You probably have fond memories of barbecue parties and grilling in your backyard with friends. True American food comes from the backyard, and now, you can enjoy your favorite dishes at a new restaurant called Backyard! Located in east Dallas, just a quick trip from The Ashton, this enticing restaurant is the perfect casual hangout for friends.

Favorite Menu Items

On the menu at Backyard, you'll find a little of everything from barbecue to salads. Start off with a shareable snack, like the waffle fry poutine, topped with pork belly, black pepper, gravy, and cheese curds. The corn on the cob, topped with Cajun aioli and queso fresco, is another good choice. For a lighter meal, dine on a salad like the grilled chicken chop salad. It's drizzled with a lovely champagne vinegar dressing. Or, you can enjoy the hearty smoked brisket sandwich, slathered in a soy sauce and brown sugar glaze.

Backyard also offers enticing American desserts. The Smores pie, made with a graham cracker crust and toasted marshmallows is a delicious choice.

Visiting the Backyard

Eating is only half the fun at Backyard. You also get to play games while you wait for your meal! They have a giant Jenga game, corn hole, and even some chess sets for the nerdy ones in your crew. One of the great things about the games area is that you can meet new friends as you play -- a real asset to those who are new to the Dallas area.

Backyard also offers private bookings for events. If you're looking for a fun place to celebrate a graduation or birthday party, they're it.

You'll find Backyard at 503 N. Good Latimer Expressway. Visit between 3 pm and 2 pm on weekdays or from 11 am - 2 am on Saturdays and Sundays. Contact us if you're looking for a new home nearby.
