We have always been fans of Back Forty BBQ for years. They have consistently great BBQ in a warm and inviting atmosphere. Guess what? This last year or so they have upped their game by adding some excellent entree choices. While hard to crack the bbq rib habit, I can't wait to try some of the other items on the menu. The wait staff greets you as you come in the door and are always friendly, efficient, polite without "hoovering" at your table. A recent move closer to the area will assure this will be among our first dining choices. read more

My experience here at Back 40 Texas Barbecue was very positive. In about thirty minutes or so after eating I could not finish my entire plate even though the food I ordered tasted super good. If you guys get a chance to meet Kevin as your waiter you will enjoy his service. I got a chance to speak with Galina also. The reason I feel like their cornbread is by far the best is because when I bite into it I just taste deliciousness all around. Last night when I came here I told Kevin I wanted the turkey with trip tip along with mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce added as the sides. Whoever made these mashed potatoes really knows what they are doing. A side of mashed potatoes I rate an 11 cornbread 10 for 10 and turkey with tri tip a 10 out of 10. Don't freak out by the looks of their cornbread at first glance, once you try it your going to want to order plenty for everyone. Thanks guys. And the manager credit to you also at Back Forty. read more

We finally made it to Back 40, and it did not disappoint! We ordered the beef ribs, pork ribs, and tri-tip, and every one of them was outstanding. The beef ribs were huge, incredibly tender, and packed with smoky flavor. The pork ribs were the best I've had in a long time--cooked to perfection with just the right amount of bite. The tri-tip was juicy, flavorful, and sliced perfectly. We also shared a baked potato and the mac and cheese, and both were the perfect sides. The atmosphere has a fun country vibe, right down to the cowboy hat-wearing servers. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. We were greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we walked in, and the experience ended with our leftovers boxed up and a genuine invitation to come back again soon. Great barbecue, friendly people, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to return. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was disappointed with my experience here. The sliced beef brisket tasted more like corned beef than authentic smoked BBQ, which was not what I expected. The "Hearty" option was only slightly more food for an additional $12, making the price difficult to justify given the portion and overall quality. Unfortunately, I didn't feel that either the flavor or the value lived up to the price. If you're looking for authentic BBQ flavor and a better overall dining experience, I would recommend trying another BBQ restaurant. read more

We were able to try to this location again. My family picked it for our Saturday night dinner spot. We arrived earlier before the crowds around 4 pm. Surprised how busy they were for early dinners or maybe others had a late lunch. This time I tried a different sandwich. I think the menu said it had beef brisket, french fried onions, blue cheese and blue cheese spread. Glad it arrived with the spread on the side. But it was very good. I didn't see regular French fries on their menu. We asked after very friendly server said they had regular fries. I already ordered a baked potato. I love most all potatoes. It was very good they did not hold back on the butter and sour cream! I was very happy. Clean restaurant, very friendly servers and everyone enjoyed their meals. Everyone really loved their bread sides. My husband got the banana bread let me try some very good. read more

Came with the family to celebrate a birthday and had a great time! It was our first time and we were so happy with the appetizers and the butchers block we ordered to share. Our server Kevin was great and we got a visit from the owner Galina and the whole team when they sang Happy Birthday at the table. 5/5 will recommend to family and friends and will definitely come back again! read more

I went here for lunch a weekday. It has the lodge frontier look to it. I was quickly greeted by the staff, as I entered. It was very quiet. There was only one other diner. I was quickly seated. The the waiter was comically over eager. He was like one of the young comedians from the nineties. I asked about the portion sizes and started ordering.. brisket, granny coleslaw, garlic potatoes, corn bread and an iced tea. The waiter did make funny comments while I ordered. I was served relatively quickly. I got the corn bread first, it was not that great. I got my drink next. I then got the main dish. I ordered the larger size, akin to average +. The garlicky goodness from the potatoes hit my nose, mmm. The brisket was in average form, leaning to a roast beef texture. The taste was beefy and good and moist. The provided sauce did not do it for me. The coleslaw was great to balance it out. The staff seemed to be in a hurry, yet were very attentive and friendly. If they tweaked their cook and added offered other sauces they could have a home run. read more

I like the atmosphere in this place. Always wanted to try this business. Came here with my wife for dinner. The host and ser er were friendly and helpful. The request for water brought us 2 large mason jars of ice water and a wedge of lemon in each. Nice touch, no need to ask for refills. My wife got the brisket nachos. Plentiful portion, it would be better if the BBQ sauce was on the side as there seemed to be a bit too much of it already on the food. I ordered a full slab of beef ribs, with the thought I would bring some home. They were tasty, and were tender in the middle but too dry and crisp on the outer portion of all of them. (See photo) I included a caesar salad and Mac and cheese as sides. Salad gets 5 stars. Fresh and crispy greens, dressing on the side. Mac and cheese was okay but the macaroni texture was a bit soft for my taste. Wife ordered a house margarita and I had a MaiTai. Margaritas came first. It was way too sour to drink and we sent it back. My drink came 5-7 minutes later. It was okay. Wife did not reorder a drink and they took hers off the bill. Overall not a horrible experience, but I probably will not be back. Really my best advice as a grill master and frequent rib cookoff participant, do not let the ribs dry out! read more

Came in today with my grandma for lunch. I got the tri tip petite plate and a side salad with a side of ranch dressing and a side of seasonal vegetables and I got some biscuits with butter the food was so good like it always is and I also got an unsweetened iced tea it's always so good just like there food. Our service was very good Glinda our waitress was very nice and helpful and made sure we were well taken care of. As soon as we walked into the restaurant we were welcomed in and also when we were leaving as well the same guy at the front was nice to us. We were also able to seat at the booth table we normally seat at even though they were seating everyone on the other side of the restaurant that was so nice that they did that for us. The restaurant was very clean and even smelled super clean as well. I have been coming here my whole life and I will continue to do so and continue to tell everyone I know about this place. If you haven't been here yet I highly recommend checking it out. read more

For most people, I'd say Back Forty should earn 5 stars. I'm neurodivergent, have a trait, HSP. I process scents and tastes (and sounds and lights) more deeply than most. And I greatly dislike any smoked food. I skipped tri tip because they smoke it. I opted for prime rib. Turns out, it's smoked, too. Or, it has a strong flavor of it. It bothers me a lot. So for that, I'm probably not going to return. However, the building is super fun to enter, inside I like it is nicely lit and decorated. Frances, she was great. The young man answering the phone doesn't have a clue about the menu. When I arrived, there were way too many staff and I'm wondering if any besides the lead really know the menu (weights and how cooked). Not same standards I was raised with and I'm not that old! My recommendation to the company is to place the weights of meat portions on the menu. And mark how it's prepared (smoked, smoke flavoring added, grilled) and cook temperatures available (rare, medium, medium rare, etc) because your employees don't have a clue. The price for my 8 oz prime rib, 2 sides, and bread was quite fair, $23 or so. Bummed that reviews say cornbread isn't good. Frances hinted it's not great, so I said surprise me (I didn't want white bread). The banana bread (no nuts) was delicious but my cornbread craving can never be satiated enough. lol! I loved the fried okra. read more

Beef ribs full rack was spot on. Meaty and exceeded expectations. Tritip though was a total rip off. $27.00 for this! Picture on grub hub showed 10 thin slices of meat. Actually got 5 thin slices...total ripoff. Sides were fair... read more

Back Forty Texas BBQ did not disappoint! We tried the pulled pork, hot links, salad, potato spuds, and jalapeño poppers--everything was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of smoky goodness. The jalapeño poppers were a standout, packed with flavor and just the right kick. The only thing we didn't love was the okra, but with everything else being so fantastic, it didn't even matter. Great service, great food, and a great experience. We'll definitely be back! We had Frances for a server and she was really sweet and kind and nice and the whole inside and outside just looks great read more

We are regulars here, now. Galinda and Tim have re-mastered the place to include outstanding staff (Kevin should give classes at the local junior college), a great atmosphere , and 14-hour smoked brisket and ribs that melt in your mouth! We have brought friends, family, and business associates and plan to use their amazingly flexible catering skills (parties from 30 to 300) at our next gathering. Most recently, we went and got burgers, just cause we were in the mood. Hands down , the BEST burger around. Truly "cooked to order" (medium rare WAS medium rare) with big slices of tomato and onion and fresh leafy lettuce on a bun that was toasted and actually held together throughout the entire drippy, yummy, juicy burger-eating process. I had yummy Mac & Cheese and my BF had Texas Steak Fries that were really good (I hijacked one or two). This is now our go-too burger place as well as our barbecue must-have joint. read more

Back Forty Texas BBQ - BEST BURGER IN TOWN! - Barbeque Near Me - Roseville, California

Back Forty Texas BBQ has been one of my absolute favorite BBQ spots in all of California for the past 15 years. My family and I have been loyal customers for over a decade, and we keep coming back because it's just that good. Ever since the Orlov family took over a couple years ago, the restaurant has taken things to an entirely new level. The quality of the food, the attention to detail, and the customer service have all significantly improved. You can really feel the pride and care they put into running this place. The beef brisket is simply incredible...tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Honestly, all of their dishes hit the mark. While takeout is great, I always recommend dining in. The atmosphere of the restaurant, combined with the warm service, makes for a full experience you just can't get from a to-go bag. If you're craving real BBQ, Back Fortu is a must.. read more

After a 5.5 hour drive all the way from LA, I was excited to dine here as the last time I was here, the Prime Rib was very memorable. We came here 4 years ago during Covid and I definitely remember how good flavorful and tender the Prime Rib was. This time around, we strolled in on a Sunday night and I ordered the 16oz. Prime Rib to share with the wife. We got the corn bread and garlic mashed. The Prime Rib came out and man, what a let down. I asked for it to be cooked medium rare. I came out well done and I can definitely taste that it was teetering on being dry. There wasn't much flavor to it like the previous time. The meat texture was like pot roast. Very grainy and not appetizing at all. The corn bread was dry and dense. I remember it was nice and fluffy. One thing I did enjoy was the warm rolls they give you when you get seated. We also ordered the juicy brisket and pork ribs. The brisket was not tender at all and very chewy. I am not sure if it was not sliced correctly, but it didn't have much flavor and chewy. The pork ribs were on the dry side, but the sauce was good. Other than our server, this visit was a definite disappointment and I probably will not come back here when driving up to Napa. So sad that the food quality fell off. read more

All was amazing. Been 5 years since I've been here. It feels like it had gotten better. No complaints and then servers have been friendly. Absolutely will come again. read more

Back Forty doesn't play around. You walk in and the smell grabs you by the collar--wood smoke, meat, something sweet and tangy lingering in the air. It's not subtle. It's also not optional. You're eating BBQ now. We got the tri-tip sandwich because obviously. Tender, juicy, kissed with just the right amount of char. The roll held it together like a champ until it didn't, which is when things got spiritual. Saucy fingers. Zero regrets. Chef's kiss doesn't even cover it. Also grabbed the pulled pork potato skins, which are somewhere between appetizer and full-blown life choice. Crispy, cheesy, porky little boats of happiness. Hot enough to hurt your mouth if you're impatient--and I was--but worth it. Now. The garlic mashed potatoes. I don't even know what to say. Those puppies were silky, savory, buttery perfection. Garlic present, but not aggressive. If I had a tub of this at home, I'd skip dinner and just eat it standing at the counter like a goblin. So good. We come here often. This place has its priorities straight. read more

I arrived around 3pm. So keep that in mind. I will say, coming in, everything smelled wonderful. The woman at the front desk was really nice. Answered all the questions I had. I offered the trinity, because I just couldn't make up my mind. I got the garlic mashed potatoes and the Mac n cheese. And a cornbread roll at the recommendation of the woman in the front. I took this to go, as I was in the middle of a class. The food came out within 5 minutes. I was only about a 3 minute drive away, so it's not like I drove for 45 minutes before eating this. The Mac n cheese was soggy. Like, the noodles were overcooked. It was pretty meh. The mashed potatoes were just okay. The chicken was dry. I actually gave it to the dogs. The brisket was really dry. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious though. Again. I came at 3pm. So maybe it was an odd time to come. Everything is old from lunch or something? I would come back for the ribs. Maybe I would try the brisket again but come at a more normal eating time. read more

Been going there since it first opened. Sad to say won't go again. Our server was excellent. We went several months ago and was disappointed in the food. Husband usually gets the brisket and I the pork ribs. His brisket was okay but my ribs tasted old and chewy. Nothing like before. Thought we would give it another chance. This time ribs were worse. Not tender and over cooked. Also ordered corn on the cob. I was shocked when it came out. As a server I would have been embarrassed to bring it out. It was small and half the kernels were not there. I used to brag about back forty. Even used it for a couple of catering events. No more. The building has been refreshed and nice and comfortable but it's always about the food. Not anymore. So sad to see these changes. read more

This place is a scam. We went for dinner for Valentine's Day and our total was $60. We added the tip and the total was $67. 2 days later I checked my bank statement and they charged me $77. That's highly unethical and awful. The waiters are sleeky and dishonest. I do not recommend supporting a place with such malpractice! read more

Food; We ordered a ribeye steak with garlic mashed potatoes and salad. We also ordered a salmon (very dry lacking taste saturated in BQ sauce) with the same the same sides. Plus two drinks. The total bill $118.00 tip included. The bill didn't fit the quality of food served. The reviews from previous visitors rang truth that the meat(s are dry and over cooked. Service; The waiter and staff were nice and welcoming. Ambiance; The restaurant was clean inside and out lots of seating. I do not recommend this restaurant because it's too over priced for what you receive in food and service. read more

We love this place and highly recommend anything on the menu! Every time we take someone there they love it too! The service is great, very nice and always helpful.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of commercials for Burger King's brisket whopper. Sounded good to me and it looks so good in the pictures. Looks good but you know it's Burger King. Is it really that good? Not feeling like cooking tonight I called a to go order to the Backfourty Texas barbecue. I called and ordered a brisket sandwich. I was greeted on the phone by Wesley. Very friendly and helpful with my order on the telephone. When I got to the restaurant and went inside, he looked at me with a big smile and asked if he could help me. I said I came to pick up an order and he asked if it was for a sandwich and I said yes and he says I'm the one who took your order. I had to wait a moment while the people ahead of me were paying for their meal and then a woman had to change the paper in the cash register. She was very sweet and we got into a couple minute conversation while she worked. She was extremely friendly and made the wait fun. When she was done, Wesley came back to check me out. While he was running my card also very sweet and I enjoyed the couple minutes. I had talking with him. He's new to the restaurant and I can already tell he's going to be a great addition to their already wonderful staff. I come here every few months And everything I've ever had here is really good, but I usually go for the juicy brisket. My boyfriend and his brother love the ribs. They always get a half rack of ribs and sometimes a whole rack just so they can have leftovers. If you've been here before you know how great it is and if you haven't been, and you're reading this to see if it's someplace you would like. I say go for it. You won't be disappointed. read more

We recently had our daughter's wedding catered by Back 40 Texas BBQ, and from our very first visit to the restaurant all the way through the reception, their team was nothing short of wonderful. They were thoughtful, attentive, and somehow managed to meet every need, want, and "just one more little request" with a smile. The food was absolutely delicious -- we're still hearing rave reviews from our guests (some may have gone back for seconds). The staff was professional, kind, and made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better team to help make our daughter's special day so memorable. read more
