We were thrilled to see that the Backroads Grill was open for LUNCH last weekend. We have been there before, but just want to say, we were more than happy with the food, the service and believe more people need to know you are open, if only temporarily, for lunch. We'll be back soon and thanks again for the amazing taste bud delights.

What a little gem of a place... We had the pleasure of having one of the best meals in a very long time here. It was a spontaneous moment they are always the best. I remembered the reviews here and I remembered Janet from Wild River and always loved her. We happened to be childless that night...and decided to go. From the homemade sweet garlic salad dressing, to the warm french crusty bread served with cold real butter, to the perfectly cooked Steak...I was loving every bite. The food was fantastic as was the service...Thank you Alison...for a wonderful dinner. It is clear and evident the Chef takes pride in his work, not only was everything on our plates cooked to perfection, including the fresh veggies, our plates looked like masterpieces, complete with sculptures and a flower. A Big Thank you to Backroad Grill for a great dinner. :) Oh I wish I had room for that Chocolate warm fudge cake, but I couldn't do it...next time though...that and the Oriental Chicken Salad with the sweet garlic dressing which I can't get out of my head and have already tried to duplicate...

Opening night? Jammed to the hilt!! Had to wait about an hour, but was worth it. Delicious food as always, and a pleasure to see Janet and family, and many friends!!

Absolutely the BEST Filet in Southern Oregon!! It just melts in your mouth, and is always cooked to perfection. If you've never tried it, you must! One of our favorite items on the menu.
Bud and Janet Fletcher
Thank you for a terrific meal on July 13---a wonderful birthday dinner. Our waitperson, Helen, could not have been more attentive and friendly. Your cozy restaurant is as near perfection as one can get! We shall return many, many times! Janet
Does it get any better then this? No! Our favorite restaurant in the Grants Pass area.
Sue and Steve Halas
We are from New York visiting our friends in Grants Pass and they brought us to this quaint restaurant for dinner. We were impressed with the extensive menu selections and the presentation matched many of the upscale restaurants we have been to in all of our travels. The meals were excellent and the wine selection was impressive. Best of all was that the staff treated us like family. Overall a fantastic dining experience.
Linda and Jack Condon
Janet, it was so nice to visit with you and meet your family. BRG was our favorite place to eat when we lived in Merlin and still is when we pass through Josephine Co from Dallas, Oregon. I look forward to your info on the bed and breakfasts close by.

Spring is here and the BRG has reopened after their usual winter break. We tried one of the new additions to the menu - Yellow Finn Tuna and it was GREAT! Also, this year, now permanently on the menu - Apple Pie to die for!! Way to Go BRG!!!
Barb and Teresa
After a day of rock hounding this was a great place to stop for dessert. The chocolate cake is the best ever. Your place is absolutely perfect. We will plan an anniversary party for my parents here soon. We love the ambiance of the place especially the tree and bear on the wall. Thank you for your happy and kind service. Teresa
Linda and Richard Colton
Wow! I think we closed the restaurant down tonight!! So nice talking with you Janet! We've always had wonderful meals here, and make it a point to bring relatives and friends, like our neighbor, Janet, tonight. Phil was super as always - so much fun! Keep up the good work!!
Andrea & Craig Anderson
Congratulations to the entire crew at BRG! The September 2006 issue of our local paper - The Sneak Preview - recognized BRG as "Best Restaurant Outside Grants Pass". Here is what was printed: "Our readers didn't have any problem with this category, naming 25 different restaurants throughout southern Oregon and beyond. Taking down the number one spot for 2006 was the Backroad Grill in Merlin"...
John & Bonny Bunyan
It's not just the great food that keeps us coming back again and again and again. You make us feel so welcome. We love you guys.
Roger and Dayna Hankins
As good as any big city restaurant, and very reasonably priced. We love having a place like this nearby to take visitors to! Best chicken fried steak I've ever had.
Dave and Monica Waslin
We just tried this place for the first time, but definitely not the last!!!! We heard about this place from a friend of ours, Quinton. But, also I had heard of it on www.ILoveGrantsPass.com The food is awesome. We were pleased with the service and cleanliness of the resturant as well. The food was perfect! We now have a new favorite and will be back soon!!!! That chocolate cake dessert calls my name almost every day. :)
Dave and Jill Cook
This is the cleanest restaurant we have been in in Southern Oregon. The food presentation is creative and the meals are delicious. The personalized service is great too!! We highly recommend the Backroad Grill!!
Tammy Burleson
I have been eating at the BRG since they opened. Every year gets better and better. I remember when Jon waited tables and now he's the Chef, and an awesome one at that. Between the mouth watering food and friendly, gracious staff, you just can't find a better place to spend an evening!
Elmer & Jaci Jueden
