Had an AMAZING time there at Back River Brewery this past weekend. Went for lunch on Saturday and came back for the music and brews that same evening. The beer was high quality & consistent and the food was generously portioned, seasonally fresh, creative, and all locally sourced. Cool vibe inside! Enjoyed talking with the family seated next to us, who were visiting from PA, about the handmade skin-on-frame kayak hanging in the ceiling.
It was fun to watch the chef work his magic, right there through the brewhouse window, with the constraints of such a small kitchen prep-space. I love that you're encouraged to and can also tip the kitchen with a choice on the menu to send a round of drinks for the kitchen and staff. Bar-staff and kitchen were attentive to details and friendly (took our picture after the meal).
Kitchen made a special kids plate for us with beer brat "hot dogs" and a flat-bread grilled cheese for the kids to share. We shared between 4 adults the Caprese salad, bruschetta, Cucumber/ tomato salad, Turkey BLT on Foccacia, Chicken Naan, and a BrisketKorean BBQ with Cinnamon Roll for dessert. All were super tasty and thoughtfully garnished with house-made sauces, micro-greens, housemade pickles, and more. Of the beers, I particularly enjoyed the seasonal Sour cherry limeade which was just released, ..very drinkable beer for a hot summer day on the beach. The Vanilla Amber was also very drinkable with good body and not too heavy.
We'll look forward to our next visit and will surely be telling all our friends to go check out this super creative, and fun little micro-brewery on...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Back River Brewery, and let me tell you, it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, setting the perfect tone for a relaxed evening. But what truly set this place apart was the exceptional service I received from Michael, one of the best servers I've ever encountered.
Michael was not only friendly but genuinely helpful, going above and beyond to make sure my visit was perfect. He took the time to explain the drink menu in detail, offering recommendations tailored to my preferences. It’s rare to come across someone who is so passionate about ensuring guests have a great experience, and Michael was exactly that. His warm personality and attentiveness made the night special, and it was clear that he takes great pride in his work.
Now, let’s talk about the food. The quesadilla here? Absolutely incredible. Perfectly crispy on the outside, with a generous filling that struck the right balance of cheesy goodness and fresh ingredients. It was, without a doubt, one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, pairing perfectly with their craft brews.
