Cute little outdoor spot in Clear Lake which serves great Americana Food. Let me just say, the sweet tea is like your Aunt Bea's! Delish! I came with two teenagers craving the Mac N Cheese menu. One ordered the Nola and the other Garlic Mac. I did not hear them talk for 5 minutes!! The cheese was stringy and dishes were flavorful so that was a win. I ordered 8 pineapple habanero wings with Blue Cheese sauce. Wings were great- I would have loved it spicy though. I ate them all regardless. Final verdict- if you are in the area- stop by for a bite! Birthday boy received a free Strawberry cheesecake and our waitress was super attentive. A great way to end the day with dinner on the outdoor patio! read more

I came her a couple of months ago with a friend of mine. I got the elote mac which I would rate 10/10 but my friend gave it like a 6/10. I also bought the regular original Mac and my gf rated it 7/10. We got some other things but I don't rememeber what. I rememeber the floors and tables being kind of sticky which was a little off for us but service was nice. read more

Went to T-bone Tom's Backyard for a 50th wedding anniversary for some close friends. Even though the restaurant was very busy, the wait staff was exceptionally attentive. The food was exceptionally tasty and good portions. There was a great live band playing and a dance floor that was being used by a few of the patrons. Fun to be there. I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends or family to "The Backyard!" read more

Fun place, but they no longer have their vegan Mac 'n cheese on the menu. I'm vegan, so this is very disappointing. When choosing a restaurant to go to with family, I don't choose this one anymore. Too bad, because I used to love it and loved their vegan Mac. The vibe is great for a big family gathering and staff are fantastic. read more

Went here to have an Old fashion and a snack. The old fashion was good though I forgot to specify the liquor I wanted and I wasn't asked. They were delivered and not set on the little square napkin. Weird. The bartender was nice though. The bar atmosphere was unpleasant with the garish overhead lights. One of which most have been going out as it kept going dim then getting brighter at a pace just enough to mess with your eyes. Never have I been so sad to order the "sip only" old fashion and not something that you could drink faster to get out of there. But we tried to give the evening a chance. We decided to try some truffle fries. They were horrible. Barely cooked, certainly not crisp, not even browned, and looked like they were sprinkled with Kraft parmesan cheese. You know the one in the green can no one buys anymore? That was not any truffle oil I've ever had on delicious fries. The fries were also the frozen, right out of the bag thick, fat fries. Ugh. The silverware is laughable. I've had better quality plastic ware. The tines were squared off instead of pointed so you could barely stab a fry. Plus I didn't know metal could even be that thin. My nail file is more substantial...the one I got at Dollar Tree. Wait! I bet the silverware purchased at Dollar Tree would be an upgrade. I will have to look next time I'm in. Heck, plasticware would be an upgrade. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by The Backyard. It's in a little building with large outdoor seating area. We beat the dinner rush on a Friday about 5 pm. Immediately greeted and seated. Our meals were cooked extremely quickly and everything was hot and fresh. My wings were first and they were hot and crispy. Then the burger and fries which my guy loved. Then the salad. I was shocked at the generous portion of avocado as you see in the photo. The pico was pretty spicy so I picked out some of the jalapeños. The only thing that might have made it better was adding some black beans but otherwise still delicious. My guy was missing lettuce, tomato and pickle on his burger so you may have to ask if you want it. He thought it was an ok burger.and fries but left as a member of the clean plate club lol. Very convenient, clean, friendly and affordable place. read more

Should I try it? Absolutely! If you can sit at the bar, the conversation is light and casual. The bartenders are friendly. The place was recently updated. The food is always delicious. Outdoor seating is perfect! read more

Caitlin (sorry I didn't get the spelling of your name darling) is an absolute gem and the highlight of the place. Came in late AM for a small birthday brunch. There were only 5 of us so not a large party but difficult to seat inside. So outside we go...not my preference but whatever. It took a while to get each piece of our meal, from drinks & apps to mains. The guy that randomly came out from the kitchen acted like there were legos in his shoes. I got the backyard omelette and I was deeply unimpressed. Very bland and very small for the price. I love Mac & cheese so I'm tempted to go back but I'm very wary because the best thing about brunch was the lovely server and my bottled Shiner Bock. read more

Kind of a locals place. Nothing fancy. Service is good. Burger was okay but the various mac and cheese dishes are excellent. Been a couple of times and will definitely go back for more of those mac and cheese dishes. read more

We randomly picked The Backyard from Yelp to try something new. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was too hot to sit outside so we sat in the back at a small table and enjoyed happy hour with fried pickles and drinks. We had a great meal and a good start to our date night! This place is small and sweet! The outdoor area looked fun, open and inviting, but it was too hot to sit outside! Stop in and enjoy! We didn't try it this time, but the mac and cheese looked amazing!! read more

I never thought I'd be writing a rave review about macaroni and cheese, but here I am. I'm going to start with the portion is HUGE so sharing is almost necessary. I had the Nola and it was AMAZING. It was sooo cheesy and the andouille sausage and blackened shrimp were phenomenal!! I can't wait to go back and try the elote and the lobster! Oh! And the Lemon Drop flight was very tasty! read more

I hate to be 'that guy,' but ... meh. The quality here is phenomenal, and the menu is fun. I avoided this joint because of the whole trite mac & cheese thing. But I finally caved and ordered the Chicken Parmesan Mac to-go. First, the serving size and (once again) quality of ingredients is worthy. The menu description didn't exactly describe what I received, as there was nary a bite of fried mozzarella in the dish. There was plenty of fried -- and very dry -- chicken; the mac was cheesier than an episode of 'Three's Company.' Sauce was decent, except that there was little more than a tablespoon, which is hardly enough to define the dish. Hedging one's bets on a classic American dish that (mostly) is based on a blue box is risky, but these folks know their mac & cheese. It's good stuff, but I was mostly unimpressed. $14. Really? Good luck, guys. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday. Little did we know the main star of their menu "Mac n' Cheese" is only served later in the day (I believe it's after 2 pm) so time your visit wisely. I had the brisket omelette. It didn't have a lot of flavor nor did my grits-I doused them in Cholula sauce and got through it. It was a hearty serving however as was everyone's plate in our party. There was one person in our party of 8 who's food took a while but that was an anomaly because we saw the kitchen move pretty fast. Our server Chris was quite the character and there was a team approach so everyone who came to the table did so with a smile. Three stars only because there was one bathroom for all patrons and the food flavor. read more

Sadly, family and I have visited a few times before and have had a great experience until today. Went in for brunch and while staff was friendly they were inattentive to us. We ordered a simple omelet which came out undercooked and raw. No big deal mistakes happen, but we had to flag down another staff member to send it back but then came back out overly cooked. Scrambled completely hard, flavor lacked and still no check in from our server. Had to ask for utensils and basic condiments from multiple other staff members. Did not receive basic refill service on water or iced tea. Truly has to be top 3 worst service we have ever experienced which is disappointing considering we have loved this place! read more

The food was great as well as the customer service. The only complaint is that the soda machine was out and the tea was too clear to be tea! Popper Mac and cheese Wings Chicken sandwich and fries read more

Lots of food choices in the area within a mile. Backyard is unique for its neighborhood vibe -- laid back, no frills, no nonsense bar with plenty of big screen TVs to catch games! Vikki is the bartender who digs skydiving & mixes a great Smoked Old Fashioned from a well-stocked bar. Since there was a light crowd my order should've been taken earlier rather than wait 10 minutes after I got my Coke. Anyway, I promptly got my order, the Classic Cheeseburger & it didn't disappoint (check the pix)! Worth the wait - hell yeah! I'm picky about veggies. Loved the cool crispy lettuce & what may have been TX 1015 onions, my fave! Really added to its taste. White onions have a kick to it & kills the overall flavor for me. Oh man, the nicely seasoned patty rivals 3rd Ward establishments and that's saying something, folks. Griddle toasted buns top off a burger that satisfies on all levels. The fries are a bit of a minus for me. Other choices are available for a substitution price & only reason I stayed with fries. No tater tots here but should be added sans an extra cost. Lose the extra fee, please. Great conversation at the bar where I sat to watch games with staff & neighborhood regulars. No one is a stranger here. Nice positive vibe that keeps me coming back! Also try the Fruit Punch Beer from their personal brewery! Backyard should also get more sports fan patronage. This is a cool Sports Bar Dive! read more

Came here on Sunday to take my elderly parents to brunch. There were 6 of us and when we walk in we're greeted by the bartender. There didn't look like an obvious place to check in for a table. It was busy but not chaotic... we're told by the bartender "uhhh I don't think there are any tables in here but you can look outside" okay cool the 6 of us will just wander around I guess. So the SIX of us walk slowly (still scoping out the inside for a seat, there was a small booth and 3-4 empty tables but not cleaned and would have needed to be pushed together to seat 6) through the restaurant to the back area, it's nice and shaded outside but no empty tables. My parents do not get around very well so we're kind of just looking around while half a dozen employees say "excuse me" to get around us because we're wondering and looking and not finding anywhere and were never helped. So we left. It looked like it would have been a nice place to eat, but staff should help you find a seat , communicate an option to wait, direct you to a hostess stand or something instead of watching us walk around looking lost. read more

Just ate dinner here tonight at a picnic table on the patio. We had lots of great service and attention from the owner's brother (I didn't catch his name): he was on it with the iced tea refills, and provided our pup with water and some awesome treats. My husband got the NOLA mac and loved it. Huge portion with plenty of shrimp and sausage. My Nashville hot chicken sandwich was very tasty with a nice amount of heat. The atmosphere is very casual and it was nice to hang out in an Old Seabrook neighborhood. Though we were about a quarter mile from Hwy. 146, and the commerecial area, The Backyard was quiet and very pleasant. We'll be back! read more

Absolutely love this place!! The food is great and the drinks are priced good. Our servers are always the sweetest.

I am currently eating the OG Mac n cheese. It is amazing! I came yesterday evening and grabbed some type of specialty mule, it was great. I heard amazing reviews about their crawfish over the past year or so. Today I returned & decided to try some food. They have a full menu & I believe bar. All I can say is the customer service is amazing. I believe yesterday Tyler was here & today Vickie is here. They have both been amazing. As for the ambiance aspect of things it is great, they have Open bar area, A patio/outdoors area, and plenty space for families/friends to get together for a meal or a drink. & the parking is very easy & accessible for EVERYONE.

Had a recommendation from a coworker to try this place for Sunday Brunch. Other customers ordered Mimosa Flight, which looked good. Unfortunately, the food was VERY sub-par. Ordered biscuit and gravy ($10 for one biscuit sliced in half) and the gravy was SO SALTY that we couldn't even finish it. The same gravy was on my wife's breakfast bowl. The Cracker Barrel or Pelican Cafe in Seabrook are far better for gravy. Ambiance is hole-in-the-wall little cafe. The service was forgettable (Karra was emotionless and did not check on drink refills after we got our food). Majority of the food came, but my daughter's Waffle with Berries took 10 minutes more I can not recommend. read more

Always have fantastic food here, recently had an issue where doordash delivered the wrong food to me, I reordered my fries which doordash had refunded but they refused to refund my mac. I called up the restaurant and explained the situation to them and they were incredibly kind and understanding and remade my mac for me again and threw it in the order for me, and as usual it made an absolutely fantastic dinner!

Best brunch and atmosphere around. Employees are amazing and are very tentative to the guests

The lobster Mac and cheese was amazing. The atmosphere is relaxing and our waitress went the extra mile. We will be back!

I also saw some pics of this place from another patron. Wanted to try the flights. They were good. Definitely cool. The food, well, let's just say we should've stuck with the drinks inside. Lol. Oh yea we sat outside, we had our dog. Food was mediocre. I thought it would be better. Of course we didn't have any Mac and cheese and I think that's their specialty. Had a wrap and pork belly bites. Oh we went about lunch time and they had more flys than patrons there. Price you pay for sitting outside, but was t enjoyable. No biggie read more

This was one of the best places we tried in the Kemah area. Outstanding food and service. We visited twice within a few days and particularly enjoyed the burgers and Nashville hot chicken (and the fries). Yellow Rose IPA on tap was nice too, and the mimosa flight at brunch was excellent. Definitely try this place. read more
