Backdoor BRGR delivers on both atmosphere and food. The ambiance is fun and relaxed, with old western movie posters and vintage travel posters lining the walls. The lighting and seating feel eclectic without being uncomfortable--casual, inviting, and easy to settle into. Our waitress, Avery, was excellent. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through the menu, which made ordering easy. We shared a large order of fries between the three of us, and they were more than enough. The fry sauce stood out immediately--definitely not the standard Utah variety--and genuinely excellent. On Avery's recommendation, I ordered the Cowboy in LA, and I'm very glad I did. The flavors were well-balanced and bold, and it was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. My son and his friend both ordered the Stoneman burger and agreed it was really good as well. Overall, this was a standout experience. I'd recommend Backdoor BRGR without hesitation--easily the best burger I've had in years. read more

First time in Utah, and we chose Backdoor BRGR for the first meal of our trip. We made the right choice! We parked in the back of the building, and entered through the BACKDOOR. It felt a little odd walking through the back @ first, as we got a little peek into the kitchen. It didn't seem like we should have been back there, but once we got to the host area, we were assured that entering through the back is completely fine. As we sat there, we noticed many people doing the same thing. The place is western theme. Lots of fun pictures on the walls, random lighting and chairs, I personally loved the vibe. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions on the menu. We felt right at home, great hospitality here. I wanted to try a burger that sounded really out of the ordinary, so I got the Grumpy Claire. It has apples on it, a savory caramel sauce, it just sounded insane, and I had to try it out. I also got an order of onion rings. The burger was cooked to perfection, had great flavor and was more delicious than I imagined. My husband got the Poco Bueno. I tried a bite, I did not like it. The reason I did not order it was because that sounded like a burger I'd find at any regular burger joint. The problem I had with the burger was the seasonings used. It tasted like a very strong taco seasoning was added to the patty. I do not like taco seasoning at all, so this was a No from me. My husband got an order of fries with his burger, which were very good! &Their fry sauce is amazing! The staff makes you feel like part of the family & check in on you consistently throughout your visit. The part that stood out the most was that not only was our waitress checking in on us, the other waitstaff would come by and ask how we were doing as well. The owner came over to chat with us too. She came up, introduced herself, asked how our meal was, and we talked with her for several minutes to follow. I appreciated that experience. I highly recommend trying Backdoor BRGR if you haven't yet! The pricing was fair, the staff is amazing, the owner is a sweetheart, and the food is incredible. read more

Wowwwww the best burger I've had in a longgggg time! First time here, came with my son and this place blew us away! Each had a special burger, and BOTH were fire! Had the pleasure of being served by one of the family owners who knew every special thing about the menu. Cathy's recommended were spot on, and she was a delight! New fave spot...love LOVE read more

Pretty vibey place. Western theme is quite clear and is added to it with having axe-throwing upstairs. Food did not disappoint, the burger was a delicious mess! So many unique concoctions to choose from. The fries were also very crispy and excellent. Prices were a little bit high on the sides/drinks. Also, could just be today, but there was just one poor waiter handling the entire restaurant so service was extremely slow. That being said, she was knowledgeable and friendly despite the situation and I hope she gets the assistance she deserves! read more

"Dan Kelly" burger is PHENOMENAL! Who would have thought homemade raspberry jalapeño pepper jelly + peanut butter + sweet jalapeño spread + cheddar cheese + bacon would be so amazing?! Bravo! read more

I never write reviews, EVER, but I had to for this restaurant. For starters, we waited almost an hour for our food, we only got 3 burgers, 2 fries and a kids meal. One of the fries we got was the "Maple marshmallow sweet potato fries". The fries were burnt and there was no "marshmallow", the sauce was a cream cheese type of sauce. After being there for a total of an hour and 20 minutes we went to pay our bill and it was $88!!!!! Way too over priced for the type of food and service. read more

Went for lunch, there were about 5 other tables taken and service was a bit slow but food was very hot and fresh. My biggest complaint was the kids meals came last. The burgers weren't our favorite but the shakes were to die for, especially the Oreo shake. They were under construction so it was a bit confusing as it was our first time there but there was plenty of seating. read more

I loved everything about this place! The service was great, the funky cowboy decor is fun, and the burgers and fries are fantastic.

Huge burgers but good taste. The sweet potato fries are worth coming for alone. You won't be hungry leaving here. Parking was even okay in the lot next to the restaurant, which can be tricky in downtown Provo. read more

This place was a nice find just off Main Street in Provo. There is extremely limited parking so be sure to take that into consideration when planning a trip here. I ordered their old world burger on a lettuce bed because I'm gluten free. It was a $3 surcharge which I think is a little ridiculous when lettuce is so cheap. I also got a regular fry. The meat was cooked well and was a good medium. The lettuce bed was okay if rather have a lettuce wrap. The fries were not very good and they didn't come with the burger. Another pet peeve of mine. I don't like having to order everything separate it just feels like a money grab. The service was friendly and was great about my allergies. The vibe is very casual and is on top of an axe throwing business so it is a bit busy but we were able to get in very easily! read more

Top favorite burger spot! Backdoor BRGR offers probably the most unique flavors combinations for burgers around! I am obssessed with their Dan Kelly burger which has a raspberry jalapeno jam on it and peanut butter. Some of their menu is always available, whereas some of the specials are dependent on the day. Their specials include burgers with apples and caramel sauce (grumpy claire), cream cheese and mushroom (frank & charlie), jalapeno cream cheese and pulled pork (Colorado), coconut lime jelly and dill (Lucy I'm home), and other fun combos! If you're not feeling adventurous, they have tons of more classic combinations too. My husband loves the Boring Uncle Bryce (your classic burger) and the Stoneman which has guacamole, mushrooms, and bacon. They have GF buns and also the best waffle fries around! Four different seasoning shakers are available too, we love the Cajun seasoning the most. They have salt, sour cream and onion, and bbq too. Sweet potato waffle fries are also available, but we prefer the regular waffle fries by far. Super filling place, btw! Also it has a lot of character to it. Lots of mix and matches chairs, tables, random light fixtures, etc. Very western/home like feel, and it is located above an axe-throwing shop. Solid burger spot! We have probably been about 10 times now and it's always worth the 30+ min drive. read more

The food was amazing and the portions were large. The wings are actually not wings but strips of breaded real chicken. Also, the sweet potato fries drizzled with maple syrup and served with marshmallow dip is the best appetizer we've ever had!! read more

Service 5/5 Food 4/5 Value 2/5 What we got: 1 Poco Bueno Burger 1 Dan Kelly Burger 1 kids meal (mini corn dogs) 2 waters Total cost with tip: $55 I made a last second decision to get the Dan Kelly burger. I wanted the Stoneman, but they don't allow any changes to the burger and didn't want the old world sauce. The Dan Kelly was like a peanut butter sandwich with lots of pb and too much jelly and a burger patty inserted into the middle of it. I had to scrape off all the pb and jelly in order to taste the burger, which was actually quite good. My regrets doubled when my wife gave me a taste of her poco bueno. I actually wished I had just gone with a traditional burger. The fries weee excellent for about two minutes, after which they cooled and became just plain gross. Good thing we only ordered a regular fries to share ($6, $11 for a large). Our kid seemed happy with the kid's meal. Won't be going back because $55 is way too much for what we got, and I wasn't allowed to ask for no sauce on the burger I wanted. My mouth still tastes like peanut butter. read more

Has a parking lot and I got the last spot at 6:30 on a Saturday. Going through the ax place wasn't a problem. The restaurant itself is super cute with mismatched furniture and light fixtures that totally work together. I deducted a star because I started my order asking "how do I order a burger for a friend? I want it to be ready when I'm leaving so it's not cold when I bring it to him." The waitress understood and said she'd put it in when we were getting ready to leave. Cool. We ordered. Probably 10 min later she comes out and says they don't actually have the item my daughter ordered. She picked something else but wondered how it took that long to figure out. Then they bring out my burger and my friend's to-go burger first . My kids' food didn't come out until 15 minutes later. I think it's common knowledge that the food for the table should all come out at the same time but definitely don't bring the kids' food out way later! They get antsy! And I didn't want to eat before my kids so my friend's burger and mine were just sitting there. I was baffled. The gluten-free Stoneman was fine. A little spicy/smoky for my taste and the guac was so thin you couldn't taste it at all. I did really like the fry sauce. And my kids LOVED their food. My daughter said the kids meal was the perfect size for her and she really enjoyed her burger. And my son said the Caesar salad was great and he liked how they cooked the chicken. read more

Service was slow and we were the only ones there before two big groups showed. Then our order got accidentally put after the huge party. The server kindly acknowledged the delay, but not until we noticed the big party getting served before us. Fries are fun to try with the different seasonings. They have fun flavored burgers, but I'm a boring old man and like a classic burger. The burgers aren't memorable enough to want to go back. The root beer though, do love! The ambiance is fun and pending on where you sit, you have a great view of the mountains. To sum up the visit: food 3.5 stars, service 1 (how do you ignore small part of two people, with no one else there, until a huge party shows?!) The restaurant is located above axe throwing and you can enter through the front or back of the building. read more

Best burger I have had in a long time. Lots of good flavor! I definitely will be coming back

Super creative burgers on a rotating specials menu. I've been here twice with groups and everyone loved everything. I got to see and try several creations and they are great. The Mexican burger was great with green chilli, and the peanut butter and jelly was really good and unique. Don't sleep on the fries and sweet potato fries, they are super good. The flavor powders are a nice touch too. read more

Oh how I love the Smokey and some fresh cut fries! Love the mugs used for the soda's, had to buy some for family gifts.

The food is really good but the service has really fallen off. Finding parking can be tough, so it could require you to walk a few blocks. Not a super big deal. They are in a college town so I understand that it's high turnover but it's like no-one in the upstairs is managing it. It usually takes a long time to get your food so they likely aren't good at managing the kitchen either. You get told to wait for a table but then people come in after you and get seated because there is no dedicated host. Or you have to speak up for yourself so they don't give away your table. Which i hate having to do. Kinda puts a damper on the experience from the get go. No-one knows what's going on. They miss things on your order and you can even ask multiple times and still not get it. The places isn't that big but they have servers who just don't seem to care. Every time we come which has been weekly, we see a nearly completely different serving staff. There is only one woman who is there but I think she might be related to the owners. Maybe we'll try again in a few months and see if they've improved. Sad though, this used to be one of our favorite places but the food doesn't override the experience. It probably won't effect thier business because it's popular with the locals. read more

Super yummy burgers with fun and high quality ingredients. We got the Colorado and the Stoneman and really liked both. Sometimes burgers at places like this are piled so high that they're impossible to eat, not at Backdoor BRGR. The sweet potato fries were also great, nice and crispy. The service was a little slow, but they super friendly. I loved the huge cups, didn't have to ask for a refill every three minutes. read more

This was my first time eating here. I did get takeout and if you're coming on the weekend definitely call ahead. It did take about an hour to get your meal. I ordered the Dan Kelly, which is a peanut butter and jelly burger. Don't let that sway you. It sounds like a crazy combination, but the sweet spicy jelly with the creamy peanut butter, cheese and salty burger just works. It was delicious. I got their plain waffle fries which were crispy on the outside and nice and soft inside. I will definitely be coming back to this place and I've told others about it reall. read more

I saw the high rating of this restaurant and since we were in the area we thought we'd try it. It was definitely a little hard to find. You enter through an alley. To get to the restaurant is a little different too. As I was climbing the stairs I was thinking I hope this is worth it and it was. We ordered the stoneman which was delicious! The burger was big and so my husband and I shared it. The sweet potato fries were the best I've had. I'd go back just for those. I love really cold soft drinks and always ask for extra ice. This mug was the best. Wish I had one.The chocolate caramel cream pie was wonderful. read more

The food is 5 stars for sure! The burgers have amazing flavor, and the combinations are unique but somehow work!! I loved the sour cream and onion fries, and the BBQ fries, and the dipping sauce. The Stoneman is my favorite burger so far (we have come twice), but I also really liked the Grumpy Claire, it is sweet and flavorful! Fun ambiance in the restaurant. Good waiters and staff. The only downsides of this delicious place are: no changing table in the bathroom. Only one bathroom with one stall. Not enough seating in the dining area. No seating or room for people waiting for a table. Long wait times for food. Short staffed (but most restaurants are these days, sadly!). Not enough clear signage directing people to get to the restaurant from the axe-throwing side and by the stairs where the restaurant is. Still love it, still the best burger I've had in a long while. read more

I applaud the creative genius who made this place! Love it! Simple menu. Burgers, cross-cut fries and soft drinks. However, Each burger, is complex in itself, and masterfully made. No 'cookie cutter - everything the same" sandwich here. You can tell that each patty is hand formed and assembled carefully. I especially love the Tokyo Taxi Driver. Check it out on the menu. The textures and favor combinations are exceptional. Definitely 5 star. Disregard the fools who ordered the "peanut butter and jelly burgers," then complained about it. These burgers are gooood! The staff were helpful, happy and honest. The place is clean an comfortable. BTW - ask for flavored sodas. They have all kinds, just not on the menu. Keep it up my young burger masters, grill on!! read more

Burgers were delicious although a bit salty, but the service was sloooow! We waited forever to get our order taken and then waited even longer to get part of our order. They said the fries were coming but we finished eating before they did so we just paid for the food we received and left. They took the fries off the bill but offered no other compensation. read more

YUM! These burgers are honestly so good. I ordered the Grumpy Claire and although it sounds a little weird to put apples and savory caramel sauce on a burger, it was AMAZING!! One of the best burgers I've ever had. The apples are cut up small so you get some in every bite, and the flavor meshes beautifully with the bacon. I was blown away and can't wait to come back and get it again! Be aware that you'll have to wait a bit to get your food. It's not quick, but it's worth it. I appreciated that they had a sign at the entrance warning that they're short staffed and it might take awhile. My one other thought is that it would be better as a fast-casual place as opposed to a sit-down restaurant. The type of food you're ordering feels like it should be more casual, and by the time you tip to your waiter, it ends up being really expensive for a burger. I still think the burger was 5 stars, but the rest of the system could use some rethinking. read more

Talk about a HIDDEN GEM! Like literally (located upstairs from an ax-throwing venue). All the hype about this place has lived up to its reputation. Came here on a non-busy weeknight and it is the cutest, most charming place for a burger joint I have seen! Lots of unique, quaint decor and framed paintings on the wall (can you say, "Three Amigos"?, I wanted it for myself!). Our server, Matt was phenomenal - can't get a better server than him - super personable, knew every menu item and gave his feedback (what's super good, his favorites), and just as attentive as a server can be. The Stoneman Burger - OMG......guacamole, sauteed flavorful mushrooms, onion, bbq sauce, bacon, mustard, with Havarti cheese...need I say more? Every bite made me salivate for more, and it was cooked to perfection! Fries were a nice crisp bite that complimented my burger. The sour cream & onion fries.....was a surprise that really snuck up on me and I was super impressed! All this with a root beer served on tap....was really a memorable meal for me! read more

Cool feel. Nice server. Unique burger combinations. Great fries. And large Oreo Shake. Definitely recommend!

My wife and I went in with no expectations, and BLOWN AWAY. First off it's got an awesome Jackson Hole, WY style vibe. Sit wherever you want. Staff extremely kind. Drinks come in a huge "root-beer" looking jug! My wife & I got the Poco bueno & the Stone Man burgers. Both amazing unique tasting burgers. I thought I was branching out w the Poco Bueno burger and it was unreal. The pepper & pico on it was super good. The Stone Man was similar to a BBQ burger but had a mustardy-grilled onion kick that was solid. We will 100% be back soon to try their other burgers, fries & shakes. read more

It ain't "fast" food, but it's worth the weight. Love the pans for the large fries. Waffle fries are crispy, and the fry sauce has its own unique character. Burgers seasoned well and super juicy. Crisp bun. Fun flavors make each burger feel like a great choice for the next visit. Shakers with Cajun, sour cream and onion, salt, and BBQ are available at the table, but unless it's your tenth time here and you need something new to your experience, you won't likely need them. Shakes are massive. Will try one next time I visit. Only one server today, but she held her own Not sure I've ever uttered those words. read more
