“Highlighting Freshness and Originality”
Housed in a cozy '30s-era house, Backstreet Café affords several intimate dining areas. The downstairs dining room features a large marble-top bar, intimate banquette seating and views of both the front and back patio areas. Upstairs, the restaurant has two dining rooms for brunch, lunch and dinner seating and private functions.

The patio is also heated in cooler months. "Backstreet Café has come a long way since we opened in 1983," says owner Tracy Vaught.
