Burgers and fish and chips were fantastic. Great atmosphere with friendly service. We enjoyed their patio and overall vibe was good.
I finally checked out Backroads Burger & Bar on Route 30 and I’m so glad I did. Everything was 5 stars—the burgers were juicy and flavorful, the food quality was excellent, and the atmosphere is perfect for a night out. A huge thank you to our waitress, Laurie P., who was absolutely amazing! She was so nice and attentive, making our visit even better. Definitely my new go-to spot!
Had to come back, try different items on the menu and bring my daughter. I had the sliders, my daughter had the chicken wrap, and my fiancé had the bourbon burger. All great choices. Food comes out fast and our server was spot on. They have consistently delivered and again our favorite place to get a burger! I opted for green beans vs fries and they were amazing.
Absolutely amazing food and service. The Yosemite burger (with extra patty) was absolutely amazing. Service was exceptional and A+ for presentation, taste, and overall cleanliness.
Our first time here. The Cobb Salad was great and fresh. The Philly was also delicious. I’m excited to have found this place and look forward to trying all of the awesome items on the menu! It’s a good menu. The signs are fun. It’s a good blend of family dinner place, but seems like a fun bar vibe later. Looks like they have good drink specials. All good things. Managers seem attentive and everyone is on top of it here. Places like this are hard to find.
Absolutely love the bourbon Burger! The Crazy Crurds were absolutely delicious too!! We both had their sweet tea and it was fresh and delicious. They have more than just burgers as well! Even have kid friendly options! We had Shannon as our server and she was amazing!
Great service from Viv today! Very sweet and attentive! Thanks for another great dining experience! Previous: Kaylee was an amazing server today! Thanks so much! We also played singo, tons of fun!!! Older: Fabulous service today from Taylor. Super nice and attentive. My sis is scared to try all the amazing burgers (every one is amazing, my fav is Me So Corny) but has decided if they ever bring the 3 AM burger back, that will be the first one she tries. 🤣🤣 Old review: We always have a great experience. We love taking out of towners here. Everyone is always very impressed! They always want to come back to visit again...so I don't recommend bringing out of towners you prefer out of town. BOTM was AMAZING!!! This Ain't Your Mama's Cookie Bake is a burger I have wanted to try FOREVER and my life is now complete (if you read the old review you will see whyl). It was WORTH THE WAIT! AMAZINGGGG Old reviews: We just went back and the menu has changed. I was a littke bummed when I realized they no longer had the cookie dough burger, as that was what I was planning on getting. The burger of the month was Me So Corny and I went with that. Omg YUMMMMMMM!!! GREAT service once again! So glad we found this place! Previous review: Stellar service, amazing food and a fun atmosphere. DUDE. I GOT TO USE A FANCY BINGO DABBER!! I have always envied the old people on tv that play serious bingo with those marker things. BUCKET LIST ITEM COMPLETE! Singo (bingo but with songs) was SO much fun! Fries are amazing and I had the 3 AM burger-delish, and the butter my peanut cake was HEAVEN!
Thanks you for every thing the food is very good and the servers good they are helpful and the place is very nice and comfortable .
We absolutely love this spot! It has a fun, laid‑back atmosphere, and both the restaurant and bar are always well staffed. The team here is incredibly welcoming and friendly — special shout‑out to Sharon, who has taken care of us several times and is always such a joy. The food is excellent, especially if you’re a burger fan. We had a fantastic time watching the Bears game here; the crowd was lively, and the raffles plus free buffet made the afternoon even better.
This was a great place. We came here for a friend's reunion for Mo. It was perfect as we didn't have an idea as to how many would show. When more showed than expected they were great to accommodate us moving tables together. The burgers and fries were delicious. And the drinks mixed perfectly. And a little piece of home in the corner with the TN vols flag. We will go back here.
