Perfect

by jolou at Citysearch

Perfection!! That is what I get when I eat at Back Yard Burgers! You can't make it any better -even at home. Love the atmoshere at Altamonte Springs outside dining and the pretty dining room by UCF.

• Pros: Great product, Friendly, Clean

Need some new opinions

by Burger Eater at Citysearch

I can't believe how many old reviews are below. Angus burgers used to be distinguishing, but now even McDonalds has a "better burger", which is better than the Backyard standard fare.

Seasoned fries are pretty good, but I'm ready for Five Guys to get down here!!!

• Pros: have Coke products
• Cons: small, dry burger -- expensive

Fast food that is actually fast AND food!

Black and blue burger.... near perfection for fast food. Shakes aren't bad either and the seasoned fries rock. If you are craving a burger and need it fast, there isn't a better option. The little tiny teeny weensy thing that could possibly be improved is if they had non-frozen fresh ground beef options so I could get mine rare. Other than that minutely small blip of desire... fast food perfection on a bun.

• Pros: Fast. Food is great. Price is right.
• Cons: No inside dining.

Great fast food burger

by s41e6 at Citysearch

They're the best of the fast food burger options. Flame grilled patty that actually tastes like beef, and fresh lettuce/tomato/onion/etc. You have a choice of seasoned (tastes similar to Arby's curly) or cross-cut (similar to Chick-Fil-A) for fries. The standard size of fries for the combo is on the small side. This location does not have indoor seating.

• Pros: Great taste
• Cons: No indoor seating

The best fast food choice

by samirella at Citysearch

Ah, such a refreshing change from the greasy soy burgers that get served at most fast food chains. The selection is great and the prices are resonable. The quality is that of a sit down restaurant with the value and convenience of fast food.

Thumbs Up - Recommended

by mitsuvr4 at Citysearch

This place is a giant step up from any fast food chain. It's equal to the restaurant chains like Fridays, etc - except you don't pay their prices. I find their prices are resonable - you can't expect to get quality meat & pay nothing extra. They have many optional toppings(unlike chains where the choice is cheese or no cheese). So you don't have to have the same burger over & over. I go to the one on OBT around the FL MALL. They have in door seating and serve your food after you placed & payed for your order at the counter. You just get your drinks from the fountain and sit down and wait just a few minutes.

• Pros: LOW CARB options, Plenty of toppings

This Mississippi-born fast-food chain aims to bring the nostalgic flavor of back-yard barbecues to the masses.

The Scene

A box with two car lanes and a window for pedestrians. There's nothing but outdoor seating--seven concrete table-and-bench combos under tilted metal umbrellas.

The Food

Assembled to order off a six-foot grill, or at least hot out of the holding pan. Owner Sherry High says the franchise never pre-cooks or pre-packs; it anticipates demand based on projection charts. Third-of-a-pound burgers have a satisfyingly crunchy edge, and quarter-pound chicken breasts retain plenty of moisture beneath their stripes. Order one of the specialty burgers, such as the Black Jack (with pepper jack cheese and Creole mayonnaise), and seasoned fries. For a leaner alternative, try a skinless, boneless chicken sandwich, blackened or Hawaiian (with a grilled pineapple ring). Jeers on the wimpy buns. And the cobbler: although it's baked fresh daily, Sunday's apple came up mostly crust. Service is faster than an E-Pass.
