Half price beer on Friday’s so we stopped by to check this place out. Good atmosphere. Food was cooked well. We had Shrimp tacos and a bacon cheese burger. Burger was juicy and the shrimp was cooked and seasoned well. Overall service was great! Waitress was efficient, sweet and always checked on us for refills on our drinks.

We had a great experience here. One of the first restaurants we tried after moving to Wichita Falls. The service was great and the food was too! Been here twice now and it has been good each time.

Place is not very popular, I don’t think. I’m not sure I’m not from Wichita Falls, but when we went, our service was really good. We got seated quickly and our food came out in a matter of 10 to 15 minutes, the Texas style scenery was amazing and the TVs had baseball games on and I think some weird show, I was really just fantasizing about food 😂... and when the food came it did not disappoint, and again the service was great. The lady who served us deserve a raise! She was the sweetest soul. We went on my mom‘s birthday, and she was really pleased by it (which is surprising because she usually wants something specific lol..) anyways thank you Backporch Drafthouse for being amazing.

Loved that they had a gluten free menu! Our waitress was very knowledgeable about the gluten free items! Everything we ate was excellent. We are from Oklahoma and were out of town, I googled best places to eat in Wichita Falls, TX and this is the first thing that came up. I had the French dip on a gluten free bun, and it was good! Loved the atmosphere also!

The food is good here. I had the barnyard freak and that was delicious. The beef patty was great and it was topped with pulled pork a little bbq special sauce and pepper jack cheese and a runny egg. So delicious! Service was good as well it was busy went during a rush and we had a 8 top server did great though. I'd like to go back and try more foods but this is a great place to check out for some good burgers.

I was excited to try this place out since I was in town for work and craving a burger. I ordered a Frito Burger with the house chips to-go. I got back to the hotel and realized they forgot to add queso and only gave me a minuscule cup of chili… two pretty essential ingredients. The size was great, but pretty disappointed in my bone-dry burger. The house chips unfortunately didn’t seem to have any seasoning except for a few grains of salt. They pretty much just tasted like old grease.
