“I am so happy that my indecisive self decided to give this place a try. I have not been impressed with most of the establishments in the area. My wife and I usually travel to Asheville for good food. On a Sunday there weren’t a lot of options. We decided to give backstreets a try. It’s been years since I ate here and didn’t remember. She got Cajun chicken pasta and I got possibly the best Rueben I’ve had in years. I’d say the pasta is better than Cheesecake Factory. The only negative thing was the judgy couple sitting beside us. However, they cannot control who comes through their doors. The service was excellent and I’m so happy I found a place I am happy with locally.“

From the moment you walk in you know it's gonna be a great night. The food was great, although we did make some tips about making it even better. For one then brussels sprouts needed a little bit more garlic sauce. The original paella needed to be a little bit more moist. It was great tasting, but it was a little bit dry.“
