Walking into this "pub" I almost turned around but then to see the lone bartender/cook I definitely questioned our choices. Vanessa was amazing... no one waited for anything and our food was ridiculously good. Can't say that I have ever eaten at a dive bar that was so good I wrote a review about it! 12/10 do recommend! read more

Extremely extremely disappointed looked online looking for a place that had steak sandwiches or ribs found this place online it said steak sandwiches were $11. I called and ordered two and an order of jalapeño poppers. I get there to pick it up. The young lady behind the bar says it's $48 that's excuse me $48. How does two sandwiches for $11 and an order of jalapeño poppers come up to 50 bucks and I showed her online what but it said on your guises online thing $11 for the sandwiches because all that's an old man she was $48 so the service was terrible. She was rude. I already posted on Facebook for people to be aware. I will never come back and to top it off. The food wasn't all that good solid. If your prices have changed, you should change them online. Also, there is a law against price gouging like this I don't expect a response, but just let everybody know beware. read more

6/20/23 I called on to get lunch. The worker was very kind and happy to give recommendations. Recommended the Philly cheese steak sandwich and said it's popular and she really like it too! Winner! Ordered it with no mayo, and a side salad with Italian dressing on the side. She said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I went on to get it shortly later. Greeted by a kind worker and order was ready. Abs brought to me. Paid for thw order and wished a good day! Very nice bar! Hidden little gem. Seriously though. It took a bit to find. You wouldn't know it's back there. Right, very end corner of the lot. Lunchtime! The sandwich is large. Already split in half. I had half and it was really good! Nice, spicy kick from the pepper jack cheese. Fresh bread, tomato and tasty Philly steak. The side salad was good. Fresh tomatoes, cheese and lettuce. Definitely missing something crunchy, like croutons, but still good! Good service and lunch! Recommended! read more

See all

This is a low-key bar with very loud music. I'd love the review the grill part but they don't serve food. Six or seven times, we've tried to order but we're always told they've just turned off the grill and fryer or they didn't get their food delivery or once a woman flat out said she didn't cook. If you just want to drink, it's okay,if you want food, don't bother to come. Supposedly they serve a good hamburger, be nice if I could actually order one. read more

In town for a funeral. Multiple family members at hotels all over. I wanted a "drink" with food and yelp shows this spot. Ordered a couple drinks, bar not too crowded yet for Friday evening order 3 burger plates to go. Kevin knocked it out for sure and I took his picture to send to the wife and sister that they missed dinner and a show. Great burger, good drink. Local crowd looks promising for evenings. Enjoy read more

No menu despite saying there was one, super loud music and zero customer service. Loved the overall aesthetics and so much potential though

Came here as a recommendation from a friend of a friend. I expected an actual grill and lots of food choices, but it's more like finger food. The staff was friendly and attentive and there was a chill atmosphere. Honestly I would've rated it a 3, but because the staff and atmosphere I gave this place an extra star. read more

I love having lunch here. The bartenders are sassy and sweet. The food is great; Stacy the owner / bartender / cook / psychologist / bad ass, can cook up some of the best food in town. Jeta (bartender)knows how to make the drinks you ask for the way you ask for it....if you know what I mean. read more

Backstreet Bar & Grill - Hanging with the locals this morning. Great times, sassy bartenders just the way I like them. - Bars Near Me - Madera, California

Says they are open until 2am, but nothing about the grill shutting down at 4:30pm on Saturday. I was craving a good burger and drove from Madera Ranchos just to get denied. This was my first and last time coming to a business that can't get their hours straight. read more

It was my first time here & I only tried the bar, did not try any food. I was a part of a group of 6 or 8, fairly early evening 7ish, found empty tables. The decor was modern, typical shiplap, amazing touch tunes music system. I ordered a margarita on the rocks and it was extremely bitter, vile really, whereas members of my party were having icy bottles of beer, no complaints from them. The room was stuffy and a little uncomfortable. Perhaps we got there late and got last pick of the seats or all the stools are tore up. I suggest ladies do not wear short skirts & sit on their stools unless you want pinching... read more

Backstreet Bar & Grill - Burger with Swiss and fries - Bars Near Me - Madera, California

Really good burgers, made right in front of you. They butter the buns after roasting them, if that gives you any indication on how detail oriented they are. Had the BBQ burger and it was tasty. Fries were seasoned deliciously. Enjoyed them very much. read more

Went here for the first time yesterday. I am always a little uncomfortable entering a new bar by myself. You just never know what to expect. I was meeting someone but was there first. I immediately felt comfortable when I walked in. It is a small bar. Has a pool table and jukebox. A nice long bar. But very few tables. I sat at the bar and was immediately welcomed by the bar owner Stacie. My drink was very well made. Stacie was very nice and chatty even though she was busy. I chatted with two gentlemen sitting next to me while sipping on my drink. When my friend got there we went and sat at a table. It was around 2 pm and the place was pretty steady. A new bartender started her shift. She was also very friendly (i can't remember her name) She took our order. We shared their bbq sauce burger and fries. It was huge and delicious. The bartender kept checking on us to make sure everything was ok. It was a great first experience I'll be back when I am in the area again. read more

The only reason to come here would be James the bartender.. that dude deserves a raise. read more

Pretty decent little place after remodeling. Menu definitely needs to be expanded...I stopped in for ONE beer....The reason for 2 stars is chicken shit policy of charging a $10 minimum for using a credit card. I only wanted one beer and didn't have cash. If you're going to have a point of sale system or credit card machine, suck it up and pay the fees, don't pass it on to the customers! I ended up using their ATM which was probably a wash with $3 fee it charged plus bank fees for using a different ATM....Selling one beer and running a card, getting a returning customer is better than being cheap and never having return business. read more

Great drinks at a great price! The chicken teriyaki sandwich was fabulous! Stacy the bartender was great! She makes a MEAN Black Superman! Will definitely be back! read more

Best food in Madera hands down~ Stacey also does specials that are just amazing... I have yet to try something that I did not like! This is a great bar with great people! read more

Terrible terrible place. Been there months ago and everything was great. Great food. Great service. But now. Ughhh it was like going to a house party and knowing you weren't invited and the owner of the house wanted you to leave. It took forever to get the bartenders attention. The beer was warm. The food was horrible and overpriced. And all the while the owner was sitting at the bar drinking. There was even a time when I was trying to get the bartenders attention, and the owner saw me, and just turned around and kept drinking. Oh, and there was only about 5 people there. On a friday nite. At 10 pm. Will never ever ever go there again. Like ever read more

It was calm,but lit. Great atmosphere! The staff made me feel at home. Definitely Madera's hidden gem!
