fun venue, friendly service. The quality of food was not as good as prior outing. The appetizers are excellent. The vegetables leave much to be desired. Canned corn, undercooked green beans {not like grandma would make as claimed}, tomatoes and okra with pizza spices? Barbecue sauce heavy on vinegar. The entrees are fine, avoid the vegetables.

Outstanding experience! First time to visit because we loved one of the pizza options - artichoke & mushroom. It was the best we've had in a long time. It's worth the visit! Waiter (Marco) also suggested a fantastic wine to pair with it. We will definitely make this a go to place for date night.

My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Back Table Kitchen on Friday evening. The Hostess team was very accommodating to us as a very large party (40+ people, I think) arrived just before us and seated us in the bar area which we very much appreciated. Our waitress, Shaylee, was very engaging and attentive to us and completely met our needs for the evening. We also enjoyed listening to the lady who was providing live music as well. Our drinks were prepared as ordered and the food was tasty as we shared several items on the menu...the Tamal was really good as was the Smashburger! Again, "cuddos" to the entire team working the restaurant on this evening as the situation was a bit challenging with the large party.
