50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near North Highlands

“We discovered a new BBQ place in North Highlands called Bear West. We tried it out and happy to report that the food is excellent and staff exceptional. We recommend you try it out, you will not be sorry.“

“Great bbq chicken 🍗 and the beans and potato salad was so delicious! The staff was very friendly. 😊“

“We had such a great experience here and can’t recommend this spot enough. The owner and manager were incredibly accommodating and welcoming, especially in allowing us to host a groomsmen proposal dinner in their private room. From the very beginning, reserving the space was easy and stress-free.

The manager went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of and even the owner—who I spoke with on the phone—came across as such a genuinely great guy. You can really tell they care about their guests.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was cool and inviting, and the whole night felt effortless thanks to their hospitality. If you’re looking for a spot with great food, great vibes, and even better people behind it, this is it. Thank you Hangry Herd.“

“I have been to this restaurant several times and am never disappointed. The food is fantastic and the service is personable and attentive. The ribs, chicken and tri tip are juicy and I requested the sauce to be all over the place because its so amazing! I have been in Sacramento a short time but when I moved here a couple years ago and found this place, I have brought everyone I know to eat here because its sooooo good! I even recommended this place to Guy Fieri! Thank you for being one of the best!“

“Great deal for food made to order. we stopped by on a whim and now have a go-to place. Burger is phenomenal and the tri-tip had the right amount of smoke. so tasty. look forward to trying more entrees and meats. cool people in there as well and the atmosphere was good. really couldn't find any negative other than my lack of ability to choose just one thing not a question we will be back.“

“Ok, I've been going to this spot (ONLY smoke bbq at all I get) since covid and I have NEVER had anything that but the Best bbq, you owners are bar none the Nices people! Now.... I had a piece of pork rib (end piece) that changed pork ribs forever for me. It had the Perfect flavor, texture, and was just MIND BLOWING! I actually have half of it for later! Damn, I am in a Food Coma and Glued to the couch. Seriously do yourself a favor and hit this spot up, I Promise you'll be happy you did!“

“I am a person who loves all ethnic food all different countries I am tired of people that I hang with always wanting the same thing over and over and over at McDonald's Taco Bell exedra etc there's so much more but today while doing laundry I have found my favorite store ever they have the best meat they have the best cheese I thought the cheese has mold on it and it wasn't it was really really good the best bread you also can order your barbecue the day before and pick it up the next day they start their barbecue at 12:00 p.m. they have so much I bought all this today baklava everything I was going in just to buy one thing and I end up buying $100 worth of stuff plus this cross keychain the man gave me for free today and I feel honored and I just want all of you to know to come here off coloma across from viva thank you“

“Always been served with a smile, and always been delicious. Unbeatable value, less than 20 dollars for an all you can eat mongolian bbq style noodles. I see some reviews talking about the flavor of the noodles being bland but there is a whole section of sauces and tins of garlic and ginger and chili oil you can add, follow the suggested add-ins. Ask them to cook it an extra time around the griddle, they are afraid of burning food onto the cooking surface but the extra flavor on everything is worth it. If you get it to-go they let you bring your own container and fill up multiple bowls for your one trip through. Worth stopping buy again and again.“

“outstanding food and service!“

“I am a very satisfied customer. i totally highly recommend there service and selection. I enjoy there food. The trip tip and pull pork is 👌👍 very excellent. Keep up the good work and service I hope to see u guys once again!“

“The restaurant had a relaxing and upbeat atmosphere. The food was flavorful with good portion sizes. And our waitress - whose name I unfortunately did not catch - was thoughtful, friendly, and hospitable; which is rare these days. The Napoleon with Armenian coffee was the perfect way to end the evening.“

“Stopped in on a whim today as we were in the area. Google gave 4.9 stars and we were not disappointed. From the greetings when we entered the door to the delicious BBQ burger and fall off the bone baby back ribs everything was great! We definitely plan to return to try other key items on the menu!“

“Everything was so good!!! Highly recommend!“

“Texas Style Dry Q; Delicious; No Sauce needed, but they have it for those who want it. I generally do not, but the spicy sauce is pretty good.\n\nAs with all GOOD Q... Their product will be a little different each time. In the end it is all tasty....\n\nI usually get Beef Ribs 'cause I like to gnaw me some bones. Brisket is good too. \n\nThe poor reviews you may see???? They just don't understand the concept of authentic Q !“

“Great selection. And very, very tasty hot and sour soup.“

“My wife and I saw this place at Home Depot, and it was way past lunch. So both of us settled for chili dogs. I’ve eaten a lot of chili dogs in my life time, but this one was beyond my expectations. The chili is homemade , and the taste is awesome. There’s two picnic tables for eating, and that’s where we ate. I will definitely go back before lunch to try their other sandwiches.“

“My nephew's fiance, K, had her bridal shower at Back forty Roseville. Galina and her crew were amazing! They were on top of everything, so nice and the food was fantastic. They helped make the event a huge success and K was very happy woth it. We definitely recommend and will be back.“

“Had the tri-tip sandwiches and they were outstanding. First time at this location during the weekday lunch rush and had our meal in only 10 minutes. Great service !“

“I had been craving barbecue for weeks. I had to go to Roseville for an errand , while driving around hungry I saw a dickies and decided to pull in. I meet the nicest people I had the best brisket sandwich I’ve had in years and the freshest crunchiest coleslaw. I walked out there one happy camper. Can’t wait to return.“

“I absolutely love this restraint. We come here all the time and the staff is so friendly ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ they always greet us and we have come here so much that they know our names and we have the best time ♥️ they always give us some plum tea which is absolutely amazing and do not have an octopus sports or news blasting on the tv, but rather a calming videos of Korea. 10/10 would recommend coming here, it is amazing ♥️“

“I LOVE LOVE LOVE Q&R BBQ BEEN COMING HERE FOR YEARS MY BOYS PREFER THIS PLACE OVER MCDONALDS AND ANY OTHER FAST FOOD THEY ALWAYS SAYING " TAKE US TO PAPA BBQ" RIBS AND TRI TIP 2 WAY W/ BAKED BEANS AND POTATOE SALAD IS THERE THANG IM THE TRI TIP/ Chicken 2way w/ greens and potatoe salad. Best BBQ PLACE IN SACRAMENTO HANDS DOWN ALL FOOD IS FRESH WITH LARGE Porportions. Good food for a budget. Especially my family " greedy" when it comes to qand R bbq we not sharing plates. Every chance we get we eat there 30 minute drive well worth it. Its family. Quincy even feeds the community for free when a person in need nobody goes hungry around him a blessing to the community he'll get you feed and cleaned up from the heart“

“The venue is unique and the beers are good. The brisket and the half spicy Hawaiian chicken were good but not something I'd make a special trip for. Both of them came out cold as well. The collards were surprisingly good. I'd definitely try them out again and try something else on the menu.“

“Great place for drinks. Highly recommended.“

“Very good food. Friendly staff“

“This place is clean and great food excellent service.we love the delicious food. We recommend friends and family. Today we went to lunch non veg and tandoori chicken is great and went back again for dinner. Delicious“

“They have maintained amazing quality. Never disappointed with the food.“

“Good Service and Good Food!“

“Love this place. The steak is yummmy“

“By far the best KBBQ I've been to. This is my comparison to several in Sac like OZ, and in San Francisco. It is pricey but if you can eat, it's well worth it. Sides are the best here but careful not to eat too much of it haha. The Meat were of the best quality compared to the other places.“

“Stayed at the hotel next door and walked to this place, easy 100 yards. This is a sports bar with real fans watching games and cheering for their team. Locals ending work for the day and having fun and cutting loose. Good beer selection and great happy hour value. Servers were very attentive and efficient. If you're in the area and looking for a place to watch sports, this is a great place.“

“I always enjoy my visits here. The staff is genuinely friendly and attentive, which makes every experience pleasant. If you prefer a relaxed meal, coming earlier in the day is a great idea since it is quieter. In the evening it gets quite busy because it is so popular, so making a reservation is definitely recommended.“

“We had a 33rd birthday party for our son, his band and groupies, party of 11. The mgt Kien/Kenny was very accommodating with our reservation, running a slide show in our private room and the lobby while our guests arrived. The seafood pancakes, desert, and spinning the prize wheel were unexpected treats. Some may think it's pricey but when I consider that for the price I would pay for a basic Rib Eye dinner elsewhere, I can have as much Rib Eye, as well as a variety of other meats, chicken, shrimp, sides as I can possibly eat, it's very reasonable. Most of our group were 1st timers, so the cultural experience of new foods, cooking at your table the way you like, made for a unique experience. Our group of 20 something yr old punk rockers had a lot of fun, the service and food were excellent. We'll be back...ps. call ahead to gauge the crowd and bring an appetite.“

“This was my first time visiting this place. The seating area is spacious. I came in in early dinner and luckily it was not busy yet. Best jja jang myun in sacramento. The jja jang myun had that perfect balance of savory and slightly sweet, with chewy noodles and for me the sauce was lighter than other places I’ve been too.

Service was quick and friendly , and everything. Came out hot and fresh. The place is clean casual and definitely worth stopping by if you are craving solid Korean Chinese comfort dishes.“

“Excellent BBQ and service. Can't wait to go back.“

“5 stars. They were very kind and patient and made a Smaller version of the combination plates for my daughter! Thank you to the Chef, will come here again! You should too :)“

“My wife and I ordered their half and half BBQ plate (Kalua Pork and Chicken) and Chicken Katsu plate.

Let me tell you, the BBQ chicken was so good, clean, juicy & delicious. And the Kalua pork had such a delicious smokey taste and was so juicy.

Also their Chicken Katsu was cooked just right. Crispy & Juicy with their katsu sauce. Let's not forget their rice and mac salad lol.

We will DEFINITELY be back for more!!“

“Our office really enjoyed our salads. We tried the Smoked Chicken Caesar and the Smoked Cremini Mushroom (Vegan) and both were excellent! This cafe is tucked away in an office park but it was easy to get to and pick up was fast.“

“Truly enjoyed the food delicious“

“Went there today with my daughter. Service was attentive warm and prompt. The Bachan side dishes were good. We ordered beef soup, corn mozzarella and another dish, don’t remember the name but they were all delicious ! Flavorful and good portion. I’m not from the area but I would make a trek again to eat here.“

“Friendly staff, quick turnaround, and place is kept very clean. We came here after visiting the kids play center next door, as we saw many others do. Good food! The macaroni was a little too mayo tasting for me, but that’s a personal thing and not reflective of the overall food which was great. Will definitely be back.“

“Fire fire fire. I love this spot. Killer food for a great price. Large portions and super nice staff.

I usually order teriyaki chicken or beef with extra macaroni salad. The macaroni salad is delicious. When I’m feeling something extra, I get musubi also. The beef and chicken are killer and the spam is really good as well depending on your preference.

The family deal is awesome also. Sometimes I order that for myself and eat it for a couple days when I’m too busy to cook.“

“Best Mongolian BBQ in the region. I eat here weekly. Amazing egg flower soup and veggie egg rolls come with your meal. Gets really busy at lunch rush so try to get there early or late (check hours).“

“Hidden little spot, but it is delicious! The lamb is amazing, super tender and seasoned very well (came w a little basket of bread I think). Chicken shawarma is pretty tasty too. And the prices are super fair!!! Baklava hit the spot at the end for a sweet bite! Definitely going back!“

“Long wait but the food was good.“

“As everyone knows, not all L&L Hawaiian BBQ is the same, and neither are the other Hawaiian BBQ places. L&L Hawaiian BBQ is the OG of all Hawaiian BBQs. My wife got the Seafood combo, 2 spam musubi, and the saimin that came with 2 slices of spam. She was definitely happy. I got the loco moco, a Portuguese musubi, and a lau lau. We both got the pineapple cream soda, which really hit the spot as in flavor. I was joking with the cashier Peter, just to liven up the atmosphere. He went with the joking and we laughed. The other workers were polite and smiling. I asked about the Hawaiian shaved ice, I’ll get some next time I visit. I bought enough food to keep me happy for the next couple of days. This L&L serves large portions, not like the rest of the Hawaiian BBQ. Just so everyone knows, I was born and raised in Hawaii. So naturally I know how the food should taste, especially the lau lau. My wife and I both got the Haupia for dessert, it brought back memories that were long forgotten.“

“Low wait time, but did not affect the food quality. Got chicken Katsu plate. Chicken was not dry, was not slimy and was not mostly breading. Spam musubi were thick, without too much sauce or to much rice you cannot bite. Staff was in high spirits and atmosphere is family friendly.“

“Sonora location. Tried when first opened and few weeks ago. It was clean (new) and great service. Re-visited yesterday and totally the opposite! Counter was dirty, all food was low. It was 4 o’clock and not busy. The cook, other gentleman and waitress was very unprofessional and unsanitary! The cook, yes while wearing gloves, continued to touch dirty services and our food. At one point he had his cell phone in his hand looking at it while cooking our food. Phone back in dirty pocket, touching his hair then back to cooking our food! The conversation between the three of them were load and unprofessional. I was so ready to leave! Definitely won’t be returning anytime soon.“

“Big place to celebrate birthday“
