It was
lunchtime on
a sunny
Saturday and
we were
looking for
a great
place to
have lunch,
but with a
view. The
place
...Backwater
Bar & Grille
...the view
Queechy Lake
in Canaan,
NY, a short,
10 minute
ride from
Pittsfield.
We've been a
fan of the
Backwater
for several
years, and
always enjoy
our visit.
With a
friendly
staff, great
food and
situated
right on the
lake, who
wouldn't
want to
return.
They offer a
nice
selection of
specials and
on that day,
I opted for
the French
Dip while
Cindy went
for the Open
Tuna Melt.
Let's face
it, the Au
Jus plays a
big part in
|
|
|
|
a great
French Dip
and their Au
Jus is
outstanding!
To finish it
off, it was
oven baked
to
perfection
and served
with a nice
portion of
crisp,
golden
fries.
Dining at
the
Backwater
Bar & Grille
is casual
and always a
pleasure,
whether you
choose to
sit in the
Tavern,
which offers
table as
well as bar
seating,
outside in
the warmer
month (real
lakeside
dining at
it's best)
or inside in
the dining
room over
looking Queechy
Lake.
In the
winter
months enjoy
a romantic
dinner in
front of a
crackling
fire
in the old
stone
fireplace.
The
Backwater
has some
great
history and
it's
elegant, yet
rustic decor
will add charm
to your
visit.
Over the
years we
have enjoyed
many of the
delicious
items on
their menu,
including
the New
England Clam
Chowder,
which is
thick,
creamy and
loaded with
tender clams
and their
French Onion
Soup which
is also
fantastic.
If you're
looking for
a fresh
burger, they
serve an 8
oz. handmade
Angus burger,
which is
delicious
and served
on a Kaiser
Roll.
They offer a
nice variety
of burger
toppings,
though I've
come to like
the bleu
cheese and
bacon, but
get creative
and go for
it!
The Chicken
Parmesan,
Chicken &
Broccoli
Alfredo,
Baked
Stuffed
Haddock,
Hand Cut
Sirloin
Steak
...just to
mention a
few are all
excellent.
Take the
short ride
and put the
Backwater
Bar & Grille
on your list
of places to
try! |
