Backwoods Bar and Kitchen - Hole 9 - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Pennsylvania

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is fun with garage doors and outdoor seating in the warmer weather![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service can be spotty but for the most part it's good. The food is a mix of bbq and American with a twist. The summer cocktails are delicious. My favorite on the menu is the wing bites and flank steak. read more

If I was able to give this place a one star review I really would with that being said I'll start with the only good thing this place is going on for it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere and the decor at the restaurant is amazing. Nice outside restaurant with a nice woodgrain feel makes you really feel like you're in the country.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was the worst service I've ever had in my 27 years of exist. My son, my girl and I sat down for dinner waited 45 minutes to get asked three different servers who walked by where is our server one of them lay it to the other server or anybody else in the Kitchen. Sidenote my son is under two years old. It's not like he's a grown child and it's not easy to take him out in general so when we do take him out, we would like to have decent meal. After we finally get a server, we have to wait an additional 15 to 20 minutes to get three waters. had didn't even bother to take our food menu mind you they know that we were sitting for 45 minutes with would think after 45 minutes People would know what they would wanna eat. We're in a total of an hour to finally put our food in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If the place was busy, I would understand however wasn't that busy that night maybe 10 to 12 tables which if you haven't been there 10 to 12 tables doesn't really a lot for that place, you could house a lot more people than that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Then we finally get our food. The first thing we got was the appetizer was cowboy nachos at this point I didn't keep track of how long it took for us to food, but I knew it took a long time since we put in our order. When the nachos finally got to the table they were already soggy. I understand that the cowboy nachos come with baked beans however baked beans shouldn't make the nachos that soggy that so quickly. The next thing that came out was my burger. I asked the waitress if it was a fresh burger she said . Spending 20 some dollars on a burger and getting a frozen patty after you asked the server if it's fresh is absolutely insane not only does she not know the food menu that is way overpriced for a frozen patty if I wanted frozen patty, I would've went to a fast food chain and a lot of money. My you once again is under two years old. Got the chicken tenders and fries. They put a seasoning on top of there's nothing wrong with that but you think you would ask since you could clearly see that the chicken tenders and fries were for a 18th month old child. Now I have an upset baby who hasn't moved in over an hour with food. He's not gonna eat besides the chicken tenders to say he was miserable for the entire time he was out as an understatement. If anyone's a luxury to bring their child, you know it could either be really good or really bad. He was in a great mood until we got to the restaurant. He was a great mood when we got to the restaurant somewhere around the 30 minute his mood started to change. It's really hard to pick up and leave a restaurant with a hungry child that age as well. it's not like an easy getting in the car thing. For those who are wondering, my girl got a salad nothing much to really say there she wasn't blown away by it and you really can't mess up a salad. At the end of dinner, we were asked how was our experience we spoke to honestly we told them the truth we were telling them everything we wrote in this review. This and this is the only reason I'm writing this review. We were promised a gift card for the terrible experience we had. They said they would mail it out to us and never did. I called back about the issue two weeks after I figured that was ample amount of time to receive a gift card in the mail. After calling back, I was put on hold and told to call back later in the week. I called back a little over a week speak to the same Annie that I've been speaking with this whole entire process. She apologized and said she will hand-deliver this gift card. It's been an additional three weeks and still no gift card has been dropped off to my home. I'm not writing this review because I didn't get compensated for the terrible food and service. I'm writing this review because the fact that the service was terrible. The food was awful and I was lied to by the staff about making everything right multiple times on multiple different occasions is absolutely insane. I really hope the owner sees this in questions his staff. And said she's the manager and she said she would make this right on multiple occasions and she lied to me in person over the phone countless of times. I figured with her being an older woman her word would be gold like most people born in her generation. Clearly the staff word means nothing. Now I will never go back there, and I will tell all of my friends and family to never go back there. If anybody ever brings up backwoods, I will tell them the terrible time I had along with my family. I never wish non-success on anybody however, this is the first time in my life that I hope our restaurant. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere with great cocktails and food.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wait staff is very attentive and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The deck and new pavilion is a beautiful spot to eat outside in the summer with it over looking the golf course![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Backwoods is an oasis in a food desert. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is warm and relaxing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], the service is always friendly and the food is a welcome break from the tired old pizza and wings on every menu in NEPA. Their smoker is heavily featured so expect a unique barbecue approach to meats. Their seasonal menu always features a fun weekly special that makes good use of fresh ingredients sourced from local farms and vendors. Don't sleep on the decadent pies made in-house by their best server, Annie! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great spot with an awesome ambiance and craft beer lineup on tap, there's always something interesting to try.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had the Caesar salad with salmon, which was excellent, and the chicken wing bites are a must. The service is always friendly and welcoming, especially Becca behind the bar, who's fantastic. We always feel at home here and keep coming back. read more

Great BBQ prices are fair, brisket is fantastic and so are the fries. Service was fast. Overall a good lunch! I'll be back.

Nice location, and they have outdoor seating and live music on Saturdays, which is when we went. Our food came really late and the food was just mediocre. read more

For what it's worth here in the endless mountains, it's a good place. There isn't much around. The restaurant is spacious, has indoor and outdoor seating. There was a variety of food choices. Food is good. I really like the attempt of having "steamers" on the menu. Even though when I ordered it, it was just cherrystone clams. Service was friendly when we went on a Tuesday night for dinner. I'm very confused by the vibe of what the restaurant is trying to do. The plate for fish and chips had a diner, Gramma feel. It's a different style of plate used to for the salmon dish and the sandwiches came on a metal tray. And so were the utensils and napkins in the metal container on the table were very backyard barbecue, but the room felt modern and not rustic. Lots of going on there. On top of it all, there were some remnants of New England through the food choices. Giving this place 4 stars because it has a lot of potential P. S. We were surprised to see beer from Maine and other unique selections read more

We were looking forward to the venue based on recommendations. The wait staff were very good And accommodating. Saturday night, no music, not well ventilated. The burger was overdone and very dry (tasted like a pre-made frozen burger. The brisket had little taste and was very dry. Salad was not fresh, looked somewhat wilted. Unfortunately it did not live up to the recommendations and we will not return. read more

We made reservations and sat inside in a Big booth... The waitress was super nice and helpful! Thank you!!! Okkk first review of this place - first support local! I order braces cider and it was good ! Order the fish chips - my fiancé did and I ate one 3 big pieces of nice -were awesome 4/5 bc it needed some sauce to dip ! Coleslaw was not coleslaw it was umm a bit different is how I would say it . Chips where actual chips so switch to fries if u can bc it's not Europe. I had the eggplant pasta - and I asked for bread with it bc it was a weird taste I say the chef added tons of Oregon oil with other flavors to make it a big mishap of flavors not sure but it had a small kick to it -- would not order that again . I was lookingForward to ordering some thing Lebanese because the chef is supposed to be from Lebanon ( I am also Lebanese) and I did see that there was one thing on the menu that had to tZieke sauce on it but it because it was an appetizer for $13 I decided to avoid that because it's a small plate for shrimp with tZieke sauce ... Hoping the menu keeps changing and then I come back again with a variety of foods that I would enjoy eating this menu is a little bit tough to pick from if you didn't want steak or burger Needed more lighting pulling out of parking lot Also keep your Covid mask on bc it stinks like sewer outside in parking lot - read more

We found this place after going to nearby Misericordia for a game. It was dark and it's literally in the middle of nowhere (as the GPS tells us we are almost there, I cannot see anything, but then it just popped out). Very cool vibe. Really liked the atmosphere. Really good service. Decent drinks. Cool menu with great selections BUT so salty. Everything was super salty. I very rarely send food back, but in this case, it was too salty to eat. Perhaps the night we went, the chef had a heavy hand? I don't know. Backwoods Bar is just so close to being awesome. Really great potential. read more

I really wanted to like this, we went before and loved it, and I chose this for my birthday dinner, but the night was lackluster. First my seat was right by a door, literally right next to it, so constant traffic around my back, but hey, someone has to sit there. I ordered steamers and fried chicken, my wife ordered fish and chips and then at the last minute deviled eggs. Plus some cocktails and wine for the wife. First the good, my wife loved her wine and the fish and chips was awesome. Two huge pieces of fish and great fries. The deviled eggs were the star of the night. Also I liked my first drink. The steamers came with no butter or bread for the broth, and they were VERY sandy. My fried chicken was ok, the bacon maple sauce was great, but the chicken was three pieces of boneless breast. I prefer dark meat or at least bone in, but I put this on me as ordering the wrong thing. It wasn't bad, just not what I liked. And the mashed potatoes were dry, needed some more butter or something. My second drink was a watermelon margarita, very watery on top and sickening sweet on bottom, must have never been stirred or shaken at all. The woman playing guitar ands singing was great! All in all I was disappointed.... read more

Wonderful atmosphere here! All new and fully renovated at the golf course, just had the delight to go here last week and it was great! Has great menu options and lots of very cool cocktails to select from. Definitely stop by for dinner and a drunk when you're in the area! read more

After a nice day of the hubby golfing and having the house to myself, I can meet him here for dinner. The appetizers are fantastic, I regret sharing the smoked wings and wish we ordered more! The fried pickles and deviled eggs will most likely always be ordered every time we go. The ran out of ribs so we did not get to try that but the fried chicken and steak were huge winners! The steak was so tender and fried chicken super crispy and flavorful for being boneless. Can't wait to come back and try the ribs. read more

Shhhhh. Don't tell anyone about this place. The food is great. The staff is great. The location is cool. I'm terrible at calling for reservations. So, let's just keep it between us. I've had the chicken, fish and ribs so far. They're all good. Again, just keep it between us. read more

While I understand that restaurants are having their issues during this time due to coronavirus I unfortunately had a bad experience. I made a reservation on Opentable on Monday for friday night at 630pm for 5 people. A group of friends who have been safe together throughout this last 6 months. When we arrived (early for our reservation) they asked if we wanted to sit outside or inside. With the weather being just below 50° we said inside. They then brought us downstairs. Turns out downstairs is nothing like upstairs. It's basically a snack bar for the golfers. With a reservation made 5 days before you seat us in the basement? A basement that has a hotdog roller, a cooler refrigerator, no music from upstairs and a hole in the wall with exposed insulation that we were lucky enough to be seated underneath. Ok fine, we will order drinks as they suggested and wait for an available table upstairs. We all ordered drinks from our exceptional waitress Annie which is the only reason why I gave this place a star in the first place. 45 minutes later when our waitress came back and asked what we wanted and we were considering a 2nd drink we asked how much longer and she said at least 45minutes that's when I said no, we will take the check. This place was no way at the governors requirement of 50% capacity. They were overbooked and inconsiderate on people who try to plan ahead during a pandemic. Enjoy your ambiance if you get a seat upstairs. As for me, I'll bring my business elsewhere. read more

Backwoods Bar and Kitchen - Hole in the wall. LITERALLY. - Barbeque Near Me - Dallas, Pennsylvania

We usually have a good experience but not the last time. In fact, the last few times we went there were not the best. The Fired Chicken was always really good. A leg, breast and thigh deep fried. Not this time Air Fried Breast and very salty. Hope they go back to the way they have done it in the past!!! read more

Where to start. The service was very slow and not attentive. I noticed they were catering to several tables around us. It was very difficult to even get a drink. anytime you asked the waiter for anything he was not very nice. Now for the food, Our appetizer was the fried pickles. They were served ice cold, I have to say if they were hot they would have been out of this world. I ordered the fish-and-chips the crust on the fish was very crispy but had no flavor. the fish was dying for salt. my wife ordered the sausage special, Could not find the sausage on the bun and they said there was supposed to be a cream sauce couldn't find that either. They need to get their act together. The building is remodeled beautifully and they have great potential. If it will be a while till we go back hopefully they fix it. read more

Yelp titles Backwoods as Caribbean. Really?The name itself is un-carribean. What's up with that? Anyhow, we visited again recently and it is still going strong on a friday evening at 6pm. Cocktails are top notch. Our dinners are exactly what we ordered the way we ordered it. Service was great! Chef James is exceptional! Everyone seems to multitask to keep things clean and moving. The deserts seem to be new thing. Shout out to Annie! Obvi has a background in pastries/baking. Keep up the good work Matt,James and all the hard working staff that have endured the past 2 very trying years in the food industry. read more

I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. The food, atmosphere, wait staff, and owner Matt are all incredible. Also the chef is one of a kind at what he does. They have a very original menu but definitely something for everyone. It's a must try!! read more

Delicious! We went there on a prime rib night! We saved the left overs for steak and eggs the next day.

Excellent food and atmosphere. My husband and I had pot roast dinner. The best pot roast we ever had. Very tender and flavorful. We will definitely return. read more

We just discovered this place a few visits ago, the best ribs and pot roast anywhere around, the ownership is present and staff are fantastic. Thank you Matt and Brianna for making a rainy night away from Florida perfect, and to the unknown guitarists at the bar who showed up when the other band canceled, you are awesome. read more

Giving this place 1 star because we were sat, and 35 mins later we had seen the server once, didn't get any water, never got the drinks we ordered and weren't given the chance to even order food. We ended up just leaving. Maybe the food and drinks are good, but I can't rate those since we never had the chance to actually get anything. read more

Great environment! The bad part is I waited 45 min for drinks 30 min for apps and an hour and 10 min for the actual dinner.

The music was way way way too loud! I got an instant headache and we had to eat our meal (which was quite pricey) with the music blasting through our brains! There was no way to have a dinner conversation due to the loud music (and trust me, we are used to loud music - we go out to shows all the time) ! We couldn't wait to get out of there! The girl that served us did a great job and they have fantastic scenery - but, we won't be going back... read more

I've been here before and it was good Food. but the service is extremely slow and if you don't get a good waitress or waiter your experience will be awful. today I saw my waitress 3 times, once for my drinks once for my food order and then the check. I had to flag down anotber waitress just to get another drink. took over 20 minutes for me and 2 other people to get our 2nd round of drinks, honestly there's no other word besides pathetic for the service I got today. if you're working in the food industry and being a server learn how to take better care of your customers don't sit at the bar and talk to the bartender for 15 min before checking on people. horrible experience today and it was just because of the waitress. on a good note other waitress actually care about there job and customers there and helped me and my friends out when our waitress never came around. mid you get the waitress I'm talking about you'll understand but if you don't you'll have a good experience. read more
