the Backyard Bistro - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Such a cute spot. Breakfast was delicious and fresh. Pancakes, omelets, potatoes, and biscuits all very good. While we did eat inside the outside patio with play structure and grazing chickens was a nice addition.

Went for dinner with friends. Great food. Great service. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

Small Cafe style restaurant with good food and great service. Prices are fare, and so are the portions. Try and plan a time to be here before the rush. Otherwise, you might have a little wait.

This place is great! I feel like I was dinning at my grandmother table. Food was creative and fresh. Will stop again soon.

Such a great place, it’s the best part of Pipe Creek. Food quality and creativity it top notch, the staff is friendly and attentive.

The pork ribeye is the best value meal in the entire San Antonio area. Great and Friendly service with a playground for the kids.

Took our kids and grandkid for breakfast. Good job Thanks

Absolutely delicious. Good food and service. Lots of deserts and homemade ice cream.

The food and service is great! Well priced!! I had the bison steak and it was cooked perfect very tender and great sear. Love going there to eat!

The food was absolutely perfect. So delicious. It gets pretty warm inside the restaurant, and that really would be my only complaint. Otherwise I could eat here all the time. The prices are amazing.

We celebrated a birthday and they were quick to seat our large party. The food was excellent and the pork ribeye was the best I have ever had. We will visit again, next time for brunch.

I love this place! Food is fresh and delicious, and the menu has something everyone in our picky family likes. After brunch, we love to visit the antique shop next door and watch the antics of the chickens and guinea fowl.

The best food in the Hill Country! Friendly servers and a great atmosphere! The chef, Aaron is always coming up with amazing specials daily and the food is top notch! Scratch made kitchen! Highly recommend!

the food is great, but there is a lady who sets the table, who is a terrible server, which makes me feel like we are unwelcome in the place, and that she is doing a huge favor by having customers and having to serve!

Best kept secret of Pipe Creek. My family and I have been going there for years. Food and service is ALWAYS EXCELLENT!!! Love this place! ❤️

This place was able to accommodate 12 people quickly. The service was impeccable and the food was fantastic! If we are ever back in the area we will definitely stop back by!

Oh my gosh. Incredibly delicious especially the pecan chicken.

We were out on a balloon chase for the eclipse and stumbled upon this place. We were very happy we did! The food was top notch, like you would find at a high end breakfast nook in a big city, but the prices were very reasonable. Good atmosphere, perfect service. This will be a standard stop for us when we're in the area.

Beautiful place and atmosphere, wonderful waffles

The staff were all so warm and welcoming. Charming atmosphere. The food was ALL so amazing and tasty! My steak was outstanding. The mashed potatoes were delicious and the grilled veggies were cooked to perfection. The Cream of Asparagus soup was savory and delicious, not too creamy...so delicious that I ordered more to go for the next day. My friend and her son both had the chicken fried steak and it looked fantastic. We all ordered different desserts to share. The chocolate cake was simply decadent. The pecan pie was amazing - the crust was tender and flaky and the custard filling was rich, smooth and sumptuous. The cinnamon, basil and black pepper ice cream was absolutely devine! We will definitely be back! So glad we found this gem!

First visit, staff was very nice, cozy aesthetic + there's a little playscape for the kiddos. The food was pretty tasty, would recommend & return.

Great food, great service, resonable prices!

the food was really good, perfectly cooked and well flavored. the basil & black pepper ice cream was really good too.

Lost reservation for 13 people called in 15 days ahead of time. Reservationist did not pass on to hostess.

Perfect place for a date or family time.

Very good food! Service was also very good.

Great food and a fun atmosphere

Good food, great service. An enjoyable experience!

Food barely had any seasoning. I don’t expect food with lotta seasoning in the middle of country side but barely cooked mash potatoes with no salt? Hmm . Pasta was just plain boiled.

This restaurant is a long drive from Bulverde. I have been introduced to this place about 11 years ago. I've never ever been disappointed with the relationship food at this place. I don't get there that often but it is worth the trip. Food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The service is great.

Wonderful Food, we had the Brunch sat inside, also a Great place to enjoy the fall weather outside they have wine and beer.

This place is AMAZING! The salmon eggs Benedict is pretty much the best I've ever had 😋

Delicious brunch in this typical Texan bistro! Perfect!!!

Everything was GREAT except the parking lot. My wife is confined to a wheelchair & maneuvering it was a painful nightmare. It's covered ruts and loose rocks

Great food, Its always consistent, From juicy chicken to perfect poached eggs. There specials lately have been delicious, Shrimp and grits to there pear and berry pancakes Always clean, waitresses are always friendly and welcoming.

It's a very quaint, home made experience. Tied to antique shop, you can see beautiful China and antique furniture. Inside the restaurant has plenty tables plus the outside for spring and autumn. I had a cheddar bacon omelet and my brother had the pecan encrusted chicken with noodles. The array of home made meals was deliciously amazing. The deserts however, are even more enticing as they also make ice cream from scratch. I would highly recommend the black pepper and basil ice cream which is subtle and tasteful. Literally everything from the eggs to chicken is farm to table, where you can taste the nutrients inside all the vegetables. Its also one of the few places around serving sea food. The food is truly awesome.

Hidden gem if your in the area on the weekend. They usually have excellent weekend specials alongside their regular items.

Honestly this is one of the best restaurants in the Bandera/Pipecreek/Lakehills area! It’s always fresh and delish!

Great food, nice backyard to have twin 4 year old while adults enjoy the meal. Everything I've tried here is delicious.

As good as it gets! Must plan to eat here!

So upon reading the reviews we were excited to try this place out. Unfortunately the food was not up to par. The pecan crusted chicken with pasta had absolutely no taste. The noodles were dry and no flavor whatsoever. The chicken wasn’t dry so that’s good but it didn’t have any flavor either. The fried steak was the same no flavor. The soup was good. (Like a chicken flavor) the service was good and our waitress was nice. I would not go back. For 4 people we paid about 120 with tip so it wasn’t bad for price.

Great food and nice little out of the way spot to dine.

Fresh hot food & amazing staff!

Food was really good, the service was excellent and the restaurant was all around wonderful

What a great place to get out of the city, to enjoy some wonderful food and people! A must try!

Great place to hangout with friends and family Great food fast service will definitely be back 👌

Pancakes were tasty and the service was great!

Food, service, drinks, atmosphere, value, everything was great. Colossal shrimp corn dogs were incredible. We drove 30 minutes and it was well worth it. I have a feeling this will be our regular place each time we stay in SA.

Family friendly with a playground and absolutely amazing food. We were not expecting this high of quality of a brunch place. Highly impressed.

Best hidden secret. Always fresh and tasty.

Man, thank y'all for that lunch! Pecan crusted chicken on lemon buttered noodles. Delicious.

A hidden gem ! We stumbled across this bistro and really enjoyed our lunch. The building was clean and the staff friendly. Such a cute little spot with plenty of seating.

We need more stars to give! So comfortable and quaint with wonderful dishes. Save room for PIE or take some with you. You can't eat here without finishing it off with their pies!!!

I usually enjoy everything about this place but I was a little disappointed yesterday when I called in a To Go order. The young gal that answered the phone seemed more bothered that I called than thankful for have a customer. After being told I could not order chicken salad because they were still serving brunch? I was allowed to order only a cheeseburger which was also from the lunch menu ( order was placed at 11 am by time I was to pick up it would be 11:30. Menu stated cheeseburger was $11 for a tea & burger order total was $20. Kinda pricy and I wouldn’t mind it it had been good. 4 diced tomatoes and 3 pieces of spring mix for lettuce. Not the quality of food service I am used to receiving here. Such a disappointment.

What a cute little place ... and the food was delicious too. Friendly staff! Next time you're near Pipe Creek, TX, make this a must-see place!

Loved the smoked salmon salad!!!

Food and atmosphere was nice, but the experience was spoiled by the waitress, who insisted on being called by the pronouns "they, them". That was foolish and arrogant and did not belong in the context of her job. If SHE wants to express HER social/political views, SHE should not do it at HER work with HER customers. BTW, SHE was pregnant and showing. In my book, that's a SHE! This is why the restaurant only gets three stars.

Backyard Bistro, located at 167 Panther Ridge, Pipe Creek, TX 78063. The Backyard Bistro is a cozy little establishment nestled just off highway 16. I highly recommend making reservations as the place can fill up quickly. Upon arriving, we were warmly greeted by our server, Angela. She was outgoing, very pleasant and extremely hard working. One of the things that immediately caught our attention was how clean the restaurant was. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and we felt right at home. My wife and I had dinner with two of our winter Texas friends, and everyone loved their entrees. I had the flounder stuffed with crab, which was cooked to perfection. The stuffing was delicious, and the fish was moist and tender. My wife had the pecan chicken, which was a unique and flavorful dish. Our friends had the salmon and catfish, and they were equally impressed with their meals. The Backyard Bistro definitely did not disappoint, and we all agreed that everything was absolutely delicious. The quality of the food was outstanding, and the portions were generous. The presentation was also impressive, and you could tell that a lot of care and attention went into each dish. Overall, our experience at the Backyard Bistro was fantastic. From the excellent service to the delicious food and inviting atmosphere, everything was top-notch. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great dining experience in Pipe Creek, Texas.

Cute place with good food and decent service. We will be back to try more!

Loved the salmon, coconut pie and cinamon basil & black pepper ice cream.

We are fans! We've eaten there several times and have enjoyed it each every time. My favorite thing is their homemade ice cream! The service has always been top notch; they're a sweet bunch of people there.

Just had the best pecan crusted chicken. And my husbands trout was amazing. Nothing is fried. The cinnamon , basil , black pepper ice cream was so creamy and perfect mix of flavors.

Real chef cooked food and good wine. Hard to find in these parts!

I visit here often with friends and always love the atmosphere it provides. The food always seems to be on point. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I definitely recommend their brunch!

This tiny bistro is hidden behind an antiques shop so you probably won't notice it if you're driving by. Despite it's hidden location, the place was packed. Even the patio dining area was full. The food was fantastic although the menu choices were limited. Definitely worth checking out!

Like a gourmet picnic when dining outside.

Wonderful dinner here with amazing dessert. Great service and a cozy atmosphere 😊 would definitely recommend

Awesome local spot in Pipe Creek! Great atmosphere, amazing food, and fantastic service!

THANK GOD we have a real chef in this area! I eat here at least weekly. LOVE the pecan chicken and specials. Yesterday had the chicken salad with side of fruit and it was perfect! No pictures I eat it up so fast! lol

Yummy food with a museum like store

Great little spot, the staff was so sweet and welcoming. The outdoor seating was great, definitely looking forward to going back.

Charming place with yummy good food! Service was excellent too! We'll be back!

Quaint little restaurant, good fresh food.

We really enjoyed our breakfast here. We had a reservation and we're seated right away. A reservation is not necessary but it is recommended especially on the weekends. They have indoor/outdoor seating. Very nice place. Great food and service.

The food and outdoor seating were good. The service I experienced was horrible. I needed to ask someone to take my order after 15 minutes from being seated by the hostess. Our waitress went to our table once to apologize for not knowing we were seated. She never went back to attend to us. When we needed refills of water and tea, I took our cups over to the kitchen. Our meal did not have all items because they were still getting made. 10 minutes after our meal arrived I needed to get our missing food items from the kitchen area. The only thing our waitress was willing to take us was our bill as I encountered her on my way to the register to pay. Perhaps I visited on the worst day of the year for this restaurant but I was expecting a much better experience.

Very good breakfast! Highly recommended

Really good food and warm atmosphere.

This is a hidden gem. The brunch and dinner is yummy!

Service was excellent. Everyone loved what they ordered. Make sure to try the biscuits and maple blueberry sausage.

Get a reservation, it's that good!

I love this place so much we come here all the time they have really good food

Very good. Not our first time. We keep coming back. We like the Salmon. Try the delicious deserts. Nice atmosphere. Helpful staff. Check their schedule.

The place is quaint and the service was wonderful. We visited for dinner and had a great meal.

Cute intimate casual country Cafe. Great menu choices. I had fried chicken, yummy! Hubs had eggs, sausage gravy (very nontraditional) and potatoes. All well seasoned. We started with shrimp corn dogs, don't laugh...deep fried shrimp with Thai chili sauce! Complementary chocolate chip cookies for dessert. We will be back. Check out the antique store too!

Friendly waitress, good food, great service. Outdoor dining and dog friendly.

Quaint, relaxing place with great food! Love that you can bring your own wine and just pay a cork fee.

Wow! This is a wonderful dining experience tucked away (literally) in the Texas Hill country. My first visit was for dinner - I was in every way very pleased. The service was both wonderful and attentive. food was exemplary ... and the cinnamon, basil, black pepper ice cream is something which must be experienced. Take the time, enjoy the drive, and drink in all that is The Backyard Bistro.

This place does not disappoint, some of the best food we have ever ate. Great service and atmosphere!

Love this restaurant! It's off the beaten path, but it's so worth the drive to Pipe Creek, Tx! If you haven't eaten there you've missed out - give them a try! The chef is amazing & the service & food is simply the best! 5+++++stars

This place is really good although off the beaten path. Prices are reasonable and the quality is very consistent. Great ingredients. Wonderful service and dog friendly!

Great indoor outdoor seating. Always quality food with good selection.

Service and food was amazing. Very friendly staff.

We weren't crazy about it, it was our first time there. However, we will try again as we love the atmosphere

Heard about this place from a friend and it was Great! My bison steak was delicious and my wife enjoyed her almond crusted snapper! Even had (what sounded weird but turned out delicious!) cinnamon/basil/black pepper ice cream for dessert and Yummy!!

Awesome food! Great old school taste. Hidden gem. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.

Great place, great food...been here several times and will continue to do so!

The food was absolutely delicious. Service was very quick and the staff are friendly. The homemade ice cream and shrimp corn dogs were amazing.

Small little place with great food....if you're out this way check it out....will return!

Had a four course dinner and everything was very good!! Very satisfying meal dessert was amazing try the basil cinnamon ice cream!! Sounds weird but literally best ice cream I've ever had.

Glad we found this local bistro! We came from a long hike/trekking at west peak overlook. We were so tired and hungry - drove to this place hoping that we will get a real good food. Backyard Bistro did NOT disappoint us. It was really good from main course to dessert. Their carrot cake was on point, not too sweet and rich with ingredients. Similar with our main course which was Pecan Crusted Chicken Breast and Egg’ Benedict with pork butt (the specialty of the day” Experience was really good and if in the event that we will be going back in that area we will for sure go back here.
