Girls annual fall trip for shopping and lunch found me at a new restaurant. The Backstrap has been…read morehere awhile but we have always drove past thinking it was more of a market. The ladies highly recommend so here I am. Ample parking and easy to read signage from the road, they are handicapped accessible. We sat at the bar with our backs to the door. Atmosphere is rustic with two seating areas, one for larger parties. Drink specials menu came with regular menu and specials. I ordered the House Margarita with Blueberry. The ladies had seltzer and a beer. We ordered the Smash burger, the Roast Beef melt, and the Ramen. There was a chalk board hanging on the wall which had the meat and fish options for sale! So they do sell meats and fish but are more of a restaurant! Got it! The food came out in a timely fashion and looked great! The Ramen especially looked delightful! My Roast Beef melt was good. A bit greasy but that's to be expected with melts, cucumber salad was delicious, the fries were crispy and tasty. Smash burger was Huge and very delicious or so I was told. Bartender was wonderful making sure we had what we needed as well as providing drinks for the wait staff. Everyone was having a nice meal on a rainy Saturday in September. I definitely will be back with my husband when we drive over from Rangeley. May even grab some Game sausages.

Talk about an epic sandwich!! Holy crap it was good. May have been the best corned beef I have ever had! I could go on and on about the fries as well! Yum! I got the crispy Korean style wings. I forget the actual name, that might have been it, but I do remember how much I loved them. Crunchy, sweet, spicy, sticky, goodness!! If I even get within a hundred miles of this place, you better believe I will be right back at this bar! I love you State Lunch! '26 - 9

We were seated right away, but it did take about 10 mi uses for the server to come over. There was only 1 other table with guests when we arrived It is a nice cozy place inside. We ordered 2 apps, the Edamame and wings. I asked a few times of the wings were breaded, but the server just didn't understand what I was asking. The wings came out breaded, so I had to take it off. They were crazy hot which was good. I ordered the Kimbop and a spicy tuna roll. Both had a ton of rice and hardly any steak (kimbop) and tuna. Very disappointed I could have just ordered rice.

While the ambience is fine for most, I'm simply not overly fond of the industrial look when eating upscale. My locally brewed beer was very pleasing & my wife's cosmo was perfectly made.

A small bar as you enter that was full when we came in. We sat at a small table in the bar area. Everyone was very nice and our waitress was attentive enough - but she seemed a bit busy. But all was fine service wise. So....the food. It's weird. Like trying too hard to be different but just didn't hit the mark for me. I see bread on a menu and I get excited! So immediately I ordered the Parmesan bread with dill pickle butter. The bread was warm and I enjoyed it but the butter with dill pickle just didn't work for me. Lots of other things to me could have complemented the bread better. Then we order the lettuce wraps, they were ok. My friend ordered the duck and I tried it and we both really liked it! The vegetables were good! My sirloin....the steak itself was good despite being a tad overcooked for medium rare. Something on the plate had a curry flavor - it just didn't all go together well. Then the lemon ricotta cheesecake....we didn't taste any lemon, it was thick and weirdly dry for a cheesecake. It also had freeze dried something on top....we actually weren't sure what. Some bright spots - the food quality! You can tell that these are top notch high quality ingredients, and the cocktails! They were yummy! I just don't like the weird combos and what (to me) feels like being weird for the sake of being different versus just being good. Since I only come up here a few times a season I likely will go to our other favorites or try new spots.
