Ian and E. on 6/7/25, were fantastic and so welcoming today. We are visiting from DC and they had the best hospitality and conversation. We are absolutely coming back, in hopes to see them and enjoy the amazing atmosphere again!

Love the Vienna Lager but when I went to this location the guy at the taps told me in so many words that I shouldn’t and proceeded to tell me he would rather sell what he brews and started talking up IPA’s. I don’t like IPA’s and told him so to which I got well you haven’t tried mine.
All this in front of other customers in line. Needless to say we left without purchasing anything. If you really want to sell your other beer maybe don’t tell me I’m an idiot for liking what I like. Maybe suggest a taste of something else.
I believe I will stick to the base camp location.

This is a great local spot to drink a beer after work. The bartender, Eric, makes the place. He chats with everyone and learns their names if they've been in a few times.

Thanks so much to Erick, Strickler and Logan for taking care of our guests at a rehearsal dinner we hosted. The beers were great, and the service was outstanding!
Carolyn Collins
Spent a great afternoon here! Bartenders Eric and Charles were so friendly and we enjoyed talking with them.

Friendly staff but the food is strictly microwaved. Dead as a stone on a Sunday afternoon, I was the only customer.
Katie Smith
The person behind the bar named Erick was great!He was really nice and always checked to see if I needed another drink.Will be coming here again!
Mark Kreutzberger
Super friendly place. Staff was amazing and very helpful when choosing a beer. Eric’s recommendation of the ChillyNelson was delicious.

I love this place! Eric the manager here made my experience wonderful! Thank you!
The bartender Erick and cook Nick are awesome people. Very friendly and personal, they both recognized us as soon as we walked in. We brought the motorcycle from Fredericksburg to see them and have amazing food and drinks. I had the BD Cuban Sammie with the German potato salad, and the wife had the Garlicky Caesar Salad.

We walked in to grab a drink on a Saturday at 8:15. There were a few patrons outside but inside the bartender told us he had already called last call and that we could watch the game on the TVs but could not order anything. Calling last call over 45 mins before closing time is a bit extreme and definitely missed out on some sales.

Absolutely fantastic spot for after work drinks, meeting up with friends, or just enjoying some solo time. Erick, Nick, Taylor, Michael, and Charles are top-notch and very attentive to customers' individual needs. Best thing they've introduced recently is their Smash Burger menu; the Bourbon Orange Smash sauce is out of this world good. From the atmosphere to the staff, it's always a good time at Devil's Backbone Backyard.

My god has this place turned around from when it was skipping rock. This place is a marked improvement from the previous management. The new manager Eric is a man of the people. The smash burgers are to die for. The bourbon orange smash sauce is PHENOMENAL. I cannot recommend this establishment more.

Devils Backyard is great. Way more consistent with open hours now. The new manager Eric is amazing. Love the sauce on the smash burgers!
