Our waiter was great fast,polite. The food was OK, two of us had the chicken Caesar salad wrap one of us liked it a lot, but wish there was more dressing on it and one of us thought it was OK and wish there was more dressing on it. One of us got the nacho tots they were pretty good, but the amount was really big definitely assuring item. We all got Cajun tots, which were pretty good. Some of them had an excess amount of seasoning, but no big deal. Seems like a good enough place to stop in and grab a bite.
We have been to Backwoods several times. The food, beer, and service are consistently fantastic.
Who knew nachos were sweet? Service here was excellent. The beer very good. But we ordered the BBQ pork nachos and the pork was drenched in overly sweet barbecue sauce. Very off putting. In my experience nachos are a savory and spicy dish. I never even thought that they could be ruined like this. Really just one of the worst things I've ever had. We tried to work around the pork but it had imbued the sweetness throughout.
A wrap with a side of soup for nearly $22 is bat shit crazy. Nowhere on the menu was listed what the up charge would be for Soup. If I had known it would be a nearly 5 dollar up charge, I would've just gotten the chips and salsa. As much as I love this wrap, it's gonna have to be a no for me from now on. The prices are getting out of control

Always exceptionally friendly and attentive service, delicious food and beverages. Excellent place to watch sports events with seating options ranging from large groups to bar seating. We especially love the locally sourced ingredients and great vibes

I had some time to kill waiting on some friends to get into town, so I camped out here for a couple hours and it was a great spot! Quiet on a Friday afternoon, and I had a nice booth seat by the window, which was nice for reading. Staff was chill and friendly. The beer selection was not great for someone who usually likes fruit beers and sours, but the dreamsicle one was pretty solid! The cajun tots were also fantastic.

Went to a neighbouring restaurant that wasn’t able to seat us quickly because they were understaffed, so pivoted and went to Backwoods instead. The menu is simple and lots of fried foods. The spicy mango daiquiri was very good! Had the Twisted Caesar salad and it was tasty. The walnuts and cranberries were a nice addition but not as twisted as I expected. The others with me had a burger and the pretzel and chicken tenders. All tasty. The chicken tenders tasted like fried chicken rather than a typical chicken tender from most restaurants. My only complaint is that tater tots feel very processed rather than classic French fries. I realize they’re both fried potatoes but fries just feel more elevated.

The beer and food were awesome! The mushroom stew was delicious. Sadly I didn't get a pic of a stablemates three cheese mac-n-cheese. It was AMAZING.
Try the S'mores stout. It tastes just like a s'more.

Food, service, and beer were all great. It was pretty busy, but I got a chair at the bar. Good place to have a brew and watch a game.

Best Cuban sandwich EVER! Portions are large and the service was exceptional the evening I was there. There is outdoor seating along the Max line, which isn’t too bad at all.
