Best Lunch Restaurants in Avondale

Had an amazing time for our first experience at The Back Burner. Diana was quick to ask if it was our first time & once we said it was she talked us around the menu. Telling us that they sell crazy amounts of the “better cheddar”, you get a great amount of flatbread which has a homemade pita chip vibe. We had the crab bisque which was so good my fiancé almost forgot to share any with me! We split the wedge salad, which was so refreshing. He got the short rib and I got the salmon Wellington. We had to get all that bagged up so we could try out some dessert. We got the raspberry crème brûlée, it was so tasty.

Outstanding meal on Valentine's day. The tables for two are very small which made the meal a bit challenging at times but the food was great. Everything arrived hot and fresh and, considering it was a holiday and they were crowded, the time between ordering and receiving an appetizer and between that and the meal was not unusual. We did not feel we were waiting too long nor that we were rushed. Hard to hear our server and his accent was strong, which made communication a bit difficult, but we managed and he was excellent. The restaurant has panels on the ceiling in, I guess, an effort to reduce noise. However, they are hard panels. If they draped them in some fabric, it might help more. Overall a very enjoyable meal, big portions - enough to bring home for a second meal, reasonable pricing (BYOB is nice although they do have their own wine and cocktail menu. We brought our own wine which helped the overall cost, too). We will definitely return.

Had an excellent valentines dinner at the house of William and merry! Our server was awesome in his recommendations and was not overbearing in checking in on us often. We tried their house Syrah wine, which was excellent, and HIGHLY recommend the duck wings as an appetizer. will be going back!

Absolutely fantastic. We came for Valentine’s Day dinner and the menu was amazing! Got the lobster tail for appetizer, lobster ravioli, and the veal parmigiana! Once we got our bill we were told “someone took care of it” so thankful and surprised. Staff were great, good was great we will absolutely be back!

Great food and service. Food was hot and our waitress very attentive and prompt. Overall fabulous experience as we have experienced before. This is always a favorite choice for his birthday celebration.
