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.

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.

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.

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

I lived in Texas for 7 years. This place dares to call itself a "Texas BBQ." I have been there twice just to make sure I didn't catch them on a bad day. Nope. Both times lousy. In fact their meat is so terrible, I am suspicious that they do not even use a smoker. Save your time and money and pass on this dump.

Great service and scrumptious food. We were a party of three. I ordered the sirloin steak, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. Everything was cooked perfectly. Perfect medium rare steak and the steak sauce was very tasty. The cornbread was Amaaaazing! I haven't had good cornbread from a restaurant in so long. I also tried some of the fried okra which was really delicious. Judy, our server, was so sweet, friendly and very attentive. We all look forward to visiting again. Keep up the great work!

Great food and service. Judy Is our favorite waitress and she is great! The ribs are so good both beef and pork and the sides are good as well. They have loaded potato skins that are a meal within themselves. They also do a great birthday song if you are celebrating a birthday. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

I wish that I could give Back 40 BBQ 10 Texas stars because their staff is awesome along with serving excellent smoked meats especially given this area. The owner is a total sweetheart who is in touch with their customers. I absolutely recommend this place 100%. Don't miss out on some of the best BBQ in the Sacramento area. Their fried okra is to DIE for... keep up the good work!
