    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.

    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.

    Very good food!! I had a brisket sandwich and my wife had the Philly Ok... The bad first.. although service was good and definitely not the worst, I'm not sure if the young women are tired of guys hitting on them because of the crop tops. Alexis, our server, was amazing a couple mins after warming up to us.. That was the bad...lol The good, I ADDED An Amazing cup to my lavish stemware collection. See picture. The brisket was great. Taste was good, I wasn't looking for Franklins quality so for a restaurant. Darn good brisket. The fries I liked because they did have the great crunch at the tips. Love it!! My wife that doesn't finish anything... Left a little piece of her sandwich. Looked amazing and the onion strings were breaded just great. Definitely a good stop on our way through or taking some of my instructors out to lunch at.

    Jalapeño Popper Burger!

    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!

    There always running out of food, and take for ever when they actually do have what you want. Not worth the money.

    Decent place to grab a bite while traveling thru on a Sunday. Prices were pretty high but in line…read morewith other breweries in on the 35 corridor. Outside tables and lawn for the families to enjoy and let the kids run around. Burger was delicious, I changed out the goat cheese for Gouda. Really good! The fries were well seasoned and crispy. I had a blood beer that was ok. Super nice servers but they had a lot going on I guess. Total with tip came to over $35.

    I was extremely disappointed with the service! I went to the website to contact them directly…read morerather than posting a public review and the email address listed was returned as "jacob@birdcreekbrewing.com Recipient not found." So, I guess I have no other option than to publicly post my email message: "Hello Jacob, We are first time customers at this restaurant. Let me start on a positive note: - Shroom Burger and Garlic Fries were delicious! Now, for my disatisfactions: - We were at a 7PM graduation and needed a late dinner afterward. We chose your restaurant because you were open an hour later than others. No where on your website did I see any indication of kitchen closing a full hour before closing. Upon arrival we were told "kitchen closes in 10 minutes". - We quickly placed our orders and the marinara was the texture of water - INEDIBLE! I asked the server if they might have thicker sauce and her response was "probably not, kitchen's closed". An acceptable response would have been to double check and NOT serve substandard sauce to begin with! - I was drinking water. Forty minutes before closing the server took the three-quarter's full container and dumped it on the plants. I was planning to get more water! How about asking if anyone would like more before dumping. Basically we felt unimportant and not at all like valued customers. I am extremely unhappy with the service and plan never to return, despite the delicious food. Sincerely, DT

    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!
