Back Yard Burgers is a publicly owned American fast food chain. Back Yard Burgers differentiates itself from other fast food companies by making their hamburgers with 100% Black Angus Beef. Furthermore, customers can opt for salad, baked potatoes, or chili instead of French fries. If straight up beef burgers are not a customer’s favorite, they can always try the turkey burgers, chicken sandwiches, or garden burgers as an alternative. Diners can then finish off their meal with a tasty dessert – either a milkshake or root beer float, or even a fresh-baked cobbler featuring a berry of their choice.
