We conceived a culinary haven that fuses the soul-soothing comfort of Southern soul food with the cutting-edge creativity of modern American cuisine. Our vision was born from a desire to pay homage to the rich culinary traditions that have fed generations while embracing the evolving tastes of a diverse community like Nashville.
When it comes to your next event, let us take care of the food with our delicious and expertly crafted catering options featuring a wide range of dishes that are sure to please any palate.
At our restaurant, we strive to offer the best possible dining experience. With the added convenience of online ordering, you can now enjoy the same great food from the comfort of your own home.
OrderThe Back 40 is a Modern American restaurant located at Union Street and 3rd Ave in the heart of Nashville across from Printer’s Alley and Nashville Public Square. Located near several hotels, we are the perfect hearty dinner spot before a night out on Broadway. During football season, have some pre-game drinks before hopping on the nearby Tennessee Titans shuttle pick-up.
Whether you're celebrating a milestone, hosting a corporate event, or just gathering with friends, our restaurant is the perfect setting.
Our restaurant is also equipped with a walk-in seating option for those who did not make a reservation.

Phenomenal! Pork belly was amazing. Tried the Rooster, fried Cat Fish, Bacon wrapped meatloaf , the bread basket with carrot cake jam and the Tennessee Budino!!!! 🫶🏻🤤 definitely will be back. Love music
The salmon was to die for! It was so thick a full of flavor. The loaded baked potato was twice baked and amazing! My husband had the meatloaf and it had a bot of a twist, he loved it. Mashed potato's and Macncheese were good too. Loved the vibe and everyone was very friendly.
Great food and great service! The bourbon glazed salmon and the sauce with it was delicious. Recommend also getting the boursin whipped potatoes as a side. They were fantastic!! For dessert, we had the Tennessee Budino, which was exquisite! Will definitely be back!
