First and last time sadly at this place. We went with family to this location and placed a simple…read moreorder. Ours was a salad and a burger. The salad was very sad. No big orders but food took awhile. The bucket had no paper towels, no salt or ketchup. They brought a new one with an empty ketchup bottle. Our waitress was asked for silverware and never brought any even though she came to table next to us for orders. We Just got the silverware and a new ketchup bottle ourselves. We stopped asking for anything so we were not disappointed. The ambiance was ok but menu is very small. Once we were near done our waitress did return but it felt like she wanted us to hurry up. We still tipped but she did not earn it. Not worth it!!! Very disappointed!!! If you do go don't expect much and you won't be disappointed.

Ok- this bar is NOT for everyone. It is a very very old timey type bar. It is smoking (and they…read moreallow cigars too). Everyone knows one another. They are very welcoming to new faces. Nothing is on tap- even the soda comes out of a two liter and beers come from cans and bottles. There is no signature cocktail list. Thai is the place for a shot and a beer- or like me- Bacardi and coke. There is a REAL jukebox- not one of those virtual boxes. Good old school rock and roll. Now some of you will not like this place- but I enjoyed it completely - service was fast and efficient. Folks were friendly and the drinks were reasonably priced. So if you are looking for a bar- with an old school vibe- good drinks where you can enjoy a cigarette or cigar without someone judging you, and friendly employees and customers- that's what you'll find here.

Actually, it's the other bar rescue asshole that I don't like but you know what I mean . i've never seen a menu where everything is crossed off as far as the prices. Yep, there is more. A dirty looking dilapidated kitchen with food being pulled out of a refrigerator that is lower grade than mine. Looks like a good place to get food poisoning and you can tell they don't care. Looking at reviews on Google maps, seems there is a reason the prices are crossed out on the menu. Embarrassingly high priced for low quality crap. Playing bingo for "appetizers" that no way in hell are any kind of a prize. But wait, there's more. Incredibly understaffed and you can tell everybody that works.there is stressed out. No way to run a business.

A reminder, this is a review on the business, not the beer alone…read more I was anxious to try Back Road as I have heard a lot of great things about their product. I ordered my beer and was surprised to be handed a good beer in a plastic cup. I was actually a little upset to have paid $5 for it as well. I should note that you can pay a couple extra bucks and purchase a pint glass to drink from Anyway, truth be told if I brewed one beer a year that was a Bud Light clone, I would never put my product in plastic. I do think it changes the taste and really gives an image that you could care less about what you're serving. Lastly, I was really put off by the staff as well. The large walk-in cooler door was opened directly into my wife by a staff member coming out. He looked at my wife with an expression of "you shouldn't have been standing in front of the door" on his face. Ordinarily, I would have agreed with him. However, the cooler is directly in front of the bar where you order your beer. I watched two other people get hit with no apology. It may have been a fluke and just this one day so I do plan on giving it a second chance but there will need to be a lot of ground made up. Everyone in my group had a feeling as though we should be grateful to have been there to have a beer. Other than that, the building is awesome.

Its a hole in the wall- right on the tracks on the edge of town. This place often doesn't have things in stock on the menu- but they get away with it here. This is more of a bar than a restaurant. The food is alright. Not stellar- but the burgers are good, salads are WAY over sauced and most everything else is deep fried. Service is alright- but they get an A+ for the homey feel as they remember everyone there. Its a bar people come back to because they make it feel like home. Try the frozen patio punch! Sure its sweet- but shouldn't life be sweet?
