The doors of the BackYard Burger Bar are now open! I have watched this place be under construction for the last several months as I salivated for this time to come. The joint is all that I hoped for and more. At first I was at a low point because I liked that paint store that used to be at this location. But hey, a restaurant with great burgers, now that is more than a fair trade!
I had the pleasure of trying the BackYard Burger Barn on their first day open to the public. Typically restaurants have some kinks to work out when they first open. You would have thought this establishment was in business for years. It was a little after 5pm and I sat at a booth, which was cozy. I think the next time I will choose the lounge area. The bar was packed and it seemed like the patrons were a decade worth of “regulahs”. I had the fried mac and cheese to start as an appetizer. It was a tough decision I was torn between the mac and cheese and fried pickles. Next time I will go for the pickles. The burger I got was excellent. Not only was in large in size but it was also all-natural. Yeah of course you are going to pay a lil more than your typical crap fast food burger. You get what you pay for. The burger as I said was excellent. If you don't like red meat no worries. They have fish sandwiches, turkey burgers, vegetarian options, AND......Cupcakes for dessert (made by the local Jennacakes). I used to buy her products at the Scituate Farmers Market and thought I would have to wait until next year to cash in on some more of these goodies. Merry Christmas to Scituate and about six months early. Jennacakes are in town at the Backyard Burger Bar for you to enjoy! I am telling you these cupcakes are delish! They were often sold out at the farmers Market if you got there too late. So while you stuff your tum tum don't stuff it too much so you have room for some cupcakes that are fresh and local.
As for the ambiance I felt like I was in a cabin up in Maine. If L.L.Bean were to ever come out with their own burger restaurant I think it would look and feel similar to this place. Like L.L.Bean I felt the establishment was inviting, rustic, cozy, friendly, with exceptional service and great food. I don’t want to over hype this place but if you want darn good comfort food in a casual atmosphere with fabulous service, and want to support small local businesses give the BackYard Burger Bar a shot!
Enjoy!
PS. They also have individual pizzas that looked delicious from a distance and a great beer list.
