    Backporch Drafthouse - Temple 11-16-24 Had lunch with my family. The atmosphere was nice. It has a bar setting with a separate dining area. It is a large room with lots of seating and plenty of TV's. The food was good but lacked seasoning. The food was hot and fresh. We had: FRIED MUSHROOMS Beer battered crispy fried Mushrooms served with Buttermilk Ranch CRISPY FRIED PICKLES served with Homemade Buttermilk Ranch CHICKEN FRIED STEAK &EGGS* Black Angus cubed Steak, two fried Eggs, house made Sausage Gravy and a buttery Toasted Biscuit served with Home Fries The biscuit was hot, fresh, and good! THE BIG DADDY* Buttery Brioche Bun, two Route 66 style Patties, Secret Sauce, American and Swiss Cheeses, Crispy Bacon, and roasted Jalapeño Bacon Jam Overall, it was a good meal and we enjoyed it. The food was served fresh and hot. The waitstaff were friendly and efficient. We will be back. Be sure and try them! We all have good and bad days. Today was a good day!

    We decided to try Backporch Drafthouse and ordered a half order of cheese fries to start. The fries arrived warm, not hot, which was a little disappointing. The cheese had a more solid texture than expected, almost as if it wasn't melted enough. On a positive note, the jalapeños were delicious and added great flavor. For my main dish, I ordered the Mushroom and Swiss burger. While I enjoyed the burger itself, the bun was overcooked around the edges to the point of being burnt, which made it less enjoyable. The Swiss cheese also didn't have the tangy flavor I typically expect; it tasted more like American cheese. As for the service, our server was very nice and checked on us often, which was great. Drinks took a bit longer to arrive, but the bar was had football fans, so I totally understood. The atmosphere was a big plus. It's a bar/restaurant focused on sports, with 12 large TVs in the dining room and more above the bar, making it perfect for watching a game. The music was also a highlight--it played 2000s R&B, which I loved! Overall, there were a few misses with the food, but the friendly service and enjoyable atmosphere definitely made up for it.

    outside - The photo depicts the storefront of Backporch Drafthouse, a restaurant with a large sign displaying its name. The building has a white facade with stone accents and large windows. Outdoor seating includes several tables and chairs, some of which are enclosed by a barrier with Bud Light and Texas Longhorns logos. The sky above is cloudy, and a parked vehicle is visible on the left side of the image.

    Today is my second time coming here. My first time was with my best friend after I bought my new vehicle from Don Ringler Toyota. Today I hooked up my other best friend by giving him a ride to Don Ringler Toyota to buy his new vehicle from there as well. So I thought about starting a tradition and bro my other best friend here for lunch while we wait for the dealership to add his window tint and accessories to his new vehicle. The service at the bar was awesome! The bar tenders kept communications and drinks going. The ambiance of this facility is rocking! The food today was delicious! I ordered the T-Bam and my best friend ordered the chicken Philly steaks. The T-Bam was phenomenally delicious! We walked in during lunch with no wait. They do have an outside patio out front and parking lot is plentiful.

    Jalapeño Popper Burger! - A meal featuring a burger with lettuce, pickles, and bacon, served with a side of seasoned French fries, is placed on a metal tray lined with branded paper. A large glass mug of beer with foam on top is positioned behind the tray. The setting appears to be an outdoor patio with a metal table and chairs, and a menu is partially visible on the table.

    Amazing Sports Bar and Draft House in Temple, TX! Huge bar with a ton of outside seating and an amazing staff that are spot on with a smile and the servers behind the bar especially Bella and Hannah on the porch are amazing! Probably one of the happiest of happy hours in Temple M-Friday that starts at 2PM...yes 2PM...and ends at 6pm. 1/2 priced Domestic beers! The food is amazing. Asian Chicken Wraps not the same as PF whatever but they stand alone as with BBQ'd chicken. The Club that you must get with a Pretzel Bun, Chicken Philly Cheese Steak and if you love Bleu Cheese the Wedge is the best in all of Temple. Tonight I got the Jalapeño Popper Burger with the fries tossed in Cajun spices (must request) and it was amazeballs!

    Stopped in for lunch after a meeting at work. We were sat quickly and attended to by our waitress. The place was clean and AC was nice and cool. The food was fresh and full of flavor. I will definitely be back.

    See all

    Dirty taps and poor service. Took ten minutes to get a warm, nasty beer. Server never came back to check on us.

    It's a strip mall chain. You can get a decent sandwich and a cold beer. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking.

    Meh. It's a loud sports bar with mediocre service and less than mediocre service. Tables are sticky and wobbly - my 2 pet peeves.

    Don't let this small store fool you.... The food was delicious, well seasoned and perfectly cooked…read more I didn't get a picture, but they have the self serve beer tap which I thought was cool. The best part though.... The service. We had the privilege of being served by Becca. I don't know if I've ever met a happier person with such a beautiful personality. She made sure my buddies food was cooked properly because of a food allergy. She made a few wonderful suggestions to me and made sure I had all the sauces for my kabobs. She stopped by to make sure we were happy with everything a few times. She truly made the experience better a billion times over.

    I've been coming to Mosaic since the very beginning around 3-4 times a month. I'm sad to say that…read moretoday will be my final day here. The reasons have kind of been piling up over the year, but enough is enough. - I don't understand why the charge for extra sauce is 75 cents to $1. The amount of sauce provided is just never enough - My signature dish here is the fish and chips. Today, they were completely over cooked - very dark on the outside. - The fries were not cooked long enough and I could be wrong, but it seems like the types of fries used here changes all the time - The entire staff (even the guy in the kitchen) are staring at their cell phones. I wanted to take a picture, but didn't want to violate privacy concerns - I miss the weekly specials - it's what drew me here in the beginning. - I've had several of the other dishes, but they just didn't "wow" me. The burger is way too messy, the wraps fall apart after a few bites, and the chicken shawarma requires sauce to have any kind of flavor. I'm sorry to have to stop coming - the owners used to be here all the time, but now it seems like it's just kids running the place. Time to find the next hole in the wall that I like to eat and work at. Respectfully, Marc

    MasFajitas Mexican Restaurant 03-06-26…read more Heard a lot about this restaurant. Large dining area and Bar. The building is shared with a Seafood Restaurant! Separate dining areas with a common foyer and shared restrooms. Staff are very friendly. Our server was Jammie and she was fantastic. She explained the menu and answered our questions. We started off with a small order of guacamole which was awesome. We then tried their White Queso and Traditional Yellow Queso. They were both really good and I couldn't choose which one I liked best! You'll have to try them for yourself! We also had; The Road Kill - Grilled Chicken Breast topped with Queso Sauce, served with one Cheese and Onion Enchilada, Grilled Zucchini, and Pico de Gallo. Very flavorful. The chicken was moist and tender. The Cheese Enchilada was awesome with its chili sauce. Stuffed Fried Avocado - Hand battered fresh Avocado, stuffed with Spinach & Mushrooms. Served with a Cheese Enchilada, Rice, Beans and a side of Queso Sauce. The stuffed Avocado was totally awesome. Wrapped in cheese, then battered and deep fried. Gotta give it a try! The Beans and Rice were really good. We decided we need to go back and try more dishes! Yummy. Oh, The Chips and Salsa are great. Chips are Thin and Crispy and the salsa isn't too hot to eat! Give them a try and see what you think.

    Big fan of the restaurant overall as they have a lot of great dishes. Today I had the carne asada…read morefajitas and would never recommend them! An abundance of sizzling great tasting veggies, perfectly cooked tortillas and the worst carne asada I have ever eaten. It tasted like it was boiled for hours and the texture of baby food. I've had all four fajitas offerings and the other three options on the menu are great. The jalapeno enchiladas are next level good. Great restaurant and highly recommend everything else!
