Jeff and his BACK FORTY BBQ Team travel regularly to compete in contests against the nation's finest barbeque operations.

As one of the nation's Top-24 Barbeque Teams, BACK FORTY has been invited to compete in the National Rib Cook-Off every year since 1991.

The 24-member panel of judges regularly votes BACK FORTY the #1 Barbeque In California and TWICE voted BACK FORTY's Barbeque Sauce as BEST IN THE NATION!

More than 400,000 people attend the 4-day event. After sampling barbeque prepared by all competitors, they voted BACK FORTY's — THE BEST!

To help spread the legend, more BACK FORTY's were needed. So, in 1993, BACK FORTY opened in Shingle Springs, CA, beside Highway 50, on the way to Lake Tahoe. And since 1995, BACK FORTY has been serving Reno-bound travelers at the Roseville, CA location, conveniently situated beside Interstate 80.

In 2007, Back Forty Pleasant Hill became even bigger and bolder with the opening of the 16,000 square-foot Roadhouse & Saloon. Located 20 miles up Interstate 680 from San Ramon, the flagship Roadhouse & Saloon includes a Texas-sized dining room, two bars and a live music & banquet hall.
