The best mac and cheese in Texas comes in nearly a dozen delicious flavors, and it’s hiding at The Backyard in Seabrook. Tucked away between Houston and Galveston, this small, coastal town is worth visiting for this restaurant alone. The mac and cheese is just that good! From lobster mac to jalapeno popper mac and everything in between, The Backyard has it all.
Much like its name suggests, The Backyard is a cozy neighborhood eatery where friends gather to enjoy good times over great food.

The ambiance feels much more like a hangout spot than a restaurant. There are several couches where patrons can settle in and play video games, big screen TVs allow for watching the big game while sipping a drink, and dim lighting keeps the mood relaxed and low-key.
