The Backyard BBQ Bar & Grill

The Backyard BBQ Bar & Grill, tucked into the heart of Rancho Murieta at 7238 Murieta Drive, offers a relaxed, backyard‑style dining experience just a short drive from Sacramento. Since opening in 2018, the venue has become known for its slow‑smoked ribs, Texas‑style brisket, pulled‑pork sandwiches, and hand‑crafted burgers topped with cheddar, bacon and house‑made sauces. Inside, reclaimed‑wood tables and vintage neon signs create a rustic yet lively atmosphere, while an outdoor patio shaded by string lights invites families to linger on warm evenings. The bar serves a rotating selection of craft beers, local wines and classic cocktails, plus a kids‑friendly soda bar. Every Tuesday from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. the restaurant runs a “Kids Eat Free” program—one complimentary child’s meal with any adult purchase of $15 or more. Guests can also join the Backyard Email Club for exclusive offers and event updates. In addition to dine‑in service, The Backyard provides full catering for gatherings up to 200 guests, featuring a customizable BBQ feast that includes smoked meats, sides, and desserts. The menu is available online, and orders can be placed through the “Order Now” button linked to ToastTab. Open daily, the hours are 11 a.m.‑8 p.m. Sunday‑Thursday and 11 a.m.‑9 p.m. Friday‑Saturday. The venue also hosts live music on Saturday evenings, featuring local country and rock bands that add to the festive vibe. Private parties can be booked in a dedicated event space decorated with vintage farm equipment and string‑bean vines. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or a weekend party, The Backyard delivers hearty, smoky flavors in a welcoming setting.
