Backyard BBQ Pit is a classic, no-frills BBQ joint. The writing is on the wall here ... literally! The walls are covered with signatures and messages from hundreds of satisfied customers. Here you’ll find mac n’ cheese, collard greens, some of the most tender brisket you’ve ever had and more.
The pulled pork sandwich was so good! The collard greens were the best I've ever had. So tender and full of flavor. The pineapple lemonade did not disappoint. My girlfriend had the fried catfish and could not stop raving about how good it was. (Fresh, delicious, crunchy and flaky). The hush puppies. I cannot express how good they were. Chewy and pillowy in the middle and not greasy/oily on the outside. The batter was light and crunchy. This was a different style of hush puppy than I've had before, but damn was it good! The staff was super nice and checked up on us when that's not the way the restaurant is set up to run (it's cafeteria style). I wish we had more time on our visit to go back!

That brisket was melt-in-your-mouth magic — smoky, tender, and worth every second of the wait. The entire meal delivered bold, comforting flavors that scream soul food heaven. And the best part? It won’t break the bank. A hidden gem I’ll absolutely be returning to.

First time here and I will be back. The food was delicious. The working man is a great value and comes with a bbq sandwich and two sides. The Mac and cheese and friend okra was delicious. The pineapple lemonade was legendary! Great bbq. I’m looking forward to trying their other options. The service was great, very clean and nice inside, not much parking though.

Pretty average bbq and it’s not cheap. I love brisket and it was pretty tough. Potato salad and Mac was good

I’ve come here for years and love their southern food,
I got takeout today. I noticed the container was quite a bit smaller than in the past. I ordered catfish and got one piece in the past there was two and for the price it definitely was not worth it.
Their mac & cheese is heavenly which I ordered today but the guy, (sweet as he is ) dropped the entire pan Coming out from the kitchen on the floor and picked it up and put it in the serving area. I didn’t say anything, but I was a little astonished.
I chose to ignore that 94.5 rating but I Understand it now.
They seem very disorganized. I’m sorry to write this review because I love small businesses, but they need to step it up a notch.
Actually, was there a week ago to get mac & cheese for Thanksgiving and I ordered a plate and they seemed to have forgot about me ,after I sat there for 30 minutes They offered me a free drink… no,that was not enough compensation. I’m sorry.
Sadly , i wont be back.

Quick for the time of night but I won't go back. The price to portion wasn't good. And no BBQ available only a few fried food options. Yes I ordered really late but having no BBQ with BBQ in the name says a lot.

Spectacular homemade southern cooking. Taste better than Grandma's food, but please don't tell her I said that! Delicious and affordable!

I used to come here all the time in 2016-2017 before the renovations. The food and service was always good. The pictures connected to this review are from Sept. 2024 and shows how nice and clean the renovated look of the place is. I forgot to take pictures of my food but it was all as tasty and delicious as I remember. I highly recommend.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was great 👍🏾 even though customer in front oof me took my rib plate and went out the door 😆 🤣 the lady behind the counter said don't worry about it and quickly made me another. It's clean in side 👍🏾 The pork sandwiches delicious and all the sides delicious. Definitely recommend this BBQ place.

Good food, amazing service and an overall vibe. I heard the place was remodeled, not sure what it looked like BEFORE but the NOW is giving!
Couldn’t give it 5 stars because the fried chicken wasn’t working for me, not saying it was bad but just wasn’t working with my taste buds today. However! That Mac and cheese and yams… absolutely 🔥! Oh and that pineapple lemonade was everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I plan to return and try some other things soon, I’ll keep the pics coming!

Really good! The pulled pork had flavor even without sauce added — something I don’t see a lot. Green beans were good but I think the yams stole the show (although there’s a lot of sugar if that’s a problem for you). Prices were great. The only negative for me was the seating felt odd and better for someone eating alone instead of with a friend or group.
