Backstreet Restaurant, Inc.

This was my first time here. The food is fresh and tastes great. The outdoor eating area is so cutely. There are fun planters & decorations that I now want to do at my house. Plus they have the house to eat in with the added bonus of a little book nook where you can trade books. I can't wait to come back with my other friends.

Over 30 years ago I worked on the street behind this restaurant. The employees had lunch here about once a week. It was always so good and it still is. We have since moved out of state, but came to Lake Arrowhead for a week for vacation. My mom and I drove an hour just to have lunch here. The food is just as good as I remembered. I hope I don’t have to wait another 30 years to come back. Don’t pass this one up. If you like meat on your sandwich this place is a must. We love their turkey! Leave room for the banana cream pie

The sandwiches are excellent and the sides are plentiful and delicious! The setting is perfect for a Southern California lunch and the service was surprisingly fast and efficient. This place was packed the day we went and it is clearly a very popular meet up spot for friends, family and business associates. I will definitely visit again when I’m in town and I would strongly encourage you to do the same. If you enjoy a good sandwich, potato or pasta salad, and lots of great veggies and other sides, you definitely need to try Backstreet!

It's so appetizing. Had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again. This place has a good feel to it.

This place is sort of hidden, it's off of a quiet and not so well known street called Nelson. And the shop itself is somewhat tucked away and not easy to spot. But they have good food, nothing special, about their sandwiches, or at least I didnt get a "wow" factor from it. But their sandwiches aren't bad either. So be sure to do your best to find it, it's worth it in my opinion.

Their menu is small, which makes ordering easy. You order your sandwich by choosing the meat type, then bread type, then cheese type, then your side choice. They also have a condiments/mini salad bar with extra options that can be additional sides depending on how you look at it. The sandwiches are a bit over priced, but the condiments/mini salad bar makes up for it, just be sure to go back for seconds to get your money's worth.

The place is cozy, and I believe that's what sells this place. Being tucked away and hidden makes it somewhat private and or secluded, which is what many people like, from what I hear.

Their staff is nice and helpful. There are plenty of outdoor tables and chairs to sit at. Inside seating is limited.

I recommend going on a nice sunny day, to get a good feel for what this place has to offer. It's all about their atmosphere here, come enjoy a nice cozy place with lots of random wall decor and plants to look at while you enjoy good tasting food.
