I met a granddaughter here for a lunch while she was out on spring break and we enjoyed our lunch! It was my first time there and the decor was fun--decorated for St, Patrick's Day. Our server was Chloe and she was most attentive. My granddaughter ordered a Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadilla and I had a Drunken Wet Burrito (with alterations because of my onion allergy). Both were delicious. We split a serving of mud pie for dessert--excellent! I'll bring other family there to dine, for sure! read more

I'm not really sure how to rate this place . Sometimes I go and it's amazing food, other times it's meh. It's a typical sports bar type of a vibe and I believe they do drink specials while games are on and if a certain team scores, etc. The people are always friendly and nice. We sit at the bar area and we're usually greeted right away. One of our favorite things on the menu was the blackened mahi wrap they removed that on their new menu, but we went in there and we were able to get it ordered because they still have whitefish it might've been grouper, but I didn't care. I find that there is inconsistencies with the kitchen. Sometimes we would get the wrap and it would be perfect other times there was hardly any fish and it was mostly lettuce and others it was lacking the other things such as the salsa and the cheese, etc. They have a great taco happy hour. Everything is 4 to 6 dollars from 4 to 6 PM , and this is again sometimes they're amazing and sometimes they're just so so. Overall, for the pricing and the atmosphere and the location, especially for us is a good go to for us. I just wish they were more consistent with the kitchen. All of their well drinks on happy hour is five dollars so that's a good deal right there. Also, they have side orders of things like onion rings and french fries if you don't wanna do a whole basket of it, which is super helpful if you wanna grab a few tacos and just want a little bit of onion rings read more

Trivia Tuesday nights! Food and service has always been friendly, and the layout is reasonably set up with plenty of room to have a big group or dining for two. The menu is on the pricey side, but tasty! The hubs and I seem to get the steak nachos every time we go. It's definitely worth the visit for a date night or a place to come for a few beers and hang out for a bit. read more

Tried Back 40 Urban Fresh this past weekend and I'm glad I did. Great service, great food, great selection of beer, reasonable happy hour prices and a great place to spend that happy hour or watch a game. This is no dive bar though. Clean, updated, interior casual decor. Service was great, everyone was attentive and our food came out quick. Both the veggie wrap and the cheesesteak were delicious. The sweet potato fries were the best I've had. Fried and flavored perfectly and they were almost like planks. Really well executed. We'll definitely make this a stop when we're in the area and I highly recommend you give them a try. read more

DE-LICIOUS! We had the Cuban sandwich with black beans and rice (I thought is was weird that they served it with Mexican rice instead of white rice, but it was good), and the Island Bowl, both of which was packed with flavor. A commodity for some reason in this area. read more

Urban 40 was our Friday lunch date near home Johns and is also in St Johns county. It has the average bar feel. Out side seating, booth and a family style table for roasting and toasting. We both had the jerk chicken salad which was amazing. But watch out for the sour cucumber, alot of vinegar. I would add more jerk chicken to my salad. I even got a happy hour beer. Miller lite is my favorite! Our waiter was on top of everything. I want to come back for a boys night. Urban 40 hit all the marks. Perfection. read more

I can't remember the name of the taco place that was here, but I loved it. I hope this place lives up! Decor is pretty similar. So it didn't. Service was mediocre at best. I ordered the BLT avocado wrap...it was mostly lettuce and wrap. Really disappointing. read more

I don't come by as often as I used to but last time we stopped in for a quick visit, our waiter bought my daughter Reese's which she was tickled by! He even engaged with her in conversation about her favorite book series - dogman. We usually sit outside, but it's cooler out now so we were inside. I wish there was live music more. Been a while since there was a performer there when we were. The drinks and food are always great. Service is top tier. read more

First time here and I will definitely be a repeat customer. I'm gluten free and our server was very helpful telling me what was gluten free and delicious. I had 3 tacos all on corn, the smash burger taco was really so good. The 2 shrimp tacos were also quite amazing. My husband had the buffalo tacos and he loved them but said they were really spicy. read more

We loved their menu. So many fun and different things to try! I had the chimichurri steak salad with homemade jalapeño vinaigrette dressing... delicious! The service was great! We never needed to call our server over for anything. The decor felt very inviting and the booth was comfortable. read more

The service was excellent. Our server very friendly. This is a local dive type bar with decent not amazing food - very plain.

The restaurant closes at 7pm. We arrived for dinner at 6:25pm and were told to leave because they were closing early. Poor management and service and this used to be a weekly favorite of my son's but Back 40 had lost our business forever. We drove 45 minutes to this restaurant on Mothers Day too only to be disappointed. read more

We went for a late lunch there were very few people in the restaurant. Employees included. It took over 30 minutes and we never received our food. People who ordered well after us got their food. The waiter avoided us like the plague never explaining why we were still sitting there with no food! My husband waived him down several times and he pretended like he didn't see. We will never come to your establishment again. By the lack of customers and employees it probably won't be open much longer any way. read more

This location has been a few different restaurants, but Back 40 has found a way to survive. Good weekend sandwich and taco spot.

This place is the best hang out for me and my husband. We enjoy the bar seating, the bartender is great, the drinks and food are delicious. Happy hour prices are the best too. read more

We came back again and the second time was just as good as the first! We sat at a table this time and our server was constantly checking on us and making sure we were enjoying our meal. She was great! I ordered the buffalo chicken sliders (they were part of the game day special which is a burger, chicken, and pulled pork slider, but I was able to get all chicken). The sliders were the perfect amount of spicy, and the sweet potato fries were massive. I also ordered the house salad and couldn't believe how big it was! I just ordered a side portion but it was large enough to be a main. The house ranch was a great dressing to have with it. I'm not a huge fan of ranch in my salad (I usually go for vinaigrette), but our server recommended it as it's not as thick as other ranch dressings, and she was right! I love how casual this place is, yet the food is top notch. It's great for a lazy weekend dinner. read more

Newer place so went with 5 stars because they are really trying and most everything is 5 star. Service was great. Very attentive, never had to go looking for them. Beer selection especially drafts are on point and fresh and lines seemed to be clean! Pretzel was great. Kids meals had a ton of food and could be split for smaller kids . Wrap was good but really wet, tacos had great flavor but the chicken and beef were a little tough. All in all worth a try! Good spot! read more

Just so much more fresh than ordinary places to eat. It was cold when we went, so it made it that much better.

I hate giving a bad review. We waited 15 min before someone came by to greet us and get our drink order. And at least another 15 (probably longer) for the drinks to come. Crazy crazy long wait times. read more

Popped in for fist time on a Sunday afternoon. We found the place bright, quiet and had many options. We sat at the bar and were served efficiently by our waitress, Emma. Started with the avocado app which was delicious and a lil spicy. I ordered the island bowl w/out jalapeños and onion and salad on the side. I enjoyed it and took more that 1/2 home. Hubby ordered burrito and managed to eat the whole thins as he had no breakfast. Everything was fresh and tasty. Emma was a delight. They have a dessert case which had some amazing cakes displayed but we didn't indulge. We will return. read more

It was our first time at the Back 40. We found it fresh and family friendly. Service was good. They had a good selection of craft beers. We came just for lunch but it looks like they have trivia and live music some nights. The mojo tacos had good flavor. I thought the salsa was better than most. The drunken wet burrito was smothered in queso (really can't go wrong with that). Kids plates were plenty filling and tasty. I hope we can make it back for happy hour and live music sometime soon! read more

First time visiting & we will be going back. Our fault for going there on Cinco de Mayo & Friday night- our server was also the host & the table bus (great hustle) he kept up with everyone considering the situation. He was observant of drink refills & knowledgeable about special dietary needs. I never thought of putting sweet potato fries on a corn tortilla but that's what they did & it was delicious. I couldn't eat the pretzel (I'll get a photo next time) but it was huge, fresh, smells amazing (like my husband's grandma makes home made donuts) and he liked it so much that we bought one home for the kids. I personally liked the A frame datil sauce the best. & they have good sweet tea. I could care less about ambiance as long as service is good and food quality is too. read more

This was my first visit since Urban 40 moved into this location after replacing Saucy taco which started out very good but declined as time went on. I really enjoyed the healthy option I chose today. Grilled mahi-mahi wrap was amply filled with fish and flavor profile was well balanced. The pasta salad side I chose was also very good. Interior looks the same as the last establishment so that was an economical take over. I know Urban 40 has a great reputation in St. Augustine and today's lunch confirmed why. Welcome to the neighborhood. read more

Everything here is great! The food, the people and the atmosphere. They get my order right every time. The buffalo chicken wrap with waffle fries is my favorite. I love the Cajun ranch to dip my fries in. My first meal out from surgery actually. It's a favorite for sure! They hooked me up and left a nice note. I can appreciate a restaurant that makes the experience more personable by being thoughtful and relatable. Togo or dine in you definitely won't be disappointed! read more

After trying the OG Saint Augustine location years ago, I was excited to stop by this location after hearing they had a newly refreshed menu. It was a quiet Monday night and I was seated immediately. The ambiance was chill and friendly. I ordered the dynamite shrimp tacos which were served with chips and salsa. The salsa had a subtly-sweet taste which I loved and had some heat to it. These are some of the best shrimp tacos I've had to date simply because the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The shrimp was served on top of a bed of dynamite slaw. The shrimp was seasoned to perfection and hot and crispy. Overall, My total time spent in the restaurant clocked in at just under 20 minutes, and with super speedy service, great waitstaff and delicious tacos, I will definitely be returning. read more

Great lunch today and our service Jimmy was amazing. Thoughtful and efficient. The Cobb salad was amazing and his service just made it better! Not often that you see someone so dedicated and proud of his work! read more

We are a huge fan of Back 40! They have such good menu variety, I can always find something I'm in the mood for. And also an awesome beer list. The jerk chicken caesar wrap is a nice spice up from the regular caesar and usually my go-to!! Shrimp curry salad is delicious. The wet burrito is sooo good but also very large (so great for bringing home half for lunch tomorrow) We can't wait to come for trivia night soon!! This location has gone through a few different restaurants the past 10 years but this is by far our fave and probably why they've been able to stay busy even during Covid. read more

I've only eaten here once and it was due to someone else's suggestion. This is not typically a place that I'd frequent.... But I was quite surprised! The food was delicious! The service was outstanding. No wait at all for a table, but we were there during school hours in a weekday! Would definitely recommend, especially for those who eat 'more on the healthy side!' read more

They had some issues sorting out their hours through COVID, but now they seem to have worked through it and I feel comfortable giving them a hearty endorsement. These guys have gone a full step beyond the old Saucy Taco menu in creativity. Well executed tex mex variety. Good choice of salads, wraps, and bowls. Fresh and healthier than typical bar food. Speaking of bar, their wine down Wednesday is a hit with us because it's actually a good selection, and they basically eat the markup for their promo priced bottles. And their craft beer selection is primo too. Not many places make _both_ of us happy with good wine -and- beer selection. read more

Terrible. Food was mediocre at best. The poor girl serving us was trying to be super sweet but this place is way too small to handle all the drunks, at 7pm on a Thursday. This is NOT a restaurant. It's a drunk bar that happens to serve food. If outrageously loud drunks is what you are trying to fit into, might be a good choice. If you just want one or two drinks with dinner, not even a consideration. I'm all for a good drinking night but I will not be back, even for that. read more

It's a super cute cafe, very eclectic. Staff is friendly and the food is very fresh! Our son ordered the kids Mac and cheese with mandarin oranges and he wouldn't stop raving about it I ordered the avocado and peppers tacos and they were very flavorful and fresh (very saucy, if you don't like sauce or are trying to stay low calorie, ask for the sauce on the side). I also got the sweet potato side, would not recommend unfortunately. It was fresh but there was a chimichurri sauce that I wasn't expecting. I don't like chimichurri. My husband ordered the steak salad. He said, "It should have been called the Big Mac salad." The steak came out like ground beef and it was smothered in dressing. Not what he was expecting. read more

1-star is for the ambiance as it is a cool little spot, food is pretty good But the service smh Arrived with 75% of seats taken and 4 servers on the floor which would keep them at about 4 tables each which shouldn't cause any issues. 6:10 arrived, drink order put in few minutes later 6:25 drinks finally arrived 6:35 ish order taken Then no one returned to check on drinks smh! 7:06 went to bar to get glass of wine 7:16 explained to Mgr? Another server originally told us there was no Mgr working! Isn't that a Liquor License violation? 7:20 got my own water refill at bar 7:27 food arrives (2 burritos, 2 tacos, & kids Mac & cheese, that's all we ordered!!) 7:33 I'm done typing this as I'm eating my meal, finally!! Good lord! Sorry, doubt I can return here! read more

Good food and friendly people. Great selection of food. Casual dining. Give it a try! They offer weekly specials. Inside and outside sitting. Plenty of booth's to choose. Never had anything I didn't like. The Angus Burger is cooked the way you want it. So hard to get real meat these day's. It's delicious! The taco's are great, but the Shrimp Taco with the spicy sauce is my favorite. If you're really hungry try the Drunken Wet Burrito. Yummy! read more
