Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Backyard Gilbert offers a vibrant atmosphere with "great service" and an exciting spot for "watching sports" on "huge TVs." While the menu features good bar food like "spicy margs, spinach dip, and couscous salad," some guests find it "overpriced." The "live music" adds to the ambiance, though it can be "very loud."

    The food was horrible. Nachos were gross, cheesesteak sandwich was so bland, wings were ok, only thing that was good was the pretzel, but it was $12!! Definitely will not be back!

    Other than the salads the portions are so tiny. The potato skins were about the size of an egg……one and done for this place

We take all comments seriously and will share this with our management to ensure we're offering the best possible experience. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it right next time.

    Service was so slow. When food finally came it was very average. Guacamole was brown. Carne Asada was chewy. Salad was drenched in dressing. Drinks were not made as described. Overall disappointing. We had been before and had a better experience but this was not good

    Your food was absolutely horrible! Hire a new cook or change your menu. We won’t be back again. Not only did we not receive our food as ordered but it was above subpar and for what you charge I should have gone to our neighbor bar. While their food is mediocre it’s better than what you served tonight and drinks are cheaper.

    I want to extend my thanks and gratitude to the entire team yesterday at the Backyard! We were there for the OSU Championship game and our service was exceptional! Despite there being probably 200 people or more rushing in simultaneously, we were served very timely and always with a smile! SO THANK YOU! In addition, thank you for hosting OHIO STATE in the East Valley!!! It is SO SO SO SO appreciated that we are represented closer to our homes rather than having to drive into Phoenix! I hope you will continue this tradition next season. THANK YOU!
    Backyard GilbertResponded on January 27, 2025
    Paula, thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience with us during the OSU Championship game - we're always happy to host Ohio fans! We would love for you to continue this tradition next season and look forward to hosting you again. Thanks again for your support, and we can't wait to see you next time!

    First time at this restaurant. Checking it out for the dueling pianos visit next week perhaps. The music was very loud so conversation had to be at a minimum. Would recommend just lowering the music volume a bit. The service was amazing. My margarita pizza needed to be a bit more done. The center was barely warm. Thanks.

    Average food. Very loud!!! There was no way to have a conversation.
    Backyard GilbertResponded on January 17, 2025
    Carolyn, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the noise level made it difficult for you to have a conversation. As a live sports and music venue, we love creating an energetic atmosphere, and we understand that it can sometimes get loud. If you're looking for a quieter dinning experience, we recommend coming for lunch and enjoying our lunch special. We appreciate your thoughts on the food and will continue working to improve the overall experience. Thank you again.

    Don’t expect a fine dining experience. Loud music and lots of sports on tvs. I’d recommend this for a good hangout time. Service was decent but the food is not; this is bar food snacks and weak drinks. Order some beer and have some decent conversations with the people around you. Not sure a reservation is needed for a place like this.
    Backyard GilbertResponded on January 6, 2025
    Vernon, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere. We'll certainly take note of your comments on the food and drinks as we continue to improve our offerings. We appreciate your visit and hope to see you again soon for another good time with friends!
