Back Forty Texas BBQ

If you're hungry for some good barbecue and you are in the area stop by this place. The catfish was good. I loved the decor in the restaurant. I was like a mini museum. The help was very polite and attentive to all my needs The bathrooms were clean. Another awesome point is there located right off the freeway no need to drive through town to try to find them.

Food & service was good, for my taste buds could had used a bit more seasoning. We purchased the family meal & was more than enought food (2 adults & 1 preteen). The corn bread and banana nut bread were amazing!

Service Excellent. Ribs Excellent. Not dry or tough, easy off bone, moist and BBQ sauce really good with nice subtle spice tang. Broccoli and Mac and Cheese, literally best I’ve ever had in a BBQ place, which really surprised me. We are talking perfectly cooked, and in case of Mac, not clumpy, claggy or overly anything. Tri tip, I prefer slightly rare, but also very good. Cornbread very good, great with honey butter which was just right temp for spreading easily. Lastly, price is right. BBQ has gotten pricey but this was a totally fair price and not expensive given above quality IMO. Not only was this place a pleasant surprise, since coming here was an impulses on way home, but it also inspired me to write this review because I’m so impressed and I hope more people find it so it stays.

Sadly this place is no longer the same AMAZING BBQ. Ownership changed. The service was wonderful and new owners are very friendly and attentive. So I hate leaving this review. But had I known this ahead of time we would not have made a special Father’s Day trip up to Shingle Springs. First clue: the parking lot was empty and only four other patrons in the restaurant. We ordered our usual and boy were we shocked. The ribs appeared to be like a store bought package as well as the pulled pork on the sandwich (seemed like it was pre packaged and not homemade) I could be wrong. But that’s our opinion. The cornbread was bland, definitely not back 40’s recipe. The chicken on the rib platter was the best thing according to my husband. The meat brisket was dry and flavorless, The Mac and cheese was

Good BBQ at a good price. Fried chicken was crispy and juicy. Kids ate all of their ribs and brisket. We'll be back
