Great Dinner Awesome service
Love this little hole in the wall restaurant. Perfect for a date night! Food was delicious, had the escargot and Brie. For dinner we had the mushroom ravioli special. The Moscato wine is to die for! Definitely a $$$ on the money board. We ordered three appetizers and one entree, a bottle of wine, and three double mixed drinks and our bill was $176
Food was spectacular!! Shrimp and Grits with pork belly was divine!
Husband and I celebrated our anniversary . Food was excellent as well as the service.
Very nice an very tasty! So excited to be there on lobster night and the Shrimp Mozzarella cakes were amazing! Thank you, Morgan, for being our server - great job!
OMG! This restaurant is definitely a place you should visit. From the quaint location to the amazing staff, you will not be disappointed. The food was cooked to perfection and the presentation was just as great. I look forward to my next visit. Trust me... you will leave in awe of this restaurant. AWESOME!!!
Never had a bad meal . The drinks are great . Love the mussel as appetizers. I have always enjoyed steak or paella here . I will highly recommend it
Our friends, another couple, asked us if we wanted to try this place and we definitely did after hearing such good things about the food here. He made reservations for a Thursday, which is Lobster Night. We had trouble finding it, even though the GPS took us there correctly, but the sign is at the bottom under other business names so we didn't see it before we passed it. Also the building is at the back, behind another larger one. But don't let the modest outside put you off; from the moment we were seated, this was an elegant and classy dinner. Our server Dustin confirmed that we had also made reservations for a lobster for each of us, although we didn't have to order one if we wanted something different. Our friends ordered a bottle of wine, which was served iced in its own bucket on a pedestal, and placed tableside. We were also brought chunks of bread with dishes of cold butter that were presented in such a way that I thought it was sliced cheese at first, LOL! For starters I had the Escargot de Bourgogne, which is snails in a garlic butter sauce, served with crostinis. Mark got the special, Coconut Encrusted Shrimp, and our friends shared the Pan-seared Scallops. Everything was outstanding. The shrimp were huge, the size of a large chicken wing, and it took three bites to eat just one. For our entrees, everybody but me had the Lobster Special which was served split, in the shell, and stuffed with Avocado Salad. They were humongous! The plates must have been 14 inches long and the claws were the size of my hand. The avocado salad was delicious, creamy yet crunchy from celery and cucumber. There was clarified butter on the side. I ordered the Spanish Paella which came in its own little paella pan, and had a baby lobster (a big baby), mussels, clams, shrimp, fish, sausage, sliced hard-boiled eggs, and lemon wedges, cooked with rice. It blew me away. Dessert was a Twelve-layer Caramel Cake with Caramel Sauce, and a Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cheesecake drizzled with Strawberry Preserves. Both decadent. My friend asked if they had Crème brûlée, but Dustin said if we call at least a day ahead, the chef can plan for it. We all had leftovers, which were packed up for us. We expected the bill to be high, but on Lobster Night it turned out to be about twice what we expected. It was well worth it, though, when you consider the overall experience. From the impeccable service from Dustin, to the size of the portions, the presentation of the dishes, and the perfectly-cooked meal, this is an occasion dinner, and definitely a place for a special night. If we'd had white napkins, we would have waved them in surrender, because they won us over for sure.
The first restaurant I saw off the interstate in Macon was Red Lobster, it didn’t look great from the outside and had 3.5 stars, so I googled restaurants close to me and Back Burner was 2 miles away. The service ( I think Dustin was the name of my waiter) was amazing, the ambience was 5 stars, and the food was incredible. I don’t spend any time in Macon, but I may drive back to eat here. It was that good. What an amazing stop! I had the Chilean Sea Bass and bread pudding and was very pleased.
Excellent food. Thanks Dustin for the prompt service. Scottish salmon and seafood trio were very tasty with nice rich sauces. The manager quickly provided information about a possible future event.
