Last Sunday while dining with a relative, I was made aware of a place called Backwoods Burgers…read morelocated 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.

I always drive by here and was curious to go! They have little lights outside of their building…read morewhich 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!!!

I was working in Oakdale today and not being familiar with the area, I turned to yelp to find a…read moreplace for lunch. The name of the business has "Classic Drive In", in the title. When I think Classic drive in, I think American Graffiti, or Sonic where they come out to your car. This isn't that! It is located on a corner with a small parking lot. Best way to describe the building is kind of like a Foster's Freeze where you park somewhere and walk up to the small hole-in-the-wall type building and place your order at a small window. This should not be a deterrent though. Some of the best places are hole in the walls. I was met by a friendly gentleman who took my order. I ordered the Mushroom and Swiss Ranch burger with a side of onion rings. No, the burger didn't have "ranch" on it. It took me a minute to realize that was a category of burger...like ranch style burger. It was a burger that the gentleman said, "you won't be picking it up to eat it. It is a knife and fork type of burger!" MAN, HE WASN'T KIDDING! When I picked up my order I was greeted by his wife who was even more friendly and inviting (if that is possible), than her husband. All-in-all, the burger was delicious, very nice toasted bun, loads of grilled mushrooms and red onions with a Chipotle Aioli sauce that gives it a little kick. The flavors blended well together. My only knock would be on the burger patty itself. It was a bit small. The flavor was there just not enough meat IMHO. For that I rate the burger 4/5 . The onion rings crispy on the outside and tender on the inside...the way they should be, 5/5 . Keep in mind I rate each establishment for the categories they are in. This is not a 5 star, high end restaurant. It is a classic hole in the wall, walk up to the window and order fast food category. Sometimes you just want a good burger, greasy fried food experience that tastes good. This place has that in spades...and it is delicious! I will be back.

5-Star Review - Wing It, Oakdale, CA…read more It's always bittersweet when a great local spot makes a big change, and that's exactly how I feel about Wing It moving back to a food truck. On one hand, I'm definitely going to miss the convenience and comfort of their brick-and-mortar location -- but on the other hand, I'm genuinely happy and relieved that they're not going out of business. The wings are just too good to lose! Their flavors are bold, creative, and always cooked to perfection. Whether you like them spicy, sweet, or somewhere in between, Wing It always delivers. You can tell they care about quality and consistency, and it shows in every bite. What really makes this place special, though, is the team. The staff has always been friendly, fast, and down-to-earth -- just good people putting love into what they do. So while it's a little sad to see the restaurant close its doors, I'm excited to see them keep pushing forward with the truck. I'll definitely be following wherever they roll to next, because Wing It is still one of the best spots in Oakdale for wings and good vibes.

Super clean. Brand new spot in Oakdale. It's Not just Wings…read more- They are so sneaky! They have burgers, pulled pork, and chicken sandwiches. They have mac n cheese and multiple flavors of awesome fries. There's a bar with various things on tap (I honestly didn't pay much attention) The TVs were playing all my hubby's favorite shows - the car auctions, American Ninja Warrior, and other sports/man shows. The bathroom was clean. The service was quick. The man working (sorry I didn't get the name) was pleasant and helpful with asking all my questions. The food was NOT salty - my opinion - as others mentioned previously. Subtract half a point because they have Coca-Cola products & I'm a Pepsi gal. I will give 1/4 of that same point back because they had Pibb as an option. The meat for the burger ....was so good We will definitely be back....this time to try the wings.

We ordered the asparagus and the Brussels sprouts as appetizers and split the New York steak. I'm giving a 5-star here because it's rare to find things up to this standard, but I have some points for improvement. The service was good, but my drink order was incorrect. Not a big deal or worth one less start. However, the ambiance is close but not quite. We had a reservation and, upon arrival, were seated between two full tables. One had two children who were loud and wiggly throughout our whole meal. (Nothing against children, they were totally appropriate for their age and very cute) But it would be nice if reservations had designated areas that were a bit farther away from the crunch of the walk-in crowd. Nothing we experienced took away from the great food, so the 5-star remains. Looking forward to another visit.

Food flavor, presentation, quality and price point 5/5…read moreService was adequate. 3/5. We came at 7pm and there was 8pm closing time so we were conscientious and had our order ready immediately. ALL the waitstaff and manager (I think- blue floral polo) were very focused on closure for the full hour. Unloading clean dishes, stocking the bar, a lot of watch checking. This is pretty off-putting when trying to enjoy food and feeling the pressure of closing time. No ongoing smiles or eye contact. Ambience: very cute, modern vibe. May need to look into some sound absorption material as there is quite loud reverberations from lively parties nearby. I also felt the employees were not very happy and I felt it was due to them being under extreme scrutiny of above-mentioned manager. Nobody smiled.

Impression: First time visiting this place. I have always…read moreheard great things about it. I have been to quite a few places in Oakdale but always just rolled by this spot. The inside is old school food place with photos of nostalgia of the country. Flow: You can call in and pick up for fast service or drop in and wait to be seated. It could be a long wait or it could be fast depending on the line. The service is fast though. They don't dilly dally and waste your time. If you are going to dine in you need to go to the counter and put your name in. Food: Leo Camarillo- You can order with pastrami, roast beef or both. (Not half and half) Lots of cheese and sautéed mushrooms. If you're not a mushroom fan just skip. This is so delicious I have been thinking about it ever since we got it. My wife doesn't like mushrooms and she still ate with the shrooms on. We ordered pastrami only. No ragrats! French Dip- My kids ate both halves and didn't even hook it up with a bite! It was juicy and the dip was perfect. Always add the cheese. The Italian- Loved the Italian. It had a lot of meats on it and the veggies were fresh. Topped with an Italian dressing. Salads- Pesto salad was my favorite. Excellent flavor. No heartburn. Spaghetti salad was the sleeper. Very unsuspecting. I thought it was going to be cold spaghetti sauce but it was tomato's and Italian dressing/seasoning. Potato salad was ok. We added pepper and salt. We ordered 3 sandwiches for 4 people and came home with an untouched half because there was so much food. Bill was less than $60 for all the food and the soft drinks. Will definitely be a frequent haunt now.
