My son wanted to try the back burner restaurant out today. It had been year’s since we went last and the food was terrible. Now, under new ownership, all I can say is wow. The food and drinks were delicious and we sat on the back deck enjoying our meal and listening to the delightful sounds of singer, songwriter Carlos Olmeda. We will definitely be back as often as possible, cudos to Cody, Kara and their entire staff.

Remarkably fresh! Very good. Uncommonly good. Caprese flat bread was perfect, with sun dried tomatoes and reduced balsamic. Salad ingredients were all fresh…. Seemingly every ingredient was fresh cut. A really good experience. This place is doing something remarkable!

This was always on our list of places to stop, and I’m glad we finally did! The cheese sticks are great and homemade! The drinks were wonderful. The pulled pork sandwich was so good! The pulled pork is more like burnt ends and they are delicious! The bbq sauce is homemade too. The bbq platter is a true platter! You get pulled pork, bbq brisket, and ribs with beans, cornbread, and fries, for only $25! I highly recommend checking it out. They have great outdoor seating and the staff is so nice!

I thought this spot was pretty good.
Service is kinda sketchy- we felt bad/guilty about being there the whole time- but I know they’re popular and it’s hard to deal with tons of people!
The food was awesome. Great nachos, bf got steak tips, they had good beer on draft. Friendly patrons, actually good fresh jalapeños on the nachos- good.

What a find this place was. It is tucked away in a small town. Our food was amazing and they had live music. He was so good. Just made the experience so much better.

I had a great burger, portions were large, and staff was friendly. Very good food, the bacon wrapped stuffing balls were tasty!

this is my favorite restaurant, when I drive thru lower Maine … The service is so friendly and helpful, the food is great, so flavorful and fresh, especially the smoked meats like the brisket. I can’t even begin to compliment the desserts. U just have to see for yourself. I’ve been visiting here for the past couple of years and is still consistent every visit.

We went on a Friday night before 6pm and were seated in a reasonable amount of time but it went downhill from there, didn’t receive our meals until 7:30 and when it did arrive no Silverware, finally get the waitress attention and we received just forks, have to wait for the waitress again, excuse me but we also would like knifes please. The food was good but the portions were a bit small for the prices that they charge. Being the only game in town they must think they gotcha. All I can say is that we tried them and if something was going on for the service to be this bad they should have let us know, maybe this isn’t the norm but I won’t be going back anytime soon.

My boyfriend and I live and town and were very fond of back burner and became pretty regular customers at least once a month. We’ve been more into take-out recently so our last two visits have been take-out. The 1st one they failed to ring in our food so when we arrived we waited 20 minutes while they started cooking our food. Things happen, we moved on. Fast forward to our most recent order made 4/17/2025. Ordered two dinners, both the exact meals- simple. Was told to come 5 minutes before close. We show up at 7:55pm. We can see our boxes labeled with our name across the bar. Three employees including the bar tender asked if we needed service as we walked in
We said “yes, that’s my take-out I’d like to pay for it”. Unbelievably each employee just walked away without helping. At almost 15 minutes of standing there looking at our take-out boxes, the bartender said “we’re busy right now”. We then asked for the owner as the manager was just as rude and incompetent as his staff, so, we pointed to the owner sitting at the bar we called him over. The owner handed us our cold food, apologized for the wicked incompetence and pathetic service given from the staff and we were on our way. So unfortunate for a small business to lose loyal in-town customers due to lack of common sense and etiquette they should be providing.
0 stars.
