The Back 40 burger is great. I frequently get the Ms Piggy, and it's awesome too. I appreciate that you can get 1/2 orders of the fries, mushrooms, wings, etc, . This night I choose to try the chili dog, but the bun was mostly soggy, so I wasn't super impressed, and will stick with the burger or Piggy. And for a bonus, you get to self serve a basket of popcorn from the popcorn machine to munch on while you wait for your food!

The food was plain nasty. The beer battered onion rings tasted like old grease and they were so gross, not eatable. My husband had a chili burger and it was the nastiest food I have ever eaten it tasted ruined, 4 people taste tested my husbands food and it turned all of our stomachs. I tasted my son’s burger and it had no taste just grease. I had the chicken strip meal, the salad was room temp warm, salad is usually chilled, the chicken strips were also not good no taste and fried hard, I got a very small amount of fry’s and they didn’t taste done Frozen type gross. The jalapeno poppers cream cheese were not bad if you like lots of breading on them. Would I try this restaurant again No. the sodas and tea were great and the waitress was nice. And last but not least the ranch dressing looked

First off the staff 10/10 very friendly and nice. That being said I ordered the Mountain Greenery and the menu made it sound a lot appealing than it was lol. The salad was warm the ranch was yellow and tasted sour and the ham was chopped up lunch meat. It was disgusting and I'm seriously thinking about contacting the health department. My father in law got the chili burger and I tasted it and literally held back from puking and after that I did not eat the rest of my salad. It was that bad. Tried to talk with the manager or owner about it but got the feeling she didn't care to hear about how disgusting the food was. Definitely will not be going back. The soda and cheese sticks were ok tho.

Ordered two bowls of chili to go from The Back Forty in Mountain Home and had a great experience. All the ladies working were extremely friendly, professional, and helpful. They offered toppings, crackers, utensils, and napkins without me even having to ask. The chili was delicious, the prices were excellent, and the atmosphere was laid back and welcoming. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re in Mountain Home

Neat little place that's been around since 1980. The Barnbusters are what they call the burgers. Burgers were great. Fries ehhh.
