★★★★★ 5.0 Sandra Valmaña · Aug 2025

The Backyard on a sunny Saturday is simply glorious. Live music from 1 to 4 PM I went for the Bay Area All Stars, a large band of 9ish musicians: talent meets fun. The Backyard has no inside, but there is plenty of seats, tables, comfy outdoor furniture to accommodate all sorts of groups (1-a bunch). Kids are welcome in the playground under adult supervision. Pets are also welcome. The Point Molate salad was delicious and well balanced. Kudos to the Cook who made the chicken to perfection! Chicken breast so tender that felt pork belly without the grease.

I went to watch a band perform. I am impressed with the atmosphere. There is a good amount of seating. I didn't order any food. The food I saw looked really good. I recommend this place. And will go back. The place can use better bathrooms thou. They're portable toilets.

Awesome vibe for The Taste of Richmond Restaurant. The food was scrumptious backyard burger, Philly cheese , garlic fries, goat cheese w/tomatoes and balsamic drizzle. Those drinks were on point! Awesome service with a smile!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Patrick Hancock · Jul 2024

Ordered the backyard bratwurst sandwich, and the mustard that it comes with was overpowering. Taste like a mustard sandwich. That's why I gave 3 stars. Trying to get to fancy on a bratwurst never works. But what do I know about taste, I'm from Indiana, and all we need to put on a good bratwurst is raw onions and ketchup, and we are set. Didn't like the pickle onions either. Keeping it simple would have been better for me. And it cost $20.00 with 10 percent tip. I would recommend this place to anyone, but today it wasn't for me. I'll be back to try something different in the near further. So, with that said, I hope everyone will come down here to support this place. Good music friendly people. Thanks.

What a fun and casual find. The place literally has the feel of a backyard, full of picnic tables, trees, cornhole toss, a small performance stage, and even some old worn couches. The food tasted so good. Selections were limited, but plentiful at the same time. Lots of choices of beverages, including alcohol and specialty. Also, the pumpkins were for sale. Permanent porta potties for reatrooms.
