Backyard in Bristol, City of

The worst restaurant experience I've ever had in my life. Waitress spilled my pint in my lap, brought my starter and my main at the same time so the person I was with had to wait for all of their food, and the chicken was poor quality, poorly cooked and rubbery. Definitely one to avoid!

We came trough a deal that we found on Wowcher, the vibe in the restaurant was lovely and the waitresses were very friendly we will definitely come back again x

Second time we’ve come for bottomless brunch. Each time the food was fantastic and drinks were lovely. I myself do not drink and they ensure I was catered for with the constant flow of non alcoholic drinks as well as cocktails for the others in the group. Both times we were served and looked after by Faith. And both times she was fantastic, couldn’t do enough for us and was always checking to make sure everything was ok. Would recommend this place to anyone.

A lovely tasty meal we had wing burger and dirty fries. Was all lovely and very tasty the dirty fries were really gorgeous. Thank you for the good food and service

Staff were great very attentive, drinks were nice but didn't seem to be much alcohol in them. Food was plentiful, but my chicken wasn't very crispy and was a bit sweaty, my friend's was better. Nice meal out and great value on a Wowcher deal. Not sure I would go again at full price sorry.

This place has become a firm family favourite. It was my 14 year old son’s choice for his birthday meal (and being a teenager, he is notoriously difficult to please)! In fact, this is a great place for the whole family. We visited again this weekend and were very happy that ‘kids go free’ at weekends. Ash knows how to please his customers and his staff are a real credit to him. For anyone who appreciates really tasty chicken, generous portions, super cool drinks, all served by friendly, down to earth, fun staff - what are you waiting for?!! I would definitely recommend this place. The chicken and burgers are AMAZING!! We also tried the chipotle grilled corn for the first time - definitely not your average corn, this was super tasty with a sauce and Parmesan and a bit of heat…Mmmmm! Thanks Ash and team, we had a really lovely time - the food and service were spot on. Just waiting for the kids to mention wanting hot chicken again…

Food amazing But staff second to none... Ollie really good ambassador for the company... Went out of is way to describe menu choices. If i owned a business this is the fella i would employ! He was so ammicable and even when he was on his break asked us how our food was. Keep up the good work. Karen and stewart lucton

Visited as a couple on a Saturday night, first impressions were good the lay out of the restaurant and decor is modern and fresh and we loved the old school garage music. When seated and discovered it was a touch screen to order we thought this a great concept it was nice to browse all the options in our own time / not have to wait on service. When the food arrived all I can say is WOW the presentation was great but the flavour really blew us away. The chicken was crispy outside, moist inside, full of flavour. The dirty fries and other sides were spot on and good portions sizes too. Good, simple fresh ingredients done right and cooked with love what more could you ask for!! The place was really busy but the assume general manager or owner still took the time to chat to us when we paid the bill and ask how the food was / where we are from etc. all the staff were great and friendly despite being rushed off their feet. The cocktails were also delicious and had good 2 for £10 options. We were really impressed and if we visit Bristol again this will be the first place we come to eat! Branch out in London please!!

After booking a late table after we where unable to get a booking anywhere else we arrived and the place was busy and had a great buzz . The handy screens on the tables make it so easy to order your food and drinks when the food arrived the presentation was excellent and I couldn’t wait to dive in I couldn’t believe what I was tasting seriously the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten in 25+ years the chicken was crispy on the outside moist and succulent in the middle it was perfect , loaded fries and garlic buns where outrageous ! Hats off to these guys and what there doing Bristol are very lucky to have such a gem of a place right on there doorstep ! Keep doing what your doing can’t wait to visit again !

I visited with my friend for our first experience of the bottomless brunch here. The value of it is incredible with lots of fresh, tasty food and good cocktails for £19.95. But what really stood out was the service! From the moment I walked through the door, the woman dressed in all black wearing sliders (I wish I’d got her name) greeted me with such a warm welcome and the attentive, bubbly service continued throughout. Unlike most bottomless brunches, we never felt rushed and she had a drink ready for us throughout. She was so so warm, lovely, friendly and smiley and I never write reviews but can’t remember the last time I had such great service. The whole atmosphere was really relaxing and well-run. It was actually such a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Hoping the owners read this as she was honestly the best waitress I’ve had in years so hold on to her! We’ll be back. Thank you.

Absolutely awesome. Got a voucher for this place for Christmas but I have to say we will 100% be returning service is amazing. Shout out to Faith who served us. Food is affordable and full of flavour well cooked and fresh. Restaurant is clean and management is on point (GM Ash is focused on customers) can't fault this place at all absolutely brilliant. Will definitely be returning.

Love this place, been here a few times and it never fails. Great Mojito's, good beer and the best chicken you will find anywhere. Couple this with friendly, helpful staff and you are assured of great time whenever you visit. Special mention goes to Ash, top man!

Backyard is ideally situated at the top of park street just on queens road . You order from your table on ordering screens which is a nice little gimmick. Now for the food really tasty fried chicken in an assortment of flavours and coatings and some really nice sides to the boot a special shout out to the corn on the cob ribs they were absolutely immense full of flavour and perfectly cooked. Service again pleasant and attentive . Glad to see a top chicken restaurant on the scene in Bristol it was lacking !

The restaurant was quiet as expected for a Wednesday but the food was amazing. The flavours were great and the service was quick and efficient. The cocktails were also lovely and 2 for one on a Wednesday. Great experience and would definetly return.

I love backyard, the atmosphere is amazing and the food is impeccable! The staff are fab and it’s always a brilliant experience whether ordering to home or eating in.

1st and last time. Cocktails and burger were really nice but I don't understand the Chinese spices on a chicken n bacon burger. The whole concept is confused if your fried chicken is seasoned it shouldn't need all the extra gimmicks of Korean and Indian...

Well what can I say! Booked here for a birthday lunch of chicken and mojitos. Talent and Olly looked after us amazingly well. Food to die for, super friendly staff. Had the best time. Top tip… Olly makes THE best Mojitos! Thank you, we will...

Talent and the rest of the team are super attentive and really friendly. The food is amazing, level of spice is perfect. Definitely would recommend, already been back!

We had the chicken afternoon tea. The food was really tasty and you got lots - such great value! I'd definitely recommend. Children also eat free at the weekend at the moment with a paying adult - an added bonus!

Have been meaning to try here for a while, but eventually booked for our daughter’s birthday lunch, a table of 12. Truly fantastic food and value, but the service from the manager and front of house in particular was exceptional - they could not have...

Had a group meal to celebrate a birthday and received excellent food and service, in particular Faith.

I've been meaning to try this place for a while, given the number of times I've passed by and thought the menu looked appealing. Sadly, I left disappointed. The space is well designed, with what I would describe as an 'industrial chic' look, open kitchen...

We did a groupon afternoon tea, £19 down from £50 for 2 people. We had an array of different picky bits to eat and a green tea mojito. First off i think people would prefer to choose their own cocktail, secondly the cocktail was so...

Staff were very friendly, fast service, great tasty fresh food. Good value lunch option. There are tablets on the walls to order, ask for help or request your bill which are great!

My partner and I visited with a wowcher we had which came with afternoon tea, cocktail each and dessert. Food was amazing, the watermelon side was so tasty. Would highly recommend and great value for money. My only drawback was the presentation, we were expecting...

Excellent fried chicken, cooked fresh with lots of choice of sides/sauces. Good portion sizes. Quality up there with some of the best we have had !

I had the boneless meal for lunch, the chicken was good, the tenders were slightly over cooked but the thighs were really nice and juicy. The fires were really good and seasoned perfectly, the Avocado were a cool twist and really tasty The staff were...

Huge plump wings, but the watermelon was the highlight, pickled, a little heat, just incredible stuff!

We visited the Backyard several times before the lockdowns and really liked this place. We visited on Friday, 20th August and were reminded of just how delicious the chicken served here really is and how much variety there is. The staff were happy to look...

Amazing help and service from Izzy. Was super friendly and helped with everything. 100% will be back again x

Our server Izzy was so amazing! We had such an amazing time. Really hope she’s there when we go back!!

The 2-4-1 cocktails were really nice! Faith was lovely as well, offered us lots of help and was super friendly - food and drinks came very quickly as well, we’ll definitely be going back:)

We came for a family meal with our kids and absolutely loved the food and service. The portions are really generous. The service was great and they couldn’t do more to help us. Whether or not you like spicy food there’s something for everyone. The...

There are lots of vegan options! We were so undecided because all of them seemed so good and they tasted even better. We felt very welcome to the restaurant by the workers, but a special thank you to Faith who made it even better :)

Nice atmosphere in restaurant, you can see the chef's cooking from all angles as they work in the middle. Waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was great! We could order at a tablet at our table and everything came super quickly (5/10...

Really good service and the food is served quickly. I've been here a few times and the chicken is always really well cooked, and the burgers are great. 100% would recommend going here. My one issue is that I've ordered the "extra hot piri piri...

Good chicken good drinks good service!! Just to reiterate, it was really good, faith was our server and she made our night!!

Food was absolutely amazing! Great portion sizes and staff were so kind and welcoming. Everything was great and the ordering system was easy to use and Covid friendly.

Great restaurant. The cluck and go chicken burgers are the best burger I have ever had and a reasonable price. Would highly recommend going if your in the area.

Went here with a group, food arrived quickly. The chicken tasted good quality and was all well cooked. The katsu was delicious however the mild peri-peri was too hot for mild. The fries came in good portions and were heavily seasoned. When we selected for...

We walk past Backyard Chicken a lot and decided to give it a try and we were not disappointed. The avocado fries and loaded fries were great. Plus, the staff were very friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.

I've dined in here a few times and its always amazing! Deliciously cooked and lots of great flavour combinations to try. You should deffo try the whole chicken, the Korean nuggets with the nice glaze mmm, and the garlic buttermilk buns are also my favourite...

Had the chicken royal, the Korean nuggets and garlic buns, seriously under rated food here, absolute must try.

We decided to pop in last minute as a Friday treat as we were desperate to try the Loaded Fries we had pre Lockdown! Backyard didn’t disappoint! We had 2 chicken burgers, loaded fries and my son had the chicken burgers and fries on the...

Found it by accident - had an amazing time and dinner! wow! Food, service and atmosphere was great! fast, tasty and huge portions! if u haven't been here yet - definitely give it a try. can't recommend enough! thank u guys for the experience!

Had the whole chicken Kung Pao style. Loads of sides, watermelon salad, apple slaw, corn, avocado fries and pineapple salad. All of it was really fresh and tasty. The staff were very friendly and the ipad ordering system was great, good came really quick and...

I visited here with a friend the other day and tried out your burger and chicken and it was absolutely amazing. My favourite restaurant that I have been to in Bristol! We also had a very friendly Australian/NZ(?) waitress who we would also like to...

Welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and friendly service! The kung pao chicken was faultless, I could eat it every day! Will definitely be returning 😁

I went here hoping for a 1980s Wimpy restaurant vibe and was sorely disappointed ;) Really nice decor and feel to the place. Enjoyed ordering on the tablet and service was great. I had the umami burger which was delicious. I'd definitely go back. I...

Food was good, staff were nice. But the atmosphere reminded me of a 1980s Wimpy. And when the customer is doing all the work by ordering via an iPad, why an automatic 10% service charge? We're British - we're not going to make a fuss...

Chicken is well cooked moist, not bry, burgers were also juicy and succulent. The vegan and veggie options went down well wilth the other members of our family. Will return again

Lovely, juicy vegan burger. Quick and happy service and modern approach to payment etc eg order by iPad, clean and colourful surroundings. - fair prices. Came here for a work lunch but will definitely return with fam!

we have been back to Backyard a number of times and the food is always amazing, very tasty and very fresh. The staff are very friendly and very professional always made to feel at home, the whole chicken to share with kung po sauce is...

The grilled chicken thigh is just amazing! Super warm and friendly staff! Will definitely come back in the future.

Chicken. Plant based. Vege/vegan. Self-serve Asahi beer. Card payment only, no cash. Self ordering using ipads. Visible kitchen in middle of floor. Friendly attentive staff. I had ramen, very nice. Will return.

Thanks for the great Chicken Afternoon Tea! Izzy served us and was great. Definitely recommend. It was lovely ❤️

Great chicken afternoon tea! Whoever thought you could get a chicken afternoon tea! Lush food, lush mojito, great service from Izzie! Great experience!

Have eaten here twice now. First time I had 2 pieces of fried chicken with rice and peas, and the second time a chicken burger with skin on fries. Both meals were really nice, and the rice and peas is particularly interesting. Spicy and tasty....

Never knew this place existed. We visited after purchasing a Wowcher deal for a spicey chicken afternoon tea. The food, service and presentation where amazing! I flipping loved the way to order/menu dear h/request the bill via the iPad at each table. Mojitos were amazing...

Went here for the first time the other day and I thought the whole concept of the restaurant was really fun. As a veggie there was quite a few options even though it mainly focuses on chicken. Fairy well priced and the ramen I had...

Came here with a group of friends after work. One of my friends is vegan and there was still plenty of choice. I had the chicken thighs with fries and salad and I have to say they were some of the best I've had in...

ill never give 5 starts due to the fact i thought it was pricey. But it was cool, tasty, quick and simple. you take a seat and order at your table on a ipad, the drinks come, (if you get a pint you get to...

Visited on a Monday night with a friend for a quick bite, great staff and great atmosphere. I ordered the 3 piece chicken with the lemon, garlic and herb dressing - the chicken was succulent and falling off the bone, you can obviously tell they...

My friend and I came to backyard for a mid week dinner, we live very close and have yet to visit. It was so amazing! Phoebe and Talent were such nice hosts and recommended the best food, and don’t be put off that it’s a...

Ordered from deliveroo and it was actually fantastic. Rarely do you get great taste, quality and value. Pease don’t change

We started with a friendly greeting and a nice simple explanation on how the food ordering works, by a lovely waitress called Faith. The options all looked delicious and the avocado fries were suggested, they didn't disappoint. Being very hungry at the time, the crispy...

We stumbled on this place after a search for a quick chicken dinner and ended up staying at Backyard for 4 hours! The food was fresh, nicely presented and very tasty; and the staff were excellent. Izzy, Faith, Bridgette and Talent were brilliant hosts and...

This restaurant was recommended to us by our daughter and future son in law so we thought we would try it this evening as we happen to be in Bristol this week. We both ordered grilled chicken and several sides electronically with lots of help...

Friendly staff Helpful about allergies Every bad comment I have read they have taken in and improved Order from easy to use iPad Quick service Good music High quality good food Highly recommended from me looking forward to returning very soon 👍🏼

Was offered the chance a few months back to try it out before they opened to the general public. Was told that I would get 50% off my bill and that my feedback was welcome. I had nothing to lose, it's always nice to try...

If you look at the menu at Backyard and it gets your tastebuds going, you will not be disappointed. We went last night for a friends birthday meal. We really wanted everything on the menu. We all started off with the chicken soup with a...

I was excited to try this new restaurant. It is unusual in the sense that it is cashless and you order on an Ipad. I really enjoyed the chicken burger I had here, it was flavourful and the chicken was tender. It arrived quickly. The...

Myself and a friend visited backyard chicken with a wowcher voucher for their afternoon tea. This consisted of a mojito cocktail, a selection of chicken wings, chicken bonbons, chicken lettuce wraps and Katsu chicken flatbreads and ice cream for afters. The food was delicious so...

Was lucky to find a voucher on livingsocial for an Asian Chicken afternoon tea at this place. The food was absolutely delicious and loved the innovative pickled watermelon! The staff were so friendly and attentive and I cannot recommend this place enough 😊

Food was excellent, service from Izzy attentive but not intrusive. Overall a fabulous night out, good food, good music, good service. Definitely recommend.

My visit to this restaurant reminded me of the ‘It’s our fault. It’s your fault’ scene from the TV series ‘Years and Years’ – the one where the grandmother played by Anne Reid lambasts her family for their spinelessness and blames people’s meek acceptance of...

The food is excellent and the service is efficient. We had the whole fried chicken, which was an absolute showstopper. Would definitely come again!

Normally when you go place you can get sarcastic service but the servers were great here really genuine and super kind, we had Eliza and she did service with a smile, I will keep going back. Thanks for the great food. Everyone loved it!!

Today I visited this restaurant for the 3rd time, and I’ve never been disappointed. Everything is full of flavour, the whole fried chicken ( everyone should try) was perfectly cooked and the sauce was amazing. The sweet corn with the feta, Parmesan and harissa was...

First time visiting the restaurant after hearing amazing reviews from friends and I can see why! All the staff were friendly and their customer service was excellent. The food was really tasty and with such a variety it was hard to choose as spoilt for...

There is no need for long review.... I’ve had the best chicken burger ever! The best starters, great cocktails, amazing staff, everyone was very friendly and helpful! Portions are generous and chocolate brownie......heaven! If you haven’t visited yet....you have to! Thank you Backyard! We’ve had...

Newly open and while in Bristol took my daughter after her graduation as she wanted to try it.Very modern restaurant with ipads on wall to order from an your table. I was comparing the restaurant to a Nandos as quite similar but we agreed that...

Great service from Faith - greeted nicely as was first time and gave recommendations on request 😁 conversatted whilst waiting for food. will come back

I visited this new restaurant for an early evening birthday meal. I was greeted by a very friendly and helpful waiter on arrival and was shown to my table. The iPad used to order items from the menu is easy and shows images of the...

Popped in for a quick feed, good value, food was decent, chicken was nice, crispy and moist. My wife's allergies were really well catered for. And our server Izzy was amazing, super on point, some of the best service we have had for a while....

Some good chicken at this place. Me and the lads went for a hangover cure and it was perfect. Chips were amazing too.

We visited the restaurant on the opening night and there were a number of teething issues with the ordering system and delays, but the food was delicious. So we waited a month for everything to be ironed out and returned this Sunday. The food was...

This place blew me away! I had the Kung Pao jumbo wings and the piri piri boneless thighs with apple slaw. It was an explosion of flavours! I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a lunch this good. I’ll definitely be coming back.

This place seems to ride on the trend of being quirky by setting it up so you order on a touch screen tablet. It misses the point. Touch screen ordering should enable embarrassment free ordering and minimal social contact with waiting staff. A visible kitchen...

We had the wings for starters which were crispy and came with a hotish salsa, we then shared the chicken burger and 3 pieces of fried accompanied by fries and their slaw. Everything was beautifully cook. Because of the iPad ordering system which does take...

Really thoroughly enjoyed the casual relaxed vibe.. staff happy to explain menu and help with iPad - which despite being done well, and us being tech savvy did have some fairly frustrating problems! Don’t let it dissuade you though, staff where very clearly a button...

Was very disappointed with the experience at Backyard. Rather than ordering in a normal way, you are forced to use an iPad to place your order. Our first iPad didn't work, a replacement came after a lot of faffing. The iPad was not intuitive and...

Came for the vegan fried chicken (seitan) and wasn’t disappointed & it went very nicely with the lush watermelon salad. Service was great - you order online but food was quick and servers helpful & friendly. Atmosphere was fun. My meat eating partner loved the...

My family and I visited and were left feeling really disappointed with the whole experience. We were told to order everything from the iPad which was fine but we would of preferred some more explanation as to where to find certain things. When we asked...

Got the grilled chicken with Piri Piri, the chicken is just plain roasted, tasteless, and the give you the Piri Piri sauce on the side. Can't belive I'm saying this but nandos is a hundred times better. Poot poor poor. This place won't last. Its...

Stunning restaurant, very friendly kind staff, i felt ever so welcomed. The greatest chicken burger I have ever tasted! with all the trimmings, bring your spare stomach as the portions are of a very generous size. Pricing is on point here. Very pleasant area of...

3 of us were heading to the theatre and decided to get something to eat before the show. As we approached we were offered an alcohol free cocktail by the enthusiastic and welcoming staff. We were given the option of where to sit and chose...
