Back Deck to Open in Downtown Boston

A new "backyard barbecue" spot is getting ready to open in downtown Boston.

A job post from the Craigslist site indicates that Back Deck is planning a mid-May opening on West Street, bringing to Downtown Crossing a place to get charcoal grilled food, with the restaurant using three different grills--a Woodshow Broiler, a Montague Charcoal Broiler, and a Mt. St. Helens Shallow-Box Charbroiler. A few of the menu items at Back Deck include hot wings, grilled chicken livers, grilled cheese on sourdough, burgers, sausage and mashed potatoes, lamb kabobs, gumbo greens, s'mores, and a Snicker sundae.

The founding principal of Back Deck is the person who founded the Fajitas & 'Ritas restaurants, while the chef/GM worked the brick oven at Al Forno in Providence and was the owner of the now-closed Daddy-O’s in Cambridge (he more recently has been involved with The Fireplace in Brookline, Z Square in Harvard Square, and Brandy Pete's in Boston's Financial District). www.ChesterNiteowl.com

The address for this upcoming restaurant in downtown Boston is: Back Deck, 2 West Street, Boston, MA, 02111. Their website can be found at http://www.backdeckboston.com/
