My favorite restaurant in Macon, GA. Seafood trio for main course, recommended. Crabcakes for appetizer recommended. Service is always great. And the restaurant itself is cozy and quiet. I highly recommend this place.

We celebrated a birthday at the Back Burner Restaurant. It was a great celebration. They made it a delightful evening. The food and presentation was off the charts. The Service was impeccable My highest recommendation without any reservations. Thank you to everyone for making a wonderful memorable celebration, that we will treasure forever. Sincerely, George

The ambiance is interesting to say the least as the restaurant is in an old house with tables on the original front porch. Check in desk is hidden around the front door and small tables are everywhere. The service was great and the food was excellent! My wife had the sirloin steak bites and I had the seafood trio! Definitely a do-over!

Charming small restaurant (bistro) with great service and food. Priced as a special meal, vs. everyday lunch or dinner, but service, food and ambience make the cost reasonable. I was traveling through for work and my only regret was my wife wasn't with me to enjoy a wonderful, romantic meal. But this was a really nice solo dinner surprise after a long workday and long drive from south Georgia.

So nice! Justin was our waiter and he was amazing! The food was perfect! We went there on our wedding anniversary and it couldn't have been better. Turned a special day into a spectacular evening. We will definitely return. We had the Lobster Bisque and Seared Scallops for appetizers. For our entrées, we had the grilled Salmon with lobster risotto and Cajun Grouper. Of course we had the caramel cake and the strawberry cake for dessert.

My partner and I adored this restaurant. The food was exquisite -- perfectly seasoned and accompanied. He was speechless at the short rib, and I was in heaven with the sea bass. Our cocktails -- a modified old fashioned and a gin-based drink -- were also fantastic. The strawberry cake tasted like home. The ambience, inside of an old house, was intimate and lovely. The service was excellent. We would have preferred just slightly slower pacing of meals, but otherwise, we cannot wait to return to this hidden gem.

My husband and I decided to have our Thursday night date here at The Back Burner, thanks to the awesome yelp reviews. We drove right past the parking lot and had to turn around to find it. When we pulled up, I was not sure if we were at the correct place,it looked like the outside of someone's house. When we walked in, we were greeted by a gregarious host whom we informed we had reservations. We were seated immediately in the dining room with the bar. The music was light, and the atmosphere had a quaint, cozy vintage feel. Our waiter was amicable and attentive. We both ordered drinks. I had a Peach Bellini while my husband had the Southern Baptist,both drinks were adequate. We shared the Pan Seared Scallops for an appetizer,they were cooked to perfection and came with an aioli and teriyaki glaze that paired perfectly. My husband and I both wanted to try several menu items, so we both went with the Seafood Trio. The Crab Cake was decent, I'm from Maryland, so it would not be fair for me to compare, but it was good for the area. The shrimp and seared grouper were cooked well, and the sauce was unique and flavorful. The sides were fresh and cooked appropriately. Our meal ended with a yummy slice of strawberry cake that we shared. The cake was moist, the icing was creamy not, too sweet, it tasted homemade. We enjoyed our food as well as the excellent service. If you are celebrating a special occasion or just want to impress someone with a nice upscale experience, this is the place to dine.
