Fun place with a Western ambiance - different for the Provo area, which was a nice change. Food was very good. Burgers are unique and tasty. Love how the fries (both sweet potato and regular) are waffle cut, and the different flavored salts were fun to experiment with. In the end though, none of this was worth it because of the wait. It took 1hr 15 minutes+ to get our food, and that was at 2:30 pm; shouldn't be a busy time of day. NOT enough workers. There were only two workers seating guests, clearing tables, wiping them down, taking orders, checking on guests, and bringing food, for the entire restaurant, and there are about 35-40 people here right now as I write this review. They also charge a 4% fee on all credit card transactions. This was such a disappointing visit. We were so hungry, but with how long it took, we should have left for lunch after finishing breakfast. Doesn't matter how good a burger it is, this wait time isn't worth it. We were never checked on by our server. Our food also came out late/out of order; two parties that were seated and ordered 10-20 minutes after us got their food 10 minutes before us. We also asked when ordering for some of the fries to be brought as an appetizer, but they never were. Bottom line, this place is poorly managed. The manager needs to hire more employees, and to schedule more people per shift. It's especially unfair to the servers working this hard. They probably don't get decent tips, because nearly everyone around us was frustrated by the wait time. The two servers kept having to apologize for the wait time on every step of the visit (waiting to be seated, waiting to order, waiting on food, waiting to pay). read more

Best burger ever!!!!!!! These are hands down the best hamburgers in the state of Utah. However just know that perfection takes time and these perfect patties of grilled grass fed beef smothered in grilled veggies and eccentric topping lá are no exception. Seriously: Do not eat here if you are with your enemies or a bad conversationalist or if you are an uptight jerk on a tight schedule. read more

We decided to come here since it was around the corner from our hotel. When we arrived they seemed very busy and they said it would take 45 minutes for a table. 1 hour later we were sat. The server was very nice and trying her best as it seemed they were very busy for dinner rush. We were finally called for our table and she asked us if we were ok to sit in a back table, "which had some construction stuff around it" we said fine some we were very hungry and just wanted to sit. See attached picture. We ordered and waited at least 30-45 minutes to get our food. After waiting for longer we didn't want to wait any longer so we got our food to go. Overall a bad experience and they don't have enough seating. Edit: Burgers were good. read more

Backdoor BRGR - Burgers Near Me - Provo, Utah

That was genuinely a good experience. I wasn't sure what to expect coming here and I'm not the biggest burger fan, but between the 4 in our group, we got the Tokyo Taxi Driver, the Grumpy Claire and the Poco Bueno with sweet potato fries to share. The Poco Bueno was our favorite, but the rest were very good and the fries were amazing. read more

The food is very interesting, I'll give them that. I got the burger with fried shrimp and tasted like sushi. It was delicious!!! But we made a reservation and still waited 45 min for our table. Once seated, it was super loud and crowded and it took 30 min for our burgers to arrive. To top it off, our fries took over an hour to get to our table. We finally just asked for them to go and had to ask two employees for this because they came to our table unpackaged. It was such a long, grueling experience and we will not come back unless it's lunch time and not busy. read more

Once you find this place (upstairs inside Heber Hatchet) you'll find there's not much better ways you can cook a burger patty than these geniuses. The bun is fresh and fantastic. The toppings are fresh, well thought out and can star on their own (Stoneman's grilled onions and mushrooms, guac and thick bacon were fantastic). But as good as all of that was, the real star is the burger patty. These guys have figured out how to really sear a fairly think burger and maintain an incredible amount of juiciness. Local raised meat that really gets back to what a hamburger should be. Waffle fries are serviceable and come with various flavors. Saoda comes in a big huge medieval mug. All around GREAT experience. Even had to stop and thank the chef! read more

Backdoor BRGR - Boring Ben Burger (literally the name) - Burgers Near Me - Provo, Utah

One of the strangest places I have ever eaten at. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it literally shares space with a hatchet throwing location. The whole time you are eating, you are watching people throw axes at a target in the shared space. I have never wanted to throw hatchets before, until I was eating a burger at Backdoor. Now I want to. Now to what everyone cares about. The burgers. Wow! So good. I got the Frank and Charlie and loved it. The idea of cream cheese on a burger makes so much sense . I removed buffalo sauce and added barbeque. Oh my! Definitely go to Backdoor and eat a delicious burger. read more

Decided to try this place on 9-12-2022 while passing through. Totally cool place that has ax throwing on the lower level and the dining is on the second level. The dining area is a mixed of eclectic things like lighting and the seating is kinda random with colors. It's a very cheerful atmosphere. It appears to be a younger crowed (this is a college town). But that didn't bother us older folks at all. The service was great!! Food: Total of 4 people Husband and self split the Booring Uncle Brice burger and reg sized waffle fries. OMGOSH it was so delicious!! We also ordered 2 root beers. The root beer was fabulous. But just be advised that it is a HUGE mug!! My husband and I could've split this drink. I almost passed out when I saw it!! Our friends ordered the special (and split it) which I believe was called the red sun. Had pineapple, jalapeños and the special sauce and other things. With a large fry. He had a root beer and she had water. The burgers were 1/2lb hence why we split the orders. The burgers were seasoned and flavorful. By far one of the best burgers we've had in a long while!!! The waffle fries were also very good. Would definitely come back here again if we are in the area. All the staff were great and personable!! read more

The long and the short of it: Loved the food and the character. Atmosphere detracted a little bit. This is such a fun place. We ate here and went ax throwing and the two activities lent towards each other for the perfect date night. The menu was ridiculously fun (emphasis on ridiculous) and we loved both of our burgers and the Cajun fries. I got the Grumpy Claire with savory caramel, onion, doubliner cheese, bacon, and apples. It sounds insane but it was really well balanced. My husband got the Poncho and Lefty which had fun crunch from the Fritos and yummy guacamole and street corn. The portions were big, food was hot and fresh and service was good (I'd love a toasted bun though Backdoor BRGR!) The only con was that the space didn't lend itself very well to a restaurant. The area we sat was also the walkway to the back of the ax throwing and the other seating area was mere feet from the throwing lanes. It was a little dark and loud, and without a natural flow. That being said, I think they have done great things to make it fun and I would return again because our experience was awesome. read more

We tried this during covid and their burgers are interesting combos but they definitely didn't disappoint. For a restaurant that opened during covid they are doing awesome! The fries have good flavor also! The burgers are juice and the bun is to die for! If you havent been then you need to stop by. read more

Came after lunch hour. It wasn't overwhelmingly busy. Most tables were dirty. We sat for 15 minutes and didn't get acknowledged for even a drink order. We ended up leaving. We won't be back. read more

Great, fun atmosphere, excellent burgers and fries (try their sweet potato fries). The staff was nice and friendly. Put it on your must try list. You won't be disappointed! read more

Best burger I've ever had! We ordered the simplest burger called the boring uncle and it was AMAZING!! I can only imagine what the other burgers taste like!! We will definitely be back to try them! And the cinnamon roll was delicious!!! Definitely worth walking through the ax throwing! ;) read more

The Tokyo Taxi burger - might be the best burger I've ever had. Wasabi mayo, tempura shrimp, pickled ginger and cucumbers - such a great variety of flavors. Thought I had walked into the wrong place but you have to walk through the Ax throwing place to go up the stairs. Grace was nice, helpful, and did a great job. I need to bring my kids here. read more

Came here a second time with the husband, and it was just as good! Great service, great food, great speed. Loved it, and so did the husband! read more

Utah has an excessive number of Burger restaurants, that are really good, but Backdoor is my favorite. These are not just your regular burgers! The variety of combinations is unmatched. Fresh ingredients and a unique menu bring us back regularly. Last week they were closed and we went to a neighboring restaurant and it just didn't come close in comparison. The pies are also awesome! read more

So good!! Loved the environment, great service, great food! Having home grown beef has caused me to be picky about my burgers, but the quality was close to home. Tip: don't be boring!! read more

Backdoor BRGR - Burgers Near Me - Provo, Utah

On a recommendation from my son I headed here during my most recent trip to Provo. Food was great! Actually, my hamburger was amazing! I should have taken a photo when I was finished. It was a messy experience but amazing. Love how the patties are nice and crispy on the edges. BBQ sauce was great. It was the perfect balance of all ingredients to make a perfect burger. Although I haven't tried it, my son says the Dan Kelly is good. Who would think to put peanut butter and Jelly on a hamburger, but he liked it. I tried the sour cream and onion waffle fries, and I'm still on the fence with those, and would likely get regular next time. And if you are up for some adventure, do some axe throwing while you are there! read more

Super random place to find a gem of a burger place! I always like to try a classic cheeseburger at any new burger place I try. I got the boring uncle bryce which is a bacon cheeseburger. We also got Cajun fries, sour cream and onions fries and a slice of mountain better pie. Super unique ambience but really great food. Good juicy burger patty, bacon cooked well. LOVED that they used an artisan bun vs just a generic hamburger bun. The pie was super delicious and a great dessert. I didn't love the fries - I was actually sad to see they got rid of their hand cut fries cause I was looking forward to those. The waffle fries were ok but o thing spectacular. I enjoyed both seasonings. read more

A REALLY great burger! So much better then some of the other burger places in town, particularly their neighbor a few doors over. Super creative and unique flavor and topping combos. Huge portion for the price- you won't leave hungry! Also, the BEST fry sauce I've had. It's unique and made in house! Atmosphere is fun and quirky- mismatched chairs and light fixtures, lots of western art, just a unique vibe. A fun place to hang out with a group. Great service too- just be patience and kind as they are understaffed (as the whole world is) and they also have to serve the tables downstairs at the ax throwing place. read more

Shut the backdoor! I gotta say, I have some crazy admiration for a restaurant opening up in this time of covid-craziness, but I honestly think this one will make it. And here's why... The new Backdoor Burger caught my eye with their Prince Burger when it mentioned both pepper jelly AND peanut butter . #saywhaaaat? I was so intrigued, I had to try it. And this burger was AWESOME! Picture your favorite childhood pb&j and smush it with a perfect juicy burger = BAM = a remarkable peanut butter and jelly BURGER. No, seriously, the beautiful combination of 7 oz patty, sharp cheddar cheese, salty bacon, pepper jelly & strawberry jelly, peanut butter, fried jalepeno, and fried onions on a bagel-like bun with the perfect bounce and bite! It really is an uncommonly match made in heaven. I liked it better than my husband's burger (the Frank & Charlie--grilled pepper, onion, and mushrooms, provolone cheese, cream cheese and shaved beef.) Therefore, that's saying something. Highly recommended if you're looking for a thrill. I also had to try the Triple berry cobbler as I am a huge cobbler fan. I can't wait to try this in-store though where I believe it is served in the cast iron skillet it is cooked in. It could've used been a little crispier one the edges and a little salt to pop the flavor of it all. Otherwise, it was an exceptional dish. I forgot to ask, but we picked out what we believe is a medley of blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Classic combo. Because it was curbside pickup, the ice cream was on the side. It was a decent vanilla ice cream, but I personally would've preferred vanilla bean -- that's the marriage cobbler prays for. Next time, I can't wait to taste their other dreamy-looking desserts and burgers. I'll be bach. ;) read more

So excited to try this place. So disappointed. I called in my order so that it would hopefully be ready when I arrived. But no. It took 45 minutes. And my order was one burger and one order of fries. Very interesting as I watched 5 people back in the kitchen and it took 20 minutes to get the order ahead of me out, which consisted of 3 burgers and fries, wings, and a salad. But good fresh food is worth waiting for, right? Again, disappointed. These are some of the worst fries I've ever had. I ate one and was like ugh. I tried the Prince Burger as I was so intrigued and it was fairly one note. Very few flavors came through besides the burger. And occasionally some heat from the jalapeño strips but not the flavor. Just not the right meat to bun to condiment ratio for me. I know they're new and likely working out some kinks. But I would be hard pressed to give them another try. I did order a dozen cinnamon rolls for take and bake at home. They give them frozen. They didn't raise as well as I had hoped, but they did taste really good. The caramel pecan sauce with it gives it an extra lift. So I can definitely recommend the cinnamon roll. read more

First off - Props to this place for opening in the midst of chaos. Second off- this place is LEGIT. The Stoneman was probably my favorite burger I've had in Utah. It's perfect. I could cry right now just thinking about it. It has grilled onions and mushrooms, bacon, guac and their sauce. Plus their buns are SO FRESH. They have a bakery too. Their fries were BBQ seasoned which I loved. Unfortunately we had to do takeout since corona so the fries were cold but I'd wager that fresh they're some of the best fries around. We can't wait to be back. We also did the old world which was a great classic burger but with dubliner cheese which was a nice touch. The parties were a great size and perfectly cooked and seasoned. There was a tiny bit of pink inside and it was sooo juicy. Not overcooked like most places. It's tricky to find. You c an either go in through heber hatchets or literally through the back door which is in a little parking lot behind Chom. Overall this is a great little spot serving up what might be the best burger in Utah county. read more

Backdoor BRGR first-timer, here to share some things I wish I knew going in! Preface: the burgers were BOMB, so read on. First, plan on a WAIT. It took about an hour for our food to come to us. There were to-go orders, a big group who had called ahead, etc. We had a group of 4, which made it easy to pass the time as we chatted and waited. Second, plan on GREAT service. The waitress gave us a heads up it would be a while, and explained the that it was the result of a careful cooking and preparing process. This made us feel seen and cared for. She also checked on our order for us to see where it was in the process. Third, if you have children or older relatives sensitive to noise, you may want to consider a different restaurant. The open floor plan shared with the hatchet throwing place makes it loud and clang-y. Fourth, the food is UNREAL. It is MORE than worth the wait, and is very reasonably priced for a gourmet burger! The unique, family based items on the menu are delicious. The meat is meant to be pink, and I'm of the opinion that the messier the burger, THE BETTER. Fifth, there are only 4 tables, so it can be hard to find a seat if it's busy. There is a small one person bathroom that while small, is well kept and VERY clean. Both old and new music kept the atmosphere fun! Back Door BRGR will have our service again, that is for SURE. Four stars because the wait was quite a bit, but the food deserves all the praise! Go check out this local joint and support a sweet family-owned business! read more

This is our favorite burger place ever. The options are so random and filled with a variety of flavors. "The Dan Kelly" is a must have. We know it sounds weird, but the flavors just work. The beef patty is high quality meat. Gotta try their unique fry seasonings. You can't go wrong. read more

Backdoor BRGR - The Dan Kelly burger with bbq fries - Burgers Near Me - Provo, Utah

Located above the axe throwing place. One guy was running the show, I think he was the chef, and he gave great service and was very kind. Burger was INCREDIBLE. Juicy and messy--just how I like it Topped with a bun that was crispy in all the right places. For my soda, they gave it to me in a small (drink size) pitcher, and I thought it was a cute touch read more

On a road trip, it's 2:00pm and we're hungry for a burger! Searched Yelp and stopped in the Backdoor BRGR to get some hopefully tasty burgers. We ordered a Stoneman ($12) with gluten free bun and a Grumpy Claire ($12) and fries. Five 's are not good enough for these burgers!!! These were easily a 10 out of 10's rating! The burgers were so big and juicy they hung an inch outside the bun. Seriously, the best burgers we've had maybe in forever. We could have easily split one hamburger between the two of us and shared the waffle cut fries. The fries were also perfectly cooked. A bit crunchy on the outside but tender and hot on the inside. I also loved that the beef is locally sourced and grass feed!!! We will be back for more!!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!! By the way, it took 10-15 minutes to get our food. We were seated immediately. read more

Give me a burger with caramelization, a good bun, and an interesting and enjoyable flavor profile and you will have me coming back to try more. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. @_backdoorbrgr_ and @back.doorbakery won dinner last night for us with The Prince burger (The Burger Formerly Known as the Grape Ape-it has some peanut butter, jelly, and more--I know... just try it, SERIOUSLY), sour cream and onion fries, and a custom burger (because our son likes it his way) and Mississippi Mud Brownie. We liked it. Give me a little more flavoring on the fries and my fry rating could go up. Can't wait to try out more of the burger and baking menu. #backdoorburger #backdoorbakery #theprinceburger #peanutbutterandjellyonaburgerworks #buylocal #eatlocal @ Backdoor BRGR read more

This is one of the best burgers I've ever had. I had one of the specials-that had pico, guac and pepper jack cheese on it and it was exceptional. The french fries are delicious. The sauce that comes with them is amazing. The restaurant has a nice vibe and is relaxing and the service was, awesome. I wish there was a location closer to me in Salt Lake City and I would eat there all the time. read more

We had a great experience at Backdoor BRGR. The sodas are served in giant metal mugs, and the food portions are huge too. There are tons of different fry seasonings available on the table, the fry sauce is good, and the unique burger flavor combinations were fun. Our server was extremely friendly and responsive, and I loved the quirky cowboy decor. Going through the ax throwing area to get to the restaurant seemed pretty sketchy with kids, but other than that it's an awesome restaurant. read more

When your inner lumber jack is looking to lay down his ax and grab a burger be sure he has patience. We were in the area and my wife suggested we grab a tasty bite from this back door hole in the wall. She and her rough neck friends had once fed their gullets in this modern day loggers saloon. Before they moseyed on their way to try their hand at dipping into wax next door. She loved the mashup of flavors she had before and thought I would like to chop away at these fresh cuts of beef. Tucked away inside an ax throwing venue the restaurant seems to be the secondary function of this saloon. There are fewer tables for those looking to fill their gut after a long day of whacking at the trees we call life. It appeared to this weary feller that those who tried their hand at throwing the literal axes life at wooden targets were served more promptly. We waited for our food for quite some time that we almost started to saw logs right there at the table. We got served our fried taters about 10 min before the beef came out. The taters we good the sour cream and onion were suggested by the little lass that served us. They were dusted with a seasoning that this duo just did not care to much for. We much preferred the ones dusted with seasoned earth aka salt. Alas our burgers finally came and the long awaited flavors could not have hit the chatter marks of our tongues quicker. As our guts were merely still impatient with the long wait for those burgers that some might say go against the grain of the typical burger. The burgers were dense and full of flavor. With all that went into making them our mouths were wanting to taste each level that went into building them, but they only melded into one which had been turned to a masterpiece. I had the which needed something just a little more to hoist it to the next level perhaps some grilled jalapeños would have been the tongue and groove that could have bound it all together. As more growth rings continue to emerge from this establishment I would hope they work on their timings. for that is the biggest flaw in this so come armed with more than your ax and appetite for patience may be your greatest tool for this lumberyard. read more

Backdoor BRGR - Sitting in the back. Feeling like I am in an old western saloon. Can't wait for the burgers. - Burgers Near Me - Provo, Utah

Amazing unique burgers and and awesome seasonings to put on the fries. Well worth the wait.

The burgers were very good just super messy. So much flavor and very interesting combinations. Fries were super good. I just don't know if I'm a huge fan of their fry sauce it's like they took traditional fry sauce and added mustard. But I did like that you could add whatever seasoning you wanted to them. Cajun seasonings was great! read more

Really interesting and yummy burgers. If you are trying to be adventurous and try out of the box burgers then this is the place. It's a very cute setting and out west themed. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the place was understaffed and we stood at the host table for upwards of 10-15 min without being talked to even though there were only about 3 other tables sat in the whole place. Other than that our server was really sweet and the portions were pretty dang big. A large fry was more than enough for the two of us and we left satisfied. read more

I've been Backdoor BRG many times and so I think it's probably time that I leave a review. This place has many unique burgers. Each time I've tried to try a different burger. Today I had the Frank and Charlie burger. It's awesome! it's kind of like a Philly cheesesteak burger. Little messy but worth it for taste and for a unique experience with alchemy between two buns. I think I have found my favorite and I'll stop playing menu roulette. The sides are amazing too.

One of the best burgers I've had... EVER! Not sure if they are still open though, we did try earlier on in the beginning of this COVID-19 crap and it was closed.
