Backyard BBQ

Backyard BBQ is a seasonal shack nestled on the central boulevard of Knoebels Amusement Resort in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. Open daily from May through September during park hours (typically 10 AM‑10 PM), the stand offers a true backyard cook‑out experience with freshly roasted corn on the cob, smoky turkey legs, juicy pork chops, and bacon‑on‑a‑stick. The open‑air design lets diners enjoy the summer breeze while the scent of charcoal and spices drifts from the grill, creating a lively atmosphere that echoes classic American barbecues. Prices range from $8 for a corn cob to $18 for a pork chop combo, making it an affordable option for families, groups of friends, and park visitors looking for a hearty meal between rides. The shack is located just steps away from the Crystal Pool and the Bavarian Nut Shoppe, providing a convenient stop after a day of water slides or a sweet snack. Seating consists of picnic tables and shaded benches, and the menu also includes classic sides such as coleslaw, baked beans, and pickles. Vegetarian guests can enjoy grilled corn and a selection of fresh salads from the nearby Oasis Cafeteria. With its casual vibe, friendly staff, and generous portions, Backyard BBQ has become a beloved pit stop for parkgoers seeking authentic, smoky flavors without leaving the resort. The stand accepts cash and major credit cards, and large groups can arrange pre‑orders by calling the park’s guest services line.
