Backstage Club is a well-known spot at the Fort Worth Stock Show, offering a mix of good food and a lively atmosphere. Many reviews highlight the friendly and attentive service, with servers like Chris and Tatiana receiving praise for their professionalism and friendliness. The food generally receives positive remarks, with dishes like tenderloin tamales and steaks cooked perfectly, and sides that are hearty and satisfying. The house drinks are often enjoyed and considered a good value, with some noting that the cocktails are tasty and plentiful. However, experiences vary. Some found the food to be only good and not exceptional, and service can be slow or rushed, leading to issues with timing and incorrect drinks in certain cases. Portions like the salad can be quite large and may be better suited for sharing. The location can be tricky to find at first, but once there, guests enjoy the overall atmosphere and the chance to walk the grounds after a meal. Despite some inconsistencies, many visitors plan to return, especially during the rodeo, appreciating the combination of good food, friendly service, and the unique setting of the Backstage Club.
We've always considered the Backstage location as an icon of the Fort Worth Stock Show but this time was disappointing. Food itself was fine but not exceptional. Everything else was lacking (very slow bar service / incorrect drinks delivered / wait staff clearly hurried / timing of food & drink delivery was poor).

A little tricky to find at first but we enjoyed our first trip to Reata backstage. Food came out quickly and service was excellent. Not quite the same menu but a lot of the favorites. Would recommend.

Reata always serves up a great meal! So fun to have lunch at the Backstage Club then walk the grounds. Chris did a great job! Tenderloin tamales are the best!!!
