Back A Yard Caribbean Grill

My first time here after hearing about it for years. My friend whose family is from the Caribbean said this place gives him a taste of home. The food was absolutely amazing. Oxtail platter was incredible. The oxtail is very rich and buttery and the meat is tender and flavorful. It's served with rice and plantains which are also to die for. The meat patty is a must have too. The jerk chicken is also amazing with a great Smokey flavor. I can't wait to come back. The host Carmen was very sweet and made sure we were enjoying our meal. The restaurant was very neat and clean. This is one of my new favorite spots in South Bay.

We love this place. Discovered its existence during the pandemic and we've frequented ever since. But I have one complaint: when ordering to go, they put the side of coleslaw in the box with the hot food and it gets warm and soggy. And yes, I've asked them not to do it when ordering but they still do.Oh, and you're crazy if you don't try the ox tails at least once. Bomb!

Friend brought me here for dinner on a Friday night after pickleball. Pretty straightforward menu and I ended up getting the oxtail plate. Price: average for South Bay, $19 with tax.Ordering: order at front and find a table after, they will bring to you. Crowd: lots of seating and while not empty, not particularly crowded either.Food: the oxtail was so tender and was very yummy. the rice was a tad too soft for my preference, but ok. the fried plantains were super yummy and very sweet which was a nice switch up. Overall it was good, but I think the textures were too soft, I needed something else that had a firmer texture. In general though, I would come back after a pickleball session due to proximity to the Hub, plus no crowds and service was fast.

This place is under stated and our food was delicious, & found it also to be a fantastic deal - first time here- our inspiration was to support black owned businesses, so the gals & I were pleased to be a little different & try this place out. Had Tuesday's special: flavorful Curry Chicken w carrots & potatoes and sides- rice & beans,& plantains, a pork rib BBQ plate and a BBQ chicken salad bowl. We sure enjoyed the meal and took home ample leftovers,too! Will definitely be back

We've enjoyed Back a Yard for many years from their San Jose location, including Thanksgiving Jerk Turkey.We were so surprisingly disappointed with our dinner tonight. We ordered 4 dishes from the Campbell location for my son's birthday, (2 jerk pork and salmon, jerk white meat chicken, and jerk chicken and salmon).All of the proteins were overcooked and dry, and the jerk chicken and the 3oz portion of salmon was pretty much inedible and similar amount of chicken was also dry/burnt (see pics for reference).Hopefully, this was a bad night for Back a Yard Campbell, but we expect better for a $124 meal for four...

Usually get the beef oxtail combos! I had such delightful pleasant service from Carmen who was helpful in choosing which sauces that pair well with my plate, I've gotten Beef oxtail and salmon as well as tried their chicken but ultimately I usually prefer to stick with an all oxtail plate. They have comfortable booths inside as well for you to enjoy your food!

Had a chance to try Back A Yard a while back and I absolutely love this place. If you are looking for delicious Jamaican food this is a great spot for you. The food here is hearty and tasty.My favorite item to order here is the oxtail which comes with rice/beans and plantains. I loved that the oxtail is fatty and fall off the bone, and the curry it comes with goes perfectly with the rice. The plantain adds a nice hint of sweetness.Overall, would come back - service is always top notch, ambiance is nice - but I do prefer most times to take home and eat it with my favorite tv show!

One of my favorites places to eat at! The service is great and the food is absolutely delicious! The ambiance is nice and very welcoming. We got the akee fish and cod and it's one of our favorites dishes to get. The akee fruit is soft and goes well with the fish. The jerk pork was also delicious and savory. The sauces that come with the dishes are spicy and yummy.

I had dinner for the first time here, it was delicious. I had the jerk chicken and salmon combo. It was really flavorful, the salmon was cooked perfectly and the chicken was moist and tender. I also tried the chicken wings... they were crispy and delicious. They come with a hot sauce dipping sauce which made them taste so good! The fried plantain was ok and the rice was good.I will definitely eat here again. Definitely worth the try.

First time trying this location. I ordered the jerk chicken yard plate that came with rice and beans and plantains, and a side of cornbread. The jerk chicken was awesome and had great flavor and the jerk sauce was on point. The rice & beans were okay, but the cornbread was amazing and was delicious. I can't wait to come back.
