Backroads Bar & Grill – Our Breakfast Experience & Full Review
Backroads Bar & Grill has become one of our favorite low-key spots for breakfast, and honestly… it’s mostly because of their breakfast burrito. That’s been my go-to order for a while now. The burrito is huge—packed with home-cooked potatoes, eggs, and whatever meat you choose. I always ask for salsa on the side, and this time the waitress brought it before I even asked. She just remembered.
I love that it’s not greasy, not bland—just that perfect “home cooked at someone’s grandma’s house” type flavor. I can never finish the whole thing, which works out because half of it reheats perfectly the next morning. This time I tried the chorizo burrito, and the added spice made it even better.
I also always get coffee with vanilla creamer (because I’m not a black-coffee person at all) and they brought out a whole bowl of creamers, which is my love language.
My husband ordered the Backroads Scramble, which is a mix of potatoes, onions, mushrooms, peppers, ham, sausage, bacon, and scrambled eggs. He always adds ketchup—don’t ask me why, it’s just his thing. His plate also came with toast, and he usually sticks with water since he watches his sugar.
We both love the food here. It’s simple, hearty, home-style cooking—exactly what breakfast is supposed to be.
⭐ Atmosphere & Family Friendliness
The atmosphere is relaxed and surprisingly quiet in the mornings. When we bring the kids, they can go play arcade games while we talk and drink coffee. It’s a lifesaver.
A few things that stand out:
Clean tables and surfaces
Clean bathrooms
Baby changing station
Highchairs and booster seats
Several TVs showing funny clips or light entertainment
It’s very family-friendly, but still works for adults who want a calm morning meal.
⭐ Service
The service has always been:
Friendly
Fast
Consistent
And somehow our waitress remembered us—even our little habits and preferences—even though I honestly didn’t think we’d been in enough for anyone to remember. Either she’s amazing, or we’re more predictable than we think.
⭐ Food + Extras
Our breakfast total was around $44, which fits the portions—everything is big and filling.
Backroads also has some cool extras people don’t realize:
You can reserve the entire building for school events or large gatherings.
You can reserve specific tables for birthdays or get-togethers.
You’re allowed to bring your own cake/dessert for celebrations.
They do to-go orders, which is nice since it’s right on your way home.
It’s right next to Bear Lake Park, so it’s perfect for grabbing lunch and having a picnic.
They offer lunch, dinner, and a full bar with basic mixed drink options.
⭐ Overall Review: 9/10
Backroads Bar & Grill is a comfortable, family-friendly breakfast spot with generous portions, great service, memorable staff, and a menu full of hearty classics. Easy to recommend for locals and families.
