Backstreet Cafe Nutrition Facts

Backstreet Cafe in Houston's Montrose neighborhood is a seasonal American bistro known for its al fresco patio dining and chef-driven dishes blending Southern, Cajun, Creole, Hispanic, and Asian influences using local ingredients. Popular for brunch and inventive small plates like Duck Spring Rolls and Crab Cakes, it evolved from a simple soups-and-salads spot into a critically acclaimed destination in a historic 1930s home.

The single best macro-friendly order is the Vietnamese Chicken Salad—shredded chicken with cabbage, carrots, cucumber, cilantro, lime-chile dressing, and peanuts—delivering lean protein from the chicken atop voluminous low-calorie veggies for filling volume without carb density. The highest-protein item is the Strip Steak (8 oz approximate, 50g+ protein), paired simply with green peppercorn sauce and minimal fries. Watch out for the Wood-grilled Hugo's Burger with avocado, Chihuahua cheese, chipotle aioli, caramelized onions, and fries, which piles on cheese, aioli, and fried sides for hidden calorie density.
