I've been on the hunt for the best catfish in the area and this place was recommended. I was thrilled that they even serve grilled catfish which is harder to find. You can get the 1 piece fillet dinner with sides or 3 fillets with no sides. I didn't want sides so got the 3 piece and had 1 fried and 2 grilled. The 3 pieces were thick, juicy and cooked to perfection! I loved both the grilled and fried version. Our waitress was very nice, attentive and the food came out hot and fresh. My husband got the Texas BBQ burger and while it looked amazing, he said it lacked seasoning and wasn't impressed. He ate it though and said he would return and try something else. I still gave 5 stars because the fish was so good! read more

Randomly found this spot on the way back from Red Bud, we wanted to eat somewhere different. SO glad we came across this spot! We got fried green beans for an app and they were fire. My son got the chicken strips and fries. Hubs got the Texas burger and a salad. I got the chicken sandwich and sweet potatoe fries. Oh. My. Gosh. Everything was amazing. The service was stellar-Angie knows what's up. The patio was the best part - so gorgeous out there! Def will come back on the motorcycle. Such a pretty drive to a pretty place. Highly recommend for food, service and ambiance!! read more

Hard to even give it one star...third time giving them a chance - never again. Waited over 90 minutes for our food with no one ever giving us an update, and only after asking where our food was did they manage to bring it out a few minutes later, but oddly enough, it still comes out cold and stale. Burgers with cheese that was hardly melted, potato skins that were hard on the bottom, mozzarella sticks that were solid inside, cold tater tots - there's no way that food just came out of a fryer. Nice venue, nice bar and outside area, but the service is beyond horrendous. read more

First time eating here. The food was delicious but what stood out the most was our server. She said she has worked there since it opened in 2016. I'm bad about remembering names but she was so friendly she deserves 5 stars! read more

Good food good service hand cut chicken tenders, drink specials, friendly crowd fantastic hamburgers

Good and inexpensive. Service amiable. Very local flavor and color in this farmland bar and restaurant.

Great place has great outdoor seating with covered patio, game room for adults and kids. Great food selection and best cod cut ups around!

I met a friend for drinks it was a shame we could get a drink. I sat there for 15 minutes beore I finally flagged the bartender down for a drink. She never checked on us. I finally sat there like a toddler with my hand in the air trying to get her attention. She even walked by me with out looking. We asked about the special. She said "Tacos" and walked away. We had to flag her down again just to order our food. She never asked if we needed anything else. The tacos were amazing but the service was some of the worst I've ever had. I wish Gina was still there on Tuesdays. She was the best. Always filled our drinks, checked to see how our food was ect. The young girl working last night has no business in the service industry. It was my friends 1st time there she loved the outdoor area and had no idea there is live music and beautiful patio. We will be back but if the same girl is working, I'm walking out! read more

Terrible service and terrible food with high prices! I do not recommend this place! It is conveniently close to us but every time we go, we leave unhappy. We have been disappointed too many times and will not be going back! read more

I was here for a class reunion. Tons of bartenders and servers so you did not wait for a drink. We had appetizers which were tasty and quick. They have a beautiful outside patio area where they have bands on Sunday. The restrooms are huge and very clean. The owner was their and taking care of customers all night. I plan on going back for dinner and music soon. read more

Amaze-balls y'all ! Been driving by for awhile and decided to stop or lunch. Super cute bar and grill but so much more. We got burgers cause we can. Praline sauce for the sweet potato fries is OFF THE CHAIN ! Hubby had the party melt and it was really good. Just like everyone they are a little short handed but it only took 20 min for everything to hit the table. Lots of TV's to watch the game and pool table and basketball to kill time while waiting. Beautiful outside seating area too. You HAVE to check it out. Definitely a destination location! read more

BackStreet Wine And Dine - Double burger and sweet potato fries! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Hecker, Illinois

See all

Atmosphere here is great. Especially if you sit outside. Their backyard area has been upgraded with a really nice patio and stage area. I ordered the sirloin tips with a sweet potato and hush puppies. All excellent. Others got the sirloin steak with mashed potatoes, pub burger, Philly steak sandwich, fried pickles and said they were tasty. My husband got the chicken Caesar salad, which was not so great. The lettuce was limp like day old salad. Tasted all right but the wilted lettuce was disappointing. I ordered a lemon drop martini and was given a 7-up and lemon vodka bar drink. Service was great though. Overall a nice family evening out. read more

Long waits "1.5-2hrs" with only a few tables of customer. We live close by and don't eat at back street wine and dine because it is typically is a disappointment. read more

been here 1 1/2 and still no food! cant turn ac on because "the owner controls it remotely "they dont have thermostats! Help Help Help !

NOTE: This is not a wine bar! The name is more of a play on the euphemism. They do have wines, but not a huge selection. On with the review... This place was pretty neat. Set off the main street, this restaurant seems new and well outfitted. We went on a Friday night for dinner and there was a live band (more on that later). Service was very excellent, our server was on top of everything, had great menu knowledge, and was very friendly as well. The food was also very good. My wife had the wings, which were perfectly cooked, and I had a hand pattied burger. Most places that say "hand pattied" mean "hand pattied*" but this burger was definitely crafted by a human. And it was delicious. My only gripe was the live band. We went at 8, kitchen closed at 9. We were warned that the band was loud. No worries, we were there to eat and leave. The band started at 8:30... They weren't loud, they were deafening. The sound meter on my phone had them at 127dB, which, according to Google, is right above a pneumatic riveter and right below a jet engine takeoff. The acoustics in the place probably made it that level due to echo effects. Anyway, once they started, conversation between me and my wife and the server became texting on our phones for each other to read. Most places won't start a band until after the kitchen closes so that people there for dinner can speak to each other. Or if they still want to serve food, limit the menu to apps so that sit down diners know what's about to happen to them. The place is relatively new, so I'm still going to be giving five stars... But maybe they should think about that in the future? Please? Anyhow, worth it for the food and service. If you are going for dinner and conversation, make sure you avoid the band. read more

I have been to Backstreet in the past and have had decent meals and service but last night was different. My sister was in town so I said lets do taco Tuesday at Backstreet. First we waited forever to order our drinks then had to wait again to place our order. From the time we sat at our table to to time we finally got our food it was over an hour. There were people who came in after me and received their food and were done by the time we received our food. It seems they care care of people they know before others even if the customers who came in before the ones the know. Plan on a lot of time if you plan on going. Not happy. read more

We placed it to go order and we're told it would be ready in 30 to 35 minutes we arrive 20 minutes later and the food was already sitting on the counter, ready to go. It took a while for someone to wait on us and by the time we got home, which is only a two minute drive, the food was cold. After we reheated it at home I will say it was delicious. read more

We tried this place out since it was our anniversary and we wanted to stay close but try something new. The building and location are great. We walked in to a very uninviting staff. I don't think anyone smiled even once. We ordered our food, finally, which took forever. Come to find out they were apparently ensuring that the steak was in fact done. Two bites was all I could handle before my jaws gave out on me. As we were sitting there three glasses were brought back in by the customer because their server also didn't feel like serving apparently. The glasses were loaded with lipstick from the previous customers. The beer was cold though so it earned them an extra star on this review. read more

Had lunch there on a Saturday had the best cheese burger drove from west end Belleville friendly staff and the coldest beer.it was worth the drive to check it out .going back again to hang out and eat.and check out the bands.. read more

Found this awesome place accidentally. GO FIND IT!!! Awesome food and very reasonably priced. We have never had a bad meal. Made it my birthday spot! Cheap high quality food and very friendly a staff! read more

My earlier review still stands. Big fan of this little known but nice dining Fun experience. At the very end of the road off mainstreet Hecker. Look for the small sign entering "Back street" near the fire station on the south side of town. You will not believe the interior of this place considering Hecker only has 500 people. Big and newly constructed with a modern yet rustic look. Hats off to the 2 women owners who took a big chance in such a remote little town. Steaks and a menu is far from rural bar food. The cook must have some formal training for sure. Check it out. Its not a pricey menu nor pricey full bar. Patio seating too. Watch the corn grow! read more

Without question our favorite place to go for food, entertainment and personalized service. Extremely clean, high quality food and great staff! Tuesday night XTreme Bingo is highly entertaining as well! The level of thought they have put into the entertainment offered & customer satisfaction is rare and makes this 1st on our list of go to places. read more

We arrived at 6 pm to join a group would was there at 5:30 pm. They had already put in an order for onion rings. They did say food would take an hour. OK. Two hours later the food started to come out, including the onion rings that had been order before I arrived. Took 2 1/2 hrs. for an appetizer to come out along with our food order. The purpose of ordering an appetizer is to have something to nibble on while you wait for your food. An hour after we order our food we asked about the onion rings, the waitress said they ran out and had to make more ! They brought out the food but forgot one of the kids meals. It is now 8 pm. It appeared that if you knew the staff and owner you received your food first, even if you ordered it before them. I'll never eat there again read more

A friend recommended this place so we tried it a couple weeks ago. The service was very good and the pulled pork special was delicious! We'll come back again. read more

For a change of pace and that hometown feel, BackStreet has a little of everything. We tried the BLT and the evening special of pulled pork. Both were good. If you like pool, they have pool though it's a bit too close to the tables for my liking. And on many Saturday nights they have bands, so after you've had a nice dinner, you can kick off your shoes and dance the night away. read more

Cold beer and great food. Very friendly staff. I recommend for that day drinking adventure.

Amazing food, service and entertainment. Have always had fabulous service no matter the day or time.

Stopped in for breakfast. Service was fine. Food was good. Biscuit and gravy was a bit peppery for us. Good local restaurant. We will stop by again. read more
