A new cookout spot has opened for business in South Boston. Located at 170 W. Broadway, the fresh arrival is called Backyard Betty's, and comes courtesy of the owners of Southie's Publico Street Bistro & Garden
The restaurant uses its wood-fired grill, rotisserie and smoker to create meat dishes like smoked ham, spit-roasted chicken, Nashville-style hot chicken and a range of burgers. Its comfort-food sides, on the other hand, are all vegetarian and include potato salad, grilled corn and slaw.
Diners can also opt for beer, wine and cocktails.
With a 4.5-star rating out of 12 reviews on Yelp so far, the newcomer is on its way to developing a local fan base.
Michael H., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on May 30, said, "Love the concept — all the backyard barbecue favorites you know and like, except way better than what you/your friends make yourself!"
And Rachel D. said, "Obsessed with Backyard Betty's! Cool vibe, not your typical super-young Southie crowd, awesome food & fun cocktails. I'll be there all summer for sure."
Swing on by to take a peek for yourself: Backyard Betty's is open from 4 p.m.–1 a.m. daily.
