    I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Backstage and a time was had! The vibe, the food, the servers, the DJ, the photographer, the list goes on...all of it was everything! The best part was the dance floor; it's hard to find one anymore and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We'll definitely be back!

    I had a wonderful experience at the restaurant, thanks to my server, Black! From the start, Black was friendly and attentive, making sure my needs were met without being intrusive. Black’s warm personality truly made my dining experience special. I highly recommend requesting Black if you visit!

    First time there and the vibe was amazing…no drama, no fighting , just good music, good drinks, and a whole vibe…Dez was an excellent waitress! Very professional and attentive…them honey lemon pepper wings 100/10. I wish we got a 20 pcs cuz that 10 pcs didn’t make it up the highway. Will definitely travel back up here just for this…highly recommend!

    I (@ThePopupJunction) recently designed a section for my client at Backstage and the guests had a blast. Considering I was working I opted not to drink but my food was delicious (fried catfish, shrimp, fries and a salad, pink lemonade). Thursday Karaoke nights are the best! Old school R&B, diverse age group, causal dress, good food options!
