If you're in St. Augustine FL in the area between King St and SR 207 on old dixie/old moultrie rd. GO TO the Back 40 Urban Cafe for lunch or dinner. This local fave. spot is actually an old house! The food, beer, coffee, and service are what makes this place sustainable and locals approved. Carribean-fusion, fresh and BIG on... More

we went here based on the reviews. It's in an old house just like it looks. When you enter the front door, there are only four tables but there are more scattered through the first floor in different rooms. The service was quick and efficient. The menu has several items. We saw diners across from us sharing nachos and it... More

Nor does quaint (a 2.0 score), but the food was good to above average (a 3.5 score). Booth seating was a bit cramped for 4 adults (a 2.0 score). The service was fair, the main setback being our waitress left with my drink to refill it and vanished till my meal was about done (a 2.0 score). I shared my... More

It was a wonderful lunch. The wet burrito with chicken was great. Our group also had the Cuban Sandwich & we enjoyed it. The waitress was friendly, had a good time.

There are not too many places you can go and get a delicious dish every single time. The Back 40 never let's us down..... Fresh food, made to order. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We have discovered a new 'best sandwich' in Saint Augustine, at the Back 40. We asked for their Cuban sandwich with avocado added, and found the combination produces a flavor sensation never before found in a Cuban sandwich. I should know; I lived in Miami for 40 years, and in fact was in Havana the day Fidel Castro came into... More

Writing my review of The Back 40 from the porch of it. Really enjoyed my dining experience, it was a real treat to see what I suspect were the locals and I felt treated as one myself. The Cuban I had was above aboard for most of the places I've had one. The atmosphere is a delight, maybe a tad... More

I went to this place after moving here and found it to be a wonderful atmosphere. The cook made the food to perfection and the waitress (Cody) was very enthusiastic and was on time. There were four of us and not one complaint from anyone in our group. This is truly hard to find when you sit down to eat... More

Don't be fooled by the outside appearance. We read great things about this place but almost chickened out after seeing it. It's small and unassuming but the food is really good. Small, eclectic atmosphere was actually a welcome change from other places we frequent.

We went here one evening on vacation looking for a place that was reasonably priced (no tourist prices!) with healthy options... Now that is hard to find! But we found it at the Back Urban 40! Being sensitive to gluten, this place had options and they were well aware of what foods have gluten. If we were vegan, this would... More
