This used to be my go-to place but I won't be returning. I was there over the weekend to find children that were probably 3-5 years old sitting at the bar - not a place for children. Our server cried becuase the owner was yelling at her for checking on food. The owner threw a burger at a cook for accidently over cooking it. Then when confronted the owner denied all allegations,called us names, and yelled at us- paid customers. Having worked in the restaurant industry for most of my life, this was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had. I will never return and will continue to let others know as well.

Loved this place, very sad at this news Just thought I should post this info as its very frustrating to find a great place & then find this out when you show up... hope they get new owners and reopen soon!! Their house lemon dressing was to die for!!

Extremely overpriced. This is a truck stop diner trying to be fancy. The only decent thing was the onion rings. We had a variety of different foods, mac and cheese tasted like it was powered cheese. I got scallops and haddock, thirty dollars for shriveled haddock and three scallops in a soggy mess. The squash was over seasoned, sliced up mush. The beans were pre frozen. Waitress was rude, seemed like we were an inconvenience to her. I won't ever go back. Terrible, don't waste your money!

Since I live out of town, it was my first visit since Paul bought the restaurant. I went to school with him. The staff was very friendly & helpful with the beer selection. The food came out piping hot & I was very satisfied with my meal. There was 5 of us & everyone enjoyed everything. I will definitely come back again!

Back Street Sanford was very accommodating when we called to make sure they could seat our party of seventeen. They were happy to seat us upstairs or downstairs at the time we chose. When we arrived, they willingly added another table and chairs as our party grew. The wait staff even gave us separate checks. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. My husband and I both had the chicken cordon bleu which was very good, served with garlic smashed potatoes and carrots. We were able to stay from about 6:30 to almost closing, as it was a Thursday evening, and not very busy. Back Street Sanford was the perfect gathering place for our family from out of town.

A nice restaurant, great service, and the food was delicious. Chicken Parmesan and Baked Haddock. First time there and we'll be back.

Staff great. Food mrrmp. Not so great. Had teriyaki prime rib,was not hot or good. Beer cold.
All around one of my favorite places to eat - small bites, big bites, great draft beer collection. Servers are friendly and fast. Check their website for entertainment, music, trivia... enjoy!

I came in for lunch today before I move out of town & just wanted to say that Peggy is absolutely AMAZING! She’s funny, sweet, quick & more than accommodating! These days it’s rare to find someone who truly loves what they do and from the second we walked in the door I could tell she loves it! Thank you Peggy! I’ll be sure to come visit when I come back to town to visit!

The food was horrible. The beer was flat, soda was flat. French fries weren’t cooked all the way, mashed potatoes were cold, green beans & meatloaf definitely frozen. The Caesar wrap had maybe 2 pieces of chicken & was DRENCHED in Caesar. The waitress/bartender upstairs was yelling across the lounge right by our table. It was a horrible experience. It’s too bad because they have a good looking menu, but the food was just awful.

This place has the coldest draft beers I’ve had in awhile. The people in the lounge are friendly as well as the staff. Jess and Ashley will be there to take care of you. Have fun! We did!Dietary restrictions: They serve some vegan dishes !

Even after reading a bunch of negative reviews, we decided to give this place a shot. We had a great meal! Even though they seemed really short staffed, our food arrived in a timely fashion and was hot and tasty. We'll be back to try different dishes!
