First time to Backstreets. Great way to spend part of a rainy afternoon. Ate at the bar and it wasn't crowded, nice group of people. I her dinner draws quite a crowd. Best we go early.

My family member invited me to join them for lunch at Backstreets. Despite growing up here, I never knew this restaurant existed until now! I was hesitant at first to try it out because they didn’t have many vegan options. Actually, the only Vegan item I really found was the Asian Kale Salad. Needless to say, I’m happy I did decide to go because that salad was fabulous! It was very large and the flavors in the salad played a tune on my taste buds! Bouncing back and forth between sweet, savory, crunchy, and a hint of spice from the sriracha on the sides… It was the perfect balance for a perfect salad! My husband got the chicken fajita wrap, and he really really enjoyed it. He said it was one of the best wraps he’s had in a long time. My son who is a picky eater REALLY liked his burger, but wasn’t a big fan of the Macaroni and cheese. My husband was though, so take his word for it tasting fresh and made from scratch! My family chimed in and said the grilled chicken is perfection, that’s why they enjoy it as the protein on their salads. We came around lunch time on a week day, and there WAS a wait, but we waited around 10 minutes before we were seated, so that’s not too bad. Once seated and we placed our orders, our food didn’t take very long at all to arrive at the table. The waitresses were very accommodating! If it came to a chain restaurant or Backstreets, I’d definitely choose this place any time. I hope to see that they add more vegetarian and vegan options to their menu soon! If so, I’d become a regular myself! Dishes are around $10-$15 per person depending on what you order. It isn’t exactly a one cash sign establishment, but in this case, it’s a good price to pay if you’re looking for a flavorful dish. On top of that, you’re supporting a small business with a ton of culinary talent! I’d hate for anyone to miss out on that!

They have the BEST wings in town! Service was a tad lacking the last time my girlfriend and I went, but overall, it's always a great place to eat!

Just happened to come up on this place as I was searching for a good place to eat before going to the movies. So glad I stopped by. Everything was great from the moment we stepped in. For this place to be as busy as it was there was no wait time and we were seated immediately upon entering. The atmosphere was great, music good, good vibes everywhere. Our waitress was great and very friendly. And the best part was the food. I had the blackened chicken sandwich and a piece of salmon a la carte. There are no words to express how good the food was and the prices are not unreasonably high. I will definitely be going back to this place again and again and again. I'd like to try everything on the menu lol. Friends, Family, Folks go give this place a try! I promise you will not be disappointed! Five stars all the way around

Meatloaf was yummy. It's not easy to find meatloaf with no green peppers in it. There mashed potatoes are excellent too!

Great food and environment. We prefer to ask for a specific server (Dave). He's phenomenal. We typically go for lunch and service is prompt allowing us to get back to work in time. If you're on a time crunch, go close to 11. Love their wraps!

First off the food here is absolutely amazing. The mussels in white wine sauce are to die for we get them everytime we come. The wraps are amazing too you can’t go wrong with them. My girlfriend always gets the tuna or the cauliflower pizza is great. overall the food is unbeatable for the area. TJ IS THE BEST DANG SERVER HERE IF YOU COME ASK FOR TJ (you rock tj if you’re reading this). we’ve been coming here for over 6 years now and it’s an awesome place!!
