Backstage Cafe - Kelso (WA)

5 /5 Kyle: Phenomenal experience, this place is a real hidden gem. I had the rabbit with mashed potatoes, they were unbelievably good. The mashed potatoes were surreal, not exaggerating. Big thank you to the two ladies working front of the house (and to the folks in the back of course!) as it was quite busy and they managed splendidly. I actually forgot my leftovers box and one of the employees chased me down the block to give it to me. Very sweet of her. It was an excellent experience, we will absolutely be back.

2 /5 Emma Ramey: I have never had a bad experience here, however today they were out of their risotto and fettuccine. No big deal, substitutions are available. My soda tasted weird, so I asked for a replacement. But then when my food came out there was something hidden under the cheese on top of my pasta. At first glance I thought it was a spider. In hindsight I am hoping it was just shrimp legs. But with the intentional plating of the shrimp, and the fact that they had no legs on them, I have to think that was placed there on purpose which makes me a bit uncomfortable. Sad to have had a poor experience here.

5 /5 Chris Cook: This incredible place is tucked away next to an old vintage theatre. Branded, i would assume, with the theatre in mind, but this place seriously stands on its own! The food, the old world vibe, and our host were perfect.

5 /5 Rene Lifestyle: My son-in-law and my daughter were here 8 months ago. They loved the food. So when my guy came into town to visit, it was recommended to come here for for good spaghetti. I had the Shrimp Pomodoro and he had spaghetti and meatballs. I loved the music, the decor, and Sarah and the young guy assisting her were just wonderful. I have lived in Longview just over 7 years. This has become my second favorite place.

4 /5 Michelle D: Second time eating here and it was another great experience. I really appreciate that they have their gluten free options clearly labeled. Last time I got the pizza and it was by far the best GF pizza Ive had. This time I had their spaghetti and meatballs and it was delicious! I could tell it was made with fresh ingredients. Our waitress was awesome, too.
