Flavor-forward Jamaican comfort food with standout jerk and oxtails, best for takeout; expect occasional service hiccups and variable wait times.
Back A Yard delivers exceptional jerk chicken, oxtails, and curry goat with bold, home-style Jamaican flavors that earn a loyal following. However, inconsistent execution—occasional dry chicken and tough oxtails—combined with isolated but serious undercooked complaints and variable service warmth prevent a higher grade. Fair pricing and generous portions are genuine strengths, but reliability gaps keep this solid neighborhood spot from reaching grade A territory.
One caveat: Service inconsistency: reports of rude cashiers and refund delays, though others find staff helpful
