, who told us, "There's nothing we can do, but if you want to move to another table, you can. It's only condensation." (ONLY condensation? From a dirty pipe? On our food? C'mon, Tina. You can do better than that!) My friend asked for a refill, and five minutes later our server walked by with a tray for another table and told her, "that's right - you wanted another beer!" We reminded her it was a Diet Coke. She returned with the beer (yes, you read that right) five minutes after that, and then finally a Diet Coke another couple of minutes later. Shortly after that, we received a check. Not ours, but what did we expect? We got the check with the beers on it. We were able to call our server over and alert her to (ANOTHER) error, and she finally brought ours out. (It was more than the first one; we should have paid the front check!) We paid. We left. And now we review. Two stars because the root beer in the bottle was pretty good and the sandwich (pre-drip) was not bad. Also, the security guard who didn't even belong to them was delightful. I don't want to be completely heartless. But would we go back? Not unless the air conditioning unit makes a public apology.

I came here after work, I understand they are busy and packed ! VERY UNDERSTANDABLE, but what did it for me is that I ordered at 5:49 pm. Over 20 people placed an order AFTER ME. Guess who received their orders before me ? Those 20 plus people !!!! The two waitress walked pass me several times, I went to the to go window where I placed my order. No one saw what I needed for over 5-10 minutes of me standing there, the boy looked at me and did not ask if there was anything I needed and the girl grabbed menus for others who again came after me rather than asking if there was anything I needed. After a few more minutes passed by, she finally came and asked "you're still waiting on the order". Yes! I indeed still was waiting on my order, she said it was 3 more minutes on tots. I SAW HER AND THE BOY BRING SEVERAL PLATES OF TOTS, FRIES, AND OTHER MEALS OUT ! What did it for me was the boy took the next persons order after ignoring me at the window. That's where the line was drawn!! I requested a refund after this. I was here until 6:29 pm, waiting on "tots" the same tots others ordered AFTER ME! They are now on my never return list and I absolutely loved it here before today ! But I don't recommend this place to anyone from here on out

Was craving a burger, stumbled across this place. Great service and food. I got the burger and the other ppl in my group ordered the boom burger. We got a side of tator tots, fries and potato salad. The burgers were big and delicious, so were the fries and tots. Potato salad was missing flavor, not sure if that's a normal for them or perhaps just personal preference. But a no for me. We also did half and half tea, so good. Our server Vergos was great!

Did not look like your regular bbq joint. Reminded me a chain restaurant from the outside but inside was really nice and inviting. Very casual atmosphere. The menu is limited but when we asked they had ribs. So we ordered half a rack of ribs, a pulls pork sandwich with fries and a brisket sandwich. The ribs were very tender, as was the brisket. Both had a great smoke flavor which didn't require any sauce. The pulled pork was piled high and also had great flavor. The fries were the basic crinkle cut...nothing special about them. Only problem I had was the sauces. They were vinegar based and too strong. The meat was good enough to not need any sauce. Service was nice. It wasn't packed but once it got full, we still received the same service as when we were the only table in there.

I come here often and the service is nice but today is my last time coming here. I always get "the burger". Well today, I called in my order and forgot to add cheese on my burger. I called back ten minutes later and said "I forgot to add cheese on my burger, can I add American cheese" the man who answered said yes that's fine. So when I actually went to pick up my order, the guy hands me my food (after handing him my card) and says "they couldn't add the cheese cause your order was done already ". I honestly thought he was joking. I said "are you serious " and he replied , "yes". So I asked for the cheese on the side and I'll add it myself. He smugly replied "ok" as if I was inconveniencing him. When he came back to hand me the cheese I asked him why couldn't "cheese be added in my burger, it's just a burger" he replied , "well people usually say cheese burger". I told him I order here often & this ONE time I forgot but I still don't understand why he the kitchen couldn't just plop the slice of cheese on the burger ???

It is National Burger Day so I decided to try a new one. It did not disappoint. Juicy, high quality smashed beef patties loaded with cheddar and grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Perfectly seasoned and superbly cooked. I will be back! The menu has lots of tasty options of other sandwiches and such too. I also experienced excellent service from a great bartender, who made a delicious Bloody Mary.

Updated review: This is no longer an order at the counter and find your own seat kind of place. No more rustic wooden tables and benches. You sit at a fancy table, and there is wait staff. Prices are still reasonable. I got the hot dog and tots to eat there and a hot dog with deviled eggs to go. Everything was good.

It was ok... the food was good but just didn't feel the atmosphere and didn't really want to have to get my own food. Would have liked more interaction from staff/servers. It may have just been an off day but probably won't try again.

We're moving to Lakeview soon and wanted to give this cute little neighborhood joint a try, especially since we had our grandson with us and he can play in the backyard without bothering other customers. The backyard is a counter service place where you walk up and place your order and pay and someone brings your food to the table. After you're done eating, you clean up yourself and place the baskets on top of the trashcan. The service was extremely friendly, and I like the backyard area with picnic tables and fans and room for kids to move around and play. I was disappointed that there is no longer a kids playground area, which is part of the reason why I decided to stop at there. Everyone really enjoyed their food thought my Greek salad with grilled chicken was just ok. The biggest BUT in this review, is that there is just no getting around how insanely expensive this place is. We had four adults and a child, and none of us got any type of drink other than water except for one Coke, and our total with tax and tip was $125 , you read that right. $125 for a family of four with a kid to eat out hamburgers, sandwiches, and hotdogs for $125. Here's what we had for $125... Mushroom burger Brisket sandwich add bacon Turkey sandwich Greek salad with grilled chicken Crinkle fries side order Coleslaw side order Tater tots side order ($5 for EIGHT tater tots) Add onions and jalapeños to tots Kids hog dog meal Coke The biggest shocker was the pre made Greek salad in a plastic takeaway container with about an ounce of dry chicken...$18!!!!!! I'm just so over eating out. To note: I did notice that they have some great happy hour pricing. I could see returning for that.

The Backyard has one of the best smash burgers in the city. Juicy patties, homemade pickles and tater tots! What's not to love! AND there is much more on the menu to explore. Nice outdoor seating, and the weather is perfect right now. Stop on by...

We ate at the bar and ordered a brisket sandwich, a vodka martini, and a beer. That martini was not drinkable. The brisket was slightly dry and the pickles/onion combo was really strange tasting. We ate most of the sandwich but wouldn't come back for a second try. Probably is a great place to watch sports and hangout with friends, there are tv's all around.

An outstanding smoked tuna spread for an appetizer, generous portions on sweet potato fries (served hot!), and the burgers were primo. One of us got a salad with shrimp and he raved about its crispness ! One of us got ribs and he also raved...they looked awesome! Service was attentive but not hovering. We are a group of 8 veterans who lunch monthly and we decided to repeat this place!!!

This is our go to stop on a week night when no one wants to cook. We usually call ahead and pick. The staff is always polite, the order is always accurate and the food is great! The inside looks great since the remodel and when dining in the service is always wonderful as well.

This place is really cute, service was meh, we popped in for lunch one day just to check out their burgers. The burgers were ok. All and all the place is cute, price is reasonable, foods ok, and so is the service. *I ordered the burger and my friend got the boom burger. Mine was ok, she didn't like hers. We also got the smoked Turkey wings those were really good.

BBQ is outstanding. Service is good as well. Crinkle cut fries are the bomb! I have this on my go to list

This place has a good setting and I really enjoyed the food. I chose to sit at the bar which is rare for me but it was after lunch and they looked like most of the cleaning was complete and the bar was convenient. Anyway it worked out because the bartender was attentive to the 4 customers and myself. I they have both sweet and unsweetened tea., which is becoming rarer. Anyway the bartender recommended the Brisket sandwich and I enjoyed the sandwich. It was the perfect size with ample brisket. You can choose the cut of the brisket, fatty, lean, or mixed. I went with mixed and it was just right. The sauce is warmed on the side and is paired well with the brisket not overpowering but enhances. Unfortunately typical of most bar/burger joints they have limited "healthy" sides, so I just had the sandwich. But I would recommend here and if I was closer I would be here more often to try the other sandwiches on the menu. P.S. there were three pickles I ate one to see if they're sweet or dill. Dill.

Food is actually good, service is also good. The issue is the tax they charge is incorrect. 10.75% when it should be 10% State tax 5% City Tax 2.5% Parish tax 2.5% Total tax 10% Here is what the tax website say the overall tax is suppose to be. Orleans Parish: Parishwide - 10.00%

I want to like The Backyard, but it has been disappointing every time I've gone. My family used to go, in part, because of the playground for the kids. Now, The Backyard has replaced the playground with tables they don't need. I hate to say it, but the food is overpriced and bland. The brisket was dry, and the slaw wasn't flavorful. I used to get past this because of the kid-friendly environment. Now, not so much. I would not recommend this establishment, and we will not return.

Uninspired decor. Has this big half wall breaking the dinning area from the bar but it just takes up space in an already small space. boring playlist, don't like lame jam bands?Only ever sports on the TVs with no sound or subtitles. Average food. Great Happy Hour! Cheap prices on beer. The beer and bourbon selection are the only reasons to go.

Don't go to their happy hour! It's the best in Lakeview but I don't want anyone stealing my seat at the bar! Ha! Eric is a fun bartender who can make a killer old fashioned. Staff is all attentive and friendly. The food is great and consistent quality. LOVE the post renovation vibe inside and out.

I went in to order takeout at the bar. It's a small but cute little place. I ordered a Brisket sandwich, crinkle fries, and a sprite and paid about $25. It was hot when they bought it and it took about 15 minutes or so. Overall the brisket sandwhich was well good and tasty! Crinkle fries were good too but nothing to brag about. There's also a little outside sitting area. Only thing is parking was scarce, people were in cars waiting on others to come out so they could park. I'd definitely go back though.

Not bad.. the food was good, the service was fine and the ambiance was relaxed. I have no complaints.. i do wish there was a better variety of sides. You can choose from 3 types of potatoes and coleslaw. Pull pork was just okay, brisket was good, but the star of the show was the smoked wings and the sauce it's covered in...

The food was great! Everything tasted nice, and the service was splendid! The waitress was nice and patient. Although I was not a fan of the tea, the ambience was kind of loud if there were a lot of people, but most of the time, no one is talking.

Burger was bomb and speedy service. Fries were okay but I'm a little picky haha. Overall a nice atmosphere!

Ordered the pork BbQ sandwich as the adds are "Best BBQ". Tasted awful and the vinegary sauce on the side didn't make it any better. Ambiance is good but is misleading by calling it a BBQ place. More like a burger and bar grill

I have not been there for a while but I really craved brisket. Apparently they sliced it and then warmed it up on the flattop. It was dry as dust and I was really disappointed. I didn't send it back but I don't think I will go back again.

My first time here and it was great! We were seated at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and attentive. We came on Sunday evening to grab a bite since we were in the Lakeview area. The deviled eggs. No words. I'm not 100% a fan of muffulettas but they might've converted me. The salami on top was so crispy I would definitely get those again. I got the hot sausage on bun with some other fixings on it and it was so good I finished the whole thing. We let the bartender make our drinks based on what we liked and he did a great job (I love spicy margs it's like he read my mind). Would love to come back during the day to see the back patio

I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was delicious! The bartender is always so charming and says "love" as in what will you be ordering "my love". He makes me feel special! Quiet , nice ambiance. I will be back!

I didn't really hear about this place or know anything about it, but I was looking for an outdoor venue with fairly decent food and a chance to watch some pre-season football. Turns out, this place popped right up on my search and filled in the parameters that I was looking for. There are indoor seats, but the outdoors really looks more like a backyard. Picnic-style tables, a little bit of a play area, and TVs under the overhangs so that you can enjoy whatever is being shown. It's dog friendly, which is great, and you can just walk up to the outside counter and order whatever food or beverages fit your mood. Tried a little bit of everything while there -- the muffuletta deviled eggs, the pimento cheese, the brisket, the burger, the tots... there were only two of us, but it was hard to decide what to really eat when everything sounded so good. The only one that was kind of meh was the burger, of all things, but we had so much food that it didn't even matter at that point. Overall, it's a solid experience, especially with a game on the TV and a pup at your feet.

My family and I have always eaten here. We've been coming here for years because we love the food, the service, and the feeling. They've just redone the restaurant and it's iffy now. The inside was redone so it feels fancier- a vibe we've never gotten from there. The food is kinda just fine now, as opposed to a year or two ago when it was out of this world. Overall, it's fine now. The chicken sandwich is pretty good.

This is an old favorite of ours. We happen to be in the area so we decided to stop in for lunch. As usual, it was super good. Both of us had the brisket sandwich and it was yummy as ever. I love the pickle chips. We had a couple of cocktails that the server recommended and of course they were great. Wish I could remember the name of them. There isn't a lot of indoor seating and it's pretty cramped. Good family place.

Lots of space outside but does have indoor seating if you prefer the food was amazing

Great service and excellent food! We went in at about 9:30 and our waitress was very kind and attentive. We decided to order the burger, and split it because we were not too hungry and they split it for us and brought it out on two plates with sweet potato fries. It was wonderful and the burger was great! The atmosphere is wonderful as well. Great date night spot

I met up with a group of friends here one Saturday afternoon. I easily found parking in the off street lot but it looked like if the lot was full that plenty of street parking was available as well. There is very limited seating inside and at the bar, but since it was a nice day we opted to sit outside. The "backyard" is a dirt/gravel yard stocked with picnic tables and umbrellas. I myself do not like bench seating or dirt/gravel grounds when I have sandals on so we opted to sit at the high top bar on the covered porch instead. Also not a fan of bar chairs with no backs for support, but I made do. All of your food/beverage ordering is done at the outside window and then someone brings it out to you. They don't give you a table/order marker or anything like that- just walk outside and start calling your name which to me is a bit unorganized but I suppose for the casual vibe of the place it was ok. I ordered the muffuletta deviled eggs and a margarita. The deviled eggs came out before the margarita did. I asked the server who brought them out if he could bring me some share plates and he informed me they don't have that. So everyone would literally have to either pick out the food baskets or you could lay down multiple napkins and put your nibbles on like that. Again, not really my vibe but whatever; we made do. We basically all ordered stuff to share. After my margarita I switched to Catahoula Common. Now, I will say I'm normally an Abita Strawberry girl but I actually liked the Catahoula Common better- I thought it was lighter and more berry-forward, so I was glad to try something new here that I enjoyed beer-wise. Food was good. Nothing stood out as mind-blowing enough to crave again but it wasn't bad. A little salt and pepper was needed on just about everything we ordered but again, food was decent enough. Service was good. Like I mentioned you order at a window and servers bring your food and drink out to you. Nothing was above-and-beyond but everyone was friendly. Food came out pretty quickly. Bathrooms were clean as was the inside of the restaurant. I should have checked my check before I closed out. I thought my total was off after thinking about it when I got home. It was only then I noticed I was charged for 2 soft drinks I never ordered. So that was an extra $6 that should not have been on my check. Totally on me for not checking my receipt but definitely something people should be mindful of if you go here. My check for the deviled eggs, 3 Catahoulas, and 2 soft drinks (that I didn't order) was $34; I left a $10 cash tip because we stayed from noon til 6:30. Not sure if I'd make a beeline to stop here again but I suppose if I were to pop in casually to have a beer or two with friends it'd be ok. If I were to come back again I'd try one of the sandwiches they are more known for.

Not impressed with the vegetarian options. The "beet" burger fell apart and had a strong vinegar taste. I tasted like they used pickled beets to make them. The burger was ok, but nothing to rave about. Standard. Service was good. Ambiance was great- casual. Loved the look inside. Ordered: Veggie Burger Boom Burger Beer Tea

I do like The Backyard a lot. It's changed a lot too and for the better with great improvements inside and a really nice outdoor seating. I'm mainly there for the food and it's genuinely one of the most / more affordable places where the consistent quality in the food keeps me going back. I've tried a lot from the menu and never a letdown but the BBQ when available on the weekends mainly is absolutely on the better side compared to the more "specific" dedicated BBQ places. The ribs are I bit more pricey not by much but the quality and smoke in it is way better. Although be warned it does not include sides. However, a lot of food and more of a portion than LITERALLY any BBQ spot in town. The brisket is fantastic as is the sloppy Joe's which is made up of the chopped up brisket too. Sides are all good. Hamburgers very reasonable in price and big. Other foods all good value. Well worth the drive to get here.

First time here. The inside is a lot smaller than I expected but there are lots of seating available outside. No more play area outside for the kids to occupy themselves with. Service was fine. Nothing notable but our server was polite and timely. Started off with a frozen pineapple marg. The margarita was really sour. Like really sour for my tastes...not sure if they used too much sour mix. Next, I had the pimento cheese with house made chips. This sounded really good and looked really appetizing but the whole dish was lack luster. The pimento cheese was basically a ball of cheddar jack cheese. No pimentos or bacon, as advertised and the chips were stale, limpy, and greasy. Not a fan. I got the wings as my entree. The wings where delicious BUT the Crystal sauce was way too strong. Vinegar in the sauce was over powering the wings.. would be better on the side or just ordered plain. Also got the burger, added cheese and bacon. Solid burger and tots for around $16-17.Can't remember. Overall, it's an OK place but not worth going back for a second time.

Food is good but very expensive from a price perceived value point. $13for a small double patty smashburger (2 1/3rd ounce patties) think mcdonalds happy meal size . $5 for an order of 8 tater tots and $3 for a diet coke. Over $20 plus tip to walk up and order my food at window ?? ! I could go to the four seasons and order their burger (which is larger plus fries) and soda for less and have good service. Kids meals only come with a tiny motts apple juice ? Not allowed to obtain a fountain drink? It would be cheaper for the restaurant to not order motts apple and just offer a cup for children. Place is clearly trying to change directions and is not family friendly and kids meals are a joke. For a family Of 6 I spent over $120 chicken tenders , french fries and tiny burgers. The customer service is pretty Much non-existent and you feel like you're doing them a favor being there. Ill give the restaurant another shot when it closes and transitions to a different restaurant.

Great service good for families and friends. Nice bar selection. Love the backyard atmosphere

We have been here a few times. The burgers are amazing and the service has always been excellent. Someone usually greets you as you walk in. They have outdoor and indoor seating available, you can sit where every you like. My spouses is a vegetarian and loves their veggie burger. Today I had the brisket burger and it was so good. Normally, I have the regular burger with cheese and that's pretty awesome as well. Also, food comes out in a timely manner. Overall, great food and service.

Very yummy. I've had most of their burgers by now and I've been impressed with each of them. Oddly, the salmon dip was absolutely amazing. Way better than I expected it to be.

Nice lunch spot for a good sandwich. Very casual feel and friendly staff. I had the Zeus chicken sandwich with olives on the side. Chicken breast was seasoned ok and was a tad dry. Service was a little but it wasn't bad. Reasonable prices.

The bbq sandwich's and burgers are pretty good however I think the prices were a little more expensive than what I expected. For instance a bbq chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries cost $24 with tax and tip, to me that seems high for a chicken breast and fries with water as my only drink.

The food was good and not overly sweet like most places locally. The liquor selection was amazing and at a great price. The staff was very helpful and friendly.

Great service and the food is always amazing ! I love the grilled cheese Try the brisket sandwich get the meat half & half The fries are perfect The ribs ( when they have em) ARE THE BOMB My husband says the sloppy joe is to die for & the tater tots as well

Owner Jason Tournillon has created a perfect spot at The Backyard, a place that truly does live up to its name with a big backyard area that's perfect for drinking beer and relaxing on a nice day. As far as the food goes, The Backyard keeps it simple with that summer barbecue vibe. You'll find sandwiches like brisket, pulled pork, turkey, chicken and sausage, as well as a burger and hot dog on the menu. Sides are simple but classic with fries, tater tots, potato salad and slaw. While most barbecue places have a platter option, The Backyard is all about the sandwiches. I went with the pulled pork sandwich ($10), which comes topped with The Backyard's chimmi-slaw. I like to get two sides in these situations, so I opted for the tater tots ($3) and the Muffuletta Deviled Eggs ($6), which are technically an appetizer but I wanted to mix it up. The sandwich was great and The Backyard's famed "not sweet" BBQ sauce was a perfect touch. The portion of pork was generous and the slaw did a good job of adding a crisp bite to the sandwich. The deviled eggs were so unique! Made with olive salad and topped with crisp genoa salami, I think this is a "must try" appetizer. This place was made for summer. Who wouldn't want to munch down on a tasty sandwich while enjoying a beer in someone else's backyard? Let the folks here handle the grill, you just relax. I made a list of best hidden BBQ for Very Local New Orleans and this l restaurant was on it! Read it here:https://nola.verylocal.com/bbq-new-orleans/228292/

I came here for the first time today and the girl taking orders at the counter highly recommended a brisket sandwich so that's what I got. Also ordered a side of tots on the side. Food: brisket sandwich was good, but a little on the dry side. Tator tots were the perfect amount of crispy. My boyfriend had the deviled eggs and didn't really like them. Generous food portions. Price: a little on the pricey side for what you're getting. Brisket sandwich with tots came out to around $16. Service: The employees working here are all so friendly! Super helpful and everyone likes to make conversation. Food came out surprisingly fast. Location: good amount of tables inside. Some seating outside as well. Small parking spaces in the front. Order at the counter and they bring your food to the table Overall I would recommend this spot if you're craving a good burger/sandwich.

Service is SLOW! We had to wait for everything. To take our order, to ask for salt and pepper, and for the check.
