Very cozy atmosphere. Wife comes for the clam chowder and I for their hearty steaks. The bartender Dave brings charm and is entertaining just watching him work as he makes the guests feel welcomed. If you haven't been, come in and try it. If you have been, then you know what I'm talking about.

Perfect prime rib. I ordered the 12 Oz m.r. it came out 14 or 16 Oz. Wow! A perfect cocktail, dinner salad and even some clam chowder, my wife's. She realy liked the twice baked potatoe, just like her mom's potato supreme. I would have just preferred a baked not twice baked.my wife ordered coconut shrimp amd the filet 8 oz. Again looked bigger than that to me. The menu is simpel but balanced .The service spot on, super friendly people. Joane helped us, she was great. The atmosphere is 80s family steak house. Big over stuffed booths. Lots of reads and dark brown. I wish I hade this restaurant in my town.

The Backwoods Inn is a rustic steakhouse with the wonderful smell of mesquite in the air. One of the best things about the food is the flavor of the steaks come through without reliance on lots of salt or multiple additional seasonings. Maybe for some folks this is a negative, but not in our case. There is salt, pepper and steak sauces available to add to your food as you desire. Also, on the menu is a variety of seafood such as Halibut, shrimp, king crab legs, lobster and others. If you prefer, chicken, ribs, pork chops and/or pasta. Lots of choices for members of your party. We ordered the filet mignon, the sirloin, the stuffed baked potato, (it was huge) veggies, salads and garlic bread. All the food was delicious. In addition, Backwoods makes several of their own salad dressings, such as the ranch, blue cheese, and thousand islands. The service was on point and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Yet another great small business right here in Santa Clarita that is definitely worth your patronage.

This was a first time back in many years. The staff is really great. Our server Anthony was awesome. We had one dish that not prepared as expected and he took care of it with no issues. Food is good and desserts were very tasty.

Backwoods Inn has been around since 1968, and somehow my wife and I had never made it in. We’ve lived in Santa Clarita for about 20 years and always heard about it, so we finally went to celebrate our dating anniversary (yes, we still do that even though we’re married). If you want an old school steakhouse vibe, this is it. Red leather booths, stained-glass style lamps, cozy lighting, vintage decor, and those classic “newspaper” tablecloths. It feels like a time capsule in the best way. Service was genuinely great, friendly, attentive, and paced perfectly for a celebratory dinner. Food quality was solid across the board. With each meal you get the classic steakhouse setup: soup or salad plus a twice-baked potato, and everything came out hot and exactly how we asked. They also have a handful of house wines that are surprisingly inexpensive and totally drinkable. You can obviously go pricier if you want, but it was nice having a simple, budget-friendly option that still worked with a steak dinner. Is it the best steak you’ll ever have? No. But that’s not the point here. It’s a dependable, classic steakhouse with a fun throwback atmosphere, great service, and a meal that feels like a complete dinner. All in all, I’m honestly not sure why I waited so long to try it. We’ll be back.

When you spend $39.00 on a ribeye, you expect that it will at least have salt . The first bite of a seasonless piece of meat was very disappointing. It was my birthday and I wasn’t paying and didn’t want to embarrass or upset the group so I kept my mouth shut and asked someone to pass the salt . The vegetables were overcooked.

Above Average food and Service but very inconvenient when ordering when you just want to pick up. They close at 9 but stop there pick up service at 7:30 . I tried to order at 8pm and said it was to late. It takes 8 to 16 minutes to make a steak, how can you not have time for your clients and profit for the business. Been there 20 times, Never Again! Their priority should be Customer Satisfaction not having the kitchen clean so they can go home at 9 when they close. The Italian restaurant down the street will take their business from now on.

We dined here last Saturday, unfortunately we did not enjoy it. It was our first time there we were so looking forward to it. The steaks had no flavor and our food was served like warm, the only positive side were the cocktails. When I mentioned this to our server , she didn't seem to care , or try and rectify my complaints. We were very disappointed with our experience there . I doubt we'll return , at those prices you expect better quality 😫😢😢

The staff is super friendly. The food was very underwhelming. The sake as good as it looked didnt have eny taste even after finding out you have tell them to season the stake because they dont season unless asked. The portions where small for the cost. We whent out of the way to go there and was a little disappointed. But the place is nice if you go to drink and listen to music.

My second visit to this location. Service staff is great and friendly. 5 stars. Atmosphere is old fashioned dinner. They quite old pictures which I love. History is amazing. The food is not so great. This place is known for their steak but the steak seem to be of low quality. Ordered a rare medium. They are supposed to be tender and juicy but unfortunately, mine had no taste and very dry for a top sirloin. Price was on the low side. Maybe is the reason for its dryness. No thank you

This place has been going downhill in my opinion for years now. I haven't been happy with it in a long time. We had a gift card that we had been saving up for a special occasion and when that time came we went to use the gift card at the restaurant and they told us that our gift card didn't work and we were left to pay out of pocket. It was extremely frustrating. We also placed a to-go order and we're told that we needed to order soon because the restaurant would not be taking orders anymore. It was 5:00 p.m. And the restaurant didn't close until 9:00. On top of that, they are afraid of seasoning at this restaurant. You literally have to ask for your steak to be seasoned, but the fries, onion rings and other dishes were generally lacking seasoning as well. The twice baked potato was good. Seems like a good cut of meat but other than that I would not go back for this food. It's way too expensive for what it is.
