Backyard Social 1914 North Killingsworth Street, Portland, OR 97217

"We had Sunday Brunch at Backyard Social today and it was a great experience. The variety of dishes- Vegan Hash, Shakshuka, Chilaquiles, and Blood Orange Polenta cake were all so delicious and flavorful. Our cocktail's - Bloody Mary and Carrot margarita were the perfect complement to our brunch. The service was excellent as well. I highly recommend Backyard Social- we will be back!"

"I just got done having brunch at Backyard Social for the first time and I am a fan! The hubby and I have been wanting a solid brunch/breakfast place in the neighborhood ever since Beaterville Cafe went under and turned into a dispensary. I will say that Backyard Social is ALMOST this place for us now. My only hang up is that is is not the most veggie friendly place for brunch. They currently have a vegan hash on the menu that was fantastic! I added the eggs to this dish to get some protein and egg yumminess. Besides this dish I suppose I could get a breakfast sandwich without meat or alter another dish. My hubby got the steak end eggs dish and was quite pleased with it. He noted that the steak was of better quality than most other breakfast spots we have been to. I had a bloody maria, which is my brunch go-to. I rate this one very highly at a 9/10 on my scale! I did not need to add spice to the drink and flavors were really great and very well balanced. It also comes in a pineapple shaped glass and with an assortment of pickled items including a purple garlic, carrot, and A MANGO!!! I could not place the mango when I ate it, but it made sense when the server told me what it was. Interesting addition to this classic brunch drink!! The service is always great here and I'm glad they have added this new brunch option! We really needed this in the neighborhood!"

"This place might have the best chicken wings I've ever eaten. Service was good, and beer selection was not too shaby. I like that you can order 12oz or 16oz versions of everything on tap. I still haven't ventured into the wine bar, but it looks promising."

"Not exactly sure what happened to this place, but it has definitely gone downhill. There were two other tables (2 top and 4 top), we opted to dine outside because smells from the kitchen were strong. 50 minutes to get our order, drinks, deviled eggs, and salad. 15 minutes after that to get our burgers (burnt on the outside, raw on the inside). The server came by once, not to ask how things were but to ask if we wanted to order anything else."

"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!"
