    Big Mac & Cheese. Hubby gave it 9/10!

    Our first visit here and we had a great dining experience. The seating atmosphere had many options. Super cute and modern with country vibe. The staff were all so nice and helpful! The food was AMAZING!! I actually avoid Oakdale like the plague but this restaurant may get me to become more of a regular! Some may find it pricey (everything is separate), but overall the food was worth it IMO.

    This was a very yummy burger joint. We really enjoyed the Smash burger, the sandwich and the fries. The Tumbleweed burger was a bit dry, otherwise everything was great. They even have marshmallow fluff that comes with the sweet potato fries (which I am a sucker for). This is an order at the counter type of place, but they do come by and pick up trays. The staff were super nice and the ambiance was open and inviting. Definitely a good place to check out if you're in Oakdale!

    They were so kind they split the burger for us!

    We stopped here on a Sunday on the way home from Sonora for an early dinner. It did not disappoint! Service was great, and the food was really good! We split a burger and a salad! There was plenty for both of us! We will be back!

    Typical weekday dinner at Backwoods, we arrive early to beat the crowd. Casual dining, large portions and super friendly service. Did I forget to mention the delicious food? Ordered the big kahuna with pulled pork, pineapple and all the fixings. Gotta go eat now

    The perfect cheeseburger! Aka the Smash Burger. Yum!!

    I always drive by here and was curious to go! They have little lights outside of their building which you can't miss going down Oakdale street! I had always wanted to try it because it looked so inviting and I loved a good cheeseburger. We came with a party of 8 for my twin cousins birthdays and they were EXTREMELY nice and accommodating even though they do not take reservations they really helped us out to big tables together to include everyone and one of the servers with the long braid, forgot her name but gosh she was the SWEETEST and I love chatting with her! 10/10 service!! The food was absolutely delicious I noticed on the menu they sure has some GOOD lookin sandwiches but since it was my first time dining there, an their known for their burgers, I got the smashed cheeseburger which was SO good the cheese was delicately melted to perfection, I couldn't notice my cousin got the "mac and cheese burger" interesting choice but she had been there many times and swore on oh! Now the garlic fries and ranch? Those were spectacular! They even come out and sing happy birthday with banana pudding but we brought our own cake beverage it was such a big party. All and all it was DEElicious and I'd love to return to try their pesto chicken sandwich this place was perfection and made my cousins birthday dinner totally perfect!!!

    Big Kahuna burger
    Lola H.

    Beyond impressed. I was craving burgers on my long drive and this place popped up and look good. As soon as I walked in, the decorations and music already set the mood. The lady at the counter was friendly and accommodating and took my order with a smile. When another lady brought out my food, she asked if I needed anything else which I appreciated. I ordered The Big Kahuna burger and a drink. That burger was SO GOOD!!! It had pulled pork, pineapple, a juicy patty, Swiss cheese, tomato, red onions, lettuce, and a pickle. All this with a yummy teriyaki sauce in it. I was also surprised by the little ball of dough pinned on top. I couldn't tell what it was, but it tasted like a hush puppy perhaps? It was delicious. This burger was truly exceptional. The lady who brought out my burger even returned twice to check how everything was and if I needed anything. Not only did I have an excellent experience, but I also felt taken care of. I imagine this is what southern hospitality feels like even if this place is located in Northern California. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend!

    Tumbleweed burger
    Daisy S.

    We stopped at this burger place for lunch while visiting the area because they have good reviews on yelp. They have craft burgers with lots of flavors and options at a really good price. We also loved that they offer a variety of sides -- not just regular fries, but different kinds of fries and hush puppies. We really loved the hush puppies -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and so tasty! I ordered the Tumbleweed Burger, which had good flavor overall, but it only had a very small dollop of barbecue sauce. I ended up asking for extra on the side, which made it much better. The onion rings were not your typical salty, crispy fried kind; instead, they had an interesting, different breaded coating. While they weren't what I expected, they were actually pretty good for what they were -- just lacking in seasoning. The dining environment is casual and welcoming, and I like that you order at the register -- it keeps things simple and quick. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Plus, they have a beer with great beers on tap. Overall, this place is worth checking out for a solid burger at a great price.

    1st time here with my mom. The service and food was excellent. I definitely will be coming back to try their salads.

    Steak Sandwich and garlic fries
    Stan M.

    Been here a few times and usually really enjoy the food. The burgers are excellent -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Today, I decided to switch it up and try the steak sandwich. It came as a square steak on a round roll with all the fixings. Unfortunately, the steak was on the thin side, so most of what I tasted was the bun and toppings rather than the meat itself. I also ordered the large garlic fries -- tasty, but they could have used a little more garlic punch. My 805 beer, however, was ice cold and refreshing, which definitely hit the spot. Plenty of seating at 12:30pm and the service is always top notch. This is the first time the food has felt a bit underwhelming here, but I'll absolutely be back -- next time for one of those great burgers.

    Another great meal for a great value. Definitely recommend. My son had the tumble weed and I had the blue collar. Both tasty and hot. Fries needed to be sent back as they were cold. Beer was good. Therapist was spot on but would appreciate more variety with better local hazy IPA options. All in all a good meal.

    Oh my goodness everything on the menu looked amazing. It's always great to go out to eat with a friend because you get to try multiple things a split them! We went with the mac and cheese burger, the mango habanero salad, side of linguica baked beans and side of mac n cheese. Not 1 complaint out of me at all. The burger was perfectly cooked, the salad man, that was my favorite part of the meal, I think however, a scoop of beans and a scoop of mac n cheese was making my mouth very happy. Pepsi products, brewed tea but not sweet, just the pink packets and regular sugar. Would have taken it up a notch if they had sweet tea but definitely a place to come to.

    Super clean. Brand new spot in Oakdale. It's Not just Wings…read more- They are so sneaky! They have burgers, pulled pork, and chicken sandwiches. They have mac n cheese and multiple flavors of awesome fries. There's a bar with various things on tap (I honestly didn't pay much attention) The TVs were playing all my hubby's favorite shows - the car auctions, American Ninja Warrior, and other sports/man shows. The bathroom was clean. The service was quick. The man working (sorry I didn't get the name) was pleasant and helpful with asking all my questions. The food was NOT salty - my opinion - as others mentioned previously. Subtract half a point because they have Coca-Cola products & I'm a Pepsi gal. I will give 1/4 of that same point back because they had Pibb as an option. The meat for the burger ....was so good We will definitely be back....this time to try the wings.

    5-Star Review - Wing It, Oakdale, CA…read more It's always bittersweet when a great local spot makes a big change, and that's exactly how I feel about Wing It moving back to a food truck. On one hand, I'm definitely going to miss the convenience and comfort of their brick-and-mortar location -- but on the other hand, I'm genuinely happy and relieved that they're not going out of business. The wings are just too good to lose! Their flavors are bold, creative, and always cooked to perfection. Whether you like them spicy, sweet, or somewhere in between, Wing It always delivers. You can tell they care about quality and consistency, and it shows in every bite. What really makes this place special, though, is the team. The staff has always been friendly, fast, and down-to-earth -- just good people putting love into what they do. So while it's a little sad to see the restaurant close its doors, I'm excited to see them keep pushing forward with the truck. I'll definitely be following wherever they roll to next, because Wing It is still one of the best spots in Oakdale for wings and good vibes.

If you like clam chowder come check this place it has right amount of everything you can actually taste clams and potato pieces. I am looking forward trying dinner menu soon Price on sandwich & fries $23 it was not that bad when especially when it has a big piece of chicken and lots of bacon Parking have in front the place and street parking as well

We came at 7pm and there was 8pm closing time so we were conscientious and had our order ready immediately. ALL the waitstaff and manager (I think- blue floral polo) were very focused on closure for the full hour. Unloading clean dishes, stocking the bar, a lot of watch checking. This is pretty off-putting when trying to enjoy food and feeling the pressure of closing time. No ongoing smiles or eye contact. Ambience: very cute, modern vibe. May need to look into some sound absorption material as there is quite loud reverberations from lively parties nearby. I also felt the employees were not very happy and I felt it was due to them being under extreme scrutiny of above-mentioned manager. Nobody smiled.

    Impression: First time visiting this place. I have always…read moreheard great things about it. I have been to quite a few places in Oakdale but always just rolled by this spot. The inside is old school food place with photos of nostalgia of the country. Flow: You can call in and pick up for fast service or drop in and wait to be seated. It could be a long wait or it could be fast depending on the line. The service is fast though. They don't dilly dally and waste your time. If you are going to dine in you need to go to the counter and put your name in. Food: Leo Camarillo- You can order with pastrami, roast beef or both. (Not half and half) Lots of cheese and sautéed mushrooms. If you're not a mushroom fan just skip. This is so delicious I have been thinking about it ever since we got it. My wife doesn't like mushrooms and she still ate with the shrooms on. We ordered pastrami only. No ragrats! French Dip- My kids ate both halves and didn't even hook it up with a bite! It was juicy and the dip was perfect. Always add the cheese. The Italian- Loved the Italian. It had a lot of meats on it and the veggies were fresh. Topped with an Italian dressing. Salads- Pesto salad was my favorite. Excellent flavor. No heartburn. Spaghetti salad was the sleeper. Very unsuspecting. I thought it was going to be cold spaghetti sauce but it was tomato's and Italian dressing/seasoning. Potato salad was ok. We added pepper and salt. We ordered 3 sandwiches for 4 people and came home with an untouched half because there was so much food. Bill was less than $60 for all the food and the soft drinks. Will definitely be a frequent haunt now.
