10 reviews for Back Forty Texas Bbq
The pork ribs are ok. Not the best I have ever had or anything but totally edible.
I got the ribs with the texas fixings which is baked beans, cole slaw and potato salad... none of which were all that impressive. The other people I was with got the ribs with the CA fixings which is soup or salad and a choice of potato (baked, fries, or mashed). This option looked better I think but the salad was kind of wilted.
All in all it is an ok place. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back however.
This has become one of my families favorite restaurants.
You have to start off with the amazing sweet potato chips or texas toothpicks.
Most folks wouldn't go to a BBQ joint for a salad but the Award winning BBQ Chicken salad is a must have (the 1/2 salad is enough to fill up the average person).
The fresh bread ithey serve with the meal is another piece of heaven that this wonderful place offers
The food is awsome, the prices are great and the people are wonderful.
It is easy to pass by but worth the stop.

The pork ribs are bad. Not the best I have ever had or anything but barely edible. I got the ribs with the baked beans, cole slaw and potato salad... none of which were impressive. Save your money. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back however.
Great pork ribs and a killer sized stuffed potato.
We spent an afternoon in Coloma - seeing the sights where gold was first found in California, wandering into old buildings from the late 1800s and visiting a museum where teeny tiny dresses and shoes from the women of that time were displayed. After all that we wanted to get back to the present in a hurry.
What better way is there to forget about a time where people wore size 0 and rode in slow, horse drawn carriages than to head to a restaurant where SUVs line the parking lot and 5 servings of meat are eaten by one person.
The food here was awesome. We went at 5 PM and each ordered the early bird dinner plate [available before 6 pm], which includes, a huge portion of chicken, three pork ribs, and a mammoth sized beef rib. There's a choice of sides - the Texas style fixin's [potato salad, coleslaw, and beans] or California style fixin's [soup and salad]. Both meals came with a choice of three kinds of bread. I had the roll which was a bit stale but the Mr's banana nut bread was so good. If I went back I'd order a full order of the pork ribs. The menu says that they're award winning and I'd say that's no lie.
Service is quick and napkins are plentiful. The prices are significantly more than they were in the gold panning days. Our bill came to 25$ for two, not including tip. Burgers and salads are in the 8-10$ range and the bigger plates of meat start at 12$.
Gold boys, gold!

When travelling, its hard to know where to stop for e meal... I ususally end up at a framchise since the food will at least be familiar.
Last weekend I visited some friends in Placerville. They took me to a great barbeque! It is a classic Texas barbeque with the sauce on the side and real tender meat that was not greasy. I like Armadillo Willy's here in the bay area and this place reminded me of them. Service was good and the food was good. I would question the serving of refroed beans instead of Texas barbequed beans, but they are hard to come by-- especially if you are a small restaurant in the Sierra foothills. I will stop again on my way to Tahoe!
My wife and I stopped here on the way back from Lake Tahoe. I found the place on the internet and planned the stop ahead of time. When we arrived there the place was empty with 2 other tables occupied.
Its not overly fancy place but more down to earth what you would expect from a BBQ place.
Service was excellent and the waitress was very attentive. We ordered a plate of Pork Ribs with California fixin's and Beef Ribs with Texas Fixin's.
The soup of the day was Corn Chowder was very good and my wife loved it. The ribs were so tender falling off the bone and melting in your mouth
Beef Ribs were also very tender, Cole slaw was very good, Baked beans I found a little on the spicy side. Dinner rolls were fresh and good.
For desert we had the Banana Pudding and Bread Pudding, both were very good
I would highly recommend this place. I would actually give this place 4.5 stars. Close to 5 however not quite the best I have ever had.
I had the Back Forty cater my sons first birthday party this past weekend. I ordered the "Bosses Special" Three kinds of meat, BBQ Chicken, BBQ Pork Ribs, and Sliced Beef. Green Salad, Fruit Salad, BBQ Beans,roll, drinks and cookies. I wanted to like it. I really did. It was so easy to call them up and have them deliver the spread for 30 people. However, the salad was wilted, the fruit tasteless and the rolls Dry. My favorite and everyone Else's was the sliced beef. Tender, juicy and delectable. Needless to say the sliced beef was gone in no time. The price was right and the service was excellent. I just wanted the food to be a bit fresher and have more flavor. Next time I cater maybe I'll just get the sliced beef and make my own sides.

My mom had a recent event catered by Back Forty at a park. They came with their yummy brisket and short ribs. They also brought chicken but I am more partial to the beef and pork myself. I also enjoyed the corn on the cob but I could have done without the pasta salad and HUGE tub of red onions. I am not sure why there were red onions at all. There was a green salad but I didn't have any. The bread was pass-up-able too. The cookies were really yummy though. We had enough left over to feed a whole crew for dinner and my mom sent home leftovers with almost anyone who would take them. Overall a success!

My husband and I had dinner at Back Forty Texas BBQ this week and it was very good. It's a bit pricey, but if you choose a meal in the Lone Ranger's section, you'll get a good deal. We'll go back.
