Such a cute courtyard to eat outside! Great option for lunch. I am a huge fan of the baked beans! The staff is always super fast so if you're in to just pick up your lunch and get back the office they will make it happen.

My husband & I live down the street from this spot. I want to say our realtor recommended we try it. I'm glad we did :) it was VERY good & good grief the portion sizes are large. I LOVE the little back patio area, it is so cute & cozy! The staff were super sweet & courteous, too. I love that we live within walking distance of this little gem.

Great local lunch spot. Definitely a hidden gem! We got the special sandwich with pastrami and roast beef on sourdough. Food was amazing. Service was so nice and helpful. We really like the outdoor ambiance, it takes you away and you kind get lost in its charm. If you haven't been, definitely come check it out. Oh... almost forgot, the banana cream pie for dessert is a must!

I have been going to Backstreet for more than 35 years. Recently had lunch there and it was just as good as it always was. Everything is fresh. Sandwich was still amazing, love the baked beans. Banana cream pie was so good. It's a great place to take visitors.

Best sandwich shop in Riverside. A lil pricey but worth it!! I go here whenever I can to enjoy their hot beef dip or banana pie.

Not sure what I was expecting from Backstreet, but the concept was pretty fun. You place your order as if you're in a cafeteria line and then at the end, there's an unlimited sides station. The station has things like pickles, peppers, pasta salad, beets, etc. The sandwiches aren't mind blowing or anything, but it's a good casual place to visit and eat outside.
