It is hard to rate a BBQ place based on just one visit, one meal. I’d like to try some other meats from here, but it is a bit out of the way for me to visit often. So, first visit, I tried a brisket sandwich with French fries. The meat was very tender and flavorful, and more of it than I expected. Unfortunately, a rather dull roll was disappointing. Just not very good. The meat came without sauce, which I liked, but there were just two sauces available at the table. One was sweet, the other wasn’t labeled. A bit disappointing. Counter service was fast, not particularly friendly, just disinterested and in a hurry even though I was the only person placing an order. I wouldn’t consider coming back, but the meat itself was great and I want to try some other options
We like to visit new places during certain months. December is one of those months, since traveling to and from family members for the holidays is a time consuming matter. I have watched this place as the students at Sacramento city college and the take out crowds are consistent and large. There is also a stage for live music and large screen TV's for sporting events. IMHO the food is good to just ok. Portions for bbq are modest. I ordered a plate of 2 meats (there is an option for 3 meats). You can order chicken, pulled pork, hot links, brisket, ribs and tri-tip. The last three meats can only be ordered on the 3 item plate option. I ordered the hot links and pulled pork. The pulled pork needed some vinegar marinade. I am use to North Carolina and Texas pulled pork. The hot link was good and spicy, but there was only 1. Portions were lacking for price. My wife ordered the chicken and pulled pork. The sides she selected were the baked beans and potato salad. I sampled both the sides. The baked beans were unique. A cross between regular baked beans and sweet bbq sauce added. The potato salad was homemade. Big chunks of potato with a nice mix of onion, celery and mayo and other items. My sides were grilled asparagus (premium item add 2.00) and a salad with a vinaigrette dressing. Hot bread/buns were included. Drinks include fountain and beer In all an ok experience. One of the big drawbacks was unlike other bbq restaurants, they only offered two different types of bbq sauce, smokey bbq and a spicy sauce. Both were good though. The spicy bbq sauce having lots of kick.
I ordered the 2meat & 2 sides. Ribs are +2$. I chose ribs 2x, with salad and potato salad . Ribs were thick, nice (light) smoke flavor. My salad was delicious! Potato salad was with red potatoes pretty good. My bread bun was a bit hard so didn't eat it. Dad got 2 meat &2 sides, ribs and tri tip. Ribs were thick, tri tip 2.5 was a little dry. Sides were beans and potatoe salad. Beans were a little soupy bt delicious flavor. I'll be back again to try different things. Great outdoor seating . Good inside seating. Parking is free and right next to business.
