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.

  We ate at the Back Street midweek getting a break from the kids and it was fantastic. Really efficient, attentive service and the food was probably some of the best... read more I've had in Dumfries. The strawberry daiquiri as well was delicious. My husband ordered the back street stack burger which came with a fried chicken fillet, seriously they should consider selling that alone as a dish in mini fillet form because it was just sublime.

Will definitely be back for a visit again soon.
