The Backyard BBQ BBQ Menu has a story that sizzles as much as its smoked meats. Founded in 1999 by pitmaster brothers Jake and Tom Miller in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, Backyard BBQ began as a small family joint known for its wood-fired ribs and homemade sauces. Word of mouth spread fast, and soon the smoky aroma drew crowds from every corner of town. In the long run, the restaurant expanded to multiple locations while keeping its backyard-style charm intact.
What made Backyard BBQ truly special was its evolving menu — packed with slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, and tender chicken, alongside a few “off-menu” surprises for loyal fans who knew what to ask for.
Though the brand has grown, its legendary Hickory-Smoked Ribs, the very dish that started it all, remain the soul of the place. Hidden gems on the secret menu keep die-hard BBQ lovers coming back for more.
