Backyard Ale House - Scranton

This place has been a mandatory stop for the past 3 years. I drove from Florida up to Connecticut, and made sure I stopped at Backyard just to be in this little slice of Heaven. The beer list is endless, the food is superb, the staff is knowledgeable and extremely friendly, and the atmosphere reminds me of returning home. This location is very hospitable, and I've recommended it to everyone I come across if they're traveling within the Scranton area.

Great place service .... Jeff Thaz were the best!!!..

Tonight was not my first night at the Backyard Ale House, but it WAS my first time having their food. The sandwich I had was REALLY good...like to the point where i had to put down my sandwich and text my friends and tell them how good it was. I had the Midtown Melt and the Strawberry Lager. The service was really quick as well. My friend and I went to the Backyard Ale House around 6:30pm before we saw Kinky Boots just around the corner at the Scranton Cultural Center at 8pm. We were in and out in about an hour give or take, without even telling them we were in a semi-rush to catch the show. We didn’t need to. The service was THAT good. I’ll definitely be back :

This is my 3rd time here for Sunday Brunch and I am not disappointed. The omelette does not even fit on the plate and the home fries are once again perfect. The Bloodys are the best around. I had three. The atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and relaxed. The service is friendly and attentive. You don't get one waiter you get a Team. They all work together making sure your desires are met. Alternatives were suggested and made to accommodate the uncommon food allergy of my friend. Joe remembered me from my prior visit and offered the same beverage. I thought this was remarkable. Kuddos to Zack and Allie as well.

Awesome vibe inside. Great selection of beers, drinks, and nice pub food menu. Good bbq which is smoked daily. Fantastic onion soup. Hot garlic wing sauce was good. Great service.
