    First time to Backwoods and we were on our way to an event, so timing was a concern. I appreciated the ability to make reservations, even though we really didn't need one for a rainy Sunday evening. The service was so quick and the food was delicious. No stress about making it to the event. We want to come back.

    Great service! Food is really good overall. I do wish there were a couple more plant based entres on the menu: I can only order a portobello burger (not my fav), or a veggie wrap which was good but doesn’t really feel like dinner. Ketchup with no high fructose corn syrup should be standard, but they haven’t made the swap which seems strange for a local establishment (HFCS has been linked to liver disease).

    Had reservation and seated almost immediately, crappy table in center of room. Appeared to be maybe one server for entire restaurant. After sitting with no acknowledgement for awhile, and talking to nearby table who were there before us with no service as well, we left.

    Held my boyfriends surprise birthday party here, and because I do not like beer I wasn’t expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised by the menu (tachos were the bomb!) and by the craft cocktail drinks (try the flaming old fashioned). Our server was also the bar tender and he was phenomenal. They were so nice about letting us bring in a cake and set up a ton of decorations, and didn’t flinch when everyone wanted to split the bill. The ambiance is nice and they were very lenient on the ever changing number of people in our group. We will be back!
