Looking to add some Caribbean flair to your Thanksgiving this year? Look no further than BackAYard Caribbean Grill in Campbell, California. This local favorite is serving up a unique twist on the traditional turkey dinner that’ll have you saying, “Pass the jerk sauce” instead of “More gravy, please.”
A Taste of the Islands in Silicon Valley
BackAYard Caribbean Grill isn’t your average turkey joint. Located at 1740 S Winchester Blvd in Campbell, this eatery brings the flavors of the Caribbean to the heart of Silicon Valley. And for Thanksgiving 2024, they’re pulling out all the stops to give your taste buds a vacation without leaving the Bay Area.
The Main Event: Jerk Turkey, Mon!
Forget the bland, dry turkey of Thanksgivings past. BackAYard offers a 14-16 lb Jamaican-style juicy Jerk Turkey that’ll make you wonder why you ever settled for plain old roasted bird. This turkey has all the fixings, including jerk pan gravy, jerk sauce, and cranberry sauce. It’s like your regular Thanksgiving turkey decided to take a trip to Jamaica and returned with a tan and a new attitude.
Sides That Steal the Show
But wait, there’s more! Your jerk turkey won’t be lonely on the plate. BackAYard’s Thanksgiving package includes turkey dressing, which is so good you might forget about the turkey altogether. And instead of plain old mashed potatoes, you’ll get rice and beans that’ll transport you straight to the Caribbean.
Options for Every Appetite
Not feeling a whole turkey? No problem, mon! BackAYard offers half-turkey packages for smaller gatherings or those who just can’t handle that much poultry. They’ve even got vegetarian options because nobody should miss out on a Caribbean Thanksgiving, not even your plant-loving cousin.
Take the Stress Out of Thanksgiving
Here’s the best part: you can enjoy all this Caribbean Thanksgiving goodness without lifting a finger in your kitchen. BackAYard’s scratch-made Thanksgiving meals are now available for pre-order. They offer hot and ready-to-serve packages and chilled packages for those who like to do the final heating themselves (and maybe take credit for the cooking, we won’t tell).
More Than Just Turkey
While the jerk turkey is the show’s star, BackAYard hasn’t forgotten dessert. They’re offering a selection of Caribbean-inspired sweets that’ll make you forget all about pumpkin pie. And if you’re looking to spice up your own cooking, they have a delicious array of popular hot sauces available at the restaurant.
A Thanksgiving to Remember
Imagine the looks on your family’s faces when you show up with a jerk turkey instead of the same old roasted bird. You’ll be the talk of the town (or at least your family group chat) for weeks. And the best part? You can tell everyone you slaved away in the kitchen all day when really you just picked up your feast from BackAYard.
Plan Ahead
Before you get too excited and start practicing your Caribbean accent, remember that these Thanksgiving packages are popular. Pre-ordering is a must, so don’t wait until the last minute. The last thing you want is to show up on Thanksgiving Day only to find out they’re sold out of jerk turkey.
Not Just for Thanksgiving
Can’t make it for Thanksgiving? Don’t worry. BackAYard Caribbean Grill is open year-round and serves delicious Caribbean and American food. There’s something for everyone, from their signature Jerk Chicken & Beef Oxtail Plate to Curried Goat and Vegetarian Jerk Tofu.
Location and Hours
BackAYard Caribbean Grill is at 1740 S Winchester Blvd, Campbell, CA 95008. It’s open Tuesday through Sunday, but hours may vary during the holiday season, so it’s best to check its website or give it a call before heading over.
The BackAYard Experience
The name “Back A Yard” is a common term in the Caribbean that represents the lifestyle, culture, spirit, food, and vibe of welcoming visitors to your home. It’s like saying “the way things are done back home.” And that’s exactly what you’ll get at BackAYard Caribbean Grill – a warm welcome and a taste of the Caribbean right in the heart of Campbell.
So, this Thanksgiving, why not shake things up a bit? Trade in your pilgrim hat for a Caribbean shirt, swap the pumpkin pie for some Jamaican-spiced buns and let BackAYard Caribbean Grill cook. Your taste buds (and your stress levels) will thank you.
And hey, this Caribbean Thanksgiving feast is included in our Thanksgiving Guide 2024. So you know it’s going to be good, mon!
