School might be starting but it is still VERY much Summer here in San Diego, CA. In fact, I think it’s been hotter the last week or so than most of the rest of the Summer! The truth is that we usually BBQ all year round here in CA and the kids are used to seeing that. When we were asked to review the Little Tikes Backyard Barbecue Get Out ‘n’ Grill, I knew my youngest son would love it!
Ryan always loves pretending and “making food” for us so he couldn’t wait for me to put together the grill. Everything you need is included in the box (minus safety glasses, a rubber mallet & a screwdriver. I am always wearing safety glasses…cause I’m “Spectacled”, get it?!) and is easy to put together. Ryan watched me do it all and helped me to put the stickers on. The grill:
- Is just like a real grill with a dual grill, lid sink and side burner
- Has bottom cupboards that open up & all the food and tools can fit in there for easy pick up & storage!
- Has knobs & buttons that click and turn, just like on a real grill
- Comes with a pair of tongs, a spatula, 1 hamburger & bun, 1 hot dog & bun and 1 bottle of ketchup
The grill measures 24″L x 11″W x 28″H and is just under 10 lbs, making it easy to move it from Ryan’s bedroom, out to the living room or outside if he wants to play with it there. The grill is meant for kids 3+ and while Ryan is probably on the older range of kid’s that this grill is meant for, he still really likes playing it. Even my 10 year old daughter likes getting down on the ground with him & pretending to grill. Ryan likes serving me hot dogs, one of his favorite foods.

This set is sooo cute! I have a 2 yr old and I think she would love to pretend to cook out with Mommy and Daddy! I think my 4 yr old would enjoy it too!
The hotdog bun is so cute. My daughters will have a blast playing with this one because they love playing pretend. 🙂
I think this Little Tykes grill is amazing! So sturdy looking and detailed! I have a 19 month old granddaughter who loves to play in the kitchen, so I know she would love to have her own grill to put on the patio and she can cook with daddy <3
Is this grill cute or what?! I love the how all the food looks real and this grill looks very sterdy. My son would love grilling with his daddy on the deck.
This is adorable! My daughter loves to help my husband cook & with this she could be just like Daddy! Little Tikes makes the best toys!
This is adorable! I have 3 girls and just got my baby boy. Sadly I am lacking in boy toys at our house! This would be a great toy for him. Otherwise he just may be stuck with Barbies!
This is just so cute for the kids to do while their parents are out cooking on their grill. Now, they can do their own cooking and stay away from the hot grill. Love this and all the accessories it comes with, the realistic sound, etc.
i love this backyard bbq set.. My 6 year old daughter and 2 year old son would have a blast playing with this outside while we have our real bbq’s 🙂
I’ve had my eye on the Little Tikes Backyard Barbecue for some time now. I have a grandson that will be 4 and I think he will really like it. You can usually get a pretty good deal on the Little Tikes products on Amazon. I appreciate the informative review.
My two year old will fall over and die for this! Great review. Makes me feel like I’ve already played with it. Thanks for doing this!
This is such a cute food set! My son in law grills all the time and my grandson always wants to “help”. Now with this Grill he can help and grill at the same time as Daddy!
This is so cute! My boys have been wanting to bbq outside when daddy does so this would be awesome for them to have. I love how everything looks so real.
oh, I know some nieces and nephews that would adore this. Little Tykes are such nice quality items to have for kids very durable.
So cool looking. My son Wyatt would LoVe to have this.
Great giveaway. Thank you.
I absolutely LOVE Little Tikes and Fisher prices sets like this. I like how they come with everything and then sell other sets that would go along with it. My son has the Fisher Price table and I love how everything can fit inside it so that you can keep everything together…this is very similar in which it has a space below for everything to be stored together.
This Grill with a cupboard underneath to store supplies for grilling and a easy starter button is so cute I could leave it with my kids to grill and BBQ for themselves while I attend to other household chores.
The set is so cute. I would have loved to have had this growing up sure hope i win this one.
this is just adorable. not only is it fun for kids it helps them see how fun cooking is. little tikes has the best toys around and they are so durable.
What a cute set. A great toy for father/son bonding time. Little boys always want to be just like dad, this is a great toy to mimic being the man, like dad.
I love this grill. It is so realistic looking. It has a lot of the same things that Daddy’s grill has. My 3 yr old can mimic Daddy and feel like she is really grillin it up with him. She would love this!!! This really is awesome.
my girl friend has to little boys age 4 they are twins! there birthday is coming up this would be such a wonderful bday gift for them! there dayy loves to grill i could see them out there right along beside him!
My son is four he really wants one of these so he can BBQ for his big sister. He said he’d make her a cheeseburger w/ extra catsup just the way she likes daddy to grill for her on the big grill…
It’s a breath of fresh air to see this construction for children that will stir their inner creativity and imagination again. Even though today’s electronics serve it’s own purpose, it loses the ability to offer simple play and true interaction with others. Love the fact that it’s so realistic in its structure as well. Kids always want to emulate adults.
I love this set from Little Tikes! Both of my daughters would love getting to “grill” with their daddy. We grill so much in the summer it would be great to get them involved. Thanks for the great review!
All kids love to pretend and do what they see their parents doing, grilling is no different. I know that all of my kids would love to have this on deck near Dad and grill as he prepares dinner for them. What an awesome addition to any childs backyard fun..
Children will love to cook as we do. I love the extra storage in the bottom. The little sink is just a bonus! Great for year round because we grill year round, lol.
My kids love watching Mommy and Daddy bbq all summer long. They even pretend to bbq with us sometimes. I would love to be able to win this wonderful set for them to enjoy.
I love Little Tikes products and this backyard barbecue is the perfect set for my little grandson. He loves to help paw paw when it’s time to grill and now he can cook his own with this cute little set.
My son would absolutely love this, he’s such a daddy’s boy. I can see it now- Daddy grilling on the big grill and my son grilling on this. I love the sink, we could let him put water in it outside. It’s adorable!
LOL! Hi Tara K! It’s Tara C 🙂 I’m a single mom on disability after years of nursing who also recently this year ‘acquired’ the custody of my two precious little grandbabies due to an extremely violent domestic situation with their father. Needless to say it’s been an adjustment for all of us in every aspect, including financially, and researching frugal tips has become a necessary new ‘hobby’ of mine! lol What a blessing to have come across your page, along with your fellow blogging buds! My grandson can be found nightly in the kitchen next to my girlfriend helping her cook and loves to help…as much help as a 3 year old CAN help anyways! (Which, btw, is consistently way more than my 14 y/o son! lol) His 2 y/o sissy isn’t as fond of cooking – she’s the one who loves to EAT! I call her Diva Pudge! lol Due to their past circumstances they haven’t really developed as much of a sense of imagination as others their ages, but we’re working on it and seeing improvements daily. I’ve been trying to seek out items and toys that would help to inspire this and maybe light that spark… it was so coincidental that we had decided on a toy grill because of his love of cooking! Would definitely have to invest in a vanity table or toy salon for Miss Pudge tho!!! haha I had seen a couple different outdoor grills on line and at our local stores but they just seemed cheap & easily destructible, at a similar price or even higher than this Backyard Barbecue. How ironic that I happened across this tonight! The bright colors & realistic look of it immediately caught my eye. After reading your detailed description of the grill I instantly decided this is the one we will get for him, especially once I saw the very very reasonable price, and how much your little Ryan seemed to enjoy it! Thank you for your page and also for highlighting this product at just the perfect time that I needed to find it! Funny how things always seem to work out that way, right Tara? 🙂
this is the cutest thing ive seen in awhile!! Im in love with this set! I know my nephew would love this!!
This is adorable! I love the food and the unit itself. What a fun way to play with Grandpa while he burns the real food!
I love that the knobs turn. I also like that it comes with tongs. It will be a great toy for my nephew.
I would love to win this for my son. This looks to be some much fun, my son loves to pretend cook with whatever he can find whenever we are cooking dinner on the grill, this would be perfect and maybe he would leave our grill stuff alone if he had his own:)
My daughter has the little Tikes kitchen that we got her because she is a mini mommy and she loves to “cook” like me. This BBQ would be perfect for my son because he is a little Daddy’s boy and he could imitate his daddy and go out on the patio an “grill” with him 🙂 Thank you for this adorable giveaway!
Our child has a play kitchen she loves to play with inside, this grill would give her something to play with outside still related to cooking. The accessories that come with are unique to grilling and she does not have with her other cooking accessories already.
That is adorable! My nephew would totally love that.
Super cute! Your son is adorable & he looks very manly playing with the grill 😉 I’d love to see my own little man playing with this! Oh & that little side sink is cracking me up! My hubby wishes his grill had that. haha. Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway!
Awww, thanks Laura!
How cute! I’d love to win this! My younger two (ages 2 and 4) love playing with their kitchen set, the same kitchen set my older two (now 9 and 7) played with when they were 3 and 1. A barbecue like Dad’s? They’d be thrilled to find that under the Christmas tree!
This is very cute. My grandson would really enjoy playing with it. He likes to watch me grill all the time.
I love this! My brother-in-law loves to bbq so my 2 nieces love to play cook. I’d love to be able to give them something like this. They have a play room so when it wasn’t outside it’d be inside. I could just see my 5 yr old niece putting her herbs in her cooking.LOL!! I love watching them play,they’re so funny. Thanks for the review and saying it’s easy to put together. 🙂
My kids just love play kitchens, grills, etc. It’s one of their favorite things to do.
My son would love to feed my husband and me with this. He would actually plan an outdoor picnic and then he’d serve us food on plates and make us fake eat it. Luckily for him we have other play foods like yogurt, orange juice, steak, bread and other items so we’d have a huge picnic lol. I love the review and seeing all the pics. I love the imagination children have and have always fed it so they’d always believe in things unseen.
I saw this grill at our friend’s house. They have boys but I thought it would also great for my preschool girl. She’s been watching and wanting to help her Dad grilling all summer long. This will make a cool inside fun toy playing during winter time 🙂 Thanks for a chance to win it!
This is so Cute! I could just picture my Niece just having a party,pretending to grill! Especially right next to her Daddy’s Grill!
This is such a realistic-play grill! Instead of my son coming and begging to help out at the real grill, he could have his very own grill set to make burgers on! that We’d love to win!
This grill is too cool. My kiddos would have a blast with this but also considering it as a gift for my nephew. We love Little Tikes, their stuff wears like iron!
I love this it’s something I dreamed of having as a kid ! My boys love to pretend to cook. They would have so much fun with it!
I would love to win this awesome prize so I could donate it too my church.the toddlers would love it.
I love little tykes products. My daughter would love this toy to go with the little tykes house she has in the backyard.
My 1 1/2 year old son would love this. He is always wanting to play with his sister’s kitchen set (and she doesn’t like for him too). It would also teach him better eye and hand coordination skills.
Thanks for the great review, I think I’ll have one of each hamburger and hot dog. The kids look like they are having a grand time. My Granddaughter always wants to help Daddy cook, and this would be the perfect set up for her on the deck so they could cook together. And she and her friends would love it also. Thanks for the chance.

I love your detailed review and pictures of this! I was thinking about getting this for our oldest the other day and came across this review! It’s definitely great and I want this even more now!
My son would absolutely love this BBQ set. He loves to pretend like he is cooking like his daddy 🙂

how cute is that
I wanted to get this for my sons b-day but wasn’t able to. After reading this it is on my Christmas list now for sure! My son would love the little accessories and the click of the knobs. And monkey see, monkey do. He is always trying to copy us so this would get a lot of use as we are also in California.
This is the perfect toy for my son, who is autistic and always wanting to cook on the grill. Now when we (the adults) are cooking on the grill, he can to, along with his younger sister and his older sister. Something to occupy them. It would also come in handy when we don’t want to cook on the grill. The power of imagination:)
This is adorable! My daughter likes going out and pretending to cook along with her dad when he grills. This would be a perfect gift for her birthday. Little Tikes products are the best, they’re always great quality that last a long time.
This is definitely something I’d buy for my son! We (the adults) are always grilling. And Little Tikes always makes good quality products. One of these might be in my future 🙂
This is so cute. My granddaughter would love this. She loves to play on her kitchen set in the kitchen when I’m cooking. Guess I’ll have to buy a grill now. 🙂
I Love Little Tikes. Their toys always work like the real deal. I love they can actually turn knobs and have the playfood to make food like you would in the kitchen which gives the childs hours of enjoyment unlike painted on knobs and stickers
This is an awesome toy 🙂 Am glad that it’s not real fire! hehe I like how everything fits in the door below; makes for easy cleanup! Thank you for the review 🙂
What a cute set. I’m sure my little boy would love it. He’ll be four next month and asked for a kitchen set.
I would love to get this for my Grandson! I can see us playing with this in my back yard.
this is cute my daughter would love this
I also like how much fun my daughter would have with this
i love this! my daughter has a little grill and she loves it. she got it for her 1st bday and will be able to play with it for several more years. she likes to grill outside while papa grills for real on his big grill.
I love that the pieces that come with the grill can be stored right inside of the bottom cabinet section so they wont get lost! My grandsons would love cooking on their on grill right beside their papa on our back porch!! Super cute toy!!
My boys would love this. They love to “help” daddy on the grill. Actually I’d love to play with this too! If I dont win I will have to go and find this for a Christmas gift!
This would make the perfect Christmas present for our 3 year old daughter June! She loves pretend cooking and wills serve us our ‘food’ and ‘drinks’ and she gets very upset if we don’t ‘eat’ them! lol I can see her outside next summer BBQ’ing for our whole family and teaching our new baby, Joee (who is 6 months old right now) how to BBQ. I love how the lid flips up and it has hanging tools, just like our grill!

Although my niece is only 1 I think she would have lots of fun with it. I know her cousins would love to help her play with it.
This grill is too cute! I have grandsons that would have so much fun when they come to visit me.
My son really loves to watch his daddy grill, so I think this would be the perfect toy for him! I just love all the attention to detail they put into this toy.
This is great to add to our kitchen collection. The storage underneath is a bonus. I love that the dials click when they turn on. My daughters would love this because they can be just like daddy.
My son does alot of cooking outside I think that my grandson would love this pretending to be like daddy. Thanks for the review.
I really like that it can be left outside. It is nice that it comes with accessories too. My daughter can grill just like her daddy.
This is adorable. I love Little Tikes toys. My son would love this.
I love Little Tikes The Backyard Barbecue. It is so cute and it will bring any child years of fun. They hold up so well over time and all kids love Little Tike toys when they come over to play.
I absolutely love this! As a mother of 3 (soon to be 4) boys, I am constantly looking for a good pretend kitchen set that is not too “girly.” This is perfect, now they can grill out with daddy and it does not have any flowers or pink things!
My grandson would love to have this! It’s so funny to watch him cook out with daddy when they BBQ. I get nervous when he is near the hot grill With this he can have his own to cook!
This grill is super cute!! Kids love to imitate mom and dad and Little Tykes make it possible with their kitchens and grill playsets! My kids would love to play in the backyard with this grill! Too cute!
What a great toy! My son would love all the features of this BBQ set. My husband BBQ’s a lot and I know my son would have a blast copying daddy and having his own BBQ. I like that it can be an inside or outside toy.
My son would adore this. After my hubby started grilling this summer my littlest wanted so badly to help and grill like daddy. We ended up building a makeshift grill out of a cardboard box, thinking he would soon get bored with it. Instead he took his sisters playfood and some of my kitchen utensils, and played for hours each day. We still have it months later, but have to be sure to bring it in if it rains-it is in starting to look pretty rugged
My kids would love this! They have a playhouse in the backyard and this would be a perfect addition. Thanks for sharing! -Monika
This is so sweet! I have 8 grandkids and they would just love this.We have lots of cookouts and they would love to pretend that they are having one too.
I would love to have this for my boys! then they can grill just like daddy!
My granddaughter currently has the Little Tikes indoor kitchen & loves it, I think she would really enjoy BBQing with her grandfather in the patio.
My son would think this toy was awesome! He’d be able to BBQ just like his daddy. And I love that it can be an indoor/outdoor toy.
It’s great how realistic it looks. The tongs and buns add to the fun. Kids can really feel like they are grilling just like Mom and Dad. The grill looks wonderful, and I like that there’s a lid, too. The pack that comes with it with the condiments make it a great cookout…the finishing touches!
I really love the variety of food that the accessory kit comes with – it’s not just one or two little things that doesn’t give them many options to play. I also love that the grill makes sounds – my son would absolutely love this!
I love Little Tikes. They must have geniuses working there because not only are their toys remarkable in what they think of they to make but they are built to last.
This is so cute!!! I have a little one that would love her own grill on the porch near daddy’s 🙂
I just love Little Tykes. They make the cutest toys for kids.And they’re durable, toys that kids can play with for years.
This is perfect for my girls and my nephew. Its just their height and they love to pretend cook.
I love all the little grilling food!! This set is beyond cute.
love that the knobs click and turn
This toy looks like such a blast. My boys would have a ball playing with it.
I think this is so adorable. It will be perfect for my little nephews. Thanks for the awesome contest.
My son loves pretending that he is BBQ’ing, like daddy, so this would be perfect! He will love pretending!!
My daughter and son love just about anything made by Little Tikes. My daughters birthday is coming up and I know she’d love this toy. My little ones are mini chefs in the making and love pretending to cook!
this is so cute we used to ahve tehm when we kid they were either metal or the
cardboard which you could not out side but kept them down in the basement
and tehn they can get on patio or on the lawn when the adult are bbq
I think this Little Tykes grill is amazing! So sturdy looking and detailed! I have a 19 month old granddaughter who loves to play in the kitchen, so I know she would love to have her own grill to put on the patio and she can cook with daddy
This is so cute ! My little one would love this ! I know Little Tikes toys are well made also
I absolutely love this grill! My grand daughter would enjoy it so much! I love things toys that teach. This thing will not only be fun to play with, but will also teach children that cooking can be fun.

My 6 year old son recently has taken up “cooking” he loves to pretend to make his mommy, daddy and sibling all types of things I think he would love to have this bbq and cook like daddy does.
My son would love this! It looks so cute!
This is such a nice giveaway. My 2 year old Grandson BJ would most def love to have this to play with!
Little Tikes is a great company that makes quality, sturdy toys. My kids would love this! I can totally see them “pretending to be like Daddy” and grilling their favorite foods on it (steak, hot dogs, cheeseburgers, etc.). My kids love to “act out” everyday things that they see, so I know that this toy would be a favorite in our house. Thanks for the giveaway!
