Backyard Social

Between three people, we got the pot pie, sweet potato gnocchi, and turkey sandwich. The turkey sandwich was okay. The gnocchi was very tasty but had a disappointingly small portion that is more appropriate for an light appetizer. I got the pot pie which was really good. The popcorn was also really tasty.

It’s not a bad restaurant, but with the wealth of amazing pdx restaurants, this one is forgettable.

Good food and friendly staff. Order apps, because the portions are a little small, but the flavors are spot on. Interesting house made cocktails are worth checking out for certain.

Hands down... A++. Amazing vibe, the staff is incredibly sweet and makes you feel like family and the establishment is beautiful. The food is fantastic and drinks are on point. HIGHLY recommended!! Killer job backyard social!

This place is Stellar on SO MANY LEVELS.

Portland has so much food, so it's easy to get lost on where to go. I first learned of the Backyard Social when I was getting ready to shoot a reception in their back area and I met my people there for drinks + apps. We ended up spending HOURS there. This is the norm for them because it's their favorite neighborhood spot but for me it was new and I'm a fairly busy person so to just lose track of time and thoroughly enjoy every moment spent there is big for me. The first visit, the roasted romaine salad was to DIE FOR along with everything else that made it to my mouth.

Fast forward to the wedding / dinner reception that took place I was again so thrilled with my experience. From a vendor perspective they KILLED it. The food was next level delicious, and the timing was impeccable. All their guests had an amazing 4 or 5 course meal experience that left their taste buds begging for more but with literally no room left in their stomachs. At the end of the night they sent me home with extra food and my friends and I ate and raved into the early morning about it. The vegan/vegetarian options are amazing and i'm neither.

Anyways I had to drop a killer review. I promise to always try to stop in on our trips to Portland. Thanks for a rad experience & even better food + people!

Laid back atmosphere, with a large interior layout and an outside area. Food was good! The portions were a bit on the small side, but still very tasty and plated well. The back patio was nice sized for Summer, but looked like it could use some updating. I will definetly be adding this spot into my rotations!
