"The Blackland casual cafe’s happy hour is a good one, with $6 burgers and $9 double-patty burgers, $3 soft-serve sundaes, and discounted select cocktails, beer pints, and Lone Star cans. It’s available from 3 to 6 p.m. every day. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler
"The MLK cafe’s a.m. hours start at 9 a.m., full of breakfast and lunch dishes and, more importantly, cocktails, beers, and wines. It’s another spot with a good daytime happy hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Of the Bryce Gilmore restaurants, this casual Blackland cafe is the one with the best patio situation. Enjoy plentiful spaces with fantastic New Texan fare and cocktails. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
"The large outdoor area at the casual Blackland neighborhood restaurant is very kid-friendly, from the gravel ground to random yard toys to board games to misters. Pair that with an easy-going menu (yes, there’s a dedicated kids’ menu with a breakfast taco, quesadilla, and cheeseburger), and it’s a family winner. Takeout and delivery orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
