Back Street Grill

Wow. I have been to this place three times and haven't found any other place I would rather go for lunch. This is a really clean and happening place to go for a quick lunch or dinner with the hometown feel. The ordering was easy, the food came fast, and the waitresses....well I havent seen any better anywhere else in town. In fact, the waitress who served us was incredible. Didn't catch her name, but she was incredibly beautiful. Big brown eyes and dark hair, and a pleasant, yet energetic personality. Oh sorry, back to the review....The food is fantastic..I haven't seen anything that was premade frozen or prepackaged as of yet. Everything seems to be freshly made. My last trip was going to be the ultimate test. I ordered the fish and chips and asked that it be put on a bun, which of course, was absolutely no problem. See, the fish sandwich is always the best test of freshness in a place because it is either frozen in squares or truely a battered fillet. I was almost afraid to do it because I had enjoyed my first two trips there immensly, and didn't want to taint my perception. Let me tell you that I was pleasantly surprised when the order came out and it was perhaps the best rockfish I have tasted. Great job Back Street! I ordered a cup of clam chowder together with it and the chowder had real clam chunks and fresh cuts of large potatoes. Another compliment to the extraordinary meal. My total bill with endless glasses of soda, a side of skin-on french fries and a fresh slice of tomato with lettuce......$11.00. Listen, this meal as a dinner could have easily gone for 4-5 dollars more with no complaints. A definate stop for lunch for those in the Salisbury area, as long as you don't mind parking down the street. (This should tell you how popular this place is, and for good reason!) An $8 tip on a $12 bill---No regrets. See you again soon.

This place is your classic hometown, locals restaurant and bar. I had never frequented the establishment there prior, but as I hear, it was a scary place. Especially considering this, the owners have done an awesome job with redesign and decor. This has turned into the local hangout for myself and coworkers.

The menu has build-your-own-sandwiches which can be quite fun, or classic sandwiches/salads/soups. There are typically some fun homestyle dishes on the specials board. Everything is reasonably priced.

This is also a great lunch spot but I recommend to come early as it fills up fast.

PROS: Great owners, great food, awesome atmosphere at a more than reasonable price.
CONS: Parking!!
