Brisket was great. Husband enjoyed is ribs. Stew is a southern delicacy and they do it just right.

If you’re looking for edible BBQ, do not go here… I ordered their chicken plate and my god the chicken looked raw and overcooked at the same time. No seasoning. Just bland. These beans were thicker than gravy.

We love Backstreet! Not only do they have great bbq but they are also kind and generous enough to help their community. They graciously donated to the Royston Fire Dept and that is very much appreciated!

I really don’t understand all the hate this place has been getting. My husband and I went to Backstreet BBQ and ordered a brisket plate, and it was absolutely fabulous. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and clearly fresh. The staff was just as great—super friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The restaurant itself was very clean and had such a nice, cozy environment. They even had a Christmas tree up with Christmas music playing, which made the atmosphere even better. We had a great experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend giving this place a fair chance!

Good food. Good service. Consistently good place to eat in Hartwell.
Ordered brisket plate with beans and slaw to go ($17). Repeated the sides a second time. Got home and guess what I was given? Stew and slaw. No thanks. Brisket was well below average. Tasted like someone poured a bottle of liquid smoke over the meat. The meat tended towards the dry side. Much prefer Bar-H brisket. Can’t see myself returning.

Love Backstreet BBQ! Awesome, Friendly Staff! Serving Sizes/Portions are Excellent (Meat, Sides are All the Best)! Always a Great Meal! Good People!
Stopped in here while passing through town. Bbq was good, simple menu and food. Sauces were great, especially the mustard based! The Brunswick stew needs some help though… I’ve never had thin soupy textureless “stew” such as that… otherwise, staff was super friendly, prices were reasonable, overall a decent experience!

What a treasure in Hartwell! Top tier service & food can't be beat. Please keep making that delicious brisket sandwich & the sauce with the yellowish specks! So good! Sweet tea on point too. 💯♥️

Food is not hot, the sides are skimpy, ribs were average, pulled pork, and chicken were below average. Service was friendly, and the patrons seemed to enjoy visiting, but food was ? disappointing.
