Back A Yard Caribbean Grill

Opens Monday at 11:00 AM

Belle Haven, Menlo Park

"some of the best grilled chicken I've ever had"
"Oxtails were perfect. Plantains...perfection"
Mostly takeout — seating is super limited

It's in a strip mall next to a laundromat, but chef Robert Simpson trained in Jamaica and the jerk chicken proves it. The 16-seat dining room and patio fill up fast, so savvy locals grab takeout and let those oxtails and plantains work their magic at home.
