So, I had a delightful lunch with a group of friends. None of us had ever been here. There was 1 in our group from Pacifica, 1 from SF, 1 from Dublin and 2 from Contra Costa. This was our 1st time there and let me tell you, you gotta be really hungry to eat there, and even if you... More

I had eaten at Back Forty about 15 years ago when I first moved to the area. Since then, they moved to a new building, and I've been meaning to go again. I hadn't been impressed the first time, and I was even less impressed this time. I found the flavors bland. Even the "hot" sauce had barely a hint... More

Good service good food. No surprises, the food and service are both fast and freindly. I prefer to BBQ at home but when pressed for time this has been a good alternative. More

Came in a little late on a weekday. Sat in the Bar area, Waiter was friendly & knowledgable. ( he knew his wines or the wines they served, which is always a plus to me ) Food was excellent and left with a smile because of the service. More

My wife and I ate there last night after waiting almost 40 minutes. Place is very busy but they don't rush you at all once you are seated. Staff very friendly. We ordered pork ribs, lean sliced beef and sausage. The meat was flavored nicely and cooked just right. The side dishes were coleslaw, beans, Mac and cheese and sweet... More

While I prefer Smokin' Okies down the street on some occasions, it's mainly based on price. Back Forty is a legitimate mainstay in Pleasant Hill, having been a locally owned joint for many, many years. Obviously there is a reason for that. Their food is excellent, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is laid back and relaxed - just... More

If you are in the mood for barbeque The Back Fourty offers a good food served in a pleasant atmosphere with decent service at reasonable prices. The senior’s dinners which include an entre, 2 sides, and desert and are priced at $9 to $12 are an extremely good value. This place tends to get busy and parking is tight, but... More
