Our Guestbook
“ My little family and I tried this place for the first time on Saturday afternoon. Immediately, we loved the atmosphere! The inside definitely surprised us, since the plaza it’s in is a little older. We were seated immediately and greeted by our waitress within minutes. While we looked over the menu, we went ahead and placed my son’s order (he’s 3). We got him the kids cheese pizza and fries, it was a HUGE slice for a kids portion which was awesome. It must’ve been delicious because he ate the whole thing! My husband and I shared the Key West Smothered Pork Fries which were pretty good (fries were a little under done, but nothing to complain about). I ordered the Angry Orchard Burger and OH.MY.GOSH. it was so GOOD! Who knew apples and garlic went so well together. Just ate my leftovers (the burgers are huge) and it was just as delish and juicy 2 days later! My husband had the Smash Burger and he loved it! He’s finishing his now and says it’s still juicy as well! Don’t let the negative reviews steer you away, give it a try for yourself! Our waitress checked in on us several times and our drinks stayed full. 10/10 will visit again! ”
“ New Owners - The menu is now limited there have been some changes, Cheyenne was my server and she was fantastic,I wanted a black-and-blue burger which is no longer on the menu but they accommodated me and made one it was very good I just had to assemble it. I will come back and try again and hopefully their menu will get bigger and they will have more choices other than that it is a very good place to eat the burger though is on the expensive side 16 for just a burger no fries. ”
“ Stopped at Brooklyn’s today for the first time in a long time. Apparently it has brand new owners. Thank God the last ones are gone, they were not pleasant. I spoke to the son of the owners. He was personable and sincere about providing a comfortable place for locals to come. It’s a family owned business, and they want to keep the great food, and bring back the locals. Yay!! I’m excited to watch them grow. Tell your friends. Give it a shot if you haven’t been here in a while. The food is still great. The backyard burger was delicious! The fries were cooked in clean oil. The wings and brussels sprouts were fabulous as well. They have drink and food specials daily. I am definitely telling my friends there are new owners here, so that we can support them to grow their business. ”
“ We hadn't been to Brooklyn's in quite awhile because the quality had gone down and the prices had gone up. Well that's over now! New menu items, rice bowls are back! Wings were the best I've ever had - crunchy and yummy! Can't wait to go back and we give it a 5* review! ”
“ Our weekly dinner group really enjoyed your place tonight. 14 of us can be overwhelming but you did a great job. Loved the atmosphere, and the food was delicious. Wednesday burger night did not disappoint. My Brie burger was delicious. We'll definitely recommend you and will return ”
“ Absolutely loved my experience at Brooklyn's Backyard. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Every dish we tried had its own unique twist, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. On top of that, the vibe of the restaurant is just right—laid-back, fun, and full of great energy. Whether you're out with friends, family, or just grabbing a bite, Brooklyn's Backyard nails it on all fronts. Can’t wait to come back! ”
“ We met friends for lunch and they recommended this place and I'm glad they did. The waitress came right away and took our order. A meat lovers pizza for us and 2 brie burgers for our friends. The order took a while, 15 mins, but it was well worth the wait. The pizza was handmade and freaking delicious. The burgers stood 6 inches tall and was a challenge for our friends to eat. But they loved them. ”
“ They have great huckleberry mojitos and I love their rice bowl with shrimp. The service and atmosphere are great. Welp, a year later and there are no more bowls or huckleberry mojitos on the menu but there are still options for gluten-free people like me. Can’t do the pizza because I can’t have dairy-except for sheep cheese. So I’m having the gluten-free burger, and it was delicious. The staff was great, especially the bartender and Shannon. ”
