The food is on another level, the OHB taps are always solid, and the bar staff (Debbie still the best) actually know their craft. Highly recommend.

Yes, this is the spot where Mick Jagger popped in when the Rolling Stones tour passed through Charlotte and he was either not recognized or people truly didn't care. Parking is a serious PITA.

Also the place is kind of big and they also have a stage for the live bands. The bands that played that day were pretty rad I think all of them were local bands. I think it's great that this place supports local bands. I really like that they had collection of skateboards on wall. Addtionally I would've given this place a 5 star but they don't serve mixed drinks only beer which is a bummer for me. So I didn't get to drink because of that and also one of the reasons we left. They also had a cover charge which was at a decent price. Furthermore if y'all are looking for chill place I recommend trying this place out.

For food, I ordered the fried pork chops with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes (gravy on the side). While fried pork chops were tasty and well seasoned, the mashed potatoes had the perfect texture but lack any seasoning. Very very plain. Mac n cheese was a hard pass. I ate one noodle and quickly pushed the whole bowl to the side. I also had a margarita, usually a pretty easy drink to make. This one had a bit too much sour mix. My husband had the ribs with mashed sweet potatoes and parmesan French fries. The sweet potatoes and ribs were tasty but fries were a pass. Our server was very sweet and attentive. Overall, it was a mixed experience. Some parts were really good, others not so much. But don't let this review deter you from trying Backstreets as we love the Columbia location.

When I explained that I booked an upgraded SUV, I was told that this was the upgraded vehicle until I showed them staff member of the reservation and only then did they "realize" that this was not what I paid for. Classic bait and switch Kevin, the manager was completely inappropriate while my parents were present, listening to our private conversation and after waiting 30 minutes to rent, the vehicle decided that he was not going to complete the transaction for us. I will be calling corporate and disputing the charge. If I could give this location zero stars, I would. Horrible experience.
