The Back Deck
About
The Back Deck is a downtown Boston restaurant built around the backyard cookout, with three distinct deck spaces and a menu of grill-focused dishes. About ninety percent of the food is cooked over three hardwood charcoal grills, from polished takes on cookout classics to dishes inspired by open-flame cooking around the world. Signature items include the Cowboy Steak, grilled chicken breast and Back Deck S’mores, served at patio-style tables and chairs.
The restaurant opened in June 2012 and was designed to feel like summer year-round. Floor-to-ceiling windows slide open to let in the breeze, while lantern and umbrella lights, green planters and a sky-blue ceiling keep the patio mood going through Boston winters. Drinks come by the glass or pitcher, including Back Deck Punch, a Ginger Arnold Palmer and a locally brewed Back Deck lager, and the space draws date-night couples and after-work groups.
