I absolutely love this place!!! Growing up in Decatur the Back 40 is a taste of home. Throughout the years the staff have always been polite, and on their game. Food is excellent and the pricing is very fair for what u are eating on top of all you can eat buffet. I will continue to celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and even enjoy casual lunches at this wonderful restaurant

My husband and I go thru Decatur every 4 to 8 weeks on our way to and from a church in Anderson. It is our 1/2 way point. We do not miss the chance to eat at the Back 40. Staff has always been very courteous and seem to go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The food is fabulous. Everything always seems very fresh and the rolls are to die for. Go hungry! You will want to try so much of everything there, and there is no way that you can try everything without coming away completely satisfied.
