    Backdraft Clucker and fries
    Marla N.

    OMG - what a great find hidden in the corner of a strip center. The service was friendly and on top of it without being pushy. There's a good amount of draft beers available plus wines and other cocktails. The food - wonderful! We ordered the chicken Cesar wrap with was delicious and a good size. We also got the Backdraft Clucker and fries. The fries were great but the sandwich, phenomenal! What a great blend of flavors and seriously big enough to share either one!

    Came here with a group after touring some agriculture farms. The tour guides had nothing but good things to say about this spot. Happy to report they were in fact correct! We sat outside in the back, as we were quite a large group. The menu has some really great options from pizza to burgers to salads and sandwiches. I ordered the burger because I was interested in their patty blend and we ordered a couple of pizzas for the table. Our server did an amazing job with such a large party! Our food came out in a timely manner and fresh. The burger was SO good! The patty blend was amazing! The pizza was pretty good too although my preference is much more crispy crust. I still ate it and it was great! The french fries were a delight to eat! Not too greasy and well seasoned. What a pleasant surprise!

    First time visiting for lunch and it did not disappoint! I love the ambiance I live the menu item names!! The waitresses are so sweet and professional, they multitask like a BEAST! The burger was cooked to perfection!! The fries were so delicious and that dip was 100/10 so so so delicious.

    The food was really good. I'll be back. Not sure about some of the other reviews. Our service was fine. We had the deviled egg appetizer, as well as the mayday fries. I had the Cobb salad and my son had the slop over chicken. The deviled eggs was so delicious as they usually are. The mayday fries were great too. They were really loaded with cheese and chicken not much fries but that's good right? I loved the cobb salad. Was pretty huge and filling. I wasn't sure what to expect with my son's entree but it was really tasty although a bit small for his appetite. The sides were the amazing part of the dish. My husband enjoyed his burger and the blazin bacon is really blazin. Mother in law had the pizza which we helped finish off and I enjoyed it.

    First of all. Josh. The end. Just kidding. The food was good and I'll get into that later but having a great and thoughtful server was the bees knees and that was Josh. We had three adults, a toddler in a high chair and a baby in a high chair. He took care of all of us and then some. He definitely let us have more room instead of smashing us into a table of 4. He pushed together two tables. Which...if you have a toddler and hot plates... you just gotta know.... good call Josh! His food recs were on point. Smoked Gouda is his jam haha. The portions were large. The CPR was the best with whatever bread and cheese josh recommended. The Mac daddy wasn't something in thought I'd like but josh was right again. The sauce on the patty was a bbq type light sauce which made it tasty. We also got an italiano? Salad. And I wasn't expecting much but dude!Portion was good and it was a really well rounded salad with good amount of non-green ingredients! The food was unique and gourmet. Not what we expected and super happy with this place we happened to google because we wanted AC Drinks wise we got the Mike's black mojito, margarita and a Moscow mule and all hit the spot. Ambiance was good. We actually meant to eat at the Mexican spot in the same plaza but it had no ac and was super stuffy. If you're looking for sports or something they had like 5-6 TVs. 4 different types of sports on at the same time. There is also a backyard /outdoor eating area as well.

    Such a good experience! Definitely will be coming back. The food was an absolute 10/10 for some bbq and very unique definitely an underrated place! I also loved the energy and vibes. The names of the dishes on the menu everything was fire fighter related! Great prices and fast service! Btw the 5150 sauce is the best I wish they sold it!!

    Everyone who works at Backdraft greeted us with enthusiasm. All friendly which is always a good thing. The decor was basically like the name says backdraft like the movie with Patrick Swaze. Didn't really know how the atmosphere was like inside because it was a hot day, and we opted to dine outside. Two of us ordered byop...mine was the pesto steak combo, another ordered pineapple pepperoni on marinara. One had fries(delicious btw) two of us had Mac and cheese. TBH I've had better Mac and cheese, and. Better pizza. Just no flavor . Still an enjoyable night to spend with friends

My only qualm would be that the cash only system is outdated, it is 2025 we need to be able to accept credit and debit cards. Otherwise I would come and visit much more often. Pulling out cash is a major pain in the @ss and inconvenience. We don't care if there's an ATM right there because we don't want to pay an ATM fee just to have a couple drinks. The wait staff are VERY kind and COURTEOUS. Thank you! However the DJ is kind of a d!ck, and by that I mean a complete A-hole. He selectively chooses who he will allow to sing at karaoke and who he will not allow. And I am one that he will not allow. He only plays one type of music, which is old school hip hop, which I do not mind, but is just a pre-made setlist and he has no interest in playing music people actually want to hear, he just does his own thing and ignores everybody else. So I think you need to get rid of that guy John, who does the music, he is not nice to anyone and treats them all like garbage. Other than that it's a great place.

Mangia e Bevi's pizze scored a hit with all 4 of us, including my celiac DIL who must eat gluten free. My pistachio pesto pizza with mortadella and arugula was the real deal. It transported me back to Naples with the first bite. We appreciate the special measures they take for those with celiac by cleaning the pizza oven thoroughly to remove any traces of gluten before baking the GF pizza. The GF pasta is cooked in separate water from the regular in order to prevent cross contamination. I sampled her GF Margherita pizza, and found it delicious. A crispy exterior on the crust cradling a soft, pillowy interior contrasted beautifully with the fresh tomato sauce and cheese on the pie. One person went rogue by ordering a pasta with bolognese. Yummy. Mangia e Bevi's is an especially rich, meaty version of the sauce. Quite delicious.
