So I just moved to campbell from MA and was missing my local Ali’s roti and flames for my good Caribbean food. Stumbled upon this while looking for apts and I knew I had to live here. I’ve been in ca for 2 weeks and have already been here 4 times lol. I tried different things each time and all have been amazing. Oxtail, goat, festival bread and plantains are bussin. I got the jerk pork yard bowl today. Also amazing. Although I’m gonna need like 6 more sauces because it’s sooooo good ?. Get the mango habanero hot sauce. It’s homeade and fantastic. Lunch isn’t complete with a ting! Yum!
Never had Caribbean food before. Came here due to a friend's recommendation. Gotta say the food was delicious. Not sure how it compares to other Caribbean food spots. But I definitely recommend giving them a try. I ordered the jerk chicken and ox tail, did not disappoint.
So...the rib plate used to be my favorite. I have tried other meals as well...but NOW...it's oxtail dinner! Everyday if I could afford it. I LOVE this meal. Meat is tender and the sauce!!!! Hey, I enjoy the fatty portion too! but understand...there is plenty of meat on the bones! Everyone is always kind. Usually call in my order and it is ready when I arrive. Have NOTHING bad to say about BackAyard Campbell staff, nor the food. Sure, it gets busy but that's a good sign, right! Try it!
Great food, loved the jerk chicken plate. The woman taking orders this evening via phone in orders did not have the best attitude but whatever.One thing that I was shocked and annoyed about was the fact I bought FOUR jerk chicken plates, they all had the jerk sauce the chicken was cooked in but not on the side. I asked for a side of jerk sauce for each order and was charged for it (and it comes in a tiny container) I mean, even McDonalds gives you free BBQ sauce when you order nuggets hahaBut overall amazing food :-)
Salad was bomb, great rice and chicken. Bbq plate was simple but fantastic, great bbq taste. Soup of the day is always the same, some pumpkin thing. Plantain was great
First time I tried Back A Yard Caribbean restaurant on Winchester in Campbell was today. I ordered the meal combination of ox tail, plantains, and rice. The ox tail was fantastic, especially the wonderfully flavored sauce in which it was cooked. The plantains were good. The rice was ordinary rice.The one thing I did not care for was that the meal was served all in plastic – plastic plate, plastic utensils, and plastic cup. I wish that the owner/manager would switch to re-usable utensils and plates. Otherwise the plastic just goes either to the dump or it ends up in the ocean somehow. Is it asking too much for Back A Yard to do what is best for Mother Nature?Customers order at the cashier/counter and an employee brings the meal to the table. There are plenty of indoor tables, maybe 18 in all. There were no outdoor tables.There is free, sufficient street-level parking in front.
Had jerk chicken & ox tail combo.. very nice.. sauce kinda spicy salad dressing vibe.. liked it.. didn't see goat on the menu.. disappointed.. will try again.....had a loose collection of table seating...no outside seating
Jerk chicken was good, but not as spicy as I thought it would be. Collard greens were excellent. Friend said that the cornbread and macaroni and cheese were good as well.
This place was awesome and very fast service. I was hungry for some kind of spicy food and this place was recommended by a friend's brother. I went here for a good lunch and let's say that I'll be back.
We've finally had an opportunity to try their food and it was amazing! The oxtail, pork and chicken was so tender with so much flavor. The fried plantains were so delicious. Would have been great, if they offered a small bucket of them with our meals. Definitely be back to try the rest of their menu!
