Reviews For Back Deck

We went there as part of an experience for a picnic to pick up some hummus they had ready for us but the weather was less than ideal to go for a picnic so we got a table and ate lunch there. The wait for a table was less than 10 minutes for a party of 2. We ended up ordering brunch items because they serve brunch until 3pm. The food is a bit pricey than a fast service lunch place but the food is great and our server was very friendly. I would definitely go back there.

Stumbled upon Back Deck after unsuccessfully getting a table at a few restaurants in the area. Ari provided great service and the food was good. I had a pleasant experience. Will come back again next time I visit Boston.

Amazing food and courteous staff full of smiles. Was walking down the road and saw the place completely full ( a good sign). Loved their Mexicali burger which was recommended by them in Burgers.

Was hungry for a steak and found the right place at the back deck, the strip steak was amazing and came with the proper accoutrements. If you like steak that tastes like steak, this is the place. If you are traveling alone like I was, I would highly recommend checking this place out over some of the pricier steak restaurants nearby.

Came here with my coworkers for lunch. Great, cozy space with good lighting and decoration. The food itself was very good American--loved the thick-cut fries especially. Will definitely come back!

So my review is really all to give praise to our server! Dominic was the sweetest. Part of our party was late and he was so accommodating and patient with us. Food selection could be wider and I feel like when I came years ago, it was the same. Overall Dominic was a dream, so personable, and was always checking in on us throughout our meal! Dominic, you were amazing. You truly made our night!

THE CURRIED MEATLOAF!!! Loved it! I mean, who says meatloaf has to be ordinary? The chutney rounded out this flavorful meatloaf and the sides were perfectly complimentary. My husband’s Thai Chicken Salad was delicious as well... I snuck a few bites. The waitress, Karen’s, recommended our choices and she was right. Highly recommended!

Stopped in for quick lunch & a cocktail - this spot was pretty busy for a Monday afternoon. I really enjoyed the spiked strawberry lemonade. For lunch, I had a smoked turkey club with thick potato wedge fries & it was delicious!
