Stopped in for breakfast. Cafe was clean and basic .Super busy due to Memorial weekend. We expected a delay in service but we didn't expect the waitress - short dark hair name may have been Marcy - to stomp around grumbling and calling people rude. She was barking every minute we were there and she wasn't even our waitress. Very unhappy person. Kitchen did great keeping up and the food was good but there was too much chaos caused by "Marcy" to enjoy our meal. She needs to hush up. Keep her thoughts to herself.

The restaurant serves excellent breakfast and lunch. Staff is warm and friendly. Prices are reasonable. Loved this place for steady and tasty home cooked meals. The gun shop is a convenient store fully equipped with fish gear and bait, snack shop, drinks. It should be referred to as more than just gun shop. Loved this place.

This community diner is awesome, particularly for breakfast. Great people, ample servings and that home town feel. Backus isn't a metropolis, and we love taking a break from cooking for a great meal at reasonable prices.

November 12 2019 Stopped in tonight for dinner (at 630pm), they close at 8, and the waitstaff was indifferent to more customers (they had one table of 5). We sat ourselves, and she came over with menus. She then said, "the cook isnt making anything on page 1 or 3, no dinners or any breakfast. (This is a "breakfast" all day cafe mind you.) Then I asked what IS she making? Basically just page 2, the lunches. So, if you are interested in lower quality food, unenthusiastic waitstaff and hit or miss menu items- this is the place for you. But if you resent spending 9$ for lunch items done mediocre- maybe a trip to the grocery store 3 minutes away is a better bet. :/ ... (items ordered: hamburger & fries $9, chicken strip basket $8, egg salad with chips $6, kids chicken nugget & fries $5, one coffee & one soda- bill was 35$)

This review for restaurant side only. Good food at extremely affordable prices. I had 2 slices of very thick, tender, and decently flavorful french toast for $5. Nothing over $10 on the menu. Coffee was good, straight ahead cuppa Joe. Caffeine dressed down in its "out in the woods diner" version. Not fancy, not expensive. Premises were clean & quiet for weekday breakfast conversation. Waitress was friendly and efficient, conscientiously keeping the coffee mugs topped up. They get bonus points for adverting hunting rifle optics on the cash register counter, which also proffered several calibers of ammo in case you needed some on your way out the door. These folks are another fine north woods high value eatery!!! So beat your way to Backus and breakfast at The Corner Store.

Today was an absolute nightmare, from a customer's point of view. They were overwhelmed with patrons, and one of their servers (Karen) fell yesterday and broke her leg. So they were exceedingly short staffed. The one and only server, Cassie, was an absolute GEM!!! She had four tables of groups. Our group was 19!! The table behind us was either eight or 12. In the main dining room, the usual Tuesday morning men's breakfast group was there, consisting of eight men. PLUS another table of 12 - 15. IN ADDITION - every single table in the place had as few as one and as many as four patrons. But Cassie was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! She worked her tail off! As did the cook(s) and dish washer. Our food was delicious. Everyone was pleased with the portion size, flavor, temperature and freshness. I wish that the manager/owner had paid better attention to the chaos going on in his restaurant. Taking quicker action to provide Cassie an additional hand or two sooner would have pleased everyone concerned. THAT girl deserves a raise!! She never complained and had a genuine, warm smile for each of her guests. Brava to her for maintaining grace under those circumstances!!
