“Knocked it out of the park. Really chill back yard vibes but cute tables— picnic and cafe style— so it doesn't feel like you're paying money to go to someone's cookout. Had maybe a couple dozen local beers lined up on the bar — order food and beer at the bar but they delivered it to our table. Both got the standard Backyard burgers and split an order of tenders... I'm a culinary school grad but used to be a chef at a bar so I'm a snob for bar food and the chef absolutely killed it. Burgers were temped perfectly and had a great sear. I got med rare and my wife got med. Butter griddled buns and what I would assume are simple house made vinegar pickes. Hand cut fries were definitely made with the ideal blanch-cool-finish (or triple cooked?) The tenders were juicy and definitely brined, then dredged and finished with panko, and fried super crispy. They were dark— looked like they might have been over but they were bang-on. They seemed particularly proud of the white BBQ but honestly not a fan of white BBQ in general, so I didn't try it— wife said it was DELICIOUS. The honey Sriracha and buffalo were both solid. Couldn't be happier that I popped in.”
