Usually make it here at least once during any trip to the area. Burgers are good. There are other things on the menu, most of which are fried but still good. Casual, kick back atmosphere.

Being that I live in the area, I frequently stop by the Back Forty. I have NEVER had a bad experience here. I have eaten at this place probably 150 times. My wife always eats the Rail Splitter. It is the "BarnBuster" pattie, cooked to perfection, served with a side salad, fries and a pickle. The side salads are always... More

The Back Forty has been in business for many years and for good reason, they serve one awesome hamburger cooked to one's specification. The staff is very prompt and friendly too making for a great dining experience. Whenever I want a hamburger, I head to this restaurant.
