Not just pub food, good variety and flavor. Friendly efficient staff. Friendly and welcoming patrons.

I would not bother showing up for food. stop in for happy hour and drop in at chesters for a bite to eat. Unfortunately the alchohol doesn't complement the food, could do alot better of with my home bar and kitchen. #bar rescue read more

Nice establishment. Good staff. Really good food. Patrons for a little rowdy but the staff handled it well.

Stopped by tonight to grab dinner. Place was busy, looked like two gals working, i understand being busy, but when you stand around and just BSing to get more tips and ignore the people who walk in, make eye contact with you and they sit, and sit, then finally leave cause no service, well hope they get paid well, and the owners wonder why not much in t read more

First timers. Nice and open. Very clean. Ordered burgers and onion rings. The meat must have been an inch thick. The meat had an off flavor, like it was old. The onion rings were overcooked. She never asked us what kind of dipping sauce. Had to ask the waitress for a knife. Then salt, then a coaster. She was very inattentive. Never asked to refresh our drinks. We didn't see her again until we wanted to go and tried to get her attention. When she got our tab, she stood over us like we were going to dine and dash. It was very uncomfortable. The waitress needs better training in our view. It could have been more enjoyable. We most likely will not be back. By the way, it was not busy. Maybe 10 to 12 people. Even that might be a stretch. read more

Excellent place to spend a summer afternoon. Good food and lots of good beer on tap, reasonably priced drinks and a fun atmosphere. Only wish I lived a little closer. read more

Always a good time and great service! love the bartenders and the food is great super chill vibe and great music when people play what vibes they're into that night read more

Won't back to this bar if Chayeen their bartender not work there in a day time. Because their other bartender for today August 23, 2023 charged my bf extra $2.00 for Coke refill while he was the DD. Never look to our faces when few times passed our table, til we asked her for next drinks. Not answer me when I said 'good bye', even we left enough cash for her tips on a table. Well, I guess we are not welcome there in her schedule. We miss you, Chayeen! Thank you for always been nice to us! read more

I want here last night and had a great time! The bartenders were amazing and they made us wings and tots that were perfect. I hope the owner sees this and gives them the credit they deserve! read more

The absolute worst breakfast I have ever had. My husband got his breakfast 10 minutes before mine and my breakfast was freezing cold and looked disgusting. It was. Bacon was stringy and overcooked. My over easy eggs were brown and totally overcooked. The hashbrowns were paper thin and just crunchy and greasy. My toast was fine thank goodness. My husband's omelet was way overcooked, hardly any cheese or filling and brown. His hashbrowns were like mine but his toast wasn't toasted. I gave it 2 stars because we like the inside. Maybe just something deep fried and drinks from now on. read more

I have driven past this place for years, when my son finally said we should try somewhere different for lunch and go in. There were two drunk twenty-somethings out front on the picnic table and we became apprehensive immediately. I know it is a bar, but at 11 am, you aren't quite ready to listen to two very loud drunks. I live in a small town and believe me, I know the scene, no where else to eat but the local bars, at times. Once inside, it was just us and one other guy. It is brighter than any bar I have been in, and very clean. It looked more like any other restaurant. The waitress came right over, took our orders. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and my son got their signature burger and an order of hot wings. The wings took about fifteen minutes to come out and they were, actually, too spicy hot to eat, and that is saying a lot since my son loves extreme heat, but my salad came out about ten minutes after the wings and then another ten minutes or so for our food to hit the table. Once our food came, the waitress/bartender and the cook from the back, both went outside to join the girls that were out front. They were both gone the entire time we ate the main dish. Not impressed with that part of it, but I would have preferred them to stay out since the two women followed them in, and proceeded to yell at the lottery machines. Yep, I wished I had won the lottery, too, but wasn't cussing the machine out. The chicken was good, only complaint, it was three chicken tenders that kept sliding off the ciabatta bun. I posted a picture of the burger my son ordered, it looked pretty, but he right away said it was nearly impossible to eat, and he is adventurous. We had cut our sandwiches in half and shared, and I immediately thought of meatloaf when I took my first bite of the burger, so I was over it. He left half of his half behind. He did say it was pretty good though, but too much. When we first sat down, we said we'd go back, but I am not sure if they will make it to the list of places, even though the food wasn't all that bad. The waitress was nice but as I said before, she was outside the entire time we were eating, so no refills right away. read more

See all

I am amending my earlier review of this place. Had a bad experience there, so I'm telling it like it is. Used to be one of our spots to play VP, and know that's it's your typical dive bar, but the place is filthy. Dog urine on every corner. Infested with bugs and the floor is always sticky. Plus the bartender admitted to stealing tickets from the VP machines. No joke! We made a call to the lottery office and turned them in. This place should either shut down or sell it to someone who cares about the quality of the business and hiring competent, honest employees. read more

Wow this place stepped it up! Had not been here for 8 years due to poor quality and service. Gave it a go again and they are great. Fresh food, good portions and priced right. Staff does a great job even when short handed. Kitchen helps bring out the food and he is super nice as well. Great job on the turn around we will be back! read more

The food is good, and the bartenders, including Cheyanne, Karen and Valerie are amazing!

Hit and miss here, every few times I go here they seem to have a different cook, I've had some really good food here and a couple times not so much. I do like their gizzards so 3 stars for that :) read more

Sat and waited 30 minutes tonight and was ignored the entire time. Had to go elsewhere to get food. We're in here once or twice a week and usually have great service but this is the second time in a few months we've never been helped. Clean it up please. read more

Came in on Sunday after a long day of yard work. Needed refreshment, STAT! I had read the reviews about the Bloody Marys, here and asked the bartender about them. "I make the best around," said Megan. She wasn't just making this up, the Bloody Marys are THE BOMB!! Highly recommend jumping off 26 and taking the "BACKROADS!" read more

Backroads Pub & Grub - Best Bloody Marys around! - American Near Me - Boring, Oregon

Use to be a regular here, then things started going down hill about a year ago, bad food, horrible staff, so we stopped going. Decided to give it a try last weekend and taco Wednesday, noticed some things had changed, cleaned the place up a little and had a new staff, thought it looked promising, boy were we wrong, service on Saturday was subpar and slow and on taco Wednesday we couldn't even get service, the wait staff walked by us several times and didn't even look at us or acknowledge us. Will never return here, like the old saying goes, " first time shame on you, second time shame on me" read more

Honestly we barely come here as it is and the last time we were there recently my boyfriend and I got treated so poorly by these two girls that were bartending that night so what happened was me and my boyfriend were going in and we were getting our drinks we had beer and enjoying our time with our friends and then all of a sudden one of the girls comes up to us and says hey is this your car and we said yes apparently she accused us saying that there is an oil leak coming from out of her car and we're like no because we were out another place before that and there is no oil leak and we know which parking way we went through into the parking lot and she started to argue with us telling us that we have to leave your done! she physically grabbed our drinks out of our hand and then she followed us outside to check the leak and it was not from our car because the car that was there before us they drove off and you can see the tracks of where they drove out of the parking lot and a line of oil leak from another vehicle she gives me attitude the whole time and realizes that the leak is not from our car and maybe like 10 minutes after the other girl comes out and start screaming at us telling us that we have to leave it's our fault when the leak was not even coming from our car it was the car before us and they were getting in our face screaming and yelling and then they had a whole bunch of other people willingly screaming and yelling at us this is the worst experience I've ever had at this place I've never had somebody physically grab something out of my hand and get in my face! read more

If you're looking for great eats on a Wednesday or Friday night you can't Taco Wednesday or Fish and Chips Friday. $2 will get you 3 of the best Tacos you can find in the Portland area. $8 on Friday will get you 3 pieces of fish, home made clam chowder, cole slaw and fries. Backroads may be out of the way, but you won't regret the drive. read more

We are Bloody Mary snobs. Hands down the best bloody Mary ever. They need to bottle and sell that stuff.

We mainly visit for the Wednesday Taco Special, but it's awesome. Tacos are .75 each, service has always been great. The inside does NOT match the outside--very bright, very nice. Always had a pleasant experience. read more

A slight jaunt off Hwy 26 will lead you to Backroads Pub & Grub on (Orient Drive). Whether your going UP the Mountain or DOWN. Easy access will lead you to an enticing casual dining experience. No Dress Code for a great come as you are dining and libation experience where there's a full delicious menu to choose from along with various daily and seasonal specials. Terrific staff (especially Megan) and a cook who doesn't mind special requests all delivered in a timely manner and with more than a smile. I've never been disappointed at Backroads and always left satisfied both with food and service. Friendly Lottery machines too. Good Luck to You Too !! Their Classic Car Cruises during the summer are fun too. read more

We stopped for the first time the early evening of April 28 to have a drink and dinner. The food was OK (the deep fryer grease needs to be changed) and it came fairly quick. The waitress was non-existent after taking the order and bringing the food to the table. The place is fairly clean but the carpet on the floor is very dirty and old and should be thrown out ASAP. They would be much better off just painting the concrete floor with slip resistant paint if it is a concrete floor under the carpet. read more

GREAT FOOD and friendly service. We have made this our regular place for lunch weekly because the food is always good, the portions are large, and the staff is always friendly and attentive. Megan is awesome! read more

My wife and i had the ribeye on a quiet Sunday night. Excellent food, friendly staff. Portion was generous. We will be back!
