Backyard on Broadway - San Antonio, Texas

Mayes White

Backyard on Broadway is an absolute gem! This place perfectly blends great food, a warm atmosphere, and family-friendly vibes. The menu was packed with flavorful options, and everything we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.

The staff truly went above and beyond. From the moment we walked in, they were friendly, attentive, and eager to make our experience enjoyable. They even helped accommodate our picky eater with a smile—such a rare find these days!

But the real star of the show? The amazing playground and patio setup. As parents, it’s a dream to have a spot where the kids can safely play while we relax and enjoy a meal. The playground is well-designed, clean, and engaging, keeping our little one entertained for hours. Meanwhile, the spacious patio offered a relaxed, chic vibe perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long week.

Whether you're out for family dinner or just a casual hangout, Backyard on Broadway strikes the perfect balance. We’ll definitely be back—this place is a true treasure!

The food was great, but the pizza oven was broken and we didn't get to try it. The brisket sandwich was great. The outdoor playground was a huge plus. We had 3 or 4 different servers which was confusing. We will definitely be back.

When we arrived, the inside of the restaurant had a really strong chemical smell so we opted to sit outside. I don't know what the issue was but even my kids noticed it. We almost left but I'm glad we stayed because they loved the playground and the food was decent. The queso reminded me of skating rink queso, so if you're into that, you'll like it. The server was very helpful so all in all a good experience mostly for the outdoor atmosphere.

Food was sub par for the price and my kids chicken tenders were pretty burnt. My kids would not eat them. However the atmosphere for the kids is great as it features a large outdoor with kids playground. If stopping for a drink I do recommend. Service was a bit slow for the amount of people that were there. Worth another go

I first heard about this restaurant from the Facebook Group "San Antonio Restaurants". It was recommended to me when I asked for suggestions for a restaurant for my son's 3rd birthday dinner. I said we needed a location that was for mostly adults but yet kid friendly. So we selected Backyard on Broadway because it met the criteria we were looking for and we were not disappointed!

We had a wonderful experience! Dre. was the person who I engaged in communication with pretty much the entire time and was amazing to work with. All of my questions were answered and very timely! As soon as my toddler and I walked in their establishment we were greeted by the hosts who exclaimed, "You must be the birthday boy!!" I knew it was going to be a great experience from then on!

We had prime real estate seating up on the patio overlooking the playground. Our food was brought out hot and very quickly after being there. Our servers were hustling back and forth and did an amazing job of making sure our guests were happy. They took all of our special requests and made everything seamless. We had elderly that needed chairs with backs, dietary restrictions with gluten free crusts, small children and we were in the shade. They kept our cake and goodie bags with meltable candies inside their walk-in fridge until needed. Their PBJ pizza (pepperoni and bacon jam) was the hit of the party! Their chicken tenders were as well! They were not your basic tenders. These were super flavorful and oversized.

They said we could decorate the space, but I am not the decorating type so we just had a big banner and called it a day! It worked great on their space. After our dinner was over we had to make a quick dash to the Scobee Education Center because I had gotten all our guests tickets to the Planetarium. We broke down our sign and boxed up our cake and the restaurant said we could leave our stuff there and come right back and pick it up after the show! ? They were life savers!!

I could go on and on about how happy we were. I just wanted to let everyone know what a great time we had and that it was a great choice for us! Sharing a few pictures for reference. Thank you again to the ones that were helpful and recommending this place to us! We will definately be back.

If I had to say something negative it would be that their cups of salsa for their chips are too small. We need more salsa because they were really good!

Everyone was very welcoming and attentive. Food was great. We had a pizza, Juicy Luci burger and a Mushroom Swiss burger. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Pet and kid friendly.

I DO NOT RECCOMEND!
My family and I went there this past weekend. Terrible service, first it took forever for someone to take our drink order. They only had one Menu for a family of 5.
Finally, the waiter came and put our drink orders in on his little machine but still got our drinks wrong. We ordered sweet tea and lemonade for the kids. The sweet tea was disgusting, it tasted like it had been sitting for a few days. the lemonade was also disgusting. The food was pretty good other than my daughter's pizza was covered in grease I had to dab it with a paper towel. Also, no shade over the playground. THERE WAS A WASP NEST UNDER THE TABLE WHERE WE WERE EATING.
Also, the waiter included his own gratuity of 20% which he only deserved about 5$ if that. I will not be coming back to this restaurant

This place is amazing! Great outdoor space, playground for the kiddos, and an amazing menu! Burgers, Dogs, Pizzas, Sandwiches… you are covered! Drink menu is diverse with some amazing signature cocktails!

Service is incredible (We had Cheyenne), never had an empty cup and food was fast/fresh!

Would definitely recommend if you are out in the area!
