Backstrap Bar and Grill 161 Main Street, Eustis, ME 04982

"Parking is limited but there is some in the back if you can figure out how it works... I guess you can't park straight, they recommend parking at a diagonal. The bartender made a customer go back out and re-park. Restaurant booths/seating needs to be updated but the bar area is updated and looks inviting. Not thrilled to hear MANY customers requested to have hooks under the bar area for purses but the owners don't care and have dismissed all requests to do so. Not cool because it is an inconvenience for women. We had a $17 nacho appetizer and a $14 chicken fritter appetizer. What an absolute disappointment! I am saying that kindly. The chicken fritters were not fritters at all but were told they were just double breaded tenders. The nachos looked and tasted like ball park nachos: round corn chips with zero flavor, Pace Picante salsa, canned jalepenos, the cheese tasted like Rico's gourmet nacho cheddar cheese sauce and the pulled pork was super dry with no BBQ sauce. These were appetizers and glad we skipped on entrees since these starters were a failure. Yes the bartender asked if all was good and I lied saying it was because I was too hungry to wait on something else. Service was friendly but bartender did eat in front of customers - not a recommended practice if you are trying to run a good business. I was anticipating a delicious meal because the name and logo looked amazing but it was a total let down. I would NOT recommend this place nor will I come back."

"Excellent food and service. After a long day on the trails, enjoyed everything from the apps to the dessert."

"$16 for 6 wings and 4 veggie slices? Outrageous. I mean, they were delicious but that just seems like a lot, in my opinion."

"One of the best places to eat in the area, hands down. Maine doesn't seem to have a lot of places that do a nice thin crust, and this was quite tasty. They gladly accommodated our request to make it extra crispy, too. We'll be back!"
