A great place for a drink and a meal. A very friendly and informative staff. They know their stuff. A nice place to dine if you're not in the mood for downtown. The prices are reasonable and they have a happening happy hour.

Great atmosphere off the beaten path in an older home. Unique art on the wall and great beer selection. Food presentation and flavors were perefect. You can tell the kitchen staff cares!

we went here based on the reviews. It's in an old house just like it looks. When you enter the front door, there are only four tables but there are more scattered through the first floor in different rooms. The service was quick and efficient. The menu has several items. We saw diners across from us sharing nachos and it... More

There are not too many places you can go and get a delicious dish every single time. The Back 40 never let's us down..... Fresh food, made to order. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We have discovered a new 'best sandwich' in Saint Augustine, at the Back 40. We asked for their Cuban sandwich with avocado added, and found the combination produces a flavor sensation never before found in a Cuban sandwich. I should know; I lived in Miami for 40 years, and in fact was in Havana the day Fidel Castro came into... More
