Wide variety of meat options(beef, turkey, ham, chicken, shrimp, pork, and fish) and potato options (mashed, roasted, and sweet potatoes)! Plenty of dessert options!

Two things for me that could have made it better for me. More cheese on the mac’ n cheese (did not have much of a cheesy flavor). And a traditional crumb topping on the apple crisp versus oat topping.

However, don’t let the things that could have been better for me stop you from trying the Back 40!

Thank you so much for the kind review. P.S. Next time you are in, just ask for an extra side of our homemade 4 cheese, cheese sauce, for your Mac and Cheese.

They had plenty of choices on the buffet and my husband especially enjoyed the roast beef that was carved by request. There was a lot of comfort food on the buffet and if you’re trying to eat healthy this would be a difficult buffet to navigate.

Wow, you are a tough scorer! We only get three out of five because of not finding enough healthy choices on an all you can eat buffet?? OK, comments heard, our chef is currently working on a new recipe that will incorporate tofu. So try us again soon!

There are much better places to eat. Food on buffet needed seasoning.
This is a tourist destination those at REV getting repairs. This will be recommended to you.

This is a very friendly buffet restaurant, popular with locals. Salad bar was okay. The meat buffet and the sides buffet had reasonable variety but ... the fried chicken was warm not toasty, ditto the roast beef. The grilled yam had cooled off enough so that it wouldn't melt whipped butter. (I know that there is a trade-off keeping steam tables too warm and overcooking but .. ) The dessert bar had excellent bread pudding, and good sugar cream (the Indiana favorite) and cherry pies. Price ($18.95 without drinks) was high for the qulity but you could (I suppose) make up for it with quantity.
