It was our servers first shift and she did a phenomenal job! Appetizers and entrees were fantastic. Shout out to the chef who brought us some Brussels sprouts to try on the house! We will definitely be back often. read more

This was our first time here. The food was delicious. We ordered a I believe it was called an eggplant tower. It may have been a special I don't recall hand. I ordered the Al Kapone, which is a meatball sub. read more

Delicious food very popular have only done takeout so far. Nice ownership. Parking lot always packed. We'll have to stop in sometime soon.

Stopped after a day at six flags. Friendly service, delicious cocktails, fun bar atmosphere with excellent music and a great menu. The food was amazing, definitely elevated from normal bar food. We enjoyed appetizer specials and the arancini with vodka sauce was one of the best versions I have had, even better than fancy Italian restaurants. Highly recommend! read more

So good! The meatball appetizer is enough for a dinner! Everything is good! Drinks are great!

Food very good, service excellent, atmosphere clean, updated and fun. Bathrooms pristine.

The family and I stopped here on a Thursday night after a day at Six Flags New England and it hit the spot. We were looking for a bar and grill that didn't have the standard greasy menu. Back Room Bar menu is not that! They had so many original offerings and we went with 2 salmon dinners, an Italian Salami Caprese sandwich special and an order of chicken fingers for a teen. All delicious! The staff was so friendly that it looked and felt like they were talking to friends. It was such a good vibe inside and the live music was a plus. If we ever come back to the area, we will definitely go to Back Room because we know we will get good food. read more

So, the fam and I wrapped up a day at Six Flags down the road, and on the way out we looked for a nice place to grab a bit before the drive home. Back room Bar & Grill came up on our Yelp "nearby" list and, after taking a look at the menu, we set the GPS and headed over. Honestly, I was looking for a decent burger for the kids and maybe a nice meal for my wife and I. My wife heads in first while I'm parking the car, and calls to warn me, "It really is a pub; our kids would be the only kids there. Are you ok with that?" We discussed for a minute and felt, since we were here, we'll give it a try. My expectations were lowered when we walked in-- a square shaped bar dominated the center of the room, with some high tops on the edges and a couple low tables in the back corner. Televisions everywhere, noisy with a healthy young singles crowd vibe around the bar. Our waitress, Jenna, came to our table to start us off. One of the kids asked for fish and chips-- while they have a fish & chips sandwich, she checked with the kitchen and assured us they would make up a plate of fish and chips for him. The rest of the group ordered burgers, a garlic bread/sausage special, and I went for shrimp scampi. I wasn't prepared for what arrived. So remember I was expecting hi-hum bar food, maybe a semi decent burger. Everything that came was hugely elevated. The fish & chips were made from very fresh cod and battered after ordering; the breading was light and airy, with big pieces of fish inside a warm blanket. The French fries were seasoned perfectly and not too crispy/soggy/oily-- they were made just perfectly balanced. The burgers that came were fantastic-- ordered medium-rare, these were truly cooked exactly to order. Pink on the inside with a nice faint char on the exterior, fresh condiments and a soft bun. The shrimp scampi was a weekly special, but again, cooked perfectly. Huge shrimp on a small bed of angel hair with capers, peppers, and a light garlic sauce that imparted more flavor than heaviness. My only criticism would be that there wasn't enough pasta to really balance the dish's mass-- about 50% more would have hit perfection but... the flavors. Spot on, and huge shrimp! Nick, the owner came to our table three times to see how we were doing and chat a bit. He explained that while he loves the regular crowd, he was really happy to see more families patronize his restaurant so that it becomes a place where locals really love to come together and not feel like it's strictly a bar. If they convert some of the high tops to low tables, I think he may be onto something here... (high tops and kids definitely do not mix, thinking back to how my son fell off his stool when he was single-digits). But everyone at the restaurant was so welcoming and wonderful, we've decided we'll come back to visit Nick & Jenna again (soon) when we next come to the amusement park... and perhaps on a trip solely to visit the restaurant regardless! Note that as it has a large bar, the noise level might be too much for very young kids (we had to speak a bit loudly to hear above the crowd), and also perhaps a bit loud for a quiet romantic date, but honestly... you'll be too happy enjoying the ambiance and food to really care. Six stars for this place, if Yelp had such a thing. read more

My wife and I found the Back Room after trying to go to another pub which turned out to be closed. The service was very good. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. My wife had a peach raspberry mule which is a variation on a Moscow Mule and was really good! They have a great selection of beer along with a full bar. It has the feel of a local tavern or bar. Minimalist when it comes to decor but comfortable. No complaints. We had the spinach artichoke dip which was great. It definitely seemed house made. It came with soft pita. If we ordered it again, we would ask for the house made chips for some crunch. My wife had the New York burger which had a perfectly runny egg and I had the Chicago burger with caramelized onions and onion rings which were really good too! All in all it was a nice experience. read more

We had something going on in Agawam so stopped into the back room for an earlyish dinner. I'm glad we got there early as it filled up quickly and parking can be a challenge. We sat at the bar, I had a gin and tonic and opted for the reuben and chips. All were great! The servers were amazing as well. If we're ever back that way again we'd definitely return. read more

For the price you pay for small portioned entre's, it should include a piece of bread, and soup or salad with it like other higher end restaurants serve. $8 draft beers in a 14oz bud light style type glass. Will not go back to the back room bar and grill. read more

Landed at the Back Room almost by accident. We were waiting for a table elsewhere on a nice Summer Saturday night - chilling at the bar for a long time waiting for a table, and we told their kitchen was down. At that point with hungry members of our party we hit Yelp and it was going to be any port in a storm. I say any - but we still were picky enough to forego the second place we went to. In any case we eventually got to Back Room. Our server Kathleen was phenomenal - good recommendations on drink as well as food... we ordered the eggplant tower which was amazingly good. Crunchy, not overcooked, red sauce alone was worth the trip. 1 order is plenty for 2 people and you might be full from that - but you won't regret it! Pear salad was perfect match for a summer night and we split a fried fish sandwhich which was just right. Hole in the wall place you want to add to your list - we are foodies and this place earned our respect and future business. read more

We came here tonight after spending the day at The Big E. I saw other reviews and was sold. I have to agree that the burgers are really good and my boyfriend's Reuben was quite tasty as well. Our server was wonderful and very attentive to filling our drinks. The owner Nick even came over to our table to say hello and ask how everything was. What a great experience we had. Definitely be back when we are in town again. read more

I'm not sure what's happening here but the service and the food wasn't what I remembered from the last time we were there a few months ago. Hoping it goes back to the friendly neighborhood "Cheers" that it used to be with great food and friendly service. Definitely will try it again soon. read more

I was impressed with this place. A mix of old school décor but with polished concrete floors. Overall feel was cozy and made you feel like lingering. Very friendly staff. Options to sit at the huge bar of high top bistro tables. Menu was diverse pub fare with a strong Italian influence. I didn't see fish on the menu, however, there were two fish options on the specials. All 3 of us were extremely pleased with our plates. One friend had an impeccably fresh pear gorgonzola salad. Another friend had the wild mushroom ravioli. I tried them and they were delicious! My shepherd's pie wasn't the old school crumbly mess that my mom made (sorry mom). It was real beef or ribs (not sure) but it was amazingly tender and tasty. The brussell sprout app was delicious too. Lots of tv's on and music overhead but the volume was just perfect! You could always hear the conversation at your table. That was one of my favorite points! Overall all opinion: Really liked it and will definitely be part of my regular dining spots. read more

Next to impossible to get a reservation today Friday evening 6PM. 1st come 1st served. We arrived the place was 80% filled. We were greeted and seated. Atmosphere is not impressive or important. A/C was on and it was cool inside and 90+ outside. My wife ordered Broccolini Rabe with sausage and Orecchiette pasta. She loved it. Boxed the uneaten portion for another day. I ordered the Back Room Burger with bacon caramelized onions and sweet potato fries. Cooked to my satisfaction and very tasty. Wife & I agreed. We'll visit again. read more

The last time my wife and I went to the Back Room, we had a wonderful time and a great meal. It had been recommended to us by friends who loved their handmade hamburgers. The burgers are truly fabulous but we decided to go back because I wanted to sample another sandwich. We entered, didn't even have to wait and found the comfortable booth which we had sat at on our first visit was available again. This time at the suggestion of our server Xziana I had a Rueben. It was delicious. Xziana also gave me extra Russian dressing. Great meal, great service and I can't wait to go back. If you've never been and want a wonderful dinner please try it. read more

We were passing through town and found this gem of a place. Besides the staff being sweet (the owner/host, Nick, who seated us and Jenna, our server), the food was really good. The garlic knots with marinara sauce was great -- bread soft on the inside, not overly oily, and really tasty marinara. The fried calamari was good, served with marinara, a sweet chili sauce, and pickled hot peppers. My husband had shrimp scampi, the shrimp were huge, and he says the taste was spot on. One of my sons and I both had the 827 Burger (asked for medium rare) and added mushrooms. The burger patty was perfectly cooked; it was very pink in the center, and the outside had a nice char and crust. The fries were cooked well, and even the pickle was nice. My other son had an entree off the specials menu -- the garlic pizza bread. He actually took the leftover marinara sauce from our appetizers and used it for this bread and thoroughly enjoyed it. It had onions and sausage, which he normally doesn't eat, but he was okay with eating this, as I guess it tasty. And although not on the menu, since they offer a fried cod panini and offer french fries, they were able to do fish and chips for our son's friend, and that was excellent too; the fried cod was nice, thick, and flaky. They included a nice red cabbage cole slaw that wasn't overly sweet and was nice. We will definitely be back. read more

The entrance door is very nondescript, fitting the "back room" feel. I slip in here when I want a cool draft on a hot day.

Back Room does a great job with food and service. The restaurant is always full and clean.

Went there for lunch had the salmon stirfry my friend had the lemon chicken overall great place to eat atmosphere was good. The food was over buttered and the stirfry was way too much pepper. it was good Overall. Would I returned yes. read more

Went with friends. Service and food were both great Definitely a bar and grill atmosphere I believe all high top tables

This place which is on Springfield St. AKA MA 147 is not very far from a couple of other places I did Yelp reviews and all in all the verdict. I came in & dined at the bar and chose a good sized burger and fries (my only constructive suggestion is that there's a good amount of fries so you will be full without asking for dessert because I heard if you wanted dessert the chef didn't fill you up) and I caved into a lava cake (yes photos are coming) plus with my water they served in a Mason jar. Prices are reasonable and they got daisy specials and they also have MA lottery tickets available including Keno (unsure of scratch tickets) and the bar has all the beers/spirits you want and they do cocktail drinks to. read more

Tried the Back Room for the first time recently and the food was very good. We ordered the Flapper with chicken and sweet chili sauce and the Chicken Parmesan. The food was very good and the food we saw coming out for other people also looked good. There are plenty of choices that sound good. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very helpful with all our food questions. We are looking forward to going here again soon! read more

Food was great! It was our first time. We were headed to another place but it was closed on Sundays so I searched the Back Room bar and we ended up eating lunch here. They had a great sour beer out of CT (forget the name) on tap. My husband had the steak and cheese pizza. I got a burger. My daughter got the garlic knots. We also had the dry rub wings which are delicious.... sorry we ate them to fast for a picture. Would definitely go back if we are in the area. read more
