I am from out of town and this spot was recommended to me as I was CRAVING a good burger and garlic fries! I got the sliders with blue cheese crumbles added, and garlic fries (which came with ranch without me asking!! A++!).... Phenomenal! The staff was very nice and they were cleaning up quickly. Thank you Backwoods Burgers! I will most definitely be back next time I travel this a way ... read more

Backwoods Burgers - Sliders and garlic fries - Burgers Near Me - Oakdale, California

Absolutely loved the food everything is delicious, service was fast and friendly, my favorite was the sliders

Family and I were on our way for a weekend of glamping..but first we needed to stop somewhere to for some grub. Asked the brood what they wanted and unanimously agreed to burgers. Burgers it is. This place had great reviews and rightfully so. Plenty of parking. Plenty of seating. Open concept as soon as you walk in. You are immediately greeted by the person behind the counter, and she was very helpful as soon as she figured we were new to the place. We ordered three of their Blue Collar burgers (no complaints, juicy and all things a burger should be. My son and I split the order of sliders which also were substantial for sliders and delicious. We ordered sides if fries which came out hot and crispy and fresh out the fryer. We also ordered a side of sweet potato fries that came with a side of marshmallow fluff. Lastly, we ordered a side of zuchinni fries which were garnished with garlic and shredded parmesan cheese. Bathrooms were clean. There is a bar and plenty of TV's to choose from if you want to enjoy a game while you eat. Prices were decent. Can't even complain that they didn't have meal deals because although we ordered burgers and the french fries and drinks on the side I believe we paid what we would have had we gone to McDonald's or even In N Out. So, its comparable to those two. read more

Another first, came to get some fruit for the Four Sons fruit stand. Started headed home and felt like a burger. Been by here quit a few times and it was always busy. Not today so we decided to check it out. Wow. Glad we did. We got out of the truck and man it smelled good. Came inside and the folks were very friendly and the service was excellent. As soon as we sat down to BS, bam! Or food was on the table. The portions were great. We were full when we were done. And it was delicious. read more

Typical Thursday dinner for me at this establishment. Always greeted with a smile and a "welcome in". The servers are friendly and always willing to help by grabbing you an extra sauce or two. Country music is the vibe here, after all this is "Oakdale bud!" Tonight we had the half fries and I had the Big Kahuna Burger. Pulled pork with pineapple and beef patty with all the fixings topped off with a hushpppy. The husband ordered the Smash Burger with one piece of cheese since 3 is too cheesy for him. If you love cheese keep it as is. One last thing the servers work very hard and you will see them clearing a table as your meal is finished and always keeping the floors clean as well. Will definitely return and probably sooner rather than later. read more

If I could give this place more than five stars I would. Had the smash burger. I usually eat just half but I couldn't stop and ate the whole thing!! Can't wait to come back!! read more

I very rarely get hamburgers, and when I do, I'm picky about them. Every time I come here this place always blows my mind. I tried the steak burger, and it was literally a ribeye steak in the middle of it. Their prices are comparable to fast food, but the food quality is 10 times better. read more

Came up on the spot during a Google search coming home from the chicken ranch casino and decided to give it a try. The staff was really friendly. Our food came out fast. The food was absolutely delicious. They have a little patio area where you can eat outside and bring your fur babies. Can't wait to come back and bring the rest of the family and try new things. read more

Loved everything about this place ! People are mellow and nice. Food was delicious and serving size is larger. Loved my hamburger and onion rings . Prices are less than what we would pay back in the Bay Area. read more

I always drive by here and was curious to go! They have little lights outside of their building which you can't miss going down Oakdale street! I had always wanted to try it because it looked so inviting and I loved a good cheeseburger. We came with a party of 8 for my twin cousins birthdays and they were EXTREMELY nice and accommodating even though they do not take reservations they really helped us out to big tables together to include everyone and one of the servers with the long braid, forgot her name but gosh she was the SWEETEST and I love chatting with her! 10/10 service!! The food was absolutely delicious I noticed on the menu they sure has some GOOD lookin sandwiches but since it was my first time dining there, an their known for their burgers, I got the smashed cheeseburger which was SO good the cheese was delicately melted to perfection, I couldn't notice my cousin got the "mac and cheese burger" interesting choice but she had been there many times and swore on oh! Now the garlic fries and ranch? Those were spectacular! They even come out and sing happy birthday with banana pudding but we brought our own cake beverage it was such a big party. All and all it was DEElicious and I'd love to return to try their pesto chicken sandwich this place was perfection and made my cousins birthday dinner totally perfect!!! read more

Our first visit here and we had a great dining experience. The seating atmosphere had many options. Super cute and modern with country vibe. The staff were all so nice and helpful! The food was AMAZING!! I actually avoid Oakdale like the plague but this restaurant may get me to become more of a regular! Some may find it pricey (everything is separate), but overall the food was worth it IMO. read more

This was a very yummy burger joint. We really enjoyed the Smash burger, the sandwich and the fries. The Tumbleweed burger was a bit dry, otherwise everything was great. They even have marshmallow fluff that comes with the sweet potato fries (which I am a sucker for). This is an order at the counter type of place, but they do come by and pick up trays. The staff were super nice and the ambiance was open and inviting. Definitely a good place to check out if you're in Oakdale! read more

Last Sunday while dining with a relative, I was made aware of a place called Backwoods Burgers located in Oakdale, CA. As this person knew what kinds of foods I liked, and had just dined there, it went to the top of my "let's go" list. As I happened, today my wife had the day off so away we went. Wow is all I can start with. From the moment another held the door for us, to the friendly greeting and smile of the young lady who waited on us at the counter to the decor and design inside and out, we immediately loved it. We found what we needed on the simple menu, accommodations from the git go, to even having a knife to cut our burgers in have (we rarely eat the whole thing right away). SOLID experience all around. Two burgers, sweet potato fries, fried zucchini and two ice teas was our meal. The burgers were tasty, the sides great, the staff on point start to finish, Ashley was our server and did an OUTSTANDING job all the way. We even had another customer hold the door on the way out. When I went to take a picture as we left, another fellow stopped so as not to walk into my shot. Wow again. If you love burgers, and are nearby, you need to try these folks' fare. You won't regret it. read more

Food was absolutely delicious. Got the Hawaiian burger in my second round. Enjoyed the sweet potato fries (served with marshmallow fluff, gotta try if you're into both). Zucchini fries as good as these are hard to come by. The staff is exponentially friendly. Loved being served by them, definitely made me feel welcome and want to come back for more along with their amazing food. Could not recommend enough. read more

We stopped at this burger place for lunch while visiting the area because they have good reviews on yelp. They have craft burgers with lots of flavors and options at a really good price. We also loved that they offer a variety of sides -- not just regular fries, but different kinds of fries and hush puppies. We really loved the hush puppies -- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and so tasty! I ordered the Tumbleweed Burger, which had good flavor overall, but it only had a very small dollop of barbecue sauce. I ended up asking for extra on the side, which made it much better. The onion rings were not your typical salty, crispy fried kind; instead, they had an interesting, different breaded coating. While they weren't what I expected, they were actually pretty good for what they were -- just lacking in seasoning. The dining environment is casual and welcoming, and I like that you order at the register -- it keeps things simple and quick. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Plus, they have a beer with great beers on tap. Overall, this place is worth checking out for a solid burger at a great price. read more

Loved this place. Ordered two salads cobb with steak and 2nd salad with chicken. Both salads were delicious. The blue cheese dressing was also delicious. This is the kind of place that you order at the counter you sit down and then they bring your food to you. We really took a gamble ordering salads from a burger place, but it paid off. They also have beer on tap. Since it was lunch we did not order beers. Employees were spot on. Just pleasant people. Recommend this place. read more

The food, service and ambiance, all amazing! I drove an hour and a half to try this place because my family loves burgers and I love vegetarian burgers. They can make any of their delicious burgers with the vegetarian patty. Sooo good! It's a fun atmosphere too! Then surprise surprise, they own the amazing ice cream shop behind the restaurant! Great experience we will be back for sure! PS please open a Backwoods Burgers in Sonora California next! read more

Been here a few times and usually really enjoy the food. The burgers are excellent -- juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. Today, I decided to switch it up and try the steak sandwich. It came as a square steak on a round roll with all the fixings. Unfortunately, the steak was on the thin side, so most of what I tasted was the bun and toppings rather than the meat itself. I also ordered the large garlic fries -- tasty, but they could have used a little more garlic punch. My 805 beer, however, was ice cold and refreshing, which definitely hit the spot. Plenty of seating at 12:30pm and the service is always top notch. This is the first time the food has felt a bit underwhelming here, but I'll absolutely be back -- next time for one of those great burgers. read more

Good burgers at a fair price with friendly service- what more could you ask for? A counter serve type eatery, the staff still takes the time to smile and ask if you need anything? Burgers sold ala cart but they are a mouthful and fries sold a full or half orders. I had a Tumbleweed burger and it had a well cooked Angus patty, pepper jack cheese melting on top, thick cut bacon, BBQ sauce and fresh produce. It was juicy and flavors melded nicely, not like some places that bury a tiny patty under veggies and sauce. Garlic fries were ok but not the intensely garlic flavor I like. Normal people will probably like these. It came with a side of ranch dressing but you can ask for more if you need it. Friends have been recommending this place but I usually drive after it closes so I'm glad I had time to stop in this time. Ample indoor seating for singles or small groups but looks like it could handle larger group (10+). Patio seating also available that looks like it would be nice a warm night. Decor was "modern western" but not intended to be a big feature. People go there for the FOOD. Lots of parking and easy to find. They also to-go orders for folks on the move who want more than fast food burger. read more

Beyond impressed. I was craving burgers on my long drive and this place popped up and look good. As soon as I walked in, the decorations and music already set the mood. The lady at the counter was friendly and accommodating and took my order with a smile. When another lady brought out my food, she asked if I needed anything else which I appreciated. I ordered The Big Kahuna burger and a drink. That burger was SO GOOD!!! It had pulled pork, pineapple, a juicy patty, Swiss cheese, tomato, red onions, lettuce, and a pickle. All this with a yummy teriyaki sauce in it. I was also surprised by the little ball of dough pinned on top. I couldn't tell what it was, but it tasted like a hush puppy perhaps? It was delicious. This burger was truly exceptional. The lady who brought out my burger even returned twice to check how everything was and if I needed anything. Not only did I have an excellent experience, but I also felt taken care of. I imagine this is what southern hospitality feels like even if this place is located in Northern California. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend! read more

Burger was great. Flavorful and large. Had the garlic fries. We will be going back.

Great burgers at good prices. I tried a couple different ones. The bbq one was probably my favorite. The fries are also very delicious. Bread pudding a bit of a let down. Seems like store bought packets are used. This place has a western feel to it. There's animal skin on the walls for decor. It's a walk up to order type of situation but the staff came around and asked if everything was good. All employees were super friendly. read more

I was looking for a delicious burger and the Big kahuna burger does not disappoint! It's probably the best burger I have had yet. Twice I have ordered the onion rings and twice they have tasted like old onion rings , cold and the onion itself is not existent within the breading, the fried zucchini is absolutely delicious, and the macaroni and cheese is nothing special- tastes just like the single servings you can buy at supermarkets and pop in the microwave. I'm going back just for the burgers. read more

Another great meal for a great value. Definitely recommend. My son had the tumble weed and I had the blue collar. Both tasty and hot. Fries needed to be sent back as they were cold. Beer was good. Therapist was spot on but would appreciate more variety with better local hazy IPA options. All in all a good meal. read more

Best burgers in town. Fast and friendly service. Burgers are a good size and delicious! The sweet potato fries are bomb!

I really wanted to love this place as the decor especially on the porch part of the restaurant is so cute and Olivia at the register was so sweet, which are the only reasons for the stars but the food was not good to me. They were all out of the banana pudding by 2:00 so I was pretty disappointed about that but maybe that was for the best as I'm not sure I would've even liked it.. The smash burger didn't have any flavor, it almost tasted like boiled patties like the one in sonic's $6 smash meal.. I couldn't eat the burger after one bite so my husband ate it. I went ahead and ordered chicken strips with a side of mac n cheese since I didn't like the burger but it was not edible. The chicken was hard as a rock and barely had any chicken it was just breading and the mac n cheese had no flavor whatsoever, I added salt and it still didn't help.. We even considered returning the food for a refund but Olivia was so sweet so we didn't want to put her through that.. we just decided to take the loss. We didn't even eat it, we just boxed it up and took it with us to throw away. Is everyone okay? I really don't understand the hype.. unfortunately the food was not it so we won't be back. read more

Oh my goodness everything on the menu looked amazing. It's always great to go out to eat with a friend because you get to try multiple things a split them! We went with the mac and cheese burger, the mango habanero salad, side of linguica baked beans and side of mac n cheese. Not 1 complaint out of me at all. The burger was perfectly cooked, the salad man, that was my favorite part of the meal, I think however, a scoop of beans and a scoop of mac n cheese was making my mouth very happy. Pepsi products, brewed tea but not sweet, just the pink packets and regular sugar. Would have taken it up a notch if they had sweet tea but definitely a place to come to. read more

Service was good, cool looking place, but food was disappointing. Let's start with the good. Despite a long line for dinner they moved through the line at a decent pace and did a good job of getting food out. Place is nice casual hang out spot with plenty of room. The bad, burgers looked delicious...however they were way over cooked. As a burger place I expected a lot more and maybe should of asked for the burger to be cooked a particular way, or at very minimum ask how we want it done or warn. Even pulled pork in Big Kahunna and Bacon in tumbleweed was dry and chewy. Almost like they used left over or forgot about it cooking. Really wanted to love it and was just disappointed. Fries were fine, but idk what that ranch with it was...super thick and didn't care for its taste. Still give it 4 because I can see potential, and maybe the sheer number of people made them mess up. Just ask them to watch how they cook. read more

Not sure why we waited so long to eat at Backwoods Burgers. This is definitely our new favorite place to eat. The food is excellent and so tasty. The onion rings are top notch and the garlic fries are good. Unfortunately, because of medical conditions we don't "eat out" and get our food to go, but have not been disappointed once we've gotten home and opened up our order. All the staff are so nice and welcoming and the wait time is minimal. We definitely recommend Backwoods Burgers! read more
