    Obviously went here again. Pamela - you sweet angel. You made a rough day wonderfully great. The food and drinks were great (I had wine, my friend had an old fashion). The fried pickles were delightful. The fries were delightful. The ambience was delightful. I am new to town, even to Colorado. But within the past few months of living here, I've been here multiple times for their service and food. I can't understand why anyone would leave a negative review unless they were just pullin' it out of left field and, like, couldn't have a special and also use a coupon. Seriously the only reason I can think of where someone would have any sort of feeling in leaving a bad review for this place. Go to McDonalds for lesser food, they won't let you have multiple deals either. Was happy to be able to hang out with a friend with awesome music playing that consisted of multiple genres over multiple generations. Elevated food with amazing service. Pamela - thank you for being our server and I'm glad I finally met who wrote this on my bag! You're amazing, and you do a great job. Can't wait to come in again!!!!

    We loved Back Door! It was pretty chill for a Saturday night but not dead even though it was very chilly outside. We got Old Aggies ($2 special on the weekends!), and 2 hamburgers - one was the classic double and the other the Twilight Zone. And wow -- the meat tasted so fresh, and the portion was huge! The Twilight Zone with an interesting mix of peanut butter, bacon and siracha. It was a risk but the flavor was outstanding! A healthy amount of spice from the siracha with a little peanut butter flavor. The fries were also delectable. We tried both the original and sweet potato. My only complaint was the bun was a pretzel bun and seemed store bought instead of the bun photo in the reviews that I was hoping to get when we got there.

    Take me back to Paradise City, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty...... what a fun and busy area of Fort Collins! We are making a trek from WA to TX, and along the way we have made some stops to visit with Familia. My mom was surprised when she seen her youngest son and Fam walk up the stairs and to the main floor level. Needless to say, she was overcome with joy! I asked my bro where to meet, and this is the place we decided on based on the menu. Definitely was surprised to see the fun atmosphere but more importantly... to feel it. A few levels of fun, where the pool table is in the street level, up the stairs to the main level with plenty of seating and fun vibes. The third floor is the rooftop deck with a view of the surrounding streets, complete with its own bar and seating areas. Now onto the drinks I had the Bloody Mary (very tasty) and my brother ordered the Maple Old Fashion. Hot Diggity Damn that was delicious!! Highly highly recommend! Now the food We had some apps to start with and first time ever hearing of or having the Tater Totchos. As my good friend Smokey would say to Bandit... Summmmbitch! Unfrigginreal! This concoction of tots, queso, peppers, shredded cheese, onions, and beef... my wife and I couldn't stop. Never mind that we had Fried Pickle Spears and Gooey Sticks on the table, we devoured the Totchos. And onto the mains... and by that I mean burgers. I'm forever on a quest to find the BEST smoked brisket and burgers. The wife shared the Classic Bison Cheeseburger with mì Madrè, and it was plenty satisfying to them both. I had a New School burger... the Buzz Lightyear. Again I want to quote my buddy but that would be redundant, but I'll be damned if I didn't morph into Gollum and all my wife heard was "Precious. My precious!" Bacon, fried egg over hard, Swiss, and avocado?!? C'mon! Sadly though, can't say it's the best burger (currently a joint in South Carolina holds that title for me) I'v ever had. There were a couple Mahalo Burgers at the table, all with enthusiastic raves. All in all, we had LOL's (lots of laughs ) and incredible service. Thank you for the fresh experience and great memories. Now if I can swipe a skateboard from one of these dudes to get mom curb grinding back to the truck. As always, enjoy and Happy Eating!

    Gin n' Tonic with a twist of lime

    Out on a road trip from WA to TX and Fort Collins was a good town to meet up with family from other states. After looking online for a place neither of us have been to, we found Back Door Grill. First, Fort Collins is a very cute town, so happy we chose this cute college town. Second, so happy we picked Back Door Grill. A very nice, causal, welcoming restaurant/(bar &)grill. Although we sat in the main (floor) part of the restaurant, there is a beautiful outdoor-upstairs patio. We started with drinks; I had a simple gin and tonic (with a twist of lime) and my brother had their special maple bourbon old fashion. After tasting it, I almost wished I had chosen it. We also started with ladies night 50% off appetizers. We had fried pickles (spears), cheese sticks, and tator totchos(with Philly Beef, queso cheese, sautéed onions & green peppers). Very delicious! I shared a simple Bison classic cheese burger (with lettuce, tomato, & onion) and fries with my mom. They have some pretty yummy fancy burgers that others in our group tried and said was very delicious as well. We were so busy catching up on life, I forgot to get the "before we eat" picture Our server was very welcoming and friendly. There was two gals representing Tito's Vodka Company, giving samples (1/2 a shot) of Tito's n' Strawberry Lemonade, which was very good. They gave us drink cozies, sunglasses, and bandanas. The cozies will be great for our drinks around our pool. There was a mix up in the kitchen and the staff came out to see if any of the guest wanted a free order of beef street tacos.... never have seen that before. What great customer care/service. Definitely worth a stop off the highway or stay and explore this very cute town.

    Your typical college sports bar. Amazing drink specials daily and always playing sports on tv. My boyfriend always wants to come here for UFC fights and I look forward to it for the food They used to have a full hot dog menu which I was obsessed with but they seem to only have gotten rid of that there are still so many options though! Their burger options are absolutely insane. The service isn't the fastest but that isn't why you're coming here anyway. They get busy and it makes sense why, cheap drinks and good food! I only took away 1 star because I was charged twice on my card and called PROBABLY 10 times but the manager was only there on Friday and Saturday nights ? The employees said they would relay the message along but it's been over a month and still have heard nothing so I guess I'm accepting the loss here

    Located right across the street from Colorado State University. They offer great prices on happy hour food and drinks.

    I wish I could give this place 7 stars. Why is 5 Stars the standard rating system....idk. I also recommend the California Cobb.

    The Dirty Harry burger with hamburger, bacon, cheddar cheese, peanut butter, over easy egg served on a glazed donut with powdered sugar!!
    Missy G.

    The food is absolutely amazing!! My husband had the "Dirty Harry" burger and he was only able to finish it was because he is 6'5" with a bottomless leg, mine was the "wholly Spicoli" see what is in it in the picture. Could only eat 1/3 of it. But we will be back!!! Guaranteed!!

    Caesar salad (with no dressing. We had to ask for some)
    Lauren H.

    This place wasn't half bad and we will definitely be back to try it again. We arrived around 3:30, and the service was surprisingly slow. Not crazy slow, but enough to just barely change your mood. They also forgot Caesar salad dressing for my boyfriends salad. It was during happy hour which was nice! I ordered boneless Buffalo wings that were delicious. The chips and salsa were good too. I tried a dirty milkshake that was an orange cream shake. It wasn't half bad!

    Classic cheeseburger

    Amazing burgers and truffle fries. Very cool decorations and atmosphere. Efficient and friendly service.

    Maizie was an amazing server! The drinks were amazing and the food delicious. We will definitely be coming back soon!

    Ok, on the road, stopped in and Lori the bartender was great from the start. Went with the wings,…read moreand since I eat wings everywhere I can say they were very good. Ordered them a "little crispy", and we all know how tricky that can be, but the kitchen nailed it! Teriyaki/Buffalo were great. Of course, I dipped them in buffalo too. Recommend 100%!

    We popped in for a quick dinner on our way out of Fort Collins. My husband wanted to try their beer…read moreas this is a sports bar and brewery. He ordered the IPA. I had a taste, it was not my favorite. I do enjoy good IPAs, but there was an off flavor in the profile and the hop presence was weak. The majority of the menu are things that could be dumped in a fryer from a freezer bag. My husband had a smothered burrito and said it was good. I got the chili rellenos which normally I enjoy. These had an American cheese-like substance as their filling which was runny. My daughter ordered the bacon cheese burger sliders. What came was three sliders with lettuce, tomato onion and nothing else. I encouraged her to say something but she acknowledged that we were in hurry on this evening and she didn't want to delay further waiting for them to remake her dinner. She doused it with ketchup and called it good. The service was alright. We did not have to wait long for ordering or the check. All in all, I don't know that we will go back though, as the food and beer did not seem worth the price. We also had to walk through 10+ smokers gathered on the sidewalk outside to get to the entrance. Not great for asthmatics.
