6 years agoNice little bar, prices are good. The specials are even better. Most Fridays you can get a T-bone steak with potatoes and soup $14, Saturday is prime rib dinner for $14.

7 years agoThe bartender at backstop is friendly and welcoming, always read the crowd so your drink wasn't empty from paying attention to only regulars, definitely going back, didn't realize how good the food was, the bartender said if I didn't like it she would pay for it! I Liked It! Thank You Sarah!

3 years agoIt may not look like much from the outside, but they have a delicious new beer that they brew that is well worth the visit. The bartender was also very friendly. Great prices, clean place, and low-key atmosphere. Plus, free pool!
