Maybe a different dipping sauce instead of Ranch would of made it even better. Jerk chicken was great andthe chocolate mouse cake was delicious as well. I would recommend this place;

There's no consistency aside from the contemptuous attitude of a certain server who has been there for way too long. I've been going here regularly for years and am under the strong impression that theowners are not that great to work for. Especially now that there is a sign on the door complaining about limited workforce...essentially blaming anybody but themselves for their poor service and unreliable quality. Plenty of restaurants here are doingjust fine. PAY your staff better and hire a REAL manager to run your business. Any time I see the owners there they are justslowing things down and getting in everybody's way. Wake up!

Don't let its humble exterior fool you, this is place is worth the visit! My friend and I were coming off the final leg of a road trip. We were starving but not in the mood to dress up for a night out. Yelp steered us to Back 40 and it sounded like exactly what we needed. The location itself is small but not cramped. There were several tables available but we opted to sit at the bar. The two girls working were so friendly and inviting! There were several locals also eating around the bar and they were very friendly as well. The walls are covered in art by local artists (available for purchase). The vibe in here was great to us and that was before we even ordered food. Happy hour is from 3-6 so we took advantage of that for a couple of drinks. On the enthusiastic recommendation of the staff I got the Thai shrimp salad which I am still dreaming about. The house made dressing is to die for! Needless to say, we were highly impressed. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent food and super reasonable prices. Two people, two meals, two drinks, $42.

Tried a Mango Cart wheat beer from Golden Road. Delicious! Hans said they sell it at Publix, went over there promptly and got a 12 pack and trying the guava as well. So unusual! Thank you Hans.
