    About Back Yard Burgers

    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.

    About Negril Eatery

    Currently, there are three locations and an express style restaurant that sit adjacent to the Silver Spring, MD store. Negril Eatery locations offer a limited menu, which translates into simplified operations. Patties, pastries and rotis are expertly prepared in the Negril central commissary, located in Laurel, MD which then distributes them frozen to all Negril Eatery locations where they are baked off and offered as freshly baked. With the popularity of the restaurant and the Express, Earl seeks to expand his business and take a taste of his homeland food to the world. At Negril Systems, Inc., we are seeking franchisees who are dynamic, motivated, and self starting, who want to take charge of their future.
