44 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Sacramento

“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.“

“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.“

“I visited the place for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it became a quick favorite of mine. The people at the register are super nice polite and patient. Something you won't find that many of the restaurants nowadays. The food is amazing the chicken is always tender you can cut it with a fork you don't even need a knife and the side dishes are always amazing. I highly recommend this place.“

“I like Brody's, their tritip sandwich is good. Loved the steak salad. Im a big fan of the waffle fries. I will say as far as taste goes, sauced downtown has better seasoning particularly for smoked wings, however Brody's is better by far for atmosphere and parking. There's outside seating and it's right by the river. No reservations are required. Probably don't go an hour before they close they run out of a lot of smoked meats particularly on the weekends.“

“If you're just looking to get your fill this hole in the wall Mongolian place is a great way to do that. The prices are reasonable and they will give you a refill for your soda. The one item I missed out on the last couple times was the soft serve machine. Dinner and lunch are priced different and its all you can eat for dinner, they offer to-go prices as well. The cooks who whip together your noodle bowl really appreciate the tips. Not the nicest place but its all about getting full here.“

“outstanding food and service!“

“My husband and I hired Taeza's Bottomline BBQ to cater our wedding of about 130 people this past November. Roger was a delight to work with. His team ran everything efficiently and smoothly the day of. The food is DELICIOUS and worth every penny. Our guests are still talking about it months later. Thanks so much Roger for the awesome catering! We hope to do business with you again in the future for other events.“

“Our first time there. We ordered the feast for 2. BBQ chicken 🐔 and tri- tip with veggies, beans and corn bread. it was delicious! Definitely will eat there again.“

“We went for the first time and try the tri tip, one pound medium rare.
It was tender, jucy and full of flavor!!!
I've tried tri tip in restaurants before and it's normally ok..... this tri tip was mind blowing!!!
We live 40 minutes away from Buckhorn bbq, but it is weel worth the drive for this amazing tri tip. The service was very friendly and the food was served really quick, great atmosphere!!“

“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 !“

“The good amazing as well as the staff and service. I'm not sure if this is home cooked meals but holy cow did it taste like it. The complementary sweet tea is ridiculously good and addicting they should bottle and sell it so I can drink it everyday.“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Great place for drinks. Highly recommended.“

“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.

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“

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

“Very good food. Friendly staff“

“Once again Oz knocks it out of the park. We took 30 of our Black belt class for our 16th annual Korean dinner. Managers Phillip and Sean insured that everyone was taken care of. The service was fantastic and the food was Great can't wait till next year Tony R.“

“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.“

“Good Service and Good Food!“

“Outstanding flavor. Good service.“

“Family meal is a really good deal. We used to get separate plates, now we always get the family meal and it feeds everyone. Which for us is between 2-4 adults and 2 kids. They give three meat options, and one container of rice and one of macaroni and they really pack the food in the containers. Food is fresh and they're relatively quick.“

“We discovered this restaurant last February 2025, and after that me and partner became a regular customer, to the point that even the server knows what we will order without asking😂 I love the hospitality and the service on this restaurant, the food is superb! everything taste authentic! must visit!!!💗“

“I’ve never been there in person, but I’ve ordered from them plenty of times—and the food is phenomenal. The portions are definitely generous (perfect for us thick folks!).
One small suggestion: adding a menu link to Google Maps would be super helpful. I’m always telling people about the food, and having the menu handy would make it even easier to put others on.“

“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 :)“

“This location is always pretty consistent. We love everything on the menu. Their mac salad tastes better than the greenhaven location. The portion sizes are usually generous and they are always quick with their service. We typically always call in our order and it's ready within 10 minutes. It's always clean inside and the staff are friendly. The quality of food tastes great and the prices are fair. We love coming to this location!“

“First time coming to this place, I’m so glad that they opened in Sacramento as I’m always craving for some Chinese local food such as skewers and spicy food 🥘. Price is reasonable to me that they currently have discount for students and those who shared the their promotion flyer on social media. Must try: lamb / pork belly with mushrooms/ oyster/ pancakes/ rice noodles and dumplings 🥟. Will come back soon:) good luck on your new business 🤗“

“The food is decent. Compared to other Korean restaurants, they offer a larger variety of side dishes, and the portions are generous.

If you value quantity over quality, this place is worth visiting. The ingredients don’t feel particularly fresh.

I would recommend the yookgaejang.“

“I got their food at a BTS ARMY day event with Sacramento BTS ARMY during the summer. My Korean mom LOVED their food so we sought out their restaurant in Elk Grove. I love the concept of you picking your own plate (like Panda Express/Chipotle) and I grabbed a variety and my mom grabbed her own variety of dishes. Generally the food is great, and the music is of course, Kpop, and lots of parking area.

The food itself, you can tell it's been sitting for a minute or few, but the flavor is great, and the refrigerated dishes are fresh. My Korean mom was especially impressed by their seaweed salad (a bit salty and brine-y for me) and she loved their kimchi. I personally like the Korean salad, which is basically a konjac jelly noodle and veggies mixed a mayo sauce (don't judge it till you try it, much healthier than ranch!) And their potato croquette. Their bean sprouts and greens are especially fresh and delicious if you enjoy traditional Korean banchan. What I probably won't get is their fish cake dish because it was overcooked and soggy, but I like that usually, but not today.

Overall, we will be back! 잘 먹고 갑니다!“

“The composition of dishes reflects a careful balance of acidity, sweetness, and umami. The poke demonstrates optimal freshness parameters, while the rice exhibits correct texture and moisture distribution. Flavor layering suggests deliberate culinary calibration rather than improvisation. The overall sensory experience indicates controlled preparation and consistent ingredient quality.“

“Pita Market & Restaurant is an amazing place! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and provide great customer service. The market side also has a nice variety of quality products you won’t find everywhere. Clean environment, great prices, and a wonderful overall experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great Mediterranean food!“

“L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was amazing! The food was delicious, the staff was on point, and they even offer a self service station. The store was clean, the dining room was quiet. I highly recommend this location if you're looking for a nice place to enjoy your meal.“

“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.“

“If you’re looking for a spot that actually delivers on both flavor and atmosphere, this Korean restaurant deserves your attention. The variety of dishes makes it easy to explore without feeling overwhelmed, and everything I tried had a clear identity. The side dishes alone could be a highlight. It’s one of those places you want to come back to just to try what you missed the first time.“

“I was there last week and there was a girl named Lorena that helped me, the food was great but the customer service was top tier she gave amazing recommendations and food was awsome. Shrimp burgers are delicious. Ill for sure be going back because of her. Highly recommend L&L“

“I ordered online when I went to pick up my order the store was full of customers and I had at least 4 people ahead of me. The online ordering was simple and quick. But the store and employees themselves did a great job of being prompt with all orders and I got to the front in no time. My order was correct and the food was still hot and delicious!“

“yes Let's Go Hawaii To Rugby AfL players players that's our Spot....“

“A great place for banh cuon. They offer a large variety ofnitems on their menu. Even the banh cuon has many different selections. The portions are very generous, and they include other items on their combo plates. Service is very fast, and the place is very clean. Only one negative is that the fish sauce is in a jug, and they share that with many tables. So make a generous pour when they bring it to you.“

“Grate tasting food& healthy...“

“Big place to celebrate birthday“

“Absolutely love their food! Made fresh & delicious. Only downfall is the amount of uber/doordash employees that consume the area indoor & outside with phones blasting on speaker phone waiting for orders.
Not a relaxing/enjoyable space to eat at.“

“OMG! 1st time here. had to wait a bit for fresh, delicious food. service was great , food is OMG so good, the Mac salad just yummy. went today around 6pm, staff was friendly and attentive, even when customer/ pick up person was super RUDE because fresh beef had to cook, with his food workers and woman are below be attitude, Sonya I think her name was handled herself well and continued to work along with co workers to get orders out, food fresh. Will be back“

“This is a low-key breakfast spot that has breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and lunch items. Coffee is good and food is inexpensive. I had a bagel breakfast sandwich and it was pretty tasty. This is the place if you want to pick up a quick bite to go but they also have a dining room.“
