Another fantastic visit to the backstreet restaurant, once again the food was amazing as was the service, cocktails were once again really good, Pina coladas best I have ever had.... read more Keep on doing what you are doing. A must place to visit in Dumfries

  Came here in December for a family meal. My daughter and husband had the Turkey which the described as being full of flavour with the best pigs in blankets they’ve... read more ever had. I had the salmon which was excellent. My husband had the trifle for pudding which looked absolutely delicious.

We also had an espresso and pornstar martini. The pornstar is my new favourite cocktail and my daughter said the espresso martini was amazing, so amazing she ordered two more.

This was another amazing meal had with family!

  We recently visited for the Wednesday Steak Night deal which is a sharing steak for 2 including a bottle of wine (which we took home instead of drinking on the... read more night). My husband had the starter of Kentucky Fried Partridge which was absolutely delicious. We then had the sharing steak. Cooked perfectly. Our 2 and 4 year old were with us also and they have an excellent kids menu that is all home made. Service, atmosphere and food all top notch! Will be back

  Decent, welcoming and friendly, great staff and good food. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area or reside there.

I’d definitely head back and I’d recommend... read more the steak dishes.

  Enjoyed a wonderful meal with the family. The restaurant is taking great steps to keep everyone safe in these difficult times.
I had the haggis scotch egg and was blown... read more away by how perfectly cooked it was. The yolk was a beautiful dark orange that ran with just the right viscosity. Had to get the lamb again because it was just absolutely sublime.
Very excited to see what the new menu will be like!

  We dined here twice last week and can heartily recommend it for food quality, service and ambience. The food was cooked with a level of care and expertise normally found... read more in more expensive restaurants, using high quality ingredients. The waitresses were friendly and attentive and the bill was more than reasonable. If you're looking for somewhere to dine in the area, you need look no further.

  I came along as part of a retirement night out. We were able to book the entire restaurant for ourselves which was fantastic. Great meal, great service, all reasonably priced.... read more There was even a dance floor set up for us to party!!
Highly recommended.

  Have been twice now with my partner and will definitely be back another time. First visit was for dinner and we both enjoyed it, while we recently went for Sunday... read more lunch. My portion of mussels and clams was fantastic and my partner enjoyed her Sunday roast - even if I did steal her cauliflower cheese.

  Well, what can I say? I have just joined trip advisor just to leave a review on how much I enjoyed my meal last night! it’s the best tasting meal... read more I have ever had, and I have been having meals for quite a few decades now! The staff were excellent and the cocktails were absolutely superb. It was great to meet the owner to add that personal touch but by far the best thing about the whole experience was the quality of the food, it was sublime! We got stuck into the tapas menu and it was a great choice, what a selection of cracking dishes. It was just me and the wife down for a night away from the kids but were now looking at houses so we can eat there every week.

All joking aside it was the best meal we have had as couple in over twenty years of marital bliss and cannot stress how much we loved it!

  Went to the back street for my birthday. Was great! Great service, great food, can’t complain! Quite large portions. Struggled to finish a starter and Main. Scotch egg, chicken Kiev,... read more chunky chips and macaroni all excellent! Would highly recommend!

  Great place with delicious food, I had the sea bass followed by the chocolate fondant. LOVELY cocktails and great service, a real treat for Dumfries!

  I am in town for a family event and wanted to take my mom somewhere special. So glad we went here. My mom is in the catering business and is... read more very picky and holds back on compliments normally. Well she throughly enjoyed the meal and the service. She complimented them about the quality of the food and the great friendly service. She even asked the chef to come out so she could compliment him. I have never seen my mom so impressed, and she goes out often.

The lady who was serving us owns the place along with her husband, who was the chef. We wish them all the best. The service was incredible. They were attentive to our needs and always smiling.

Do not leave Dumfries without trying this place

  Great food, brilliant service and the chefs were happy to accommodate special request for a part of a dessert ???? my friend Helen and I loved our visit. There was... read more a lovely buzz as it was busy even early in the evening. Lesley really looked after us. If you can visit you should. ????

  Another tasty and well portioned meal at the Back Street. Thank you for the lovely birthday surprise, was very much appreciated.
We were so pleased with the Covid measures... read more put in place too. There was hand gel upon arrival, when seating and by the toilets. The waitress also washed her hands before and after taking orders, making drinks and delivering food. Some tables are ‘closed’ which easily leaves a 2m radius amongst seated tables.

  I eat here regularly . It is always excellent. The 5 course Italian taster menu has just added an extra level of quality. Each course was wonderful with subtle flavours... read more all freshly made. The crab raviolo was exceptional. A most enjoyable evening of excellent food and service.
I will book in for it again and am looking forward to when he chooses another theme in 5 weeks. 5 stars for 5 at William's as good as 6 at Nico's
