The Back Burner Restaurant

We came here 9/12 for my birthday - I got the Oscar tenderloins. It was not good at all. Very plain tasting like it had no taste. The asparagus had a terrible after taste. The crab and shrimp cakes were great but that was it.

I ordered the Sea Bass and my husband ordered the half Lobster. We ended up trading meals because the Lobster was terrible. The little potatoes had no flavor. We had a dessert that was old and dry and tiny.
We could not hardly understand the waiter because he whispered when he talked. The price was absurd for what we had. Will definitely think twice before going back.

Disappointed in their Prime Rib. In my opinion, it appeared and tasted like a Pot Roast. Provided constructive feedback to the manager.

I took my mom here on Mother's Day. Unfortunately I was very disappoinperiod. The only thing that's keeping this establishment from getting a one was the waiter was very nice and accommodating. First of all, they gave us bread that was stale, cold and hard. Just imagine trying to put cold butter on cold bread? That is a complete disaster. For appetizers my mom and I ordered both the sausage gumbo and it was completely cold. We had to tell the waiter to reheat the food to warm it up and also it was completely bland. For the entree I ordered two things on the menu. I ordered the prime rib and also the pork belly shrimp and grits. Both were cold, bland and no seasoning. My mom ordered the grouper fish and she was only given one small piece of fish with a small portion of potatoes. Even the drinks that we ordered wasn't good.I ordered a peach Bellini and it was okay but I wasn't impressed. Overall the waiter said the food is usually good during the week but I guess today was a bad day. I did give the waiter a good tip because it wasn't his fault and he tried his best. The food just was cold and lack seasoning.It just seemed like there wasn't any passion.

Absolutely amazing!!! Family of 5 celebrated mothers day dinner early. We all enjoyed our meals. The linguini pescatore was the best I've ever had. The sauce was light and packed full of fish and seafood. The portions were large. The service was incredible. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed the cocktails and baked brie appetizer. We ordered the prime rib special as well as the shrimp and grits entree both were underwhelming in flavor. Triple chocolate cake was okay. Service was attentive and on point.

My wife and I were looking for a wonderful evening which was immediately stopped by our experience at the backburner. Had a terrible experience last night, waitress was beyond rude and the food was awful. My redfish was so tough that that I had trouble cutting with a knife. We asked for assistance to make this right and was told there was nothing they could do. I’m sorry but you could have a least offered us something different. No refills on drinks, food was terrible, without a doubt not the standard that I have experience here in the past. As much I think Macon totally needs this place it’s sad that the owner its taking its name and placing on its customers. I’m sorry but we shouldn’t be on the backburner.
