We went for lunch, we wanted something small, so we got buffalo chicken tater tots, fried Brussels, and carne asada tacos. They were mad good, the waitress was checking in on us time to time, she was awesome! The atmosphere gives like those middle of no where awesome karaoke bar vibes like in that movie with Katherine Heigl in 28 dresses with James Marsden. I love it, it's the vibez.vibe. We spent around $50 not including tip. The food was a lot for 2 people who weren't hungry. Also they're literally in the backyard.

Admittedly it was winter break for New England schools so the bar was a lot busier than usual and they had one bartender down. Even so, they did their best and were super friendly, so delays and so on were understandable. So - good selection of draft beers and cans, full bar, and the food was on point. Kid friendly, and the place cleared out by 830, so if you don't want to wait, that would be your time. Overall, worth going to.

Tldr: Slow service and under-seasoned food I really wanted to like it, but I found Backyard mediocre for the 40 minutes we waited to get in on a Saturday night (the wait was not the problem. I expect a decent wait during ski season). The Atmosphere I'll start with the good and shout out the vibe! Nice music and well furnished interior. +1 star for great atmosphere. The Service I try not to be too harsh on service in a review because you never know when a place is having an off night, but speaking to my experience, the service was slow and didn't improve as the restaurant started to empty out later in the night. Everyone was kind and the hostess was attentive, but it was fairly difficult to flag down the wait staff and our waters were only refilled once during our meal. This isn't a major complaint, but it's something that I care about in a dining experience. I just spent two days on the slopes, I'm thirsty, and I'm not the only one. The Food I had the buffalo chicken tots and tried two of the burgers (I forget which two). The tots were decent. Really nice crispy chicken on top but the tots themselves kind of just steamed on the plate beneath and fell apart to mush. Not much flavor on the plate once the chicken got picked off. I think this would've been a pretty nice appetizer plate if they'd given us a side of blue cheese or ranch or ketchup to dip the tots in. The burgers were my big disappointment of the night. They label them as smash burgers and will tell you this if you try to order yours cooked medium, but the patties were too thick and we found that they were cooked inconsistently across my table. Mine had a bit of pink in the middle (which I like), while my friend's was grey throughout and leathery. A true thin smash burger patty would've been better in either case. My biggest problem with Backyard's burgers is that they didn't salt them. You HAVE to salt a burger patty or the meat is going to taste like nothing. This was a huge letdown from a restaurant that prides itself on its burgers and looking at some of the other critical reviews here I don't think this was a one-off occurrence. Some of the burgers like the mushroom Swiss on paper have great ingredient combos, but they fail to stick the landing because Backyard doesn't season their food. More of a subjective gripe, but your burger by default will come with house potato chips. They're not bad chips once you salt them yourself, but Backyard doesn't offer french fries. Your alternatives are sweet potato fries (not my jam, personally), tater tots that weren't great, or a salad. Every side substitution costs extra and it should be obvious that the majority of people won't prefer chips as a side. From the multiple that I tried, my favorite side substitution is a Caesar salad that costs an extra $5. I know I probably seen like I'm in negative reviewer mode at this point but paying an extra $5 for a decent side after paying the $16 base menu cost for a mediocre burger didn't sit well with me. Chances are you're not overly concerned with dollar value when you're already spending hundreds on a ski weekend in the area, but this was just another aspect of the dining experience that I found myself disappointed by. I only visited for a weekend so I can't comment on how Backyard stacks up with other restaurants in the area, but I can't recommend it. My whole party of 7 agreed that you'd get a better burger from shake shack, five guys, or tasty burger. I'd even prefer one from McDonald's or Wendy's.

This place is exceedingly well run and has some serious cooking chops in the kitchen. Elevated bar food at its best - highly recommend. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
