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.

Well, let me let you in on what we ordered tonight. Now I understand it's a holiday but if you don't have the right supplies, don't sell the food! My granddaughter had the butterfly shrimp. It was so dark brown and taste it so bad like old oil my grandson had some steak wrap that he couldn't even eat it because it tasted old and then me I wanted to try that best burger in town. It came with no condiments like they advertise. I told him I wanted the burger, medium rare and it was well done the fries were uneditable so dark and greasy. Know what I did taste of the burger. It did have some flavor, but it was so dry and so hard that it's just you know $40 worth of food was a waste but like I said you have to try it now if I decide to try this again and give them the benefit of a doubt it will not be around a holiday and I will take the family and we will eat there. And this way I can tell if this was just you know a bad day or whatever but as of right now that has to be the worst food I have ever eaten in this town.

Inventive cocktails that weren't overpriced? Check. I had a burger and it ranked close to being one of my favs ever. Fries were crispy. My friend got the sushi and said it was good. Others split the Steak Rigatoni and while they liked the flavor and overall thought the portion size was good, it could have had more steak esp since the entree was priced higher. Overall experience was really good and we would go back.

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!
