For a kids birthday party this is the place. My nieces had a playground at her disposal for several hours. Which definitely tires them out. There is indoor and outdoor seating. We were outdoors it was a nice day, but I wish there were more fans around to provide a little more air flow. The bench area and playground area were clean, and well spaced for multiple parties. 🎈 The staff were friendly even with so much chaos. It did take a little to get things out but I was very busy. Our waiter Jeremy I believe was very attentive, kind, and had great customer service. (Unfortunately I’m better with face than I am names). Overall a great experience. All the staff we encountered was hands on, and made everything go so smoothly. The food was amazing! I have the strip burger 🍔 and worth every bite. The fries were cooked with a tasteful crunch. The hot girl summer combo is a must with the pineapple beer you can’t get anywhere else. You’ve got to try it!

I stopped in for dinner yesterday and, to my surprise, the venue was hosting a huge political event. After my party was seated, over 300 people poured in. Despite the overwhelming crowd, the serving staff went above and beyond to accommodate us—they were truly busting their butts to make sure everyone was taken care of. What really impressed me was that, even under that kind of pressure, the food was still excellent. The Cowboy Burger and Cheese Pizza were both fantastic choices, full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Hats off to the staff and kitchen for keeping everything running smoothly during such a demanding evening. This level of service and quality absolutely deserves 5 stars.

I first heard about this restaurant from the Facebook Group "San Antonio Restaurants". It was recommended to me when I asked for suggestions for a restaurant for my son's 3rd birthday dinner. I said we needed a location that was for mostly adults but yet kid friendly. So we selected Backyard on Broadway because it met the criteria we were looking for and we were not disappointed! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful experience! Dre. was the person who I engaged in communication with pretty much the entire time and was amazing to work with. All of my questions were answered and very timely! As soon as my toddler and I walked in their establishment we were greeted by the hosts who exclaimed, "You must be the birthday boy!!" I knew it was going to be a great experience from then on! We had prime real estate seating up on the patio overlooking the playground. Our food was brought out hot and very quickly after being there. Our servers were hustling back and forth and did an amazing job of making sure our guests were happy. They took all of our special requests and made everything seamless. We had elderly that needed chairs with backs, dietary restrictions with gluten free crusts, small children and we were in the shade. They kept our cake and goodie bags with meltable candies inside their walk-in fridge until needed. Their PBJ pizza (pepperoni and bacon jam) was the hit of the party! Their chicken tenders were as well! They were not your basic tenders. These were super flavorful and oversized. They said we could decorate the space, but I am not the decorating type so we just had a big banner and called it a day! It worked great on their space. After our dinner was over we had to make a quick dash to the Scobee Education Center because I had gotten all our guests tickets to the Planetarium. We broke down our sign and boxed up our cake and the restaurant said we could leave our stuff there and come right back and pick it up after the show! 🥹 They were life savers!! I could go on and on about how happy we were. I just wanted to let everyone know what a great time we had and that it was a great choice for us! Sharing a few pictures for reference. Thank you again to the ones that were helpful and recommending this place to us! We will definately be back. If I had to say something negative it would be that their cups of salsa for their chips are too small. We need more salsa because they were really good!

More bathrooms more menu options. Clean and very nice! Food tasty. I'm hoping the fact that it was super busy service was subpar. Live entertainment was cool. I did not like the fact that if your bill is over $100, or over 8 people, it's automatic 20% tip. Discourages drunks or keeping a running tab I suppose. My mom picked up the tab and also was displeased with service and didn't think she deserved 20%.

It was great, the only problem was the staff was over it. It was multiple staff members were sorry if rude. They definitely did not want to help each other and we're easily offended if asked for assistance. It was off putting as a customer.

I had an amazing experience! The drinks were fantastic, and the bartenders were friendly and welcoming. The food was outstanding—especially the chicken tenders paired with some of the best fresh ranch I’ve ever had. The pizza was also delicious. Overall, I highly recommend this place, though it can get a bit crowded at times. Definitely worth a visit!

I went with my little ones and husband Saturday for an early dinner. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while now bc I love the idea of the playground. My 3 year old had a blast playing while we sat outside and ate. I had the pulled pork sandwich. Which was amazing! My husband had a burger which he said wasn’t that great. Service was decent. Our waitress was training and while they were both super friendly. I felt like they could have been a little more attentive when it came to needing refills. We wanted to order a couple beers but after we got our food they didn’t come back u til it was time for the check. We will definitely be returning and giving them another try though

We really like this place, mainly because of their playground. Staff is ok but could be more attentive. The food is pretty good. More marketing could bring this place more business, we usually go on Friday or Saturday nights and it’s not that full, mind you the place is huge. That would make it more fun. Needless, we will keep going back because of the playground and good food.

My son really like the outdoor play area. The queso was okay, the pizza was okay. Service was decent. I consider this more bar than restaurant so expect higher pricing.

Marcus Hanley

Food was sub par for the price and my kids chicken tenders were pretty burnt. My kids would not eat them. However the atmosphere for the kids is great as it features a large outdoor with kids playground. If stopping for a drink I do recommend. Service was a bit slow for the amount of people that were there. Worth another go

Tried the wings, no flavor. Wings were just cooked then some bottled sauce thrown on it, queso chips, melted Velveeta which was warm not hot. Salsa for chips, had no pica at all, neither did the wings. Disappointing, but will try again and do the pizza which they are known for. I'll give it another try because the restaurant is very family friendly.

We celebrated my son in law's 40th birthday this weekend. We made lunch reservations since we are a large group with kids. When we arrived, our reserved tables were clearly marked and ready for us. The server assigned to us said she was new but she did a great job at handling so many of us on separate checks. She was friendly, attentive and sweet. My apologies for not remembering her name. We ordered a lot of food! I didn't get to take photos with so many of us but my son loved the pulled pork sandwich. The fries were also great and crispy. We got several pizzas and they were all cooked well and delicious (and I'm picky with pizza). We also got beer and cocktails. The beer was cold. The cocktails were great but contained a lot of ice, which melted quickly in the sun. They have several beer/drink flights and I loved that. We tried all of them. Our bill was a bit higher than we expected. They also add an automatic 20% gratuity for large groups but they did tell us about it when we arrived. The playground was a nice addition for the little ones. It is in a contained space so you don't have to worry as much about little wanderers. There were a lot of children playing. They also have a lot of fans in the outside area. The day heated up quickly so these were really appreciated. The signs outside are funny! Inside there is a cute bench/photo wall for family pics or selfies. This place is also dog friendly. In fairness, I don't visit a lot of dog friendly places (I love dogs, just not with my food). In my opinion, this is where things fell short. You could smell the faint odor of dog poop everywhere. We changed tables twice to try to distance ourselves from the smell. Some areas were worse than others but you could still smell it everywhere. Oddly, there were no dogs there when we arrived at 1 pm. It made us feel uneasy about allowing the babies on the playground turf. I am unsure if this is common of dog friendly establishments but it really impacted our experience. Our intention was to spend a few hours celebrating but we couldn't take it. We ate, sang Happy Birthday and left. We could still smell it on us after we left so we had to go shower before going elsewhere. Sadly, I would not return to dine in or hang out here but I would still order a pizza to go!

I honestly don’t even know where to start with this place, but I wish I’d trusted my gut and walked out the moment I stepped inside. From the jump, the vibe was off. Service was rude and painfully slow. Not “busy night” slow—more like “we don’t care” slow. Our server barely seemed annoyed by every question, and disappeared for long stretches of time. Refills? Forget it. Now let’s talk about the food, because that was somehow just as disappointing. Everything came out lukewarm, like it had been sitting around for a while. The flavors were bland at best and straight-up bad at worst. One dish was overly salty, another tasted like it came from a freezer and went straight to the microwave. What really sealed the deal, though, was watching how the owner interacted with the staff. You could tell morale is nonexistent, and that kind of energy bleeds into everything: the service, the food, the overall experience. If this is how he treats his employees in public, I can only imagine how bad it is behind the scenes. The restaurant itself wasn’t doing any favors either. Tables were sticky, bathrooms were messy, and the whole place felt neglected, like no one is taking pride in maintaining it anymore. It feels like a business that’s just coasting, relying on past reputation or location, without putting in any effort to actually earn customers. By the time we left, we were more frustrated than full. There are way too many good restaurants out there to waste your time or money on one that doesn’t respect its customers or its staff. I won’t be back, and I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself the disappointment and go literally anywhere else.
