The backyard bayou is one my favorite places to eat at to grab seafood boils , wings and crab fries. I have been eating here for some years now. Typically they are busy on the weekends. I always go to the movies at Century 25 ,then go get food after. The restaurant has a good vibe and the customer service is good ,I have no complaints . The food is always fresh and served hot! Which I love. The food also has good flavor and seasoning yum! They have a bar inside and they serve good drinks as well. So if you want some good seafood, bomb crab fries , good drink and wings this is the place to go !!

We felt like having some southern food today and so we came across the backyard bayou. We were greeted by a really nice young gentleman and engaged in really nice conversation. He gave us a lot of time and suggestions of what we can order.

The food was so good, the Henny Margarita was even better hands down the best one. I got a family boil, wish it had more King crab but overall a great buy. The Cajun Garlic fries were perfect.

I loved this place, plain and simple. The only reason I gave 4 stars on atmosphere is that the place is small and felt a bit cramped for the servers. The food is outstanding, the service was fantastic, the menu is diverse and I wanted to order everything. I truly had so much trouble deciding that I ordered 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, and 2 sides…all for myself and all of which I’d order again. There wasn’t one thing that landed on our table that wasn’t great. Excellent place to enjoy an informal dining experience, great place to go with family and friends.

Glad to be back to this place! It used to be my favorite when I policed in Fremont. The food is still good. Service is ok. Kinda easy tip based earning for the servers compare to what they have to do for us, but I tipped 20% anyway.

Nastiest seafood boil I ever had in my life!! I had the seafood boil backyard buyou style! The sauce was very watery and very salty if you do come here I recommend getting sides the chicken wings and fried shrimp was delicious but that seafood boil was disgusting!!!!!! No garlic or onion! No real flavor just lots of seasoning!!!!

The Food, Service and atmosphere was Great. Customer service from the moment we walked in was superior. Our waitress also recommended a few items and answered all our questions. Backyard Bayou most definitely can get my money again.
