Went for wings night, and they changed the wings. I had the scorching hot, and they were really good. Our table shared appetizers, so we had a little of a lot, and it was all good. If you are visiting Hay River, stop in and check out the Back Eddy. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Definitely the nicest atmosphere of the restaurants in Hay River. Service was good, and fairly efficient. The food was decent, the fish tacos were pretty good and my friends burger was too. Prices were high but I think that's to be expected given the area. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $40–50 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Had a spicy burger which was typical pub food, but the stand out was the real hamburger patty, not food service food which was nice. Had onion rings which were just barely cooked which was too bad because there had that really good breading, just needed another two minutes in the deep fryer Considering we walked in with 8 people in our party at lunch, I was impressed how quickly things came out. The bathrooms have been recently renovated are palatial, unlike the bar proper which has a 1980's nautical theme. Overall good food, great service.
