The Backyard — Restaurant in Richmond

No food, super windy, just SAD FACE all around. We turned up on a Sunday afternoon at 4pm and they had run out of food. They close at 8pm. We didn't bother staying as it was super windy, there was no shelter from it, and we were really hungry, so beers alone wouldn't do. Everyone else in line ahead of us - maybe 3 parties - did the same.

Will have to go back someday and give it another shot as the actual outdoor space looked super inviting and fun and does give off a great, relaxing vibe. It just happened that everyone's timing was off on that one day and we walked away really bummed. Not sure how you run out of food with 4 hours of operation left, but will go back someday and hope we get in earlier.

*Owner's reply was nice to hear - sounds like they have the kind of problem that is good to have -- too many customers! See you all soon...

Ordered the backyard bratwurst sandwich, and the mustard that it comes with was overpowering. Taste like a mustard sandwich. That's why I gave 3 stars. Trying to get to fancy on a bratwurst never works. But what do I know about taste, I'm from Indiana, and all we need to put on a good bratwurst is raw onions and ketchup, and we are set. Didn't like the pickle onions either. Keeping it simple would have been better for me. And it cost $20.00 with 10 percent tip. I would recommend this place to anyone, but today it wasn't for me. I'll be back to try something different in the near further. So, with that said, I hope everyone will come down here to support this place. Good music friendly...

Food was pretty good A little pricy though but I guess inflation. Only reason I mention it is because the place looks ran down and neglected. It could use a little love and a re vamp.

Like invest or have a little more pride in your establishment. Kids area is blan and old. Landscaping could use attention. Napkins and utensils lying all over the ground.

Just the simple little things that would make it feel cared for. But over all the fact It is dog friendly is a plus.

Service was great as well. Went on a slow end of day so maybe I didn’t get the full experience. But Forty dollars for a burger , fries and a beer with a pup patty is a little...
