Doc's Backyard - Sunset Valley

Doc’s Backyard is a fantastic spot for families to gather beneath a charming grove of live oak trees. The spacious outdoor area features numerous picnic tables and a play area for kids. Even though it was bustling with people and children, I easily found a seat and was promptly served by the incredibly friendly staff. Doc’s boasts a full bar and offers at least 20 beers on tap. I tried the classic cheeseburger, which was charbroiled and tasty, though it was a bit overcooked for my liking. The cheese fries, on the other hand, were exceptional! If you’re looking for a place where couples can relax together with their kids while enjoying a few beers, this is it. Plus, the patio is dog friendly!

We had a wonderful experience here, even on a busy Sunday. The food was fantastic, and the outdoor seating area is lovely, making it a fun spot for kids with the playground nearby. The service was outstanding; our server was fantastic—probably the best we've encountered in Austin. We truly enjoyed our time here today. P.S. Their fried pickles are the best!

Doc's has quickly become my new favorite spot! Their happy hour specials are the best I've come across. The drinks are expertly crafted, and the appetizers are equally impressive. We enjoyed sitting on the patio under one of the misting fans, which was incredibly pleasant! There are several TVs around, and a spacious playground in the back for the kids to have fun. It's a fantastic place for everyone to hang out, and they’re even dog-friendly! The staff truly made our experience exceptional, and we plan to return frequently for happy hour.

Great food! My jalapeño burger was fabulous. Large playground with ample room for kids to play.

The outdoor ambience was very relaxed, the menu was well-varied, and the array of 40 draft brews was formidable! The food was really good, especially the onion rings! Jack, our server, was a paragon of professionalism. He juggled the 24 patrons attending my retirement party without missing a beat and was accommodating and wonderfully personable throughout the hours we were there. The misters helped cool things down, but were only available on the patio near the entrance, so some of the older patrons where we were sitting farther out had to leave early due to the heat. Seating farther out was well-shaded, but numerous grackles dropped 'bombs ' from above.
