    This may very well be my new favorite spot in south county! Super friendly staff, loads of parking, weekly specials like half price apps and $6 cosmos on Monday. Can't wait to go back! A lively bar area as well as a quiet diningroom. Brussel sprouts were super yummy!

    Burger with a view

    Went to the Back 40 on a Saturday Afternoon. Good place for a Burger and a Beer. I must say the Burger was tasty, the service was good. There where 3 of us and we were all satisfied. Prices are moderate, one thing to consider is it can be very LOUD, so if you are looking for quiet, this is NOT your place. The Burger was so good, I will definitely go back! I'll give it a 4.3 for the TASTY BURGER!

    Mac and cheese

    Ordered take out, boneless chicken bites were very dry with very little sauce, ranch was warm and was not good - would not recommend. Mac and cheese was very creamy, really good.

    When you walk in to an establishment and it has a smell like a 30 year old Applebees I should've turned around. I went to back 40 when they 1st opened and loved it, the ambiance, the food, the service. I moved away and decided to try it again as I always love their pulled pork nachos! What a disappointment the nachos had no cheese and the pulled pork was dry, the cheese sauce used to be so good but it tasted like jar cheese whiz. The server looked like she was on something very aloof and stand offish. The shepards pie was tasteless and all potato, and the tater tots were awful. Sorry back 40 but you've been downgraded to 2 stars, I will not be back

    Second visit. Love the ambiance. Comfy bar seating. Hooks under the bar for your bag are always welcome! Staff are lovely. This time we ordered sandwiches off their seasonally changing Fall menu: chicken sandwich and salmon burger. It took way too long for the food to arrive for the half dozen guests currently in the restaurant, only a few of which were waiting on food. Maybe the kitchen guy is working alone? The chicken was very crispy. The spicy sauce was tasty, but more would have been welcome. The side of fries were warm at best. First taste of the salmon burger was that the salmon had gone bad. The marinated onions have a strong vinegar flavor. My upgraded Ceaser salad wasn't mixed well with the dressing so some of it was a clump of dressing while another was no dressing at all. Didn't eat most of this meal. I still like the ambiance and would like to return, but I'm not sure I'd order food here again. Maybe an app? My top shelf vodka soda was ten and a half. Draft beer was six.

    BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER

    We went for a burger on our way home from the beach area. Started with the buffalo cauliflower. It was ok. Nothing to write home about. We've had better but we've also had worse. I did love the blue cheese crumbles with it so it wasn't just liquid. We both got the southwest burgers. Could've used more guac on the burger and seasoning on the meat, but it was good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back there. But I would also probably look for a different place to eat being in the area as well.

    Boneless buffalo chicken tenders and short rib nachos.

    Stopped for lunch on Sunday, service a bit slow to start but once started was very attentive. There were four of us had some delicious cocktails and short rib nachos and boneless buffalo chicken tenders both were delicious and more than plentiful. Planned on ordering sandwiches but after the apps we were all stuffed. Had to wait a bit for the server to come back and also to get our check but overall good place.

    post a long run at South County Bike Path, we ate here outside with our dogs and had Starters: Back 40 nachos (great) Corn dip Boneless Chicken bites (good) Meal: Back 40 Burger (very tasty)

    Ordered their Bourbon Oak Burger and it wasn't that bad. ($16) Cooked well, soft bun and decent size. Could have used more barbecue sauce and they barely put any onion strings. A big juicy onion ring would've been much better. The fries that came with it were hot and crispy. Almost everybody seemed to be eating a burger or sandwich so that's probably the safe order. It wasn't busy but service was a little slow. Chill atmosphere.

    For once, I checked Yelp for a new breakfast location in my new neighborhood and it obviously did…read morenot disappoint! Mae's Place is such a fun little North Kingstown gem. My partner and I grabbed seats at the bar and immediately felt like regulars thanks to Kelsi. She was so friendly, knew so many people by name, and somehow kept everyone's coffee topped off like a pro. Truly unlimited hot coffee, which is appreciated. The whole place was decked out for St. Patrick's Day and it added such a festive, welcoming vibe. I also loved hearing that they switch up seasonal menu items every few weeks. The staff really leans into it, which makes it feel fresh and fun every time you visit. I ordered a gluten free Johnnycake topped with poached eggs, sausage, and hollandaise, plus home fries. Everything was spot on. Great portions, great flavor, and honestly no need to reach for salt, pepper, or ketchup which says a lot. We both ended up taking leftovers because we were so full. Bonus points for Kelsi sending me out with a to-go cup for my salted caramel iced coffee. Little touches like that go a long way. Also, fun fact, they offer a discount if you pay cash. Already looking forward to going back. Thank you!

    I have been here a few times, each one better than the last!…read more I'm mildly obsessed with the Johnny cakes!
