Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Backyard Gilbert offers a "cool vibe" and a "fun colorful place" to watch sports with "giant size TV screens." The food, especially the "spicy margs" and "couscous salad," is a highlight. While service has some inconsistencies, the "attentive staff" and lively atmosphere make it a go-to spot.

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.

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.

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

Sat down and table next to us screamed at us that we were served first and they’ve been there for 20 minutes. Ordered chicken pot pie and poured out so much grease and oil from it. We also ordered chicken tenders and fries were good but chicken was over done to a crisp. Ordered the same drink twice and it tasted different each time. Will probably just be back for happy hour drinks only.

We waited for 20 minutes and nobody came to our table. Then we told a hostess. After waiting some more, we just left.

Food, beer, staff, service, and even tv’s showing games that were playing were all great. If I had one small issue it was the live music was just a little too loud. Cut that back a little to more background music and it would be more enjoyable. We were seated a distance from the live music and even still had to talk louder than normal to hear each other. I imagine those close to the music had a harder time.
Backyard GilbertResponded on October 16, 2024
Ralph, thank you for the feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the food, drinks, service, and game-watching atmosphere. We appreciate your input about the live music volume, and we'll definitely take it into consideration to create a more balanced experience for all guests. We hope to see you again soon!
