Have always had great meals at the Back Burner. I had the pumpkin soup for the first time, in a long while, and it was delicious. You cannot go wrong by going there to eat, lunch and/or dinner. Extremely worthwhile to eat at Back Burner.

Met up with some friends for a late lunch and we had a great time. We all had the pumpkin mushroom soup (delicious!) and then ordered a bunch of appetizers - better cheddar, brussel sprouts and stuffed mushrooms - all were very shareable and excellent! Service was great. We'll definitely be back.

Always an outstanding time, especially Tuesday night with Burger Night $9 burgers!! Not sure how they do it, but tremendous value for a terrific burger. We've been coming here for lunch & dinner for many years and have never been disappointed.
