When news happens, Dallas Observer is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If the Dallas Observer matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
Why: Because your back yard and your grilling abilities aren’t nearly this chill. But if the heat makes you less than interested in hanging out in the outdoors, there are two inside areas where you can congregate with friends.
The patio area that gives Jack’s Backyard And Chill Grill its name features an outdoor stage and plenty of tables, with a few trees providing shade from the sun, plus fire pits that are a welcome sight in cooler months. The bar area is a bit more spiffed up, but cozy couches and a pool table complement the homey vibe of this bar and grill on the northeastern edge of Oak Cliff — and helped earn it a spot among the bars listed in our recent happy hours cover story.
Also, the food ain’t bad either, with offerings ranging from burgers and brats to comfort food to the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts demonstrated in a 2009 Appetite For Instruction.
