The Backyard Bar & Restaurant - Hillcrest

Love the atmosphere. Friendly staff and good customer service. Happy hours finish at 6pm but the lovely waitress took our order at 6pm with special price. A bit disappointed with the steak and the ribs.

Great Steak, veggies and Truffle Mash. Garlic butter or Jus equally great. Would not hesitate to recommend this dish.

Easy going staff and atmosphere. Children friendly with large grass, playground, pool and pool table. Pool is in middle of outside area so it's easy to supervise.

We got nacho’s, jalapeño bites, and Korean fried chicken. The nacho chips were stale. Food was over cooked/ extremely dry. We went to watch the game. Unfortunately the projector kept going blank and cutting out which isn’t ideal with a live game. Not a great experience. Has really gone downhill since we used to come regularly (3-4 years ago).

A little slow to get table service, but once we did, fantastic service and very accommodating, especially with children. Seriously though...huge need to replace seat coverings in booths! Very unattractive and unpleasant to sit on.

Went to the backyard last night with a group of mates and had a great time. Super friendly waitress who made amazing recommendations about the food and drink. Sat in a cute outdoor area and enjoyed some tasty frozen cocktails. Will definitely be back again. Thanks :)

A really nice team of people who show a strong dedication to ensure things run as smoothly as possible in today's challenging environment. They also make a strong effort to know their customers. Good food, big screen and great staff.

Took a couple friends here for lunch. Easy location just off the motorway with ample parking nearby. Table was reserved thanks to our booking but the place wasn't too busy on a public holiday. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. First up we ordered some peach mocktails which were garnished with mint, sweet tasty and delicious. One of the group ordered a tap beer and it was chilled and well poured. The kids chicken pasta dish looked and smelled delicious and the child said it was cheesey and yum. The loaded wedges were stacked on a melted cheese base, covered in bacon and seasonings and topped with a generous serving of sour cream. Would be enough for a main or to share as a side between 4. The other chips and curly fries were so good and came with aioli and were big servings as well. I got the goddess salad which was fresh and came with watermelon cubes (yum) and a tasty vinaigrette. I ordered the salad as is (with the feta) for the photo but my friends happy added the feta to their loaded wedges. I also ordered the chargrilled broccollini which was so yummy, El dente if that can even be a term for vegetables and the slightly spicey sauce on the edge of the plate was a nice touch. My friends ordered the beef burger and said the patty was so tasty and delicious - highly recommended. The meat pizza had fresh toppings, crispy base and the cheeses were tasty. For dessert - the selection of sorbet was super sweet. The peach layer on the bottom was our favorite. Nice touch with the pistachio crumb topping. The sizzling brownie was definitely an exciting display and although tasted yummy, would suggest requesting the ice-cream on the side rather than on the hot plate. Enjoyed a couple friendly games of pool before we left. Good music (the classics) and good vibes. My friends are already planning their return visit.
