Backyard BBQ — Restaurant in Harlingen

Wow. The food here was amazing as was the service. When our party of 7 arrived, we were advised that they were out of chicken, rice and macaroni.

A little bummed but we decided to stay and oh my gosh, what a great decision. The meats were smoky and had an amazing flavor to them. I ordered the brisket, sausage and ribs.

Everything was SO good!!

I had my brisket sliced and it was soooo yummy and moist. The bbq sauce that was at the table is a tangy vinegar-y blend that had a nice flavor to it. The potato salad was excellent, the sausage had a great seasoning and flavor to it. My onion rings were breaded, crispy and crunchy.

My son ordered the Backyard Fries and my mom has the Backyard Nachos. Both looked good and we're a good size portion wise.

I wanted to try the banana pudding, but they were out of that too but again, the flavor of the food more than made up for it.

The service was excellent and our server made sure to check on us during our meal. She made sure our drinks were filled and was very pleasant.

I can't wait to get back to eat here again. It was absolutely delicious and totally hit the spot. So glad I found this...

We just recently noticed it, as we pass by every morning on our way to Gutierrez and decided to try it out. It's a nice little spot, the staff is amazing and super nice. The place itself is spacious and clean. We decided to try the brisket, macaroni and the cheese dip. We usually order 1/2 lb of brisket lean, so we did the same here...I was really surprised at how small the portion was when it was brought out. So we said ok maybe it's just really really tasty. I have tasted brisket in a lot of different places and I have to say I was really disappointed with the taste on this one. It wasn't completely Terrible but it does lack that smokey flavor Texas Brisket is know for, it tasted more like baked brisket to be honest. The macaroni was pretty good. I don't recommend the cheese and dip, nothing really special it tastes like the the rico's nacho cheese but watered down. I am sadden to say this place was a miss, but the...

It's a little hidden gem. Firstly, the prices are competitive for a decent BBQ. I've tried many, and it is refreshing to get five entrees for the price we paid. Also, if you're worried about the taste, it depends on the cuts you get. If you want moist, ask. The flavor and tenderness were all wonderful. However, we did go around lunchtime as soon as they opened.

We ordered: BBQ Nachos- Great, cheese needs more cheddar flavor, but good. BBQ Fries- I loved them. Delicious. BBQ spud- The Mac gave it a different take. 3 Meats Sampler- Meat was tender BBQ tacos- Please consider adding Pico or chimichurri as options ;)

Rice and beans need improvements

Total rounded: $60, Overall, we were pleased with the amount of food. Three people feasted,...
