Backyard ⭐ 4.1 (798)

This spot has always been a wish-wash location for me. The music on Friday, April 18th, 2025, was on point! However, the service was short of inviting or decent (lot of macho male vibes from the two guys that I got a drink from.... and I'm talking about Sprite and asking for 3 refills. Even while tipping each time, one of the guys seemed to be annoyed with me asking for refills. Anyhow, the venue itself is nostalgic to me, and I love the semi-open roof setting with the overhead awning. The stage, lighting, speakers, and DJ were all badass.... this place just needs more friendly and engaging bartenders.... the two dudes who were serving drinks would be better being garbage men with their attitude and dog shit "bartending" abilities. Whoever owns this joint now, I feel you have incredible potential (especially with this location and tourism), but you have some major in-house cleaning to do. Customer service is key within your industry. I have no comment on the food as I did not eat.

Gives day party vibes but for the younger crowd. Dj was good, brunch all you can eat buffet style food selection was nice.

Lovely spot, cute decor, and the drinks are delicious 😋 The staff is really friendly ad welcoming too. The food was good. I attended the mimosafest with my girlfriends and we enjoyed it very much. Great for pics too. Location is great, several other stablishments within walking distance. You have to pay for parking by meter/hourly cost. Venue has cool art and photo backdrop... it's outdoors so it's hot but fans and tent all around. Nice big stage too with great music and DJ also.

Don’t ever ever ever use a card there. They are real thieves. How you charge $360 for a transaction and I sign a receipt for $360 then a couple days later you check your bank they updated the charge to $500. How? I gave the bar tender cash tip and they charge my card $140 for what? That is ridiculous. Are they manually adding their own tips to peoples card? Make it make sense please.

There is a phase in life when you're too old to be out at 2 a.m. on most nights of the week, but too young to be in bed at 9. America's Backyard had a soft reopening to transition itself from a bar to an outdoor/indoor restaurant with live music several nights a week. On a Saturday night at 8:30, the band was happily playing covers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s--giving everyone something to rock out on and taking requests long before the end. The food is mostly pizza, but it's good pizza served up personal sized with over 24 varieties (we had the margherita pizza). I was not impressed by the craft beer variety, which could use sprucing up in a South Florida jam-packed with great microbrews (my server suggested Narragansett for lagers and said they had not one sour on tap, bottle, or can). Cocktails are served in plastic cups in this new Covid world and we were seated with a reservation (yes, you need one) on stage right next to the band. My Backyard Lemonade was strong, sour, and a perfect pairing with cheesy pizza. We had a great time and will be back. The Himmarshee District needs a place that's open to families of all types (we brought our 🐕). Indoor and outdoor seating available. All staff wore masks. Plenty of hand sanitizer throughout Backyard. 50% capacity. Management, service, and cleanliness were on point.
