    It's Alaskan Fish Sandwich, not a burger! Fries good!
    Flory W.

    The food was great. The service excellent. The decor and ambiance also great! It's a bar! You'd expect it to be noisy! There's exciting sports on TV, of course, you'll hear a loud screams now & then. Sometimes, you're old and not used to people screaming anymore, but sometimes you forget, there's younger people than you there. Heck, the Alaskan Fish Sandwich, that I ordered, thinking it was hamburger, I started adding ketchup and asking for mustard, only to find out they're FISH! LOL Even the fries were good. The House Salad that came with the Tuna Melt, were probably one of the best salads we've had in the last month! (Road Trips taken in April, this is May 1st, DOES count). We'll be back, come June, when I'm doing another event in Canby!

    Spicy Mac & Cheese
    Kylie G.

    Dog friendly! I stopped by with two large breed pups and the server was more than happy to bring out bowl of water and even refilled once or twice when she noticed the bowl was empty. Great service! She offered some good recommendations and food came out fast & hot. I was in between the fish tacos or Mac & cheese, I ended up going with the Mac. The portion was more than enough for two people to share and possibly leave with leftovers. Thank you!

    My grandma and I went for lunch yesterday. Service was good, very friendly. However when I got the bill I was shocked that the ice tea was $4.25. The BLTA was reasonably priced except it was super skinny with only a few fries. I understand inflation however I will spend more if I'm not charged $4.25 for a drink that costs $.25 cents to brew. I just had to voice my opinion.

    Crispy Chicken Salad
    Robb C.

    I've been to Backstop Bar & Grill a few times and haven't been disappointed. Service was great, people are amazing, and the sports memorabilia makes this place feel like home. I had the Crispy Chicken Salad and will be ordering it again. If you're ever in the Canby area, I recommend visiting for a quick bite or to catch a game.

    If you are looking for the best Bloody Mary on the West side of the Mississippi come to the bar and speak with Leslie. She is so kind. -a well traveled bloody marryer

    Walking in the Backstop Bar & Grill is clearly family friendly. In our dining experience there are multiple generations of people from various walks of life. The music leans into country, and some more gentle sounding pop and rock. The staff were all warm, welcoming, and quick to seat us. We had calamari to start and the calamari was tender, and tasty. This app was definitely in line with American fried appetizers. I was impressed it wasn't overly oily. My son essentially filled up on these, struggling to eat much of his main course. They were really tasty, and paired well with the sweet chili sauce and lemons. The main dishes were quite good. My New Yorker was requested mid rare, and came out tender, and extremely well seasoned. The mashed potatoes tasted odd (similar to boxed but had lumps like real potatoes), the roasted veggies were delicious. The potatoes were the only downfall of my meal. My son got Coaches Club House! The sandwich was delicious, the portion could feed 3 people, and you need to really open wide to take a bite! The flavor was exactly what was desired. Toasted bread, perfectly crisped bacon, and the rest was all on point. He believes the fries could have been a bit saltier, but we all have our own opinions. Drinks: my son had a strawberry lemonade with refills, which he loved. I had a Blackberry Whiskey Smash that was tasty, and... calming. All in all the experience was quite wonderful. Little things that would have changed, but we are all critics, and "perfection" doesn't exist! I can't wait to go back!

    Came the RenFest, and wanted to find a place to sit and eat. There are two sides to this place. One for just adults, no kids allowed. Then the dinning side. I had 6 wings and fries. Did not disappoint. Wings were super crispy and fries too. Hubs had the swami burger on a gf bun. He was not impressed. Said he felt like it could have been saucy. The egg was fully cooked and not runny. Tots tasted like greasy balls. Kiddo had quesadillas w beans and rice. He enjoyed it. Place is busy! Service was fast.

    Barbecue brisket sandwich worst I've ever had completely waterlogged with soggy ciabatta bread
    Bob 5.

    so the customer service was fine. The atmosphere was nice for a sports bar. Type restaurant called the backstop with a baseball theme. The food however was some of the worst. I've had my wife ordered some sort of chicken, bacon, avocado wrap, which wasn't bad but then again with avocado and bacon on it, of course it had some flavor and you can't really go wrong with bacon on the other hand I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was one of the worst I've ever had it was not brisket at least not barbecue brisket. It was oven cooked steamed brisket that tasted like stew meat they cooled it down. They cut it into thick slices and then threw it on the flat top with a few bell peppers on top. Put a cover on top of it and steamed the hell out of it when it came it was so incredibly hot I couldn't even eat it, but it had absolutely no flavor. They put way too much water on it and steam the shit out of it washing all flavor away. The meat was waterlogged the bun they put it on was soaked because of all the water, the bell peppers were completely overcooked and mushy with no flavor and this was supposed to be a barbecue sandwich. It had no barbecue flavor. However, I did notice with one bite a small hint of barbecue sauce, but not enough to actually taste it. They did nothing more than to throw a slice of meat and some peppers underneath a steam pan on top of the flat top and boil the hell out of it. It's a shame because this is a cute little restaurant with lots of potential that I've heard lots of people talk about but just like my review they've all told me that it wasn't as good as it sounded or as they thought it would be it's a shame because this place has some potential they just need to hire a decent cook

    One order of the Mondo Burrito, split for us. Plenty of food for a lunch.
    Bill R.

    Stopped for lunch on our way back from Portland to Eugene. We split the Mondo Burrito (we often split, and especially at lunch). The picture is of the one order after splitting (they plated it separately for us, no charge and without asking). Excellent food! Great service!

    Tuna Melt and fries with a Deschutes Black Butte stout and a Backstop Ciabatta (turkey & bacon) and tots with a Pelican Hazelnut brown ale.

    We went here for taco Tuesday, they had quite the selection, very full and filling, ground beef…read moregreat flavor, carne asada, and fish. Corn, flour or hard shells, I had ground beef hard shell, and 2 flour cod tacos, came with salsa and sour cream on the side. Very filling , not street tacos, so 4 was plenty for me, service was quick. Nice good home town ambiance. There was a group of 10 of us. Felt taken care of. Prices were great, going to try their breakfast next.

    Food: Excellent quality Crispy Chicken Wrap. Two can share so large…read more Tatter Tot side was cooked to perefection Side Salad: had chopped, raw onion, mostly lettuce, few carrot shreds - it was a disappointment Ice tea: good; actually brewed Be careful when you order. Tatter tots, salad, onion rings, etc all come with extra charges. Menu is confusing. Service: they are under staffed in dining room. The bar workers, when get a break come into dining room to take order, deliver food, deliver ticket (only when asked). Original waitress was pleasant, friendly and very nice to work with. Bartender who took payment was rude and inadequate. Asked for to go boxes, and a to go cup. She said no problem. Never received to go cup. Was dining with another person and both our tickets were over charged! I left small 10% tip which I hoped would go to my original waitress but I doubted it thus why small. Ambiance: nice neighborhood bar. If the servie would of been better would return. After over charges and attitude, we will not be back.
