Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Backyard Gilbert offers a vibrant sports bar atmosphere with "huge TV screens" perfect for game days. Guests rave about the "great food and drinks," especially the spicy margaritas and spinach dip. While the live music adds to the lively vibe, some find it "a little too loud" for conversation. Overall, it's a fun, colorful spot for sports fans.

    Looks like they trimmed the menu. Not much of a selection with high price for what you get. Service was good though.

    Too loud. Too bright. Generic bar food. Hostesses seemed a little annoyed that we interrupted them by coming in. Waitress took a long time to greet us and not happy with any questions. Never again. 
    Backyard GilbertResponded on November 25, 2024
    Tom, thanks for your feedback! We're sorry your visit didn't meet expectations. As a live music venue, our atmosphere can be lively at times, but we understand that's not for everyone. If you're looking for a quieter setting, we recommend joining us for lunch or an early dinner. We'll share your feedback with our team to ensure better service in the future. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance!

    2nd visit and service & food were very good. Attentive staff. Fun colorful place & environment to watch sports with giant size TV screens and multiple others. Noise level somewhat loud. Good bottomless mimosas & good variety on menu.

    Great experience, my only negative is the live music didn’t really match the atmosphere of backyard. The music was also so loud it was hard to have a conversation over it.

    First visit and it was great! Nice casual atmosphere. Cool vibe. TV’s are huge for watching sports. Food and drinks were very good especially the spicy margs, spinach dip and couscous salad. Mariah took excellent care of us!

    We went for lunch. This is an above average sports bar/restaurant. Even though they took a favorite off the menu just in time for our first visit, we'll be back.

    There was a a lot of mistakes with the service, food came out cold after waiting over 30 Minutes for appetizers. Drinks were forgotten about and when paying the bill there was several mistakes and the waitress had to fix it multiple times
