*****  Backstreet Grille, 9101 Lakeridge Boulevard, Boca Raton, Florida (561) 883-2002.

The Backstreet Grille is open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. This joint serves everything from scambled eggs to steaks. The food is very good and the prices beyond reasonable. Backstreet also has a full bar-area which has plenty of large wall-tvs and booth-tvs for the sports crowd. This is a very easy going neighborhood joint, so feel free to wear your favorite tee-shirt/shorts ensembe while dining.

Over the years, I have eaten at Backstreet at least 40 times. In addition, I have had more takeout/deliveries from the joint than I care to remember. The one thing that I can tell you, I have never had a bad meal at or from this joint.  Included in my favorites are “broiled” chicken wings, fajitas, mini-burgers, omlettes and ribs.

My last Backstreet “taste-test” was last night and while packing away 16 honey-mustard chicken wings with french fries, I watched American Idol from 8-9pm on the flatscreen tv which was in my booth.

I am telling you, that if you live in the Boca Raton area, Backstreet is a place that you have to try. Just so you know, it is not your typcial huge sports-bar like the Ale House chain, but rather a small quiet joint that has a great combination of food and tvs without going overboard with  the sports end of things.

Check this joint out!!
