Backwoods Steak House
About This Spot
Backwoods Steak House is a genuine slice of rural Georgia charm tucked away along the quiet stretch of Steadman Road in Tallapoosa. From the moment you arrive, there’s an unhurried rhythm that invites you to slow down, unwind, and savor more than just a meal. The warmth you feel here isn’t just from the wood-panelled walls or the soft, welcoming lighting—it’s in the way the team moves together, quietly knowledgeable and quietly proud of their craft.
The atmosphere strikes a rare balance between rustic comfort and attentive care. You might find yourself seated near a window overlooking sprawling farmland, where goats and emus wander gently, giving the place a pastoral backdrop that deepens the sense of escape. It’s a spot where the hum of conversation feels genuine and easy, the kind of place where neighbors might stop in for a familiar meal or visitors pause to appreciate the slower, simpler pleasures of the South.
Here, the menu is a reflection of its surroundings—hearty and unpretentious, yet crafted with a clear respect for quality and tradition. Whether it’s a perfectly grilled ribeye served alongside classic, buttery baked potatoes, or the distinctive local specialties like fried catfish or oysters, each dish carries a sense of place. The food invites lingering over shared plates, a casual conversation, and that satisfying feeling of having found a meal worth the journey.
Beyond the food itself, Backwoods Steak House is rooted in the kind of hospitality that stays with you. The staff’s ease and genuine friendliness create an experience that feels like a quiet celebration of community and good taste. It’s a place where the details matter—not in flashy ways, but in the honest, familiar touches that make a meal comfortable and memorable.
For those who crave a dining moment that’s both down-to-earth and quietly special, Backwoods Steak House offers a peaceful retreat from the everyday pace. It’s a place to slow down, enjoy authentic flavors, and feel welcomed into a corner of Georgia where the simple act of sharing a meal feels like a small but meaningful event.

We drove WAY too far to find this place, but we weren't disappointed. People were really nice and the food was good. They didn't take debit/credit cards, but had an ATM ID you did t have cash.

This place was amazing, best service I've had at a restaurant in years. They know what they're doing here! Food was great, the ride out there is beautiful, the place was clean and the people were very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a romantic evening, loves rural areas etc... You wont find better service, prices or location than this. I will be going back as often as possible.

This place is GREAT. The friendliest staff that not only treat customer great & are very welcoming, but they work together so good. The salad bar was excellent, & the steak & baked potato was perfect. Cooked just like I ordered it with no steak sauce needed (although it was offered). Backwoods beats any of the chain steakhouse hands down. DEFINITELY worth veering off the beaten path for.

We’ve lived close to the Backwoods Steakhouse for years and have heard wonderful reviews, so we made a visit. It surpassed our expectations!! We loved the view from the rear seating and saw Goats, Emu’s, and Highlands enjoying their day against a beautiful farm backdrop. The service and food were TOP NOTCH! I’m not even exaggerating to say it was the best steak I’ve ever eaten. We’ve already made a second visit and it was equally impressive. It’s a new favorite date night locale for us. Highly recommended.
