Here's what some of our customers are saying about dining at Back Forty:

To the Back Forty Restaurant Gang,
My wife and I have eaten a lot of BBQ, all across the state, and hands down, your Texas Style  Barbeque is the best we've had anywhere!  Who knew that you'd make Pleasant Hill barbeque headquarters of the Bay Area! It's a special treat for us everytime we plan dinner at Back Forty. Keep up the great work!
- Rick and Chris K.

 

For my family in Walnut Creek, barbeque is serious eating.  After hearing about Back Forty Texas BBQ, we decided to try the Family Feast on a recent visit. What a value!  The Texas style got rave reviews.  We’ll be back for more.  – The Peter B. family 

 

Hello,
Last night was our first visit to the Back Forty Texas BBQ Pleasant Hill restaurant. We were amazed at the selection and service you provided us but I'd like to tell you it was the most mouth-watering BBQ we've had in good long time. We can't wait to get back to your place and until then we're telling everyone we know about Back Forty Texas BBQ. Good stuff!
-  Mark S.

 

Man,you guys make good BBQ! We’ve tried most Walnut Creek restaurants and thought we’d try a Pleasant Hill restaurant for a change. A bunch of us stopped by to give your restaurant a try and are we glad we did. It just became a top spot for our Weekly Dine-out Group.
