Sunday Dinner at the Backyard Steak Pit

Sunday is a pretty good excuse to slow down, enjoy a great meal, and let us do the cooking.

But before you even make it inside, take a look around! Our incredibly beautiful Petunia baskets and that HUGE Hydrangea tree are putting on quite a show.

We take pride in making a great first impression—just as much as we take pride in the meals we grill. From the flowers out front to the steaks sizzling over our real charcoal pit, we believe the details matter.

So come hungry, come thirsty, and come enjoy a little Sunday supper-club tradition at the Backyard Steak Pit.

Beautiful outside. Delicious inside since 1985 🥩🍸🔥

Sunday calls for a proper supper club dinner and we're here for it!
And yes...our renowned Prime Rib is on the menu tonight!
Unlike so many steak houses that only offer Prime Rib once a week, we believe you shouldn't have to wait for a certain day to enjoy it.

Prime Rib Tonight. Prime Rib Tomorrow. Prime Rib every day.

Thats just how we do it!

Come hungry. Leave happy.
Doors open at 4pm sharp!
