Rude to customers. Dry meat. Look elsewhere for an enjoyable experience. You're not allowed to use outside picnic tables on stones in the parking lot unless you use a waitress - the same "waitress" who takes your order at the counter so you tip her whether she serves you or not! We tipped and were still rudely shooed away from our seats.

Backwoods was a great option for quality food and service, until recently. Delayed wait times for pick up, incorrect orders, and selling made ahead orders to the first taker. All unacceptable customer service. We will take our business elsewhere.

We ate there recently while visiting Lake Raystown. It's a smaller roadside bbq joint with limited indoor seating plus additional seating outside. Things were hit and miss. (+) The waitresses hustled the entire time as the restaurant was busy on a Sunday evening. (+/-) I got a three meat platter. My brisket was good flavor wise with a little bit of heat, but 1/3 of my dish was fat. The meat should have been trimmed better. (+) Pulled pork was nice. Good flavor and consistency. (-) Pulled chicken was not good. Poultry can pick up a lot of smoke quickly and this dish tasted of heavy acrid smoke. Not enjoyable. (-) side dish of Mac and cheese was bland. (-) They we're out of ribs. Dining choices in this area are limited. I'd return here again if I needed to but will need to be selective in what I picked.

Oh Boy!!!!!! After a day on the lake this just hit the spot. A full rack of barbecue ribs, a barbecue chicken sandwich and a beef brisket sandwich with a delicious lemon and apple pie for dessert. It's been a bit since the last time the wife and I were here and that was disappointing 'only' because they were sold out of ribs. NOT TODAY..... got my ribs, a fall off the bone delicious bundle of joy. They were good and that is a flat out understatement. The beef brisket sandwich cannot be beat either. The meat was tender melt in you mouth goodness with the barbecue chicken sandwich right there with it. This place knows how to cook barbecue style. I could go on but there are not enough ways to express how good the food is. The people here are pleasant and work hard to provide good service. Way better than past places have been that failed miserably. And let's not talk about the place in town. You know the place. Won't mention it here. Folks if you're in the area of Raystown Lake you got to stop by here. You won't regret it!Thanks, I think I need a nap now....

Love this place. Look forward to eating here every year when my son has his PICL (Pennsylvania interscholastic cycling league) event. I am sad because you are already closed for the season. Please look up PICL to see when we are here for mountain biking and be open next year. Pretty pretty please. I know I'm not alone. Many have been bummed that your not still open. Thanks.

We've been here many times and everything we try is fabulous! If I had to pick a favorite it would have to be the ribs with the smoked Mac & cheese....or the pulled pork with the smoked Mac & cheese. Did I mention the smoked Mac & cheese? I'm not even a fan of mac & cheese, but theirs is so good I make sure to get it as a side every time. This is a small family run business that makes each customer feel welcome. If you're in the Raystown Lake area I recommend stopping here for dinner.

Food was AMAZING! Brisket had great flavor and was so very moist. Pork was awesome and again had great flavor. Loved the broccoli salad too.
