Friends and family gather for charcoal-grilled dishes inspired by informal cookout fare, as well as porch-perfect cocktails, beer, and wine. WE BURN HARDWOOD CHARCOAL ON THE BACK DECK. Aside from the delightful smoky flavor, charcoal produces a hotter, more intense heat. Foods sear better on charcoal, delicate foods like fish stick less, and the "grilled" flavor, which is a result of the hot grate searing the surface of the foods and the smoke produced by the fire, is improved. SHARING A MEAL AND BREAKING BREAD IS A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE BECAUSE FOOD CREATES SUCH A BOND BETWEEN PEOPLE. Our management team is dedicated to making Back Deck better for our guests by proactively influencing our path and working closely with our workforce. They are the real deal: outstanding leaders and individuals.

The Berkowitz family opened a fish market in Cambridge's Inman Square neighborhood in 1950, giving birth to the Legal Sea Foods brand. Customers were granted "Legal Stamps" (forerunners of S&H green stamps) with their purchases at a related family business adjacent to the market at the time, a grocery store called Legal Cash Market. The name "Legal" became linked with excellence and freshness throughout this time. The first Legal Sea Foods restaurant debuted in 1968, directly across from the fish market. The fish was simply grilled or cooked before being distributed on paper plates at communal picnic tables. The Company's commitment to quality standards, freshness, and the integrity of the entire pier-to-plate process remains unchanged today. By concentrating on people (our employees and guests) and excellence in everything we do, we continue to raise the bar and set the brand apart from the competition. So when we declare, "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!" we're reaffirming a dedication that has kept the brand alive for more than 50 years.
