    We went early for the haunted circus - the Ohio game was on - which was a bonus as we have an Ohio fan in our group (but just know if you are going during football games that’s what you are going to see/hear). I felt bad as I think the rain maybe hindered their Halloween party - but it was so much fun and Sedona Red band was amazing!! We also saw they have dueling pianos on Wednesdays - so think that’s on the plan soon!!

    Forgot to leave review the following day. Took my family here and we waited 45 mins and no one came and even took our drink order. Seemed like they were understaffed and I can understand that, but just don’t take my reservation if you can’t provide service. First time that has happened here so hopefully just an off night for Backyard Gilbert.

    Thank you for sharing this with us. We’re sorry your visit fell short, especially after waiting so long without being greeted or having a drink order taken. We appreciate your understanding and also your note that this hasn’t been your usual experience with us. We’ll be sharing your feedback with our team and hope your next visit feels much more like the Backyard Gilbert experience you’ve come to expect.

    We went on a Tuesday for trivia. According to Game Nights site, it should have been general trivia and not Bingo, but that's fine. We did struggle with the volume the DJ had music. There were maybe 30 ppl including families and dogs in the restaurant. The volume was ridiculous and we couldn't speak to ppl sitting with us at our table. We asked our wait staff if it could turn down multiple times. Our bill was nearly $200 before tip for 1 house margarita, 5 domestic beers, 1 iced tea, 12 wings, a salad, a burger, 1 personal pizza and some overcooked potato skins. That's $33 a person before tip and 2 of our party only had water. Everyone actually left still hungry. I want to love this place - but I left with a headache, a rumbling tummy and a much lighter wallet.

    Service was extremely slow! Took more than 10 minutes for a server to come to our table. We only saw her maybe 3x the whole time. Food was to be desired

    Love the big screens that we were hoping to watch March madness games on. Very unruy kids unsupervised. Throwing wet paper towels at each other and jumping off outdoor tables.:( it’s not kids being kids. It’s unsupervised in an adult sports watching atmosphere. Not okay. Everyone noticed. I’ll go elsewhere for sure.
