    From the time we were were enthusiastically greeted until the time we paid for our meal and walked out the door, we were treated like valued patrons. The burgers here are tasty and cooked to our specifications. The patties appeared to be hand formed from excellent ground beef. Our server, Ian, was upbeat, friendly, and attentive. The Backstage Tavern provided an excellent experience and we will definitely return.

    The food and staff were phenomenal. They were extremely nice and accommodating. They even put the game on we requested and the whole staff was invested in our game. The atmosphere was so fun.
