Back Yard Burgers in Marion. Home of the fresh, flame-grilled 1/3 pound burger, the Grilled Hawaiian
Chicken Sandwich, Specialty Salads, and don't forget the Back Yard Chili! What started as a premium quality burger sold in a grocery store in Cleveland, Mississippi in 1987 quickly caught fire. Lattimore “Lattie” Michael realized he had a recipe for success and thus opened the first Back Yard Burgers drive-thru restaurant. Customers flocked to it, eating up the fresh-grilled burgers, great conversation and the neighborly feel that reminded them of their backyard cookouts. A year later, Back Yard Burgers opened up in Tennessee and Florida. And the rest is delicious history.
