Was recommended this by a coworker and had the Mac and cheese with chicken for the protein. Omg! So good!! Seriously the best I've had. I can't wait to try other things from there. Sorry I can't find the picture I took. This place does not disappoint read more

Friendly. Fantastic food and fair pricing Visiting from Tacoma, WA and after spending great afternoon at riverfront park was famished. Found this little place on Edgewater 5 min drive from park I. Other side of river. I had the smoked tri tip sandwich which if not for a Muffaletta sandwich in New Orleans would been the best sandwich had in 5 years. You get to pick side and the Mac and cheese was creamy, decadent and just delicious. My four year old concurs and loves her mini corn dogs. All for $30 even with app. Not fancy, and takeout best option but worth the stop and highly recommended (Note get some ice cream one block down afterwards at Ring of Fire frozen treats) read more

The Back Porch - Side of sweet potato/-bit weird imho too soft to go along massive burger but I'm no chef, so what do I know? - Burgers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Super fun restaurant decorated in comic book decor (fun for kids and kids at heart). Staff is super friendly and helpful. Not only did they check in on us to ensure that our experience was fantastic, they also offered us samples of the pork belly (hot off the grill). Everything we had was absolutely delicious (sampled the Mac and cheese, tri tip and hamburgers). Can't wait to return read more

Just tried the Back Porch for the first time after drooling over their specials posted to Facebook and Salem Eats. We got 2 kids meals, Dino Nuggets and a slider plus awesome batter fries. I had the Fried chicken and a side of Mac and cheese which was delicious. Chicken was smoked beautifully, not dry. The other chicken sandwich was delicious and a slightly more healthy option. No pictures of the food was instantly wolfed down. Inside seating is small but outside space is nice. Be sure to get there early if you want brisket. read more

The Back Porch - Mac Attack - Burgers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Truly the best bbq joint in Salem. Ask for their marionberry bbq sauce of it your feeling exotic they actually have the recipe for Indonesian 'pinda saus ' when was the last time you had peanut butter and jelly bbq. read more

First of all, this place is a new small business that hardly shows up on google maps. It is deserving of absolutely everything it can get - it is truly incredible. As long as you love bbq - this place is for you. They know their shit, but I especially love how friendly and warm it feels. It's clearly owned by a bunch of nerds, so maybe I am biased when I say I adore the vibes, since they cover all of my hobby bases. It's decorated with d&d, pop culture and comic memorabilia all over, and the employees are wonderful to talk to with or without those subjects, as you please. Anyhow, check it out. Support local, high quality business over anything else! read more

Ordered take out, no bbq sauce offered or in order. Burnt ends are more like pork belly than burnt ends. Husband said pulled pork was dry and tri tip sandwich was just okay. Overall just an okay experience read more

A small but very cozy restaurant, the staff was super kind and the food was delicious, some of the best food I've had in Salem! The mac and cheese is super creamy and the fries are perfect, the bbq is tasty as well. I don't have anything negative to say and will be coming back, it was a nice experience to dine in. read more

The ambiance was nice and homey, the owners/staff were very nice and welcoming to us as first time customers. The meats are smoked in the back yard making the burnt ends and burger taste unique and delicious and fresh . It's a hidden gem in Salem! Definitely worth a visit. read more

When this place first opened we came here weekly and bragged to everyone that it was the best. We went last night, they charged us $50 for 2 Mac attacks with brisket. The portion for the mac has definitely been reduced even though they've raised the price. Also, nothing anywhere about brisket being extra, in fact the listing for Mac attack says it includes a protein. Won't be going back. The mac is great great but you can get bigger portions and better bbq for the same or less money at several places around. read more

Wowza! If there's a better burger in Salem, i haven't found it! Sweet potato side is... wow. Price point amazing.

if I could give less than 1 star, I would. It was horrible. The guy taking our order was sniffling and coughing and looked unclean. Our burgers were crumbled greasy meat and my sweet potato was swimming in oil. To their great credit they gave me my money back, so I was okay. But it looked like a nice patio in the back. They just need to clean up their act and cook with less grease. read more

DAYUM!! Great service, flavorful and moist BBQ, and REAL queso. Also best beer battered fries. read more

The Back Porch - Burgers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Really greasy (limp and dripping with fat bacon) and no fresh options, such as salad. No alcohol, and the back porch backed up to a busy road so not so peaceful. Wait staff was slow and got our order wrong. read more

The Mac and cheese was so good! And the sweet potato with honey butter was excellent.

everything was SO GOOD- we ordered the mini mac with burnt ends for protein, a sweet potato side, " the shredder " a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw, and a corn dish and it was INCREDIBLE. service was amazing, they have action figures and posters up - cute for nerds like me! definitely so worth it, reasonably priced and soooo yummy read more

Had the burntends and slaw. The ends were short of tender. Not tough but def not tender. Slaw was not great kinda dry not much in the way of flavor. Maybe I got them on an off day. read more

We loved the food we ordered for take out. We had the baby back ribs, mac n cheese and baked sweet potato with honey butter. They even threw in an order of burnt ends just to try for free! Everything was so good!! The burnt ends were AMAZING with the mac n cheese. The best mac n cheese is the best I've ever tasted, so rich and creamy. The baked sweet potato with honey butter was like dessert, yum. The ribs were really good as well. Lots of different sauces to choose from, they gave different sauces to try as well as the one we ordered. We'll be back soon! read more

I'm friends with the ladies who runs the place son service was great krissy you did a good job

Looking for something hot and new in West Salem? Only been here for a couple of months and the chef and local owner is serving a family recipe of corn called something fancy & all the traditional BBQ foods. Very delicious! Looking forward to seeing what events you bring to West! read more

Great restaurant, seating inside or outside. We had pulled pork sandwiches, they were excellent! We will be back!

The baby back ribs, and the sweet potato were so delicious. We will go back again. Mac attack is a winner, full of flavor. The guys are great and enthusiastic about their food. read more

Great place and awesome vibe. The food was perfect. The place is small, so they sell out of certain items quickly. The chef/owner came out and offered to mix in another meat to supplement the meat we ordered. Will be back! Loaded fries were #1 for me, followed up by a tie between burnt ends and tri-tip read more

This was hands down the best bbq I've ever had! I'm still drooling over it. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were really friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. Will definitely be back! read more

The brisket is fantastic, great tasting, perfectly cooked. My wife had the Mac Attack and she loved it. The service was great, food came quickly. We will definitely be back, often. read more

Came to The Back Porch tonight for dinner with the wife, we got the MAC ATTACK and the loaded fries. We were greeted as soon as we entered the entered the restaurant and the walls were decorated with comic book hero's, comic books, dragons, etc. Food was great and will be coming again! read more

Great service, super friendly and the brisket sandwich was fantastic!! We will be back.

We were absolutely pleased with the BBQ from the Back Porch. Plump, juicy ribs, Stellar mac and cheese. But make sure you have the smoked corn as a side. To die for. The Philosopher was A+. Soft fresh bun, tasty toppings and chicken cooked to perfection. Next time brisket, but will have to go earlier b/c they were sold out. Five star all the way. read more

Stopped in for lunch and had the brisket. Wasn't bad, average BBQ. Service was good. Really weird decor for a BBQ restaurant but maybe I'm just old fashioned. read more
