Back Yard Burgers opened their first restaurant in Cleveland, Mississippi on March 21, 1987, and began franchising less than a year later, in February 1988, as a result of our own success and also from a demand for Back Yard Burgers franchises by many who tried our delicious product. Today, corporate headquarters are located in Memphis Tennessee, and 150 Back Yard Burgers restaurants operate in 18 states. Our unique menu, our personnel's commitment and dedication, and our premium fast-casual approach allow us to outclass traditional fast food restaurants. Our Back Yard Burgers mission is clear: Our team guarantees the highest degree of service and the best tasting food in a pleasant atmosphere, every day for every guest. Our vision is that as a team, we provide the ultimate restaurant experience to our guests.
