Back 40 Texas BBQ Restaurant & Catering

"Buyer Beware. I have been a long-time customer, but this may have been my last visit. I was trying to place my order online but met great difficulty so I called in our order. The hostess I spoke with was friendly and helpful (I thought). But, I wish she had mentioned the locations are owned separately (use different website addresses) and the prices differ a lot. When picking up my order is was at least 30% more than discussed over the phone and when I brought it up I was told tough, their website and menu is blah blah blah and I was looking at the wrong menu/website. Rude and very apparent that this mix-up happens often. Now, let's talk Burnt Ends. Exactly what we received, sliced ends of a brisket burnt to a crisp/old and inedible. Their coleslaw includes apple pieces, which can be delicious, but ours was very watery and must have been from the bottom of the bowl. And another disappointment was the cornbread mini loaves. They tasted terrible and presentation fell apart when try to plate a loaf...went to pieces. I will give KUDOS to the pork ribs!!! They were fresh, perfect, fall off the bone, fantastic!!! I can remember when this place was really great. Sad to see another local favorite bite the dust."

"Place reminds me of home so so damn much it hurts. They got Shiner on tap, and the ribs actually are Texas quality and style. The sides aren't the best, but they ain't awful. But the meat...God them animals died for a good cause. Do you want Texas BBQ? This is the best you're gonna find in Cali hands down. Lucille's is good. But this is authentic and amazing."

"Overpriced for what you get. Brisket was decent BBQ sauce was good. The sides were not pleasant. It's a local restaurant that gets their business from regulars. I won't go back. This is $30 with tip"

"Our waiter was friendly had great service. The atmosphere was nice. Didn’t feel like a chain as Texas road house does. Coleslaw was good and the banana bread was even better. Make sure to get the banana bread with your order. I had the beef and blue. Tasted great the blue cheese went great with the sandwich. Will be back to try other menu items"
