MoonLitCornerFirst time there, & it was a great little place to have lunch. Rustic feel without being too rustic. Nanalyn was our server & she was amazing! Very friendly & accommodating. Planning on stopping in next year on our annual visit to the area.

Carrie4 stars. Overall, we had a pretty good experience at The Back Door Bar. My chicken bacon ranch wrap was decent, and my kid enjoyed the chicken tenders. Instead of regular fries they serve potato wedges, which were actually pretty good too. The burger was a little on the greasy side and could’ve used more flavor, but it wasn’t terrible. The biggest confusion was figuring out where to go when we arrived. There’s both the Front Door Diner and Back Door Bar, and even though the diner window said “dinner,” when we got there a little after 4 we were told the Front Door section was closed and were seated in the Back Door Bar area instead. Other than the confusing setup, the food and experience were solid overall.

Jessica BrandWe all got pizza and crispy hot wings here and it was amazing. The servic was very good as well. We also just happened to meet some super friendly awesome people here next to our table and stayed for drinks and a game of pool. I highly recommend it if in town and wanting pizza and wings.

Stephanie TallmanHello! We are staying at the Old Forge Campground and came in for St. Pattys day looking for a Reuben pizza. They did not let us down! Although it is not on the menu, they accommodated us and made one, and it was delicious! It was so good that we would like to order two more on Saturday to bring back to Syracuse. All the ingredients were perfectly blended with the corned beef cooked to perfection. I’m picky on crust and so is my friend, and the crust was delicious as well. The chicken corn chowder was also amazing! All the staff was so friendly and the cook took the time to chat with us so we could get what we were looking for. It’s one of our favorite places to eat at while we’re here!
