   A rustic but modern mix restaurant with a bar, booths, high tops, and outdoor picnic table dining on the deck. Great view of the golf course. Our meals were promptly served and our server took great care of us. She was fantastic-friendly, checked in with us just the right amount of times, and took time to make conversation with us. My son loved her! He even signed his placemat coloring sheet and gave it to her. Lol. He also said the fries were his favorite ever and this child has had a lot of fries! The kids menu was a definite plus. Very down to earth atmosphere with nicely presented and prepared apps and meals. Very nice staff. We had an enjoyable time and will be back. Just a heads up-the kitchen closes from 3:30 to 4 to switch over from brunch to dinner but you can still enjoy a drink and look over the menu. Enjoy!

   I had a ahi tuna stir fry which was very good. The menu is limited and not much healthy food items. Food items were pricey for a casual bar atmosphere.

   I can’t say enough about Backwoods. It is our favorite place, by far. Love the drink specials and the knowledge of the servers. Always a great experience.

   We always enjoy Backwoods. Our server was fantastic, somehow the food order was presented wrong (not what I ordered) however she and the kitchen made it right and all was well. Delicious and the cocktails were out of this World!

    My mom had asked to go for a special mother’s day brunch, so I thought this would be a lovely place to eat at. Everything about this experience was horrific. The host was clueless. He forgot to seat us, then seated people who came in 10 minutes after us. When asked about that, he was very rude and snarky. While I do understand it was busy and hectic, he was very rude. He then proceeded to seat other people at OUR table when we went to get our food. It also took 15 minutes for a waitress to come over just to get us silverware since we already had our food and could bot eat it without it. The food was just as bad. Everything was cold, and nothing seemed fresh. My prime rib was red and raw. It was bleeding everywhere. A cow in the fields was more dead than that cut of meat. My mom’s bled all over her pancakes that were also ice cold. The consistency of the food was pathetic for a place that claims to serve “above average” cuisine. We did not know where to find the water, and when we asked the host pointed out in a rude manner that the water was located in vodka bottles. How were we supposed to know that ? The coffee was cold, and at points there were not even any cups at the bar area. The people who organized the buffet should be ashamed of themselves. Please get your act together.

    We love Backwoods but were disappointed with the Mothers Day Bruch. From being Seated downstairs without notice to having to carry our own coffee water and plates up and down the steps as well as the ice cold pasta. The prime rib however was perfect! No deserts were available-on mothers day of all days!

    My husband and I ordered $34 filet mignon and it was horrible. I ordered medium and it was cooked well done. It had no seasoning and it was very, very bland. The green beans were soo overcooked they were shriveled. The cauliflower was burnt on the outside but very hard. The mashed potatoes were good and the only tasty part of our meal. Also, they put the silverware at the table in dirty bins for you to take for yourself. They were dirty. That’s not sanitary; especially with COVID going around. Lastly, I ordered a dirty martini and not only was the martini dirty, but so was the glass. It was also the smallest martini I’ve ever seen. We will not return.

    It was obvious that they were under staffed which is understandable but the server was exceptionally rude…she went out of her way to avoid anyone who would actually need anything like drink refills, checking in on our meals or asking if we wanted dessert and then we sat waiting 35 minutes for our check…then she “misplaced “ our credit card and blamed us for it!!! Meal: wings bites and ribs were great but fried chicken was overdone…which may have just been an off night since we’ve heard so much about them being great!

    Food was delicious and different. Not your same old bar & grill menu. Refreshing change. Wait staff was a little hurried. I believe that they were short staffed. Will go back. Enjoyed the evening.

    The food was great! It was flavorful and well worth the cost. The service was very good, our waitress stopped many times to check on us! Everyone was very polite. Family feel to the place! The 25 min drive was well worth it! We are looking forward to the warmer weather so we can enjoy the outdoor dining. The establishment is very clean & comfortable! We will be back soon! Thank ypu for a great experience!! 👍🏻

    My husband and I live in Virginia (DMV) we were in the area visiting family and decided to come here for a much needed night away from kids. We wish we would of chosen elsewhere because we were rushed the entire time. Not even a minute after our appetizer was on the table we had 3 different people bothering us. They have young kids working here that go from table to table to collect plates and ask how your doing. I’m all for great service but they literally didn’t stop bothering us and it just ruined it for us. We felt rushed and couldn’t enjoy the one night we got to go out. I’ve worked in the food industry before and yes you should absolutely be attentive to your tables but you also need to give people a chance to try the food before you run back and ask how it is or take ask to take plates from food that aren’t finished and people are still eating. It was just too much for us. We didn’t get to enjoy our date night at all and knew that we were being rushed. We weren’t even there long and didn’t get there during a rush. I’d say go here if you want a “quick” rushed dinner. The food was ok I wouldn’t say I was impressed. The drinks were too “different” very odd combinations that didn’t make me want to try them because they were pricey so if you order a drink and don’t like it it’s a waste of money. Maybe we will try again another time but I wouldn’t go out of my way.

    Food was really good. Extremely disappointed on prices from the drink menu. A margarita was $13 for a small 8 oz glass. Other drinks on the drink menu were also very over priced. Comparing the margarita to other restaurants in the area, $13 for an 8 oz glass is not worth it while others places usually charge $7-8 per glass and that’s a 16 oz glass. You could spend a fortune on drinks on here. Personally, $13 for a mixed drink like this would be worth it if it was in a larger size, not in a 8 oz glass. I would have drank a few more if I knew that my drink wasn’t going to be more expensive then my dinner. Drinks off of the summer menu are just as expensive. Please reevaluate the prices and sizes of your mixed drinks in comparison to other restaurants in the area.

    My first time visiting. My Husband, my Daughter and I went for Valentine's Day. I had the special flounder stuffed with crabmeat. It was incredible...they both had the fried chicken..which was equally as good. No bones and delicious fancy sides. We sat by a big window with a pretty view of the golf course, which was snow covered, and saw a whole group of deer pass by. The staff was very friendly and the place was very clean. A great atmosphere. Not terribly expensive..and casual dress. Even the ride up to the place was nice. We will def go back !

    Unfortunately we were served raw pork egg rolls. I now have a serious GI problem that started shortly after dinner. I did consume one bite before realizing it was still cold and uncooked. Waitress took it off the bill, but later that night and today are constant reminders 🥲
