iphone parallax

I have a parallax effect for my site and it looks fine on desktop but on my iphone the parallax image is way way to big so that you cant even notice the parallax effect (plus the image is so large you cant even discern what the photo is of). Does anyone have a solution for this? You can see what my problem is at sharkysbarandgrill.com and my parallax code I use is below.

// setting base styles to image containers
[class*="bg__"] {
  height: 55vh;

  text-indent: -9999px;

  /* fix background */
  background-attachment: fixed;

  /* center it */
  background-position: center center;

  /* Scale it nicely to the element */
  background-size: cover;

  /* just make it look a bit better ;) */
  &:nth-child(2n) {
    box-shadow: inset 0 0 1em #111;
  }
}

.bg__homeMenu {
  background-image: url(
    url("images/brickwall.png")
  );

}

.bg__drinkFood {
  background-image: url(
    images/brick-background2.png
  );
  margin-top: 2%;  /*seprates the drinks menu from the parallax image*/

}

.bg__foodevent {
  background-image: url(
    images/pagoda-night.png
  );
}

.bg__bazz {
  height: 100vh;

  background-image: url(
    https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/30354/parallax1.jpg
  );
}
