Backstreets Bar and Grill

Atmosphere is interesting -- old train station. Artisan cheese and wines for sale in front.Or waitress was excellent, very attentive.Food was okay. My friend's BBQ ribs were dry, but she said the BBQ meat underneath was good. I had a smoked cheese burger, which was also somewhat dry. I'm hold have used more aioli.

Oh not sure if the staff was having a bad day today, but unfortunately my husband and I did not have the best food at Backstreets at the Hickory location.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.

I came across this restaurant thanks to a co-worker who gifted me a gift card for the holidays. The food was delicious! I have tried the Hickory Wrap & loaded nachos. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is chill. Next time will be trying the wings- I hear they are the best in town!

We had a pleasant experience. It was pretty crowded and we had a 10 minute wait which was not bad at all. Our waitress, Mikayla, was very nice and calming. I started with the soup and salad. They had multiple soup options from which to choose. The soup was pretty good but could've used a little more seasoning. The salad was fresh and crisp. I adore the sweet potatoes fries. The burger was slightly overcooked and I had to add ketchup. Overall, it was a decent experience. Parking is ample in the parking lot outside which is shared with Lowe's grocery store. It was recommended by a family member after we visited Hickory Furniture Mart.

Highly recommend!!! My husband and I spent the weekend in Hickory to celebrate my birthday. We went to dinner at Backstreets on Saturday night and it was everything I hoped for! We went for a late dinner and arrived just before the kitchen was to close, I felt so bad about that! The staff was super nice about it and we ordered quickly. The steak fajita wrap was the absolute best steak fajita wrap ever! There were both red and green peppers and they were cooked perfectly. The tortilla was fresh and flavorful. The steak was Chef's Kiss! Their sweet potato waffle fries were amazing too. My husband ordered their bison burger and truffle fries and went on and on about how great both were. We loved our server. She was super friendly and welcoming. She was cleaning her section before we left and we were beyond impressed with how thoroughly she was cleaning. Next time we are in Hickory we will definitely eat here! Everything on the menu sounded so good and I want to try everything!

Stopped in while meeting friends in hickory on a Sunday afternoon. They were busy but service was fast and everything was delicious.

The food was amazing! I ordered the Rueben. Good portions for the price. Plenty of leftovers. The atmosphere was very relaxed but in a good way. Staff were attentive but not overbearing, which was nice.

My family member invited me to join them for lunch at Backstreets. Despite growing up here, I never knew this restaurant existed until now! I was hesitant at first to try it out because they didn't have many vegan options. Actually, the only Vegan item I really found was the Asian Kale Salad. Needless to say, I'm happy I did decide to go because that salad was fabulous! It was very large and the flavors in the salad played a tune on my taste buds! Bouncing back and forth between sweet, savory, crunchy, and a hint of spice from the sriracha on the sides... It was the perfect balance for a perfect salad! My husband got the chicken fajita wrap, and he really really enjoyed it. He said it was one of the best wraps he's had in a long time. My son who is a picky eater REALLY liked his burger, but wasn't a big fan of the Macaroni and cheese. My husband was though, so take his word for it tasting fresh and made from scratch! My family chimed in and said the grilled chicken is perfection, that's why they enjoy it as the protein on their salads. We came around lunch time on a week day, and there WAS a wait, but we waited around 10 minutes before we were seated, so that's not too bad. Once seated and we placed our orders, our food didn't take very long at all to arrive at the table. The waitresses were very accommodating! If it came to a chain restaurant or Backstreets, I'd definitely choose this place any time. I hope to see that they add more vegetarian and vegan options to their menu soon! If so, I'd become a regular myself! Dishes are around $10-$15 per person depending on what you order. It isn't exactly a one cash sign establishment, but in this case, it's a good price to pay if you're looking for a flavorful dish. On top of that, you're supporting a small business with a ton of culinary talent! I'd hate for anyone to miss out on that!

The Chicken salad surprise in the French bread bowl is awesome. Good French onion soup. The Bloody Mary is delicious! Very friendly bar tenders.
