You need a reservation but we arrived almost an hour early and we were sat immediately on a Saturday. We sat in a private corner and enjoyed this place so much we will be back. It's a little pricy but the food is excellent!...Read More

We visited the Back Burner for dinner over the weekend, and it was truly lovely. The food was very good, and the ambiance was very nice, upscale but comfortable. I had one of the specials and cannot remember the name of it! It had very tender chicken...Read More

I cannot say enough about this place. The lobster is the best and freshest you can get without traveling to Maine. Still great as the first time I went.

After a long, exhausting day at work, I was seriously craving seafood. I randomly came across this spot and decided to grab their seafood trio to-go since I was too tired to dine in. Usually, takeout from other places feels like an afterthought, but The...Read More

The first restaurant I saw off the interstate in Macon was Red Lobster, it didn’t look great from the outside and had 3.5 stars, so I googled restaurants close to me and Back Burner was 2 miles away. The service ( I think Dustin was...Read More

What a delicious night! We had a wonderful dinner on the patio. The food, service, and drinks were all outstanding. We had the seafood trio and lobster ravioli. Both are highly recommended. Can’t wait to go back!

Only small issue i had was right after Zudan, the server, took our drink order; he stood within view speaking w Mgr(?) for near 5 mins before he went to pour our drinks to bring to us. And also he didn't ask about an appetizer...Read More

$30–50Atmosphere: 5Quiet, easy to talk2 peopleNo waitNot sureIm not aware of any vegetarian options on the menu. You may want to look at their menu online or call ahead to see if there are any.Not Good For iodine allergies. Much seafood and shrimp aroma permeates. Any other food allergies, you better ask your server.Plenty of parkingFree parking lotProbably not a good restaurant for children. This is an adult restaurant with high-end service and entrees. I did not see any kids' menu.Ramp into building, though door is quite heavy. Chairs at tables can be removed for wheelchair access.

Cozy and intimate date night spot for couples of all ages, with impeccable service. Our favorites were the lobster bisque with its delicate note of caramelized butter, the Capri salad, the unbelievably tender beef tenderloin, and the resplendent full lobster dinner, which sells out early...Read More

So glad I found this place, not only is the food delicious but the service is definitely 5 star worthy. Will definitely be back with my client when in Macon! Try the cinnamon pecan bread pudding, you will not regret it.

A huge THANK YOU to The Back Burner Restaurant! We had a last minute lunch wedding reception for my friend and the guest list kept increasing. The Back Burner manager and staff remained extremely flexible, helpful, and patient with us …

The Back Burner has been a Macon staple for years. Chef/Owner Julio and his staff provide excellent customer service and high quality food. Pictured is the slow roasted Prime Rib that Chef Julio prepares just on Friday and Saturday night. It’s a must try!

This is what quality and service was like more than 30 years ago, before the bar for excellence sunk like the Titanic. Melanie; thanks for restoring my confidence in the art of being a wonderful host, mixologist, and server.
