Josh's Backstreet Takeout

"Always fresh and delicious! The food is consistent and the staff are friendly. Think 'build your own rice bowl.' I like the rice salad with cheese chicken. You get a base of rice and fresh, crispy romaine lettuce topped with their marinated proteins."

"I have driven by this place many times and today I decided to stop. I looked the menu over and asked what their best seller was. I was told it was the Cheesy Chicken. The marinaded chicken was placed over a bed of rice and topped with cheddar cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, crunchy noodles and onions. It was very good!"

"I can't speak highly enough about Backstreet Takeout. The service is fantastic! The food taste just like the dishes from 25 years ago, when it was Bays Corner. Having to work the school day, I don't get to partake in the deliciousness as much as I'd like."

"One of my favorite places! I am plant based and the menu is accommodating to me. So tasty and the staff is so kind :)"

"First time coming here with my partner. Food was decent and at a great price for the portion size. Zero airflow in the building but I appreciate the box fan!"

"Melissa's is amazing! Love the food and people! Cheezy chicken over seasoned rice is my absolute fave! Also love the half salad. If the rice and beans is the special get that with Cheesy chicken, and you will thank me later."

"LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food is always amazing! And man the value of food to the price is unbeatable!! Especially during these times we are in!! And the staff are always so friendly! They go out of their way to make whatever you want."

"I normally don't write reviews, but I feel I have to because the other reviews left me with too high expectations. The staff were super friendly. The ambience is pleasant and bright. It's very cute. Also, the food is cheap. The marinated chicken tasted so strongly of salt and chicken stock that it was difficult to eat."

"Fast food that is healthy food! If you wonder why there is sometimes a line... Just look at the picture! And I asked for only half a plate serving!!"

"It is weird. I was expecting something that taste like Asian food and this doesn't. It doesn't taste bad, but it doesn't taste good either. Its an odd tasting gravy sauce with meat in it on top of rice with some additional toppings."

"Backstreet Takeout is hands down the best lunch spot in all of Jackson County and probably the entire Smokey Mountains. You know the place is good when the line is out the door and every nearly single customer is a regular and their order is memorized."

"LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!! Always such delicious, fresh food! They are quick, and super sweet! I love the cheesy shrimp and chicken with everything! The chocolate chip cookies are a must!!!! Such a great local dive!"

"We LOVE Josh's Backstreet Takeout! The food is amazing! Josh and Melissa have created a family atmosphere where they know your name and what you order! It is a bright spot in our day because of the great food and the friendly service."

"One of my long time favorite places! The food is delicious and all of the owners have passed it down to people they trust and they have kept the same vibes and wonderful food. This place is a treat and my favorite place in town. My kids love it too!"

"Highly recommend. They only take cash. I like being able to customize my food without a lot of fuss. There are lots of toppings and sauces available. My 'cheesy chicken' was delicious. Ample servings."
