For food, I ordered the fried pork chops with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes (gravy on the side). While fried pork chops were tasty and well seasoned, the mashed potatoes had the perfect texture but lack any seasoning. Very very plain. Mac n cheese was a hard pass. I ate one noodle and quickly pushed the whole bowl to the side. I also had a margarita, usually a pretty easy drink to make. This one had a bit too much sour mix. My husband had the ribs with mashed sweet potatoes and parmesan French fries. The sweet potatoes and ribs were tasty but fries were a pass. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Some parts were really good, others not so much. But don't let this review deter you from trying Backstreets as we love the Columbia location.

Food was disgusting had no taste no seasoning ordered the boneless wings parmesan garlic, and the magic meatballs were just as bad no taste looked like they were frozen from Walmart. Drinks tasted like there was soap in the glass and the waitress just put the next one in a to go cup. Never really acted surprised or even offered to take some money to out bill. I also noticed the couple behind us in the booth complaining about the boneless wings. I could not find out what they were made off certainly not chicken at all looked likes pieces of some kind of meat all squashed together. My friend had the same thing, and she could not eat it all, I took them home to my dogs who will eat anything, and they would not touch it either. So disappointed and will just go next door to Kick Back Jacks and spent my money there. I also talked with the manager who said we are a testing restaurant and she was no help in the matter. I asked what she could do with the bill. No response. Horrible will never go back. Came home was sick and threw up what was in that fake food. Very unhappy customer!!!
