   Really nice food. The haggis scotch egg was the best scotch egg I've ever had. Can't fault the place. Our meal was the last of our holiday and was the best. Heartily recommended this restaurant.

   Great restaurant. Really high quality food. Not the cheapest place, but not expensive given the high quality of food provided. Have been a return customer on several occasions and it has always maintained its high standard.

   Service and food were both excellent. My scotch egg as a starter was probably the best I have had. I asked for my steak to be cooked bleu and it was. Certainly be back.

    Great tasting quality food for us all and all at good prices. Bookings numbers / timings seemed to be well judged to ensure kitchen wasn't rushed and it showed in the way the food came out. All 3 of us thought our food was excellent and the Primitivo wine we had was great as well. I'm sure we'll all be back soon!

    Our 2nd visit courtesy of a gift card following my wife's retirement. Decided to try out the steak night which is £45 for a sharing 16oz sirloin steak, two portions of steak cut chips, two sauces (we chose one peppercorn and one blue cheese) and a portion of mac cheese + a bottle of red wine! Excellent value and good quality food.

    Amazing kitchen! To get food at this quality at this price and in these portion sizes is extraordinary. We had not heard of the restaurant before, we just googled, and now I feel like I just discovered a rising star! The chef’s name is William Wakefield (I asked), and I’m sure he has a great career ahead of him!

    Had a very enjoyable meal and will certainly repeat the experience in the next few weeks. The menu was quite adventurous and a change from other more standard venues. The noise level was a bit of a problem but not crucial. The bill would have been better if it had grouped the individual courses and initial drinks together. As it was we were nearly undercharged by £20 and I only picked this up when I saw the total was unrealistic for what we had. Keep up the good work. Dumfries needs you!!!

    Another lovely meal at The Back Street restaurant, food was well cooked and delicious and the serving staff were friendly. Brought a guest with us and she was so impressed that she's asked us to book again for when she visits in July. Will definitely return.

    Great starters, a real treat. Main courses were equally good and just enough to leave you wanting more. Wide selection of wine albeit the house red complimented the meal well. Dessert was the weak point! Front of house had enthusiasm and courtesy.

    Great to be in a restaurant that has a bit of buzz about it. No shortage of servers on the tables and good attention to when drinks needed topped up etc My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed our starter (Haggis scotch egg and heritage tomato salad). The mains were most appetising too (lamb shoulder and a vegetarian linguine). All at a reasonable price
