01 - Our Story

Off the Highway. On the Map.

You won't find us on a glossy main drag. The Back Forty sits right where it ought to - down a country road, past the fields, somewhere between "are we lost?" and "I'm glad we kept driving." It's the kind of place locals brag about and out-of-towners swear they'll come back to.

We build our burgers by hand, pile them high with your pick of Swiss, American, or pepperjack, and add whatever else hits the spot - grilled onions, bacon, a farm egg on top. Our tenders come out crispy, our rangoons come out crackling, and our puff bread is best shared (though we won't tell anyone if you don't).

This is rural Michigan comfort food, served honest. Pull up a chair - or pull up your app.
