The brisket tacos are to die for! You have to try them! They are the best! I loved the ribs too! The Bbq sauce is delicious too!

Ribs and brisket were fine, just not outstanding. Sides were generous but also just ok. Came on a warm day, but the attractive patio seemed a little smokey with the grill all fired up. Inside was cool enough. Parking was a little crowded that day. No complaints, but also no standouts either.

Omg, you guys have to visit this restaurant. They have the pit outside smoking up a mess of ribs and such!!!! The smell, ambience, staff/owners, customers(locals), service, and great conversation is amazing. I was so excited and full. Have enough food to last all weekend. I will definitely be back. This place has a feeling of home. Oh, great music and large portions.I tool great photos of decor and my food.

The best secret locals are keeping about Petaluma is Butcher Crown Roadhouse! Fabulous food, instantaneous very personable service....and a nice, large outdoor seating space. This is the kind of place that makes Petaluma so special.

Ok so hear me out...I'm a bit upset. I really am. I really should not give this place 5 stars. I shouldn't. I wasn't paid to do this review and I spent my hard earned $100 for the meal. But the reason I'm upset is why in the have I not heard of this place before? And why in the is it so far from my house?! Like we came up to Sonoma for a quick getaway and decided to try this place on a whim and OMG... we ordered the street corn, brisket, hot links, ribs, greens, mac and cheese, chili and fries. AND WE ATE IT ALL. This place was great! I'm just PISSED that I just found out about it. All you people that call us Yelp Friends...we are NOT friends. Yall could have told me about this place. Great BBQ! And the reason I shouldn't give it 5 stars? It deserves 10.

Since Sonoma Magazine mentioned this spot which is near us, we went today and I will be back, again and again, for the pulled pork sandwich. The meat was not just fabulously flavored; it was juicy. The entire sandwich is the best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had. They believe in pickles here and pickles make a huge difference. I rarely like potato salad out but asked to sample theirs. Once I tasted it, I happily ordered it. It has the perfect mix of potato chunks and smashed potatoes and again, the pickle juice elevates it. The brisket is simply the best my husband has ever had. The owner was there, hard at work, and open to talking about his craft. Great staff. Not cheap but quality well worth it.

We got a combo platter (serves 2-6 people) recommended by the gentleman that took our order. It came with brisket, ribs and pulled pork. It also came with Cole slaw, potato salad and bread. It was plenty for 4 guys. I'm personally not a connoisseur of BBQ anything except probably chicken which we didn't order. The brisket was super tender, fatty and delicious and same goes for the ribs. The pulled pork was lean and good as well. The Cole slaw was unremarkable and the potato salad was even less memorable. Granted you're coming for the bbq but the sides were a sad distraction when they could have easily elevated the whole meal. The service was great.

I found this by Google show me BBQ near me. It was not easy to find though it is right on a main street. 100 percent worth the persistence. I am a carnivore (eat only meat). I had a half rack of ribs that were perfect. I then had 1/2 pound of brisket which was by far the highlight and so juicy, tender and tasty (and nice and fatty). I had to hot links and though they are themselves a bit over priced in my view they are very good. Another 1/2 pound of tri tip I believe. The first bite was a bit dry and so I was ready to be disappointed. But nope it was just a bite that was not perfect and the rest was moist and tender. This is by far my new favorite for BBQ in Sonoma County. One last thing; The staff was friendly, informative and eager to please. There was a fair representation of the choices without feeling like I was being "sold". Go here ... Go here tonight ... Like me I think you will go here often.

The service was abysmal, understaffed. And wait time for takeout was 45 minutes. I kept smelling the smoker and it smelled like burnt rubber which transferred to the meat. I couldn’t eat it and had to throw it out. This was the third time we tried this place and we’ll never be back. I will also tell my friends and family about these experiences.

Best brisket in California. Try it with the pit beans and greens. They have bbq sandwiches and burgers too! Good beer selections. Casual seating, easy to order + Friendly staff. Never going back to Lombardis.

The food is excellent. Servers are super friendly and accommodating to someone who asks for things differently. Patio setting is where it’s at watching the smoke billow out of the smokers. I really like that they bring the food to your table and they have bingo on Friday evenings with food giveaways!!Check it out.
