Very friendly owner! We got the ribs lunch plate with Mac salad, potato salad with chicken! Great portions! We wish the ribs were cooked longer, they were on the tough side! The chicken was really good and the sauce was tasty! The roll we were given didn’t taste fresh, more stale than anything!

Stopped here for lunch with several friends after a Saturday morning hike in the Auburn area. I must say the barbecue was some of the best I’ve eaten in Nor Cal. I ordered the 2-Way Lunch Combo, which consisted of ribs, chicken and two sides: BBQ beans and coleslaw. The ribs and chicken were tender with a savory sauce and smoky flavor. The sides complemented the entree nicely.

The meat here is AWESOME!!! Real oak fire slow cooked meat. For such quality food this is a good value. My only regret is not going here more often. I love the lunch specials. We have used the catering platters and they are great for groups. You won’t be disappointed for supporting this small business.

I have never had a bad experience here. The ribs are as good as any I had when I lived in Nashville . The meat is so tender you can eat it without teeth. The owner, cook and all-round everything else is so kind and gracious. He seems to always remember you and what you order. I never like to go elsewhere.

I like flavor with my food, so seasonings were missing, but they were cooked just right. The tri tip sandwich was bomb. I just wish I had some horseradish to go with it.

This unassuming, hole-in-the-wall place is awesome! We love everything we get here — ribs, chicken, links — and all the fixin’s! The smoker in the parking lot smells divine, too! We’ve tried other local BBQ places and this beats them all, hands down.
