Came in with a big group after a basketball tournament. Great place for a group! Food was solid, drinks were cold, service was great. read more

We really want to love and support local businesses, which is why we've given Back Porch multiple chances - but unfortunately, it just hasn't lived up to expectations. First, the overall service has consistently been lacking. The hostess at the front has never been particularly welcoming, and the service in general feels pretty disengaged. It's not necessarily outright rude - it just feels like there's no real effort, which sets the tone right away. We've noticed a big decline over the past 6-12 months. It used to be better, but lately it's just not the same. As for the food... it's simply not worth the price. We're talking $100+ tabs and leaving disappointed every time. This last visit really sealed it for us. I ordered something very simple, and my son got a basic chicken sandwich - chicken, bun, pickles, ketchup, cheese. It came out with a barely toasted bun and chicken that tasted like it had been fried in old grease. Not appetizing at all. We also ordered cheese fries, and they were undercooked and just drenched in queso - more like a bowl of cheese with fries tossed in, rather than properly melted, crispy cheese fries. This isn't a one-time experience either - we've tried several times hoping it would improve, and it just hasn't. If you're going for drinks and to watch a game, it might be okay. But for a full meal, especially at that price point, we wouldn't recommend it. Sadly, this last visit was enough for us - we won't be returning. read more

The food was ok. The fries were horrible! My son had the sweet potato fries, and they were so much better. When I asked the server if anyone liked the fries, she said, "not really". The service was ok too. It was all very ok. read more

The food was good. No issues there, but the service was terrible. We walked in and sat down and got scolded for not waiting to be seated. There was no hostess, the sign was small and out of direct sight. Then we ordered premium liquor, watched them pour well liquor... called them on it, and got nothing but attitude. Our receipt even confirmed well liquor. Will not return. read more

Food is always good... service is not great. For a Saturday and not being busy, no host and it took 20 minutes to be acknowledged. Waitresses did not even attempt to look at the door to see if service was needed. Always had to ask for items that should've been automatic... Waters, Napkins, Utensils. Bathrooms were also neglected read more

Six stars, y'all! These people know sandwiches! Just the right amount of every ingredient. We all sampled each other's burgers and sandwiches (chicken philly, club, and T-BAM) and swore we would come back to order what our neighbors ordered because one measley bite was not enough to properly enjoy the deliciousness. And we did, even though we live 20 minutes away and have no other reason for visiting this area. Your sandwich or burger comes with homemade fries or chips, and the fries here are my favorite in all of DFW. The T-BAM (turkey) sandwich is flawless, and is quickly becoming the family favorite. I plan to come here the next time I'm in the mood for a cheeseburger. Someone at another table ordered one; the melted cheese dripping down the patty looked amazing, and I saw the look on his face when he took his first bite. You know how once in a blue moon you find a restaurant where the chef clearly knows food so well that you would try absolutely anything on the menu just to see what they've created? This is one of those places for me. I can't wait to order some of the appetizers, too. (Giant soft pretzel with IPA cheese!) I also love the look of the inside of this place. Fun, clean, and inviting. Service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and had no problem handling my in-laws' many, many modification requests (add this, remove that, double grill the onions). Good kids menu, too. They also do brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. Happy hour (half price domestics) is Monday-Friday 2-6pm. This is my #1 food recommendation of the year. read more

This place surprised me! The atmosphere was very lively and well balanced. The food impressed me. The giant pretzel was so soft and flavorful! I also loved my chicken wrap. Service was great. Our server checked in on us multiple times throughout the evening. read more

I love the food and the vibe at BackPorch Drafthouse in Northlake--the space is inviting and perfect for a relaxed meal. My only hiccup was the bartenders, who seemed a bit too bored to be fully attentive. Still, the food and atmosphere make it worth a visit! read more

My daughter & I ordered food one night to pickup. I had a burger and she got the nachos. Food was good.. no complaints. When I picked up the order, service was quick and they were friendly. Order was correct with no issues when we got home to eat. Inside has TV's which I'm sure my husband would love so he can watch games. I'm sure we will definitely have to go back. read more

Walked in with a friend. Ignored, so we sat ourselves at a booth. Ignored for about another 10 minutes. My friend waves at the two girls (one on her phone) at the bar. The one not on her phone noticed and went into the kitchen to get someone. She opens the door and looks upset that we're there. So, we saved them the trouble and left. read more

Tonight was our first time and we had a wonderful experience! Jacqueline was very personable and knowledgeable.The drinks were great and the food was amazing! The menu definitely has something for everyone. We waited a little longer than expected for my husband's steak fingers and Ari the manager was communicating constantly. I've been a GM for over a decade and it was refreshing to see everyone catering to the guests needs. Thank you Back Porch for a wonderful dinner. We will be back! read more

Service is slow and inattentive. If you are going to the Starscenter for an event, avoid this place.

Food was awesome. Honestly, don't go in with kids. Our server snubbed us. I would only return for the food.

We've driven by this area so many times and thought to stop in, but never did until today. The place is nice and spacious, lots of bar top tables and booths. All the staff were friendly and helpful, our waitress was pulled away on something and we liked that another waitress came to check on us. We ordered the Urban Cowboy w/ their homemade chips, as recommended by our waitress, and it hit the mark. The burger was delicious! And the chips were better than the fries. I got their steak fingers w/ jalapeño gravy and have to say it was also very good but the smoked Gouda Mac bites are a must try. Everything was washed down nicely by their Cherry Limeade drink & my husband loved the Space Dust IPA We ordered a few things to go for our boys at home- the brisket grilled cheese, patty melt & BOB burger, everyone was a fan! read more

service was non existent. only a few customers in the restaurant. poor experience.

Been here 3xs various business and the service is always on point. Love the timing between being seated-ordering food-eating-checking out. Not too fast but not too slow. The burgers are huge and amazing, the sweet potato fries are one of my favorites. Hadn't drank from the bar yet but everything is great. The servers are friendly and the location is kept clean even in the busy rush. Little loud but it's not insanely loud. 10/10 read more

Went for lunch after a skeet shoot. Nice vibe inside with several tv's. They have s large room for big parties. Bar is cool with lots of beers and cocktails. I had the Mother Porker sandwich which was pulled pork shaved ham coleslaw and a sweet hot jam sauce. Very tasty and different. Girlfriend had baja fish tacos also very good. Menu very diverse with many options to choose from. I would go back but the big problem is the traffic. If you are headed there going towards I 35. Its a nightmare to get there. Have to negotiate a left turn. Very tough getting across to the restaurant. If coming from the other direction it wouldn't be a big deal. read more

On a Thursday afternoon/evening, we popped in. On YELP we had read the menu and got excited about the smoked jalapeno patty melt. The place was a sports bar, but I just didn't get that vibe. It was wide and spacious, cold and quiet. Maybe during a game it would be rocking, but there were games on (December bowl games) and nothing was happening here. There was some Christmas music faintly playing in the background, but nothing that said exciting. I'm not sure how long the waitress had been here, but she was very sweet. She knew nothing about the beer menu, or what was on draft. Whenever we asked questions about the menu, she had to go into the back and ask. When we prompted her for recommendations she finally offered an off-the-menu item called the "hot chick". We ordered the hot chick with fries, and the smoked jalepeno patty melt with chips. The fries were thin and cripsy, and the chips were underdone. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, aka Hot Chick, was not great. The bun was soggy, the chicken was greasy, and the "nashville hot sauce" was hot with pepper but horribly uneven, and as someone who loves hot stuff... I didn't enjoy it at all. The wife ordered a fried egg on her patty melt (YUM!) but it was broken and all the yolk was sitting on the tray when it arrived at the table, instead of on the sandwich (YUCK!). Pickled jalepenos thrown on after the sandwich was made did not make them smoked or delicious. I wish this place well but the service and food were barely medicore. Maybe I'll come back during a playoff game. read more

Food was on point and the service was fast and attentive. We will make sure to make a return trip when we are in the area again.

Fun environment! Awesome burgers, they are huge. But my go to is the Buffalo chicken salad. I usually sit at the bar, service is always great. read more

Service was terrible, even though there were barely any customers. Waited over ten minutes at the hostess stand just to get recognized, even though the bartender looked up at us from her mobile phone several times. Sign said "wait to be seated," which was silly considering how dead it was in there. Waited nearly 40 minutes for our food; again, there were maybe four other tables in the restaurant and at least three waitstaff. The waitress blamed the long wait on the french fries taking a long time, but there was zero communication from her on anyone else stumbling about the restaurant that night. The appetizer came out with the burgers - why even call them appetizers? Several items were missing from our order, like the fried egg, and the side of bacon. Very frustrating. Had to flag someone down every time we needed something. Speaking of the waitstaff, their clothes were ill-fitting and looked like they had all slept in them, or not washed them in several shifts. Not a hygenic looking one among them, which is concerning when it comes to food service. Lots of TVs all over with lots of different sports on, which was nice. Not much in the way of decor beyond that, but it was OK for a sports bar. Prices weren't terrible for the quality of the burgers, but there wasn't anything else about our visit to raise the rating. read more

CHICKEN AND WAFFLES!!!! Oh my goodness, my family got to have brunch together because our original plans fell apart. I love it when what you THINK was going to happen doesn't and something even better does in its place. Backporch, it was meant to be! I had been over here for PJ's coffee but didn't notice it in the same strip until today. We started our meal off with the Bavarian pretzel which was served with cheese and mustard for dipping, amazing! Our food came out quickly too, not a bad waitime. I ordered chicken and waffles. Hubby ordered chicken fried steak. The biscuit that comes with his steak was the bomb!! I snagged some and devoured it. My waffles came with sweet strips of bacon on top, yum! The owner Kris even came over to make sure everything was correct and tasted good. He assisted the staff with bringing our food out as well, very cool. He was super friendly! I am just so happy to have chicken and waffles with my family on this fine Sunday morning. It was a delight :) read more

We popped in for a couple beers and a quick bit to eat. They have a plethora of draft beer option and a full bar. We had the cheese fries which were amazing and the brisket sliders they were also good, not great. Would definitely order the cheese fries again, but not the sliders. The bartender was amazing very kind and attentive! All food and drinks came out very quickly. The vibe is very casual! We look forward to coming back! Thanks for a wonderful experience! read more

I've been here several times now. The Atmosphere is relaxed the food and service was great. I'll definitely be going back.

Food was great, service was also great. Friendly staff & waiters, happy to answer any questions or deal with special food requests. Music was kind of loud, but not to the point of needing to yell to communicate. My only complaint is that the fries weren't that good (which I had higher hopes for.) Overall, I had a pleasant first experience and would gladly come back. read more

Bartenders were great and attentive. My husband said the burger was amazing. I had their wings which were very yummy, although I wish I requested extra crispy (I'm not a big fan of extra sauce). I'd recommend this place if you want to watch sports and listen to good music. read more

We have now visited this location twice, both under the same pretenses....late dinner and drinks with good friends. Our first visit the food was bomb! Like we were already thinking about our next meal while driving away. Our second stop there was just okay....gravy and steak fingers just did not have the flair from the first time. Not sure how because these were only weeks apart. If you go here be sure to layer your clothing. Our first trip inside it was probably 55 degrees....no lie, my nose started running because of how fridges it was. I prepared myself for the second visit and I brought a small blanket to wrap around my legs. Only on the second visit was SO SO SO hot. My husband and the other two guys that were with us were pouring down in sweat. We asked for some relief from the waitress but she said the manager controls the thermostat. The drinks are the best part and they are on the upper crust of good. read more

Let me just add to my first review of this place by saying, "Watch your receipts." It's been three times now that i have noticed some questionable charges and today, i didn't notice that there was a button you're supposed to hit if you don't want to leave a tip. If you don't enter a tip, it charges you 20% automatically. Now don't get me wrong, the food here is good, although a little more expensive that some others, but still good and most of the employees are really friendly. I most likely won't be going back, but just watch those receipts. And try the fried mushrooms and jalapeno bottle caps. read more

LOVE the fried jalapeño appetizer. Staff was very friendly and answered all questions that we had. Would definitely recommend

My family and I were incredibly excited to try out the new Backporch Drafthouse and we were not disappointed! The bar / restaurant is huge and staff was very friendly / attentive. The menu is quite large which I was surprised by, and seriously, everything looks amazing. The couple of items we got were excellent. My wife got the Nashville sliders and I'm not going to lie - I'm probably going to get that next time. Backporch has a very good beer selection on draft and cans, but I have to say, their website to show what they have available is not very good. It's a single very long page with up to date beers. There are links to each location, but if you happen to scroll too far, its a pain to get back to your location. Being the nerd that I am, they need to get onto Untapped or similar app quick! With that said though, this is a great location, with great food. I can't wait to hang out here for a game! Definitely check them out. read more

Stepped into Backporch Drafthouse for some lunch while in Fort Worth for business. This restaurant isn't too shabby. I kept it simple and ordered the Urban Cowboy burger, which is actually a really BIG burger. Great flavor with this burger-no doubt! The service was good and the prices were fair, so no complaints. This restaurant does get pretty busy, and we appreciated that they had plenty of TV's airing the NBA Playoffs. Two thumbs up for Backporch Drafthouse. Happy eating, my foodies! read more

Food is fantastic and the staff is awesome. Will come back time and time again. Definitely try the jalapeño burger.

Met a friend for lunch. The restaurant is spacious and clean. Our server was attentive took great care of us. I had the cheesesteak sandwich, substituting shaved sirloin for the chicken. It was great! I'll be back! read more

I love trying new dives, especially for the wings, and I must've missed this place for the last year. This is a very clean place, which is a huge plus, tucked away off HWY 114. I ordered the boneless 10pc wings, and they weren't bad at all. Not the best, but definitely hit the spot. Awesome amount of sauce, and the size of the boneless wings were bigger than most spots, which is a huge plus for wing lovers. Will be coming back soon. read more

This place is just ok. The cocktails are way overpriced for the quality. The food is hit or miss, I've had dinner on 4 separate occasions and 2 the food was great and the other 2 times not so much. The staff is very friendly and the restaurant is typically in good shape. We do avoid the one bartender, she tends to share her personal business a bit too much. read more
