great food at reasonable prices..the menu offered something a bit different which was nice..just lacking a bit in atmosphere ..we ate early evening and it wasnt full but it felt... read more as though all the hard work was being done in the kitchen and it needed something more front of house. that said we would return as this is something that could be improved..my husband loved the haggis scotch egg and chicken kiev and would highly recommend. food was very flavour some and well balanced..thankyou

  Have visited this restaurant on several occasions and have never been disappointed. The staff are very friendly and cant do enough for you. All hygiene is catered for, with sanitisers... read more at the door as you enter. The food is of very high standard and caters for all different tastes. It is well presented and very professional looking. Difficult to pick a favourite but the breaded brie, starter, is definitely a winner, along with the haggis scotch egg. The burgers are definitely recommended as well as the chicken Kiev/macaroni for the main and If you have room after those, try the chocolate brownie. The cocktails are just amazing, and can say, have had a few of them, LOL! Would definitely recommend you eat here as you are sure to NOT be disappointed.

  Visited the back street with friends . The food was pre ordered due to it being December and was very enjoyable However we waited nearly an hour for our main... read more course . The service was slow and it did not appear to be due to the fact the restaurant was busy . The staff were standing around talking to one another someone really needs to co ordinate front of house staff , to speed things up . Have visited this restaurant a few times now and the experience was much better .

  Visited the Back Street several times with my wife. It is now our 'go to' choice of all local restaurants. Menu changes regularly and have always been impressed with whatever... read more we have ordered. They also have a good selection of cocktails and wine. We are going back next week for the Steak Night which has proved to be an excellent meal and also excellent value for money on a previous visit.
Whether you fancy just a more refined dish from their menu or just a burger or a mac n cheese, you won't do much better than this place.

  We thoroughly enjoyed what will be our 4th or 5th visit to The Back Street. Christmas food which we had pre ordered prior to visit.

A little cheese and... read more onion biscuit as soon as we sat down was a delicious appetiser and start to the meal. 2 bottles of interesting red ordered and the starters arrived a few minutes later. All cooked fresh and all piping hot. Service was relaxed, not too fast, and the waiting staff were all super friendly and helpful. I hate feeling rushed when I’m out for dinner - plenty time to talk!

Too full for dessert but we got a wee Nutella donut and some Christmassy nougat which melted in the mouth.

Will be back in the new year!

  Recently visited with some friends on their steak night. The place is very welcoming and relaxed. Me and my friend opted for the steak night which does 2 people including... read more a bottle of wine and my other friend chose the chicken kiev. Everything was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We also had desserts, its the best brownie I’ve ever tasted. Hats off the the chefs! The staff were very attentive and nothing was a problem. We ordered some cocktails too and were delicious. All round excellent visit and I can’t wait to return.

  Really excellent. Lovely, laid back service. Well priced and delicious.

We felt really lucky to find them. As close to perfect as you'll find.

  The new menu is amazing! There is such a good variety of dishes on the menu. I had the chicken supreme and the chicken was cooked to perfection and the... read more curry sauce was to die for. For dessert the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake was the perfect way to end an excellently cooked meal. Staff were very friendly and welcoming.

  First time visiting here with our friends so we were looking forward to it.
Ordered our drinks when we arrived, then ordered our food, our starters arrived before our drinks,... read more food was really nice, ordered another drink which took a while to arrive & also was asked if we wanted to order another drink while waiting, missing a trick really as we would have bought more drinks if the service was quicker.
We did enjoy our night & the food was amazing, just need some organised bar staff.

  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 came here for my birthday dinner with family last... read more week and was, yet again, not disappointed. The food was perfect!
