| - In town for business, and 2 of the 3 nights, I had the pleasure of coming to Backyards for dinner. I really don't get the reviews about poor service or the owner's lackluster attitude. I didn't experience any of that. Often, I've found that the problems don't exist with the business; they exist with the customer. Such are some of the negative reviews here.
Both nights, I experienced a different crew. Night 1, I was served by Bueller and Natasha. Both were friendly, chatty, and made me feel very welcome. Night 2 was Stephanie and Holly, and again, homerun on the service. Eric, the owner, was also there both nights. And both nights, he was engaged with his customers as well as his employees.
The food is exactly what you would expect at an establishment such as Backyards. It isn't 5-star Michelin quality. But it also isn't dive bar-esque. I had the turkey burger the first night, and it was a solid burger. Seasoned well, cooked well, plated well. I wasn't too hungry the 2nd night, so I decided on the bar food staple: the wings. And I was not disappointed with the Chile lime sauce.
To the folks at Backyards, thank you for making my time in Scottsdale memorable. And to all 4 of my servers, great job on the old fashioned!
