★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Travis Rowland · Nov 2025

Food was over cooked and real greasy , left soggy buns. I had low blood sugar so I needed to eat something , if I hadn't needed to eat my meal would have gone back. I over heard another customer raise his concern over the wax paper lining the plate, it's the little things that may keep people from coming back . Friendly staff but our server was not very attentive. She never asked how our meal was and ignored the rest of the table !

★★★★☆ 4.0 John Nichols III · Jul 2024

Been here several times. Seems better in the evening. Burger is okay. The tots appetizer was unique the first time; the second time we ordered it with chorizo, but it was overcooked hamburger meat. Edible but not chorizo. The pizza wasn't bad. Coffee was not refilled without an additional fee. Bathroom was out of tissue. Update: came back again and food was good, but it was in the evening. The potato skins were good. Service was great. Still, I remember they charged for a coffee refill last time, and that's pretty ridiculous. Service would be a five if not for that. The burger alone is not filling, but tastes okay. Feels kind of like getting shorted on steak fries, and becomes necessary to order something else if you want a full meal.

Red Robin corporate feel. Burger was okay. Fries were great. Great tvs for watching sports. Ladies were nice that hosted and served us. For watching games and passing through quick lunch good spot but Buffalo Grill down the street and step up better.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Johnathan Clayborn · Jan 2026

We stopped in here for the first time on Friday night. There was clearly some kind of disconnect between the front of the house and kitchen. It took a while to get our order in and we ordered an appetizer - chips and three sauces. We waited for about 30 minutes and then our dinner showed up - no appetizer (the waitress apologized and removed it from the bill). That said, despite the hiccup in service, the food was amazing. Everything we had was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back to give Backwoods another try.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Samantha Wishner · Sep 2024

Good little sports bar. Their beer line was bad, so no draft. They did not know how to pour a Guinness. Our nachos were bottom of the bag chips. I had to use a fork because they were little shards of chips. They weren't upholding standards the night we went. Rough. Update: Went there for fight night and had a great meal. The server we had was incredible. Patio was great for my dog.
