The James Logan Courier

By Mark Godoy, Courier Staff Writer

Backyard Boiler opened last week. It is located in Union Landing right by Starbucks and Lucky's. The restaurant is based on seafood and a quick alcoholic beverage for those that are 21 and up. I decided to go to Backyard Boiler because many people were talking about the restaurant and how it is based on a primarily seafood cuisine, which is something that most restaurants in the area don't offer. The owner decided to change the restaurant from it's previous focus, Tuttimelon Yogurt, because Union City did not have a seafood based restaurant.

The seafood menu includes crab, crawfish, shrimp, and clams seasoned with mainly Cajun flavors. Another flavor you could get at Backyard Boiler is Garlic Butter. With great sides like Cajun fries and wings to go along with it.
