Definitely the nicest atmosphere of the restaurants in Hay River. Service was good, and fairly efficient. The food was decent, the fish tacos were pretty good and my friends burger was too. Prices were high but I think that's to be expected given the area.

Went for wings night, and they changed the wings. I had the scorching hot, and they were really good. Our table shared appetizers, so we had a little of a lot, and it was all good. If you are visiting Hay River, stop in and check out the Back Eddy.

Had a spicy burger which was typical pub food, but the stand out was the real hamburger patty, not food service food which was nice. Had onion rings which were just barely cooked which was too bad because there had that really good breading, just needed another two minutes in the deep fryerConsidering we walked in with 8 people in our party at lunch, I was impressed how quickly things came out. The bathrooms have been recently renovated are palatial, unlike the bar proper which has a 1980's nautical theme.Overall good food, great service.

Use to be 4 star but since the new owners it’s a 3 star, last I was there the ribeye was like leather but they do have lots of classics from the previous owner.

We ordered baby back ribs, fish and chips, the 8 oz steak, and a wasabi salmon. There were mozza sticks too except it ended up going to the WRONG table somehow that we cancelled. The price is about 30 dollar range for each dish minus the entree that we had to remove after waiting an actual HOUR for everything. Came to NT to sightsee from Edmonton but this restaurant has been the MOST disappointing experience dining-wise this whole trip so far. Asked multiple times on the status of the food and finally got a time around 50 minutes after we sat in and ordered, when other patrons that came in around the same time (5:22 pm) have already finished eating and left. When the food came the steak that we ordered medium well was well done to the point of dry. Salmon was drier than the sahara desert and I could do it better with store bought fish and a microwave. Only normal items were the ribs and fried fish, but the fries portion that came with the fish and chips were 1/2 the size of the other fries. The fried fish was also small, smaller than the size of 2 filet o fish patties. If I wasn't starving like a stranded refugee on a deserted island I would've walked out before the food arrived but my family members convinced me not to. Not coming back and I feel like the 3.9 stars are fake. Food bad or terribly mediocre and overpriced for the quality and quantity, and service was just as lacklustre. Big guy in the plaid shirt did well for his customers, but the waitresses seem like new hires with no prior experience.

Definitely out of my price range for a restaurant. $37 for 2 desserts and a drink. Definitely not going back. Added photos of the menu and then was told the price increase was because of inflation. Very sad

Crab cakes extremely soggy ,fish taco still frozen inside, I gave this place 3 chances so far ,they failed all 3 times,as a person who travels alot for work a decent meal would be nice

My friend and I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was old, there was no batter on the fish, only a coat of flour and it was deep fried to dryness. When the plate arrived all you could smell was oil. Sadly I will miss going out to eat here, it used to be good.

Waited for our drinks for 20 minutes and our order for an hour. Ended up getting our order to go since we waited so long. Get to our room only to see the ribs that we waited an hour for are coated in a cheap ketchup bbq sauce. What a waste of time and money. Never again ?‍♀️If I could I would rate this 0 stars. Lol.
