Uniquely flavored BBQ served with a local vibe by one of the best waitresses I've ever seen work. I've never seen so many customers taken care of by one individual. The favorites here are the Hash Brown Casserole which was absolutely tasty, a great blend of cheesey and crispy and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, with sauces that are flavorful and spicy but not overbearing. Even the coleslaw is an original recipe and a cut above most.

Wow, the best bbq chicken I've ever had. The pulled pork was also moist and delicious. The potato salad was a bit spicy and I wish they had more sides to choose from. The decor was great, a real entertaining theme. The ladies room was clean and modern. Unfortunately, the construction made it very difficult to get to.

We had a good meal at Backwoods. Being on carnivor diet, we ate an amazing brisket and lots of ribs. Server was very friendly.

First time coming in. Been by this place a million times. Met up with some buddies. I dug the atmosphere. It was quiet. Food was delicious, Had nachos & cobbler. I'm sure these guys have been down to BBQ on the river. So, I expected good things. Everything down to service was great. We sat in there for an hr talking & we weren't rushed off. They are open 11 am to 7 pm Monday - Saterday. If you like BBQ & cobbler. I would suggest stopping in.

I was in the area for business and stopped in for dinner. I ordered the ribs and oh my word they are amazing! Great flavor and fall off the bone!! The dinner came with two sides and bread. I chose hash brown casserole and baked beans. Both were really good. Highly recommend stopping by this restaurant if you're in the area.

Tea, sandwich and 2 sides was around $17. Best smoked turkey we ever had. Was flavorful and juicy. Excellent. Bbq chicken is also always tasty here. The baked beans and potatoe salad and deserts really good.. The bbq sandwich is good. All of it is good.
