The meats are consistently tender, juicy, and full of that real wood-smoked flavor that good BBQ is supposed to have. Their smoking process really comes through in the taste :P And when they're on, the ribs are that perfect fall off the bone goodness that makes you stop talking for a second just to appreciate what's happening! What I really appreciate is that the meat usually isn't too fatty. You still get all the flavor and richness, but it feels balanced instead of overwhelming. Also, consistency matters with BBQ, and Slow Hand keeps us coming back because they deliver more often than not. Great smoke, great texture, great flavor. Just straight up satisfying every time :D Nomnomnomnomnomnomnom!!!!

I recently visited Back Forty BBQ in Pleasant Hill after having heard the name for years, being…read morethat the name is always amongst the top bbq restaurants mentioned at Reno's Annual Ribfest. Starting with this restaurant, it is HUGE. There are private dining rooms, bar areas, regular dining areas, and a soon-to-be outside patio. There is no shortage of places to eat at. The ambience is Texas/Cowboy/American themed throughout. The Food. I ordered the Grand Pit with Pulled Pork, Brisket, pork ribs, and an extra order of beef ribs. I also ordered the cowboy steak or ribeye. I had quite a few sides which included the mashed potatoes, baked potato, cornbread, baked beans and dinner rolls. My favorite of the meats was definitely the ribs, both beef and pork, plus the ribeye was amazing. What stood out also was how good the sides were, my favorite being the mashed potatoes, baked potato, and cornbread. The staff incredibly friendly, very efficient, and really made my first experience special. Can't wait to back and try the burger and Reuben they have on the menu

The team was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and accommodating--especially when I needed to change my pickup date. They made everything easy and stress-free. When I came in to pick up the order, everything was perfectly prepared and seasoned.

I was order number 66 and genuinely appreciated everyone who worked on it. You could really tell the care that went into the preparation. I would highly recommend Kinder's if you're looking for high-quality, premium meat and exceptional customer service. Thank you so much to the whole team!

They also added a $4 "beef surcharge" on top of that. They do have a sign posted when you come in that there will be a surcharge, but they don't say how much on that sign or the menu. So, my mediocre steak was $30. I should've just gotten a 12oz steak from the grocery store that's $30/lb and gotten two extra ounces. Mozzarella sticks were just store-bought frozen ones - nothing to write home about. Mac N Cheese was bad, and was an up-charge side for my steak that comes with a side for another $3. Texas toast was just griddled burger bun. My salad came with beets tho, so that was nice, I guess? Ambiance was essentially a greasy spoon vibe with open kitchen, was likely an American diner before. One or two TVs with sports by the bar seating. I've been trying spots around here since moving to the area, and I'll mark this one off as a "no thank you." I wish I would've gotten the ribs to give them a try, but the special steak lured me in and was a swing and a miss. I can eat a lot better for $45 elsewhere.

It's got a…read morehidden gem vibe to it because it's located in the industrial area among some company parking lots. When I first came here, I was warmly greeted right away by the owner. This place really does feel like I'm coming over to one of my good friend's kitchens and they're cooking me food. I truly felt a warm sense of hospitality while eating here. I came here a couple times because I was working in the area. The space itself is not large with a few tables inside. And you go up to the counter and put in your order before sitting down or waiting around for takeout. The first time I came here, I got the lunch special, which was the chopped cheese. It was delicious. The second time I felt like I should actually try their barbecue, which was also good and I'm pretty solid deal specially with barbecue prices these days. I like that they also sell other things from their friends and family. One of the times I bought some baked goods from one of their friends. And I saw that they were selling some custom artwork made by one of the family members in the space as well. Just a great spot that adds to the community and is run by really kind folks.
