This group covers the non-Asian restaurants, cafes, bars and food businesses that also appear in a mixed-cuisine food scene, including American diners, pizza, Mexican food, burgers, steakhouses and bakeries. Standard US restaurant norms apply: lunch and dinner service with a quieter stretch between, cards and tap-to-pay accepted almost everywhere, and a tip of 15-20% customary for table service. Fast food and quick-service counters expect payment up front and tipping is optional. Bars check ID for anyone who looks under 30, and the drinking age is 21 nationwide. Many restaurants in this group take reservations online through third-party platforms, while casual and fast-food spots are walk-in only. Sales tax is added at the register on top of the menu price and varies by city and state, so the final total is usually a few percent higher than the posted prices suggest.

Hours are published for 4 days a week. Typical hours are 2 pm–2 am. It is closed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach The Backyard at (979) 846-8806; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, backyardonnorthgate.com.

Its Google rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 333 reviews, a solid but mixed picture; reading the most recent reviews will tell you what to expect.

College Station is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and College Station follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

One of my favorite hang out spots in College Station. The entire staff is incredible including their managers, Cassidy and Kyle. Highly recommend!

I was there just having a good time and I got kicked out by 3 workers for no reason. Never tried to buy a drink or held one or anything. They’re strict for no reason, would not recommend

This place should be called the Scamyard. Bought five mixed drinks and was charged for ordering doubles. None of us ever order doubles. Bartender got to his $100 dollar threshold to be able to auto grat me the 20%. If he would have been honest and actually charged me what I was supposed to be charged, I would have tipped him way more than the $20 bucks. Hope it was worth it. Avoid this place!

This place is cool to come to ONLY if you dont interact with the staff. The staff are mean and constantly will double/triple charge your tips when they put them in at the end of the night. Very bad place. Very untrustworthy. I've now been overcharged by the backyard 6 times.

Looking for a place with real atmosphere in College Station? The Backyard should be at the top of your list. Nestled in Northgate at 303 University Drive, this spot blends backyard chill with bar buzz—boasting the largest patio and biggest screen in the district, plus two outdoor bars, shaded picnic seating, string lights, and yard games that invite friendly competition. On cooler nights or Thursday evenings, you’ll be drawn outside to watch live music—local favorites like Jared Shultz bring heat without the usual DJ playlist distractions. As night deepens, the indoor and upstairs areas crank up with DJ beats and dancing. When hunger hits, Mighty Slice Pizza delivers big, affordable slices on-site, while drink pricing stays smart and flexible—perfect for groups or budget-minded Aggies. Whether you’re catching a game, chilling with your dog outside, or dancing under neon lights, The Backyard delivers versatility and energy. Heads-up—ID checks can be strict, and it gets rowdy inside. But if your idea of a great night includes great people, games, live tunes, and an easygoing bar atmosphere, The Backyard is where fun sets in—and stays.
