Lizzie B’s comes to The Backyard!

Seguin gets new local flavors to taste-test

(Seguin) – Seguin’s list of local dining options has expanded to become even more delicious with the new restaurant, Lizzie B’s, now open. Whether grilled shrimp tacos, pan-seared ribeye, or its popular Smashburger, Lizzie B’s is The Backyard’s latest endeavor introducing restaurant-goers to its trio of menus to include brunch, lunch, and dinner.

The Backyard is a unique Seguin spot on the campus of what was once Seguin ISD’s Lizzie M. Burges kindergarten campus and has undergone a dramatic transformation since its purchase. Where kids once played, locals now shop, drink, and enjoy concerts at the venue. The Backyard’s owner Denise Leos says she and her husband, Freddie, have been steadily working toward creating this latest addition – an addition that sits nestled in the building’s original school cafeteria space.

“We knew that the shops here, the shops are a key so in order for them to succeed, we have to help so our purpose was let’s do a bar and it was great and we had a lot of fun but it didn’t help the shops because they were coming in at night and the shops were open during the day and then, we did do Lizzy B’s inside that one room probably for two weeks and then my husband was like, Seguin needs more because we noticed it that when we are working here -- we are leaving to lunch in New Braunfels or we are going to San Antonio because we want something different. Don’t get me wrong, Seguin has great stuff. They have great barbecue and Mexican. There’s a lot of great places to eat here but we just wanted something that we normally don’t get here,” said Leos.
