If you are looking for great food, A LOT food, bathrooms clean, Best view, and Great overall, this is the place for you. This a highly recommended place for friends, family, and you!
There is a bar which is a big plus, and friendly service checking every 10-15 minutes if you need anything! They also have cheese cakes with chocolate, strawberry, or Carmel which you can choose! (as seen in the picture)

My Husband and I were looking for a cute date night spot close to home and we found the back porch! The atmosphere is cozy and makes you feel like you’re in your own home looking out over a beautiful view. They have yard games and a fire pit, which is great for a late night conversations. If You’re someone who enjoys sports they have a great selection of games on the TVs inside, but if you’re looking for an escape from your daily life in a restaurant style spot, I would definitely suggest the back porch! We will be going consistently!

First time here and this is a hidden secret. The atmosphere and vibe is incredible. The wait staff were so welcoming and we enjoyed conversation. The food was simply incredible. The steak was spot on, mash pot were like Mom’s and the fresh grilled veg was amazing. The wife never eats heavy, but the chicken fried steak was calling her name. She said it was the best she ever had. We can’t wait to come back and look forward to some live music. One issue, we are going to hang a Texas A&M flag bigger that that Longhorn thing you have hanging lol. See y’all soon!

If food was the sixth love language, The Back Porch would be fluent. So much happens over a meal… stories, laughter, and memories… and this place makes every one of those moments feel easy.
Finding a restaurant that’s welcoming with kids in tow isn’t always simple, but The Back Porch makes it effortless. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like guests, not just another table to turn. They’re warm, attentive, and genuinely care that you’re there… chatting with the kids, remembering favorite dishes, and checking in just enough to make sure you’re comfortable.
The atmosphere is inviting, the service is patient (a huge win when dining with little ones!), and the view is stunning… especially at sunset from the patio. It’s the kind of backdrop that makes a meal feel extra special.
The menu is a win for everyone… fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without being fussy. The kids’ menu actually has real food, and the portions are generous enough that nobody leaves hungry.
As someone who works from home, it’s also my favorite midday escape. A cozy space for lunch, a friendly face, and a view that reminds you to breathe… The Back Porch is a little reset button in the middle of the workday.
Whether it’s a weeknight dinner, a special celebration, karaoke night, or a quiet solo lunch, this place turns an ordinary meal into something meaningful. Genuine hospitality, great food, and a space that feels like home.
I recommend the pepperoni pizza with extra jalapeños or the club sandwich (secret menu item)

My husband and I visited this place for the first time as part of our ‘Date Night’ and I’m so glad we did! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a stunning view with a charming country-rustic vibe. We chose to sit outside by the large pond, and the overall atmosphere was simply incredible.
We started with the Mozzarella Sticks, which our waitress recommended, and they did not disappoint—crispy, cheesy, and delicious. For the main course, we had the Fish Tacos, which were excellent—no fishy taste or smell, just fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. We ended our meal with the chocolate cake, which was rich, decadent, and absolutely worth it.
To top it all off, our waitress, Macy, was fantastic—attentive without being overbearing and genuinely kind to chat with, and the prices are really quite fair. I 100% recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!

If you’re looking for an in and out dinner look elsewhere, but if you’re looking for a whole dinner experience, this is the place. Expect to be here for a couple of hours and enjoy the scenic view while here. The food is far above average and well worth the price for the portion sizes. The staff is welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere alone makes it worth coming here at least once. 9 out of 10 recommend trying at least once.

Great service and fun atmosphere. Large outdoor seating area. Pond views and corn hole. Highly recommend the Smash Burger, Hot Chicken Sandwich, and Greek Salad!

First time visit, won’t be our last! Had the “Doctor Dirty” drink—it was a tasty and wacky combo of Dr. Pepper, cream, and amaretto. Fried pickles had very heavy but yummy breading. I had the pesto chicken flatbread and it was GREAT! Husband enjoyed his OG burger and fries. Lovely view, cheerful server. Maybe a bit pricey ($70 all in for 2), but it was fun and we will be back!!

Last night was my second time eating at this restaurant. The atmosphere is great. Everybody is super friendly. Yes, it was a Friday night. Yes, it was more crowded than in the middle of the week. No, it was not bursting at the seams with people. We waited for over an hour for our food! That’s ridiculous. During this time we were attended by numerous servers, who asked if they could get us more to drink or was there anything else we needed… Not once did anyone assure us that our food was coming or apologize for the delay. It is only the friendliness of our waitress and the taste of the food that earns three stars for this visit. Otherwise, I would give it zero because of the amount of time it took to be fed.

This place is a nice place to stop in for drink or dinner. Food menu is great and a lot of great options. Drink menu is special and delicious. Sitting on the deck is awesome with the huge pond to view. Makes you feel like you’re at the beach.
