“College atmosphere, mostly college kids. The place is simple and not a lot of decor but the food is really good! Great wings!We are long past college age but would definitely recommend.Parking: In a plaza, so parking is probably hit or miss during peak hours.We went at 6:30 when some of the shops were closed. So we found a parking spot with no problem.“
“I'm updating my original review because of my experience tonight. I love Back 40, and we used to go relatively frequently; the food and cocktails are great. I normally have great experiences with the waiters and waitresses, and tonight was no exception (honestly it was one of the best) until the check came. We used a gift card, which is unusual for us, but it was a Christmas gift. The waitress, who had been exceptional up until that point, felt the need to highlight the total before the gift card and add a large pink arrow to it to make sure she was tipped properly. It felt really crappy to be treated like an idiot. I get it, people in the area might not always pay attention, and tip inappropriately with a gift card, but not everyone does. I was planning on tipping with the cash I had on hand (that was well above 20% of the total) because of how good the service was. I ended up tipping 20% on the card and left dinner feeling crummy. It left a horrible taste in my mouth and I don't really want to go back. I'm leaving my original overall 5 star review, because one frustrated server doesn't represent the entire restaurant, but I also want them to know when a server is alienating customers. If inappropriate tipping with gift cards happens so often that servers resort to this, maybe management should find a way to make sure the original total is on the card receipt.“
“Very affordable good seafood. The lobster salad was amazing!!! Fresh large pieces of lobster with tomatoes, avocado and blue corn chips. I ate the entire plate! Really fresh and tasty. My husband ordered the seafood chowder and it was good. In would agree with the other reviews that it was a little salty. For the main course I had the grilled salmon with crab cake. It was a lot of food. The salmon was very very good and the salmon was good. Too much food. My husband had the stuffed shrimpAnd he ate everything on his plate. It was also very good. For cocktails I had the grapefruit martini ?. I really enjoyed it. Tasty and not too sweet. My husband has the very (black berry?) old fashioned and it was also very good. We will definitely return. The service was also very friendly and attentive.“
