The Back Burner Restaurant Menu

The menu at The Back Burner Restaurant at 2242 Ingleside Ave in Macon is a delightful mix of classic and creative dishes that genuinely surprised me as a reviewer. From the moment you sit down, you can tell the kitchen takes pride in both quality and variety, with entrees that range from the rich High Choice Black Angus Beef Tenderloin served with béarnaise and almond pesto mashed potatoes, to lighter fare like the Open Flame Grilled Scottish Salmon topped with a luscious lobster champagne sauce, all priced around the mid‑$20s to high‑$20s. The Seafood Trio Almondine brings together pan‑seared rainbow trout, Georgia shrimp, and a jumbo lump crab cake with roasted almonds and lemon butter, giving seafood lovers a satisfying trio of flavors and textures. For those who want something bold, the Sesame‑encrusted Pan‑seared Ahi Tuna (Rare) with soy ginger reduction and wasabi aioli stands out, while the Pan‑Roasted Wild Sea Bass delights with red pepper pesto and sautéed mushrooms, making each bite feel indulgent yet balanced. The menu also offers a few additional classics like lamb and veal options, so there’s something for almost every palate, all prepared with finesse and paired with tasty sides like fingerling potatoes or garlic sautéed spinach. Overall, the menu feels thoughtfully curated, blending comfort with a touch of upscale flair that keeps you excited for your next visit.
