Our Texas BBQ Story in North Richland Hills

Our Texas BBQ Story in North Richland Hills

Back Forty Smokehouse started in 2013 in historic Smithfield, now part of North Richland Hills, TX. We opened at 8021 Main St because this old feed store had the local history and small-town feel we wanted. From day one, our goal was simple: serve real Texas barbecue with care.
Why We Chose the Name Back Forty

Why We Chose the Name Back Forty

The name Back Forty comes from the back forty acres of a cattle rancher’s land. That idea means a lot to us. It connects our restaurant to Texas ranch life, hard work, and local roots. We wanted our smokehouse to feel like part of the community, not just another place to eat.
What Makes Back Forty Special

What Makes Back Forty Special

We are locally owned, and that matters to us. Our team cares about the food, the service, and the people who walk through our doors. From smoked brisket and ribs to our full bar and outdoor patio, we built Back Forty Smokehouse to be a place where barbecue and community come together.
