Lovely spot, cute decor, and the drinks are delicious 😋 The staff is really friendly ad welcoming too. The food was good. I attended the mimosafest with my girlfriends and we enjoyed it very much. Great for pics too. Location is great, several other stablishments within walking distance. You have to pay for parking by meter/hourly cost. Venue has cool art and photo backdrop... it's outdoors so it's hot but fans and tent all around. Nice big stage too with great music and DJ also.

There is a phase in life when you're too old to be out at 2 a.m. on most nights of the week, but too young to be in bed at 9. America's Backyard had a soft reopening to transition itself from a bar to an outdoor/indoor restaurant with live music several nights a week. On a Saturday night at 8:30, the band was happily playing covers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s--giving everyone something to rock out on and taking requests long before the end. The food is mostly pizza, but it's good pizza served up personal sized with over 24 varieties (we had the margherita pizza). I was not impressed by the craft beer variety, which could use sprucing up in a South Florida jam-packed with great microbrews (my server suggested Narragansett for lagers and said they had not one sour on tap, bottle, or can). Cocktails are served in plastic cups in this new Covid world and we were seated with a reservation (yes, you need one) on stage right next to the band. My Backyard Lemonade was strong, sour, and a perfect pairing with cheesy pizza. We had a great time and will be back. The Himmarshee District needs a place that's open to families of all types (we brought our 🐕). Indoor and outdoor seating available. All staff wore masks. Plenty of hand sanitizer throughout Backyard. 50% capacity. Management, service, and cleanliness were on point.

Took my sis and her bf here for lunch during a recent visit from NYC. it's definitely a vibe. there's plenty of seating although inside tables are small. the buffet brunch is fun and the offerings are satisfying. I've had better shrimp n grits, as they were undersalted and runny. I personally found the callilou to be oversalted. eating them together with the shrimp n grits balanced it out but you shouldn't have to do that. there's so much food that even if you skip an item not executed perfectly because they go through so much so fast, you still have plenty to choose from. like made to order waffles and omelets. the cheese board was good and the salad fresh. Fried chicken was decent. I would do this again but if you sit outside the music is so loud talking is a challenge. with bottomless mimosas as an option, you'll be too busy eating and drinking to talk. i found the service to be above average and everyone was friendly and accommodating. do note, when you make your Reservations, they ask you how many bottles you want. That is a tell and you should already know. Do go for a solidly boozy brunch and a good time overall. A Plus Recommends

I want to the BB brunch on Sunday. The food was great. The service was good. The music and vibes were on point. The parking is not great. They do have several parking lots but then you end up walking.

The atmosphere and the vibe here go unmatched. The friendly staff starts with the door staff and ends with the bartenders. Everyone there wants to make sure you have a good time.

You like dancing? They've got you covered with a DJ and a place to dance. Parry games? Yup that too with Jenga, beer pong, and corn hole. Want to just relax and enjoy the night and the vibe around you? DONE! Sit around the palm tree or any of the other tables.

My favorite part was hanging out at the bar with the bartenders! I was there celebrating my 40th birthday. There was 8 of us and the bartenders were amazing. Not only did they kill it with the drinks shots but they were so friendly.

Special shout-out to Sam and Dillan for making our drinks and making my night amazing. These two made me feel like I was literally at a backyard party and my friends were taking care of me getting my drinks. They had amazing attitudes and were so personable.

Thank you Backyard for an amazing night and to those reading this if you are thinking of going here.... Just go and have yourself a good night!!
