What reviewers say about Back Draft Bar and Grill
People say this restaurant serves delicious burgers, wings, and Philly cheesesteaks. They also highlight the generous portions, welcoming environment, and friendly staff. Other reviews mention the service can be slow.
“Wing day Wednesday is the reason I go to back draft 70 cent wings are hard to beat esp when they are as large and tasty as what they are serving up. I ALWAYS get the buffalo garlic parm. Its seriously the best. I get the wings naked then get the sauce on the side for extra crispy wings. Service can be on the slower side but not unbearable, I think it's because they only have one server for the tables and bar on Wednesday. But the staff is always so sweet and attentive. The server this past Wednesday was fantastic! Its a dive-y bar but it's clean and easy to navigate”
“Place feels clean and nicer than a lot of the other local dives! my service was super friendly and we did not wait long for food. Chicken Cobb, pretzel sticks, mozzarella sticks and chicken tenders were all really decent. Look, it's not 5 star housemade food, but it's a lot better than other local bar food I've had. I wonder if it's hit or miss from prior google reviews, but we had a nice experience all around! The two bar tenders were very nice and you don't always get that if you're not a "regular" at a place like this! I will absolutely be back, I think it's worth another shot if you're in the area and looking for very good prices and a decent meal 👌”
“From out of town and decided to come check it out. Lucked out and came on a Wednesday night which was $.75 wings for 10ea. Beer was great and cheap, the people were amazing and the staff were nice and attentive to anything you needed. I always love a good dive but this was just perfect. Pool tables, darts, touch tunes, plenty of screens to watch all the games, if I could have gotten the whole place to go, I certainly would have. 10/10 will be back here any chance I get.”
