Back Door Cafe

Loved it! Decor was very nice. Staff was attentive, during an extremely busy night. Food was fantastic in quality and flavor. This was our first visit. Can't wait to return!

The portion is horrible and it's not worth the price you pay. We had to go to McDonald's after we ate to get more food our bill was $100 .00 and that's a shame when you have to go get more food.

Locally sourced ingredients. Delicious brick oven flat breads. Amazing people.

The Back Door Cafe has character, a well thought out menu, and a special touch to the food they prepare that elevates them to super star status. If you are in the area and have not tried them, do yourself a favor and get a reservation.

Very awesome service very pleased had a good time..

Very good food as well as good service. Will be back!

Great atmosphere and friendly service. The menu never disappoints. Portions are just right. Do not be afraid to try something new because it is always prepared with excellence. Great place to take my mother for her birthday dinner. If you haven't had Back Door Café before, then do yourself a favor and treat yourself.

Tom and Denise are virtuosos with the culinary arts and mixing spirits into wonderful refreshments. I've become accustomed to this fine dining locality they've worked so hard to establish in my hometown. Their cozy place is located in the arts and cultural district in Cambria City and is a welcome stop for me monthly when I have the time to visit. The sage martini is exquisite and is a popular libation on their lofty drink menu. I simply can't walk in and out of the place without at least having one of the tangy, sweet pick-me-ups. The menu is ever-changing, mostly with the four seasons we enjoy in Pennsylvania and there is always something new to indulge your aesthetic taste. Try it out for yourself! I am sure you will leave happy after visiting this gem of a restaurant.

Great Ambience..Great Food.. EXCELLENT Service..!!

Great food and service as always

Back Door Cafe is arguably the best restaurant in Johnstown. Nicely prepared classics with a twist and innovative interpretation. Great drinks too.

The atmosphere is excellent, and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, our food was somewhere between 'okay' and 'good' depending on the course, and it's fairly pricey for the food to not be 'great'. We would likely give it another try at some point in the future, but unless a future visit is better it won't be a restaurant we hit with much frequency.

High price. Super small portions. Nice staff. Was good, but portions don't equal the price.

I was super surprised at how awesome this place was, from what my husband and his family had described for this area. The cocktails here were absolutely amazing and very inventive, and the bartender was super sweet and attentive. Will definitely go back next time we are in town!

Amazing food, and a wonderfully classy atmosphere. The staff was fantastic. Truly an unexpected gem!

My wife loves this place. Great service, food, presentation.

Excellent dinner in johnstown

Great Food! Staff very attentive but not over bearing.

Okay food and great cocktails. Don't get the mushroom soup as it's pure water. Food is okay and kinda overpriced, the cocktails are awesome.

Awesome food and drinks. Service was amazing.

The food was excellent! I had the salmon and my wife had the cod...perfectly done! That being said, the only reason I didn't rate this place with five stars was the service; absolutely horrible!The waitress walked passed us without any type of acknowledgemental whatsoever numerous times. When she finally stopped at our table 45 minutes after sitting down, she started to make some excuses as to why she would come back to take our order. I had to cut her off and tell her that we knew what we wanted and were ready to order. We both order the soup of the day which we assumed was already prepared... well, a half hour later, we got our soup. The soup was excellent btw! I understand busy, but the complete lack of acknowledgemental and communication by the waitress ruined it for us. It's a shame because the food was excellent!

Excellent high quality food with gourmet touches and quality service. This is a small place with a bar and cozy seating.

Best restaurant I have eaten at. It has a great European feel. The food is excellent! The owners are first class.

We visited the Back Door Cafe this past Thursday and enjoyed a wonderful evening. The food was absolutely wonderful. We had a party of five and each person enjoyed every entree served. The service was great and Denise provided our party with answers to all our questions regarding the menu. Everything about the Back Doir Cafe was great. Plan to return many times. Thank you for this wonderful place.

Small joint with character, but you don't feel too crowded. This place is tucked away in Cambria City; you'd miss it if you weren't looking for it. Drink menu is very extensive. First time there and the meal was very good. They offer some original dishes, especially for the Johnstown area.It did seem a bit like some of the customers were regulars....clique-like. Seemed like we were treated as the newcomers by the staff. Not treated badly, but not in the in crowd.

I have had some decent dining intown, but almost always with the caveat that it was very good, ‘for Johnstown’.There are no conditions necessary for the food, atmosphere or service at the Backdoor Café. It can stand with the finest anywhere. We sampled the genuine Caesar salad, made classically with raw egg and anchovy, it was worth any danger. The mushroom soup was savory and flavorful and emphatically NOT a cream soup and the flatbread appetizer amazing.The Lobster ravioli was another case of letting the primary ingredient speak loudest in the dish. The tomato confit complimented and did not dominate the seafood flavor in the ravioli.The Lamb & the Duck each perfectly prepared and delicious. Desserts were extraordinary, a magnificent turtle cheese cake and a berry Tiramisu were each special.
