Backwoods BBQ

The food was amazing! Please forgive the picture because I didn't realize I would want to take one till I had already chomped a big bite of my pulled pork sandwich with slaw added. But It was SO good! I had the hash brown casserole as my side and I was equally impressed with it! I most definitely will be back. They have coke products in the fountain machine (including cherry coke) and delicious fresh sweet tea. They also have a range of desserts and I couldn't pass up trying the cheese pie. Absolutely 10/10 would recommend!

I had 2 pulled pork Bbq sandwiches and I thought they were really good. I will be back again.

Their pork ribs are okay but some parts are hard and the chopped pork is dry and chewy. Available bottle Beers not draft beers. I wouldn't come back here.

Flat out bad. Good is cold and service, there is none. Avoid it. Way better bbq in this town.

After posting a review on their Facebook page they pretty much called me a liar and want to argue with me.

Wonderful customer service and delicious food. The chicken falls off the bone and the hot sauce is just right. Be sure to get the hash brown casserole! I was eyeing some of their fresh homemade pies too, they look delicious!The sandwiches are the perfect size for kids and folks if you're not too hungry.

Backwoods was suggested to us by a family member while we were in Paducah for Christmas and wanting some bbq. Their special was written in chalk behind the counter and it sounded good so we ordered it only to be told that was actually last weeks special. Since the special was apparently not available we ordered bbq sandwiches and sides instead. The sides tasted fine, but they weren't very large. Overall the food was good, but maybe slightly overpriced for the amount we received. It was almost $20 for 2 sandwiches, 2 sides and 2 drinks.

I should have pulled up the reviews and avoided this place. Lady taking the order let me know their ribs constantly win awards in the region for being the best. Maybe this is because they don't venture out to any other competitions. The ribs were okay but nothing to brag about like she was. They make their own sauces but are only willing to give you one small container holding two tablespoons of runny sauce. Forget trying to sample them or have a variety. The vinegar based coleslaw should be thrown away and try should just buy a commercial made one as it would have to be better. Their baked beans are the commercial sized one gallon can type and they are adding a small 1/4 cup can of diced green chilies and just a little bit of brown sugar. So basically they have no baked bean taste. No onions, no bacon, no pieces of burnt ends. Just making them as cheaply as possible and hoping anyone who eats them will think it is better than hospital food. What a shame they seem to have no clue.

This is one of the worst restaurants in Paducah. There is no consistency at all. Depending upon the moodiness of their surly cook, you might get a decent amount of food, or end up with a to go box of gristle, skin & bones. I ordered a deboned chicken for $12 & didn't have enough actual meat in the box to make 2 sandwiches at home. I opened my to go box in the car, walked it back in to the restaurant, & was told, "Yep! That's a full chicken!" Maybe a Cornish game hen! But if you are bored, stick around & watch several of the family members argue with each other in the evening, teenagers running in & out behind the counter, & eating food & grabbing pieces of meat & food from behind the cooks line. Moms argue with daughters & the sh**show begins. Save your money & wait until BANDANA'S BBQ opens here. Now there's a BBQ restaurant that's extremely consistent & has a huge following, with about 20 locations in MO, several in Illinois & a few in IN & IA. They actually have beef brisket, which Backwoods BBQ doesn't offer on their menu. Bandana's is excellent.This restaurant is inconsistent, overpriced, & is like walking into a family feud in the evening. I will never go back.

All I can say is OH MY!!!! Fall off the bones ribs, amazing homemade sides and the desserts...WOW!!!! My husband and I both had the rib plate that came with two sides and a slice of bread. We both grabbed each bone slightly turned it and every single bone slid out with no meat attached, no mess, all meat and all delicious!! I had a slice of the lemon cake which was the best, most moist lemon cake I have ever had!!! Great service and friendly helpful staff. Amazing and absolutely worth a stop!!!!
