   Excellent. Scotch egg is amazing. I had the burger for main which was very good other that the sauce was far, far too salty. Other than that first rate and definitely recommend.

   A great restaurant with really great food and a good choice of dishes on the menu. The staff were all brilliant, young, polite and very accommodating, they made our evening feel special. If l lived in this area l would eat here a lot and if you are in Dumfries l would recommend you to go to this restaurant.

   First visit to Back Street on a personal recommendation. The food and service were excellent and overall good value for money. Overall noise level was excessive for a relaxed dining experience but that was because of a single very large party who were happy and celebrating. Stepping out onto the street after eating was like leaving a rock concert - sudden silence and white noise in your head 😂

   First visit here as it’s very popular and sometimes difficult to get a table. I had the Lamb mixed grill which was outstanding and the lamb was cooked to perfection. Amazing service and cocktails were spot on! Couldn’t fault our visit and will definitely be back. Really enjoyed it, thank you.

    Would never have found this place, upstairs above a shop - had not been for the apps - but glad we did! The food was cracking - well cooked, big portions and served with a smile! The room is a bit odd and quite brightly lit - so not a romantic first date ambience - but it was half full and there was a pleasant buzz. The haggis & black pudding scotch egg is superb as is the whisky cured salmon as starters. My wife had a big sirloin - a bit well cooked for medium rare, but delicious none the less! And I had the lamb mixed grill (rump, chop, sausages) - delicious! (Enormous - took one of the sausages home for the dog!) We had no room for dessert, but they looked interesting. Good, well priced, wine list. A lovely evening all round! Well done!!

    This restaurant is a hidden gem!! We found it by searching Google for somewhere to eat when visiting Dumfries. We missed it earlier in the day when we walked past without realising it was there. The food is superb and fantastic value for money. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to eat there again if I am ever in the area. In fact I wish they would move to Sheffield!!

    First time visiting The Back Street - will definitely be back and would absolutely recommend to others. Lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, food was amazing (didn't realise a Chicken Kiev could taste so good) and the service was excellent - special mention to one of the waiters who we enjoyed a bit of a laugh and joke with. We'll be back soon 👍

    Food was excellent, scotch egg was great and the meat was cooked very well. Mozzarella starter was very basic but nice. Desert Pana Cotta was a little loose but had good flavour. Drinks were good with a good selection of wines. Service was awful.
