Morley's Backyard

We were in town for a lecture at Centre College and just wanted a casual place for a quick dinner that wasn’t a franchise. We parked down town and walked over. It has a bit of a dive feeling, but the staff and customers were great. There were a few families in the back with kids and everyone seemed polite and respectful of each other. The place talks about being dog friendly and though we didn’t dine with any that evening, it was obvious they were welcome. Food was great; they could use a couple things less meat centric for the couples who want something lighter or less meat focused, but the grilled cheese was great and the staff used what they had to accommodate. We’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.

You will not find a better vibe at any other spot in Danville. Also, if you haven't already been to one of Morley's annual all-you-can-eat craw fish boils, when you do...yall never miss another! Just come hungry (& thirsty).

Fantastic Family Fun and Food! Morley's is a family-friendly restaurant and sports bar. You can go hang out and play games, make stores by a fire pit, watch sports, listen to local live bands, and...eat! Morley has it all, what a brilliant idea. Now all the food we tried was fantastic. I love that they source their meat from local clean farms. But what I want to brag about the most is the pork...any and all of the pork options...we're FANTASTIC!!! Like drooling, lick your plate, delicious. This place is 100% a recommend.

I love Morley's! I have been here 5-6 times over the last 6 months or so, and every experience has been a good one. The service is always top-notch. I don't know any of the staff by name, but I have never been served without a good personal interaction, whether that be a joke or just some information about a beer they're serving. The bartenders are very attentive and quick to serve, and they know about what they're serving. The atmosphere is great! The bar and dining area are open to the outside, so it can get a little toasty, but they have fans. Also, having the front and back of the building open allows for good airflow. It may get a little warm, but it's never stale or stuffy. Also, there is a LOT of outdoor seating. The "backyard" portion of Morley's Backyard is really nice.

Dropped in for a quick bite before we headed to the outdoor show under the stars at Pioneer Playhouse. Our food was fabulous. Drinks were excellent as well. Morleys always has a good vibe.
