Went to Backroads Burger & Bar last Monday night and really enjoyed the patio seating (the inside is soo dark). We were pleasantly surprised to find out apps were 25% off- which meant we had to try the pretzel. I think it may have been the biggest pretzel I've ever seen in my life. The outside was a melt-in-your-mouth fried texture with the inside being soft and doughy in the best way. Paired with any of the 3 dips, it made for the most delicious appetizer that essentially filled up our entire table itself. Special shoutout to the arse sauce & their honey mustard- sooo good. The table also tried the buffalo chicken wrap (YUM), caprese sandwich (good!), and penne alla vodka (somewhat mid but better as leftovers). Sweet potato tots were the perfect side. This was my third time here and they honestly never disappoint. Service & food always hit. My go to spot when visiting Plainfield! read more

I decided to give this place another try. We had lunch with some friends who lived in the area and they recommended it to us. Luckily, this visit was much better We arrived right after they opened on Saturday afternoon. The location was easy to find and there was a decent amount of parking. For lunch, we shared the 1.5lb pretzel which was more than enough for our group of 5 1/2 people. As for my burger, I got their Blue Cheeseburger. Overall, it was a decent burger. Good flavor, cooked a nice medium rare which I wanted. Our waitress was nice and friendly and the price was reasonable for 2 adults and 1 kid read more

Yummy burgers!! So happy we found this place! Big selection and everything is always good! Highly recommend! read more

Went back to Backroads recently with my daughter and grandsons and I got my favorite burger I have ever had "The Bourbon Burger" and my daughter actually got the "That's My Jam" and said it was the best thing she has ever had. We had Loaded Backroads Barrels. This has to be my favorite burger place. And Lauren was our server and she was super friendly and on top of everything. She is definitely a people person!! Loved her. read more

Amazing rice that accompanied the Angry Shrimp tacos. I would order the rice all on its own!! It has a little spiciness and cheese. The tacos were very good too. Also, the amount of food was enough for leftovers!! read more

5 stars Came to Backroads Burger and Bar on a slower Monday afternoon and had a great experience. They have an awesome selection of burgers with a really fun variety of flavors, so there's something for just about everyone. The beer selection is also impressive, with plenty of good options to choose from. I'd love to see an even broader selection of local beers to pair with some of the unique burgers, but overall, the choices were solid. The real standout, though, was the hospitality from Abby. She was incredibly attentive and made those little thoughtful touches that really make a difference. For example, I stepped away from the table right as our drinks were coming out, and she actually waited until I sat back down to bring mine instead of leaving it unattended while everyone else got theirs. Small detail, but it showed how much she was paying attention. Her recommendations were great, and her service made the whole experience that much better. Great burgers, good beer, and excellent hospitality. Definitely worth a visit. On a personal note, my parents just moved to the area, and I'm really glad they now have a place like this nearby to enjoy. read more

We went in for the first time to watch cubs vs Sox game. It was busy, but the bar is huge so we got a seat no problem. There was a patio with a TV outside also, but decided to sit at the bar. 2 bartenders working and they seemed to be in top of everything. Just got some draft beer and ordered the Philly rolls for appetizer and burgers. The Philly rolls were just OK, they came with a side of salsa and queso, the queso was the best part. Burgers were awesome! I got the bourbon BBQ one with bacon and cheddar cheese, bourbon sauce was delicious, not too sweet. I got the mashed potatoes for a side, no gravy. Definitely will be back! read more

Quality sports bar located in the far SW burbs. They have a lot of burger options, I got the STACS burger, which was quite good and big. They also have a pretty good craft beer selection, including a house ale even, which I got, it was a pretty good pale ale. I always like when restaurants have that. They have plenty of TVs to watch sports game, it seemed just about every NFL game was on, so a good place for viewing games. They have a bar section and several tables, lots of space. They also have their own shared parking lot with plenty of room. Idk how many other places are nearby, but this may be your best option in that area for sports get togethers. read more

This was my second time here. I enjoyed the Dublin Roundabouts more than my previous burger. However my companions who had the leid burger and another order of the Dublin Roundabouts weren't so impressed. They complained about the food being lukewarm. Also the waitress put in the wrong order twice. However it was hopping with lots of people in big groups celebrating the holidays. Christmas drinks sounded great but we just had beer and soda. read more

Really liked the food and atmosphere here. I had the Mike Bison which I don't totally recommend, just didn't have a ton of flavor and was a little over cooked. But I also tried the Decision is Yours, Rio Bravo, and the Pickle Me Elmo and all three were awesome. I loved the Philly Rolls and sweet potato tots as well. Beer menu did not disappoint! read more

Today my family and I had lunch and had Taylor for a server. Taylor was amazing! She checked on us just the right amount gave food recommendations and was well informed on the menu. We ordered the spring fling, two burgers, and a big pretzel. All the food was cooked to perfection and tasted great. The restaurant was full, and Kaylee was pleasant at the hostess station. We will for sure be back! read more

Recently visited Backroads and it was a fantastic experience from the moment we walked in the door until the check was paid. The food was delicious and the service impeccable. Our server, Taylor was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. read more

Food: 5/5 hot, fresh, flavorful. Crispy fries, seasoned patty. I didn't get a picture of the fire shrimp because it was so good. Service: 4/5 they weren't super busy but they only had 2 waitresses servicing the whole place including bar and hosting. But they were nice and helpful Ambiance: 4/5 because the decor wasn't my taste but the establishment was clean and really big. read more

We came here for dinner over the summer and had a really great time! It was bustling and Backroads is your lovable neighborhood burger joint. We were seated at high tops during a "Singo Night" (music bingo) and I opted in to casually play and stamped my sheet when I heard a song played that was listed. There was indoor and outdoor seating available. It was sweltering hot so we chose indoor seating. There was a mix of families with kids, date night couples, friend groups, and (very likely) the Singo regulars having a ball at the bar. I was in the mood for a buffalo chicken wrap and asked if I could have it with a plain tortilla instead of a tomato basil flavored tortilla. Our server was really nice and was able to make the adjustment. My husband ordered a Stacs burger with onion petals which came with a side of jumbo potato wedges. Our food came out pretty quickly, even during one of the busiest nights, and their servers all seemed to be friends and worked together, were kind to customers and to each other. Fantastic service and excellent food. Backgrounds is all-around a great place for a beer, burger, and bingo. We are fans! read more

Excellent burgers,and appetizers. We tried the new Corned beef burger and the Hold my Beer burger, both were delicious! The new chicken empanada appetizer was SO good. Great recommendations from our waitress Connie! read more

Great burgers and tasty apps. They do a great job of shading the outdoor patio area. Many places are hard to sit at sunset. Not here. Sun was rough driving in, very pleasant to sit and eat. And the restaurant inside is unexpectedly large, so they can handle a crowd. read more

This was the first time I was there. I've driven by it many times but never stopped in. I had a craving for a burger and checked out their menu online. I'm so glad I did. The burgers were awesome!!!! My wife and I had Vivian as our server. She was great. We told her it was our first time eating there and she was very helpful with our burger selections. We will definitely be going back. read more

I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here last night, and it went absolutely amazing! The food was brought out quickly, and it was delicious. The space was organized well, and I was able to bring decorations in early as well. The servers were wonderful, helped the needs of all patrons, and were overall pleasant and kind! The owner, Dave, was great at communicating and was incredibly helpful through the planning process. I would highly recommend hosting events at Backroads! Thank you to the team for making my rehearsal dinner so special! I will always be so grateful. read more

I've dined at Backroads three times now. The first visit was decent enough that I decided to return, but the third experience was really uncomfortable and disappointing. We were seated in a booth with a large party directly across from us that included several kids. What stood out most was one of the staff members running food, who was wearing very short Daisy Duke-style shorts that were quite revealing, showing a lot in front of families, kids, and other customers. It made for an awkward atmosphere, especially since this is a family-friendly spot with couples and children coming in regularly. I'm not sure if they enforce any kind of dress code for staff, but it felt inappropriate for the setting. I won't be returning or recommending it for double-dates. Food isn't bad but the service and ambiance isn't meeting expectations. read more

Awesome apps, burgers, sandwiches and dessert! We will be back! Great service too. Try the angry shrimp and pretzel to start. read more

Food is excellent, however three or four times in a row now we have been super disappointed. We have tried three times now and they had either jackpot bingo or singo going on and it was so loud that you couldn't have a conversation with those who were across the table. Tonight, we turned around and walked out after one step in the door. read more

Well seasoned Yellowstone burger, balanced with sweet and heat. Fries coated crispy, hot. Broccoli was perfect tender. Great service outside patio clean with pleasant atmosphere including March Madness on screens. Definitely plan to return. read more

Lucky for us, we always seem to get Laurie as our server and she is so attentive and knowledgable. I am sure she will see us many times this winter!! Highly recommend! read more

Always great food and service here. Today they went the extra mile. We sat outside. Yes it is 1000000 degrees but the space is shaded with fans. They also have a mister down the middle. It wasn't on and someone asked for it to be turned on. At first it was lovely. Felt like it was 10 degrees cooler. Then it started to get too foggy. Couldn't see the other side of the space. It was super super muggy and uncomfortable. Within in minutes it was turned back off. I was going to say something but they recognized it right away. I'm surprised there wasn't a thunderstorm! we got fried green beans. They were brought out by the owner who took our order too since our waitress had a 30 person group that all wanted seperate checks! He also took our order since she was busy. Back to the beans. He thought the serving was too small and gave us another one! We both had burgers. Always good. $5 off on Wednesdays. That was a nice surprise lol Great food and service like always. Got checked up on by a few servers. Nice to see them work together. read more

Great place to get a wide selection of beers, burgers and salads. In addition they have tacos, brisket and chicken. Big menu! Great service by Connie. On Tues night they've got live bingo (free!) for prizes. We'll be back read more

Once again, a great experience and Kaylee made everything even better. The Reuben was really tasty and the fries just took it over the top. The burger is, as always, just right. Don't change anything. read more

I have now been here 2 times within a couple weeks of each other and I liked the food both times, but the service here is absolutely awful. The first time we had Connie and she rushed our order, was yelling at kids in the restaurant because they had a little too much excitement and while I may have thought they should settle down it's not her place to do that when the parents were already on top of it. Not to mention she isn't their parent. The second time was yesterday and we had Steph L. As our server and we got there around 5pm and it took 15 minutes to be greeted when her section only had 2 other tables who already were helped 1 eating and 1 whom needed to place an order. She didn't check on us, and made a comment under her breath when we asked for a refill. Again the food was good, but I cannot say I want to go back after 2 times of bad service. read more

We have been here a few times. And enjoyed the burgers. We decided to go back as we knew they had BOGO burgers. As they have very steep prices. The server said it's BOGO wraps and sandwiches so we did that. Got the check and it's BOGO 1/2 off. We tried the cheese curds and for $16! They should have been the best ever. These things were grease balls. I could not make it home, my stomach was turning so bad we had to make a pit stop. We will probably stay away for a little while. $18-$20 burgers too. It's a fun little spot. I wish the prices were easier in the wallet. read more

We have been going here for a years now and we have never had a bad meal. The angry shrimp is to die for!

Backroads is always one of our go-to places. The food has never disappointed! We love having a quality, neighborhood restaurant to visit!

I found this place off of the top places to eat in the Chicago suburbs on Yelp 2023. I read online about people having to make a reservation. We didn't and we didn't have to on a Wed night. Huge parking lot. Plenty of tables available. Service could be improved, our waitress was decent. Prices are not expensive. I like the different kinds of meat you can have on your burger. -blue waterfall cocktail 5/5 a litter bit of a bitter taste -the passion punch 5/5 sweeter taste -boujee burger 5/5 - 1/2 lb of Australian wagyu patty medium rare very tasty. Melts in your mouth. -arse - i custom made it with pretzel bun, wagyu medium rare, Italian beef on top of the burger, lettuce, tomato, crispy onions, white nacho cheese, and roasted garlic aioli. It came out to be a palatable combination. read more

Standard Burger Bar restaurant. Service was very good but the food was just ok. The Philly Egg rolls looked and tasted more like larger Pizza Rolls. They weren't bad but I was expecting an Egg Roll texture. I got the Backyards Brisket which was good but it was drenched in sauce and the cream cheese made it so messy to eat. I probably should've stuck to a Burger. The Tots were the best part of the meal and extra crispy. Large outdoor patio and inside is pretty sizeable but wasn't overly crowded. read more

One and done. Mediocre burgers. Yes they are very large, but most of it is bun and very little of it is actually burger. The meat was truly tasteless. The prices are steep! The reason I go out is to have something as good if not better than I can do at home, this was not the case here. read more

Now if you're looking for a new adventure for some great food you have to go to Backroads Bar and Grill in Plainfield, this was my first time there and it was amazingly delicious, we had the "angry shrimp" and it does not disappoint the flavor was spot on with just the right amount of spice and heat, then we had the "Rio Bravo" burger, there are a lot of different choices of burgers ours was mouth watering with so many great flavors, this is a must try, you will love it, there is also outdoor seating, what a great place. read more

I first noticed Backroads Burger while in search if sweet tea to eat at a BBQ joint in Plainfield. Fortune smiled on me again as I was back in the area and after some information form Yelp, I decided to give it a try. The place was packed on a Friday night. They have so many burgers to choose from and you can make your own. With some help from my waitress, I decided on The Yellowstone. The Yellowstone has Blueberry Chipotle BBQ sauce, a whipped cream cheese, white and yellow cheddar, fried onions, bacon, and lettuce. I ordered mine without lettuce because lettuce is a waste of space and takes away flavor from other ingredients. Please don't come after me but I also ordered mine without bacon because I'm that weird carnivore that doesn't like the texture of bacon. I had a choice of patties and I chose the Brat one. This burger was amazing but I think I would choose a different patty next time for this burger. My fries were hot and crisp. I asked for BBQ sauce on the side and it was a warm, Texas Style BBQ sauce. It was tangy and peppery. Surprise! They serve fresh-brewed sweet tea. I cannot express how much difference it makes to fresh-brew tea and add sugar during the brewing process. I think that's why sweet tea isn't popular in the Midwest because if a restaurant has sweet tea, it's either bottled like that garbage known as Pure Leaf or comes from a dispenser made by that abomination known as Gold Peak. I would order sweet tea from Backroad just because it is fresh-brewed in house. I can't wait until I get another burger from Backroad. read more
