I love eating here! I grew up eating plantains and never liked them. They have me liking them! I've had many different... Platters, but my favorite is the Oxtail Platter. Their desserts are tasty as well. I definately recommend you trying thisplace. Read more
This place is absolutely amazing!!! I?m an East coast West Indian girl & the food at Back A Yard gives me nostalgia! It?s so... flavorful, the portions are perfect for the price & the staff is beyond friendly. I will definitely return here even if itmeans flying in just to eat here again!!! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!!! Read more
The oxtails are good, but the jerk chicken leaves a lot to be desired. The sauce wasn't doing it for me. They do give great... portions and the customer service is great. Read more
This place popped up in my recommendations. I looked at the menu and it seemed interesting. I haven't had Caribbean food for a... while. Ordered the Jerk Chicken & Salmon combo along with some Corn bread and Coco bread. Not sure if it was a miss fromDoorDash or the restaurant but I didnt receive the Corn bread and Coco bread. I'll give the benefit of doubt to the restauranthere. The food: The Jerk Chicken and Salmon combo was very flavorful. Fried plantains made for the perfect side for the combo.The dish also came with a spicy sauce on the side which enhanced the flavor. Will order again to try the other items on themenu. Read more
I'm visiting my family from Long Island, NY. I'm vietnamese with a jamaican gf and mannn this food here was good. I brought my... mom and sister here for the 2nd time. We all loved the corn festivals, the sweet plantains, the oxtail. The jerk chicken had agood smokey taste to it, could use a little more spiciness though! When I come back with the girlfriend, gonna bring her here!The festivals, we're crispy on the outside, chewy and soft in the center, and just the perfect sweetness. The beef patties are???? too!

8/11 @ 6pm Indoor dining half of the room. Bathroom closed. Tasty ox tail not too spicy. Meat falls off bones. But extremely... slow service. Took about 15 minutes after order to receive. Not very crowded. Would not want to be here while busy. I see 2people in kitchen and 2 at front desk. They don't wipe table after people have eaten and left table. Read more
Finally went to back a yard again after 2 years I think. My buddies and I went to the location on Capitol Expressway. It's in... the Gould Shopping Center in the far left side. They are open for indoor with about 5 tables. They are staffed sufficiently andare doing a lot of to go orders in person and/or website. We got there around 7 Saturday and there was no line. We ordered thespecial combo curry goat and oxtail and the combo jerk chicken and oxtail. The curry goat was so damn good because the curry hasa nice kick to it. I didn't remember the curry having that extra kick. Not Hot spicy but flavorful spicy. Anyway, I had a SamAdam's and wasn't able to finish because they close at 8. The place was clean and not crowded at all. If you like oxtail andgoat like I do, you'll love Back-a-yard. They have 3 or 4 locations in SJ and the original in Menlo Park. Read more
The food was really good. The flavors went well with each other, just the textures of everything was all just mushy even the... fried plantains were soggy. The customer service was not as good as expected, the guy seemed like he didn?t want to be theretaking my order like almost annoyed which was unpleasant. Read more
