The Back 40

We have had several good meals at The Back 40. From hamburgers to the Wed night special-​prime rib. Satisfactory service, food and prices! One of our favorite places!

Awesome dive bar with a «locals only» kind of vibe. Great place to shoot pool, watch the game or grab a brew.
In my opinion the buffalo wings are the best in the area.

This place is primarily a fried food bar and pool hall. The food was minimal in quality at best. Service was good but not recommended when other lake restaurants are so much better.

My husband and I always like to visit a new restaurant when it opens in the area. Sometimes it’s a good experience and sometimes not. This time Not so much. We decided to give it a whirl and was very disappointed. First walked in and I almost wanted to run back out. The lighting was dim the carpets looked dirty just not a very inviting place at all. We could hardly read our menus because of the lighting and just figured we would go for the burger (most places have burgers and fries) After waiting a ridiculous amount of time for the food to come out… No refills .not even your food will be right out… NOTHING…instead our waitress stood at the bar and talked. Finally our food came out and it was dropped in front of us and she zipped away before we could ask for more tea and soda. I will not go into great detail but our fries were half raw… our burgers were no better than Mc Donanlds (honestly no better) We did ask for our fries to be cooked more and were much better (after waiting 20 minutes) If you are wanting a beer at the bar then this place is for you. If you are wanting a meal? then I wouldn’t recommend The Back 40. Cost wise? It is a cheap place to eat… You get what you pay for.(not even worth the cheap price) Unless they get on the ball this place will go down the tubes fast!
