WELCOME TO OUR BACKYARD.
Our Story
The idea of the Backyard Spice Company has been marinating for years. Decades of cookouts and barbecue with our friends and family allowed us to enjoy time together and perfect our flavors. We wanted to find a way to bring a little of our backyard to yours.
We use hand selected, natural ingredients to provide the best flavor and the highest quality of seasonings. With aromatics and spices that boost the flavor of your favorite meats, vegetables and side dishes.
We have a passion for making the tastiest menu imaginable. Whether it's a savory rack of smoked ribs, grilled vegetables or fresh from the water seafood; Backyard Spice is dedicated to making every bite flavorful.
Welcome to our Backyard. We're happy you're here.
Our Flavors
Simple. Balanced. Legendary
SPOG — short for Salt, Pepper, Onion, and Garlic — is the foundation of every great cookout. It's your go-to blend for honest, all-purpose flavor that belongs on just about everything.
We use a perfect balance of flaked sea salt, cracked black pepper, granulated garlic, and onion — nothing else, no fillers, no gimmicks. The salt hits first, unlocking flavor; the pepper brings the bite; the garlic and onion tie it all together with that warm, savory backbone chefs crave.
Use it solo for clean, confident seasoning — or layer it as your base before adding other Backyard Spice Company blends.
Savory · Bold · Clean · Balanced
Perfect For:
Steaks, burgers, chicken, pork, and seafood
Roasted vegetables and potatoes
Eggs, soups, sauces, and marinades
A base layer before using any Backyard Spice blend
House Tip:
Apply SPOG generously before cooking. For steaks, pat it in and let it rest at room temperature for 30–45 minutes before grilling. The salt draws moisture out and back in, seasoning the meat from the inside out.
Ingredients:
Flake sea salt, cracked black pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion. No MSG. No anti-caking agents. No fillers.
Sizes:
Available in Small, Medium, and Large
Pairs Well With:
Pairs great with Rubbin Racks as a base layer for brisket and ribs.
Built for chicken. Bold enough for everything else.
Poultry Polish is our go-to blend for anyone who wants golden, flavorful results without overthinking it. We designed it around chicken — but once you taste it on vegetables, mix it into a dip, or shake it into a salad dressing, you'll realize it was made for everything.
The blend hits with bright herby aromatics up front, balanced with savory garlic and onion, and finished with just enough pepper to keep things interesting. It seasons deeply without overpowering — letting the natural flavor of your food shine through with a polish that makes every bite memorable.
Flavor Profile: Herby · Savory · Bright · Balanced
Perfect For:
Grilled or smoked chicken thighs, breasts, and wings
Whole roasted chicken and turkey
Grilled salmon and white fish
Roasted or grilled vegetables
Mixed into cream cheese or sour cream for a quick dip
Shaken into salad dressings and marinades
Sprinkled over eggs or avocado toast
House Tip: Apply Poultry Polish generously and let it sit for at least an hour before cooking — overnight in the fridge is even better. The salt works into the meat, the aromatics bloom, and what comes off the grill is something special.
Ingredients: Salt, garlic, onion, pepper, herbs and spices. No MSG. No fillers. No anti-caking agents.
Built for the long haul. Earthy up front. Heat in the back.
Rubbin Racks was born from a simple mission — create the perfect BBQ rub for ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. We went to the drawing board knowing exactly what we wanted: smoky, sweet, well-balanced, and a heat that builds slow instead of hitting hard.
Three tries and a lot of ribs later, we got it right.
"Very flavorful and well balanced." — Scott Fischer, Former MasterChef
That's the standard we hold every batch to. Earthy from the first bite, with a tickle of heat that lingers in the back — Rubbin Racks builds a bark that makes people stop mid-conversation to ask what you put on that.
Flavor Profile: Smoky · Earthy · Sweet · Bold · Slow Heat
Perfect For:
Baby back ribs and spare ribs (3-2-1 method)
Brisket — overnight rub for maximum bark
Pulled pork shoulder
Smoked chicken wings
Grilled steak and burgers
Smoked meatloaf
House Tip: Layer Rubbin Racks with our Coffee Rub for brisket — the coffee adds depth and helps form an even darker bark. Apply both the night before and let the rub do the work while you sleep.
Available in 3 oz, 9.5 oz, and 23 oz — because serious grillers don't run out mid-cook.
Ingredients: Salt, paprika, brown sugar, garlic, onion, black pepper, spices. No MSG. No fillers.
