First time here, wow what a nice surprise! Impeccable service from Kaylee and the food was spot on. Great wings and chili! Will be back!

Have driven past Backroads for years now and have never stopped in. Had gotten takeout once before awhile ago. We had gone on a Wednesday and they were pretty busy, they were doing a song bingo game but we only dined in. We did make a reservation and got sat right away, there was no wait however. Drinks were fantastic, strong but not enough to make it non enjoyable. We got the blueberry lemon drop, sweet but not overpowering and the mule which was good as well. We got cheese curds as an appetizer, delicious dipping sauce! We both got burgers as well, the Cheese Head and the Bourbon Barrel. Wish the Cheese Head had more cheese and less Chipotle Ranch, it sort of overpowered the burger. Seems like there's not a bad thing on the menu. Everything felt like high quality ingredients, the restaurants atmosphere was great to be around too. Staff was friendly and took care of us. Pricing is a bit up there but worth it! read more

Janae was a great waitress, but avoid the vodka pasta. It is not a vodka sauce, they would do better buying Classico vodka sauce and have happier customers. read more

Great food, good times! Backroads was clean and the service was great. Elliot and Gianna were fantastic!

My family and I came to this place on a whim, and it was fantastic. Our waitress was very polite and personable. We started off with the cheese curds, and they came with a delightful chipotle ranch. I ordered the "3 AM Country Brunch" Burger, and it was delicious. It was cooked well, the toppings and sauces were great, and it had a unique flavor combination I've not seen in a burger ever before. If you're looking for a unique burger place, try coming here. read more

Great food and most of the time the service is pretty good. The location is convenient too

Great food and service every time I have gone. Everyone I have brought has felt the same way.

Great atmosphere, good food, and great service. Servers can answer any questions you might have.

I've been there twice. Atmosphere was good both time. Friendly and tentative server. Food came out quickly as ordered. I did a burger both times. If you're looking for a place to unwind and hangout out with friends, it's a great spot. I will definitely return. read more

Our waitress Caitlyn Cohan was the best. Super nice and kind. She got all the orders correct and out fast. The soup was 10/10 and came out almost immediately. read more

First time coming here after a basketball game in the area. What a great place! One of the best burgers I've had with their blue cheese burger (see pic). My dad loved the pulled pork, and my son enjoyed his homemade Mac and cheese as well. read more

WOOOOOOOOW! I am known for always wanting to order a burger when we go out to eat. They are simply one of my favorite foods and this place is EASILY in my top 10 favorite burger spots. I ordered the Rio Bravo burger, which came with guacamole, fried jalapenos and chipotle mayo. Done, done and done! What I also had mad respect for was how well the burger was seasoned and cooked. Additionally, I loved the online ordering. You can customize your burger so many ways. You can choose the patty, the bun, put items on the side and many choices of sides. I cannot wait to order from this place again and try another one of their burgers. They have so many options to choose from. Lastly, I want to thank the young lady who brought our order out to the car. She took the time to stop and say thank you to me for ordering from them. She understands that many families are struggling right now and they really appreciate the business. It's always nice when businesses show their appreciation. So, take my advice and order from this place! You won't be disappointed. read more

My wife saw their add on Facebook and we decided to check it out . It's a 45 minute drive for us and it was totally worth it !! We shared the cheese curds and the Philly Rolls , both were amazing !! I ordered the burger of the month , the Me So Corny . It was so good !! My wife had the the Down South Philly and loved it . Our server Linda and as amazing !! Whave ok definitely be back !! read more

I took a star off only because online ordering for takeout is the option. You're not supposed to call in a takeout order and it's inconvenient and unusual and I am deterred as a result. But the food is excellent!! read more

Really had high hopes for this place, was average at best. Burger was decent but nothing to write home about

My husband and I stopped into this new(to us!) restaurant for dinner tonight-- sans toddler. Excellent service and food! We each got the chicken rice soup to start, after reading the rave reviews here. Omg! Soooo good!! We both got burgers. I got the 3am & hubs got the backroads. Their bbq sauce is delicious! And the fries were perfectly cooked-- nice and crisp and well seasoned. The meat was really flavorful as well. Becca was our server, and she was very attentive! The kitchen got a bit backed up(trivia night), and a manager(possibly one of the owners?) came over to apologize about the wait time. We weren't in a hurry so it didn't bother us. Great customer service. We will definitely be back. Probably with toddler next time, ha! Yum. read more

We had a great dinner tonight. Jackie was our server and made sure that we were well taken care of. We'll be back!

Best Nashville hot chicken sandwich ever the MacDaddy made it 10 times better and it should be ordered highly. The food came out in like 15 minutes and the noise was quiet with very quiet talking far from the bar. read more

We have been coming here for years when it was Katie's and then last year when it changed names. It looks like it under new ownership again. Our family always came because they would have a great Lent fish fry. However this year very disappointed and won't be back. To start waitress told us no specials for lent. She said just fish and chips meal and it's not unlimited fish. When we got our food it was $13 dollars and we got two small pieces of fish and fries. Also fish was like getting fish out of a box from the grocery store. Very disappointed and left hungry. Your in Chicago all restaurants take advantage of lent and offer fish fry to get more people in. All the restaurants in Plainfield are doing specials. We will be going McBrides or Crafted in the future. read more

Backroads Burger & Bar - $13 fish and chips dinner. Cheap fish, and very little / small serving that isn't unlimited. - Burgers Near Me - Plainfield, Illinois

We sometimes eat at this restaurant, and have always had a great experience. Tonight was no exception. Our server Jackie was excellent and attentive and accommodating. I always try their burger of the month. This month the burger was Beware Of Dog. It did not disappoint! Their burgers are fabulous, and this one was a mashup of a great bacon cheeseburger and Chicago dog with the works of toppings. Really enjoyed this meal and really hope it's brought back again soon. The restaurant is always clean and fun place for anyone including families. Highly recommend. If you haven't tried it, do so soon! read more

Food, drinks and service never disappoint. I'm local on there are a lot of good choices in Plainfield but this place is in my top 5!

I work late and usually get out to eat around 8. Ever since Covid, Backroads has been kicking people out earlier and earlier. Tonight last call was 9:30 because a quarter inch of snow was on the ground. At 10:00, the manager was shutting off all of the TV's basically forcing us out the door. I didn't know my bedtime would be earlier and earlier every time I come here because the employees hate working here. Yes, they make it very clear that they don't want to be there and are trying everything they can to get out the door. Bar stools are pushed way out, brooms flying everywhere, no regard for the customers. As far as the Food, If Bob or the other long time cook are not working, your Burger will be dried out and burnt to a piece of Charcoal like mine was tonight. Sammy's will be opening soon, and I hope they don't treat their customers like this place does. This place has gone down hill bigtime since it opened. Later from a regular for many years. read more

Great food, great carry outs fun place! Great place to meet friends, watch a game or even an area to host a oparty! Service is exceptional and very friendly. Great outdoor are as well and open on Modays! read more

Backroads is always our go to when we go out particularly when we have out of town guests or family. Everyone is very friendly and we always have a great time. I have been multiple times and have enjoyed everything I have ordered from their menu. I highly recommend Backroads Pub & Grill! read more

I love going to backroads. Our family goes for all major family events. Servers are great, foods are great.

My daughter pick this Restaurant for her birthday dinner and I was not disappointed. Everything about this place was wonderful. From our server, Hannah, to the meals and down to the dessert. I find locally run restaurants so much more enjoyable than expensive corporate chains. Will definitely be coming back, whether we are celebrating something or just because. read more

Good and drinks were great as well as the service. Prickly Pear margarita was outstanding.

Abby was amazing! Constantly serving great drinks and food. $4.25 Tito's on Tuesday and bingo. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend for anyone! read more

Our first visit on a Sunday evening had me hoping Plainfield had another good dining option. The Sunday specials enticed us to order $7 nachos...we're suckers for good nachos. These are absolutely huge with lots of goodies on them. We both got burgers ordered medium- rare. Oddly enough, one was cooked correctly but mine was medium-well. They made another one but it's always disappointing to have to wait. Nothing was discounted off the bill, which would have been nice for the inconvenience. The burgers are good if they're cooked as you order them. Not, sure if we'll be back. read more

I've been wanting to try this place out since they've recently opened and finally got the chance to on a Tuesday night. We were seating immediately after walking in and decided to dine in the bar area. As soon as we sat down the waitress came over to take our drink orders. They were hosting a bingo night (the bingo was free and offered some cool prizes) and the dj running the bingo came over and give us all bingo cards and stampers. I ordered the "Shroomer" burger (Swiss mushrooms sautéed onions mayo and shredded lettuce) and added bacon. My sister got the "You're My Boy Blue" burger (Melted chunky bleu cheese with some chunks left peppered bacon spicy ranch lettuce tomato and onion). Our food came out really quick and was hot. My burger was a bit overcooked, I ordered med rare and got med well, but it was still good. My sister's burger was a little under cooked. The burgers were really big, though, so bring your appetite! We wound up staying for a couple of hours playing bingo and I even won a pair of tickets to Zanie's comedy club! We had a few beers and great time. I found out from another customer that they have a rewards program and asked to sign up but they were out of cards :(. I'll have to sign up my text time in. read more

Good food good service, outdoor patio is very nice during the summer time, everything is reasonably priced

Service is fine food is overpriced for very small portions and is mediocre at best. Sides are 5 dollars each and taste like they are microwaved. Make you pay in front of them to pressure you to tip. Inside ambiance is average at best outside is pretty good. read more
