Backroads Burger & Bar - Plainfield (IL)

4 /5 Kathy Moreno: This local burger bar is constantly hopping! Reservations not required but if youre not willing to wait, call. We walked in and were quoted 20-25 minutes but luckily were sat within 2. Service was friendly and quick. Perhaps too quick, as our appetizer and burgers came out at the exact same time. Angry shrimp were tasty though not as spicy as I would expect for the name. Also the angry shrimp were not hot temp wise. We both ordered burgers medium, but mine was much more towards well than my husbands which was perfect. Still a tasty experience overall.

5 /5 Diana Milligan: We absolutely love this spot! It has a fun, laid‑back atmosphere, and both the restaurant and bar are always well staffed. The team here is incredibly welcoming and friendly — special shout‑out to Sharon, who has taken care of us several times and is always such a joy. The food is excellent, especially if you’re a burger fan. We had a fantastic time watching the Bears game here; the crowd was lively, and the raffles plus free buffet made the afternoon even better.

5 /5 carli cable: Absolutely love the bourbon Burger! The Crazy Crurds were absolutely delicious too!! We both had their sweet tea and it was fresh and delicious. They have more than just burgers as well! Even have kid friendly options! We had Shannon as our server and she was amazing!

The food is consistently great, with generous portions and solid flavors across the menu. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. A huge shoutout to our waitress, Alisha, who truly made the experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, always checking in without being overbearing and making sure everything was perfect. Her positive attitude and great service really stood out and made us feel taken care of!
