You might call Backyard Grill a family-friendly restaurant with entrees for Cajun-minded grownups and spice-shy kids alike. You might call it a rowdy sports bar where fans can cheer on their favorite teams every Sunday—even if those teams are from far afield. You'd be right either way. A menu that draws on pan-American traditions features spicy jambalaya in a creole cream sauce alongside sweet and savory Hawaiian pizza and a fajita menu as long as your arm. Meanwhile, the outdoor patio that lends the restaurant its name offers covered and uncovered dining areas so you never need to worry about getting sunlight in your black coffee.
