Seven months after Lone Star Grille & Amphitheater in Cedar Park closed its doors, a new restaurant and music venue is scheduled to open. BC’s Backyard Bar & Grill expects to open by July 1, according to the senior partner on the project, Bill Wagner. “It’s a very service-oriented concept; we’re taking the approach that we don’t want our people to have to wait,” he said. Wagner said the restaurant, bar and venue will serve dishes including comfort food and Mexican- and Asian-influenced cuisine. He said he plans to host events at the location such as live music concerts; reggae performers during brunch on Sundays; kids' night with popcorn, hot dogs and movie screenings; and football nights with NFL or college game viewings. “[Cedar Park has] the right people that we want to target to bring this live show into the community,” Wagner said. “We like Cedar Park, we like Williamson County; we don’t like all of the congestion and all of the effort it takes to see a show in Austin.” BC’s Backyard Bar & Grill 1501 E.
