Back Burner Cafe provided catering after a family member passed away. I live away from the area and reached out to this business to deliver. The owner responded promptly and provided suggestions. The food was prepared and delivered the following day. Relatives reported that the food was delicious. It arrived hot and packaged well. I hope to stop in at the restaurant sometime when I am in the area. Highly recommended. A big plus is that it is woman owned and operated. read more

I cannot even explain to you how good this food was for our bridal shower. We got the wraps (pictured), the shrimp cocktail (pictured), salads (pictured), and then not pictured is the chicken franchise, twice baked potatoes, pulled pork, broccoli and cauliflower, and the Mac and cheese. EVERYONE RAVED ABOUT THIS FOOD. It was amazing! Not one thing I would change. The staff came in, were incredibly nice and professional, and the food was to die for. Everyone was talking about it and asking where we got it catered. Thank you again! 5/5 read more

Support this neighborhood gem. The menu is original and varied. The flavors are fresh and satisfying. The staff is professional and courteous and there's plenty of parking. I had, The Rachel and she must be a sandwich genius. The soup of the day was sold out by 1pm and it was a hot day! Sorry I missed it but so glad I stopped in and you will too. read more

Ordered from here to cater an event and it was amazing. Everyone loved it. Just went to eat here for the first time in house and it wasn't great. Soup was like warm and seemed microwaved. Burger was over cooked and dry. And worst of all the bun was partially frozen and stale. If I go here again and the food is better I'll update this review. read more

This place is absolutely delicious and the owners/staff are so lovely. I highly recommend the passateli soup and any of the wraps. The salads are also enormous and the desserts are amazing. I can't say enough about this hidden gem. read more

FANTASTIC. I would highly recommend stopping in here for lunch, and I also would recommend calling ahead and ordering to go if it's possible. The food took 30-40 minutes to come out, but it was definitely worth the wait. I got the Toga wrap, basically just a Caesar wrap, and it was delicious. Everything was fresh, the chicken was hot and cooked perfectly while the dressing came in the perfect amount. It's a hidden gem, and has different daily specials as well. Lots of options to choose from, and everyone I ate with was satisfied. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in because of word of mouth. Came back within the same week because the food & staff were that good. Don't miss this little hidden gem in Dunmore. It doesn't matter what you order it's all homemade. If you need something prepared a special way just ask, they are extremely accommodating. Make sure you try the Billy Batts chicken sandwich so good ordered it both visits. The Jessie wrap & the drunken chicken panini are over the top delicious too. read more

They Who get more stars, They Just aren't open often. The food I have got here is very good. Just the Hrs aren't consistent.

Amazing food at very reasonable prices. Flavors that can appease foodies and incredibly kid friendly. Everytime we go, I feel we don't come here often enough. A true dunmore hidden gem. read more

Tried to come here for the first time on my lunch break and the front door was locked at 2pm on Thursday.

Eclectic specials and hometown favorites daily. Eggs served all day. Menu features crisp, fresh salads,house roasted turkey and porketta sandwiches. Bread delivered fresh daily! Coffee & espresso brewed daily. Catering on or off site available. A+ establishment!! read more

Oh my! A perfect little gem in Dunmore. Porketta with au jus --inspired! Seasoned perfectly (you know how some people lay it on so thick that you can't taste the pork, not here!). My first time here, definitely not the last. Next time, dinner --specials every night. read more

Had experience of being at a family party catered by the owner so we got to sample numerous dishes from salads to veggies to pasta to meat and finally fresh fruit...stop by and pick up dinner to take home ... read more

A hidden treasure. Lunch was a delight. Wonderful chicken wrap with guacamole, jack cheese, bacon, lettuce. Yummy.

It's always a great lunch at the back burner. I really like the porketta and The abbey salad. The employees are awesome and the owner A+.

Best hidden gem in the area!!!! Used to go to the more well known Dunmore lunch places but now this is always my #1! Owner is very kind and always greets everyone who walks in the door. HIGHLY recommended. Not a bad thing on the menu. read more

I ordered the French Toast to go and it was delicious! I imagine if I had eaten inside instead of take-out it would've been even better! It came with a side of fresh fruit and the good kind of syrup. The girls at the counter were super friendly when I went in to pick up. I'll definitely be trying out some more of the menu very soon read more

What a surprise. Stopped in on a whim. The quality of the food is way beyond expectation. The price was more than fair. My youngest had pancakes. It was the size of the plate and tasted great. Oldest kid got the French onion soup. It had the cheese melted over the top of the bowl and was delicious. Husband had the sliders of the day which were pot roast. The meat was tender and juicy and very flavorful. Even the carrots in the side were amazing. I had the flatbread of the day, buffalo chicken. I was pleasantly surprise by the depth of flavor. The buffalo sauce had a good tang without overpowering the whole dish and the real blue cheese crumbles were the perfect topping. There is no dedicated kids menu but the prices are reasonable enough and there is enough variety to the menu that we didn't miss it. When my 6 year old ordered pancakes the owner offered to half the order and the price and it was just the right amount. I can not say enough good things about the food and service. They base menu is very good and the large variety of changing daily specials ensures that you could go everyday and not tire of the options. We walked in hangry and left very happy! read more

I would have never come across this cafe on my own. It's in an area that I don't normally pass and even if I did ever pass it I doubt this place would have caught my attention from the street. There is a reason why so many of the reviews call this place a hidden gem! Everything we had was delicious. The tomato bisque was one of the best soups I have ever had. The seating area is small- so be prepared if it's peak time or if you have a large group. The menu items had a nice mix of delicious kid friendly comfort foods and more adventurous and unique combos. I don't think you could go wrong with anything they serve. read more

Found this little out of the way restaurant on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The staff bent over backwards to serve us, the food was excellent, and the price was very very reasonable. I will return soon. read more

Had their food at numerous catered family functions and always super impressed. The chicken Marsala is excellent!

A gem of a spot. It's a small neighborhood cafe, clearly does a lot of catering, but has a few tables for eat-in. Delicious food, prepared to order. read more
