BackYard Murphy

I really wanted to like this place and drove all the way out to Murphy to try it based on reviews. Sadly, it was just plain bad. The food here is frozen, reheated, and overpriced. You’re getting bargain food served at room temperature, and paying premium prices. We tried a little bit of everything and here are the descriptions: brisket queso- served COLD, lumpy texture, does not resemble any cheese product in any way, topped with cloyingly sweet meat & bbq sauce, and very greasy chips. Tacos- fell apart, served room temperature, we did enjoy the cabbage topping. Ribs- terrible, cold, tough, and overly sweet (tasted like candied bacon). Green beans- good. Fries- awful, soggy, flavorless. And if you order coffee- the white liquid they bring which resembles cream/milk, is in fact some sort of coffeemate- like super-sweet, flavored liquid as we found out the hard way. Two stars because there were many GF options and the people seem nice, but if you like good, or even fresh food you will want to skip this place. Looks like a fun atmosphere for little kids if you have them- unfortunately, the bathrooms are a reflection of this.

I had the pulled pork tacos with safe, sweet potato fries & they were delicious! A very nice outing which I don’t do often since I have many food intolerances as well. The food was very good & the only glutenous food in the restaurant are the buns for the burgers. They offer GF buns & lettuce wrapped burgers.

This place is INCREDIBLE! The owner is kind and makes GF recipes specifically to taste better than non gluten free- including the brownie for dessert! I can’t recommend the brisket queso enough either, or the adorable backyard area with yard games. Don’t forget to try their backyard margarita- one if my favorites.

Almost everything here can be made gluten free. The owners wife has Celiac so they are very aware of what they offer and how to keep you safe. The food is delicious and they have a wonderful family friendly outdoor patio with games, picnic tables, and live music several nights a week.

DELICIOUS! Met the owner and he is super nice. He explained what was and was not gluten-free (everything can be made gluten free). We had the fried potato skins, brisket tacos, and decided to try both the turtle and pumpkin cheesecake. Excited to come back here with the rest of the family. They also let me see the brunch menu and they have gluten-free waffles!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The owners wife has celiac disease so they’re very familIar with all things gluten free! They do have normal buns but they’re prepared separately. Fries have their own fryer. Nearly everything can be gluten free if it’s not already.

Their food was so good. We did not try the gluten free bun but have heard good things.

They have delicious cocktails, live music, and friendly staff
