They served a buffet for all the winners and guests that included pasta, pizza, and wings. Although I usually don't like wings, I was feeling quite hungry, so I decided to try some. I ended up regretting not taking more because they were absolutely delicious! They weren't too spicy, and the sauce had a mild flavor that I really enjoyed. The pizza was also excellent. I would definitely make an effort to dine there again. Five stars!

The service was impeccable, and the food was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend the Banjo Pig; it was so generous that I couldn't finish it all. We will definitely be returning!

I drove from Florida up to Connecticut, and made sure I stopped at Backyard just to be in this little slice of Heaven. The beer list is endless, the food is superb, the staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly, and the atmosphere reminds me of returning home. This location is very hospitable, and I've recommended it to everyone I come across if they're traveling within the Scranton area.
