Great BBQ restaurant that is local to Southern California. The restaurant has an up scale cabin feel that fits the bbq motif. The menu has great options for all ages and even labels for those who have gluten sensitivity. The kids' menu has a wide selection of picky eaters in the family. It is also nice that they match how adults order with and side. All of the options we chose were spot on and seasoned perfectly. The pulled port was moist and had a good smoke flavor. It also paired well with the vinegar bbq sauce they recommend. The tri-tip sald was the right size, and the tri-trip was also smoked and cooked to perfection. A true test of a bbq restaurant is how they make their sides. There was no disappointment here as they were all well made. The garlic roles were fluffy, the Mac and Cheese was creamy, the banked beans were bbq heaven, and the coleslaw was seasoned correctly. Last but not least is the desert. If you are there in berry season, the berry krisp is exactly like mom used to make, and the chocolate cake is not overly rich. Both are highly recommended. The only complaint is that there is not one of these restaurants in roseville, northern California.

Very clean. Great atmosphere. We came on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn't very busy. My husband ordered the ultimate. It's huge but very good (I took a bite). The jalapenos were perfect. Everything in our was very tasty but when put all together just hit the spot. I ordered the lunch special of the two sliders with half salad and a side. I didn't care for the Western only because the peppers were super done and I prefer peppers firm. The other slider was great. It had slaw on it which for me, slaw is a hit or miss and it was very good. The mac and cheese was great. I love love love mac and cheese. The salad was also great. Their croutons are bomb. Kevin was our waiter and he was very polite. Very on his toes. He made our first visit very enjoyable. We will definitely be back.

Good service. Super disappointing food. Overall this place was nothing special. Especially not for the price. Our server was wonderful, so no complaints about service. But the food... If it was a parade it's less Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and more small town parade with two goats and a mediocre high school marching band. The server suggested the mac and cheese to my girlfriend and she excitedly chose it as a side. As you can see in the picture, the chef pours bland cheese soup on a flat tray and strategically sprinkles approximately 10 noodles in to it. It has zero flavor and on a cold day got super cold really fast. I will give credit to her fish. It was good. Not great. But good. Juicy and tender meat with a sauce that was too light. My brisket was ok. I did like the sauce but there was too little of it. I don't drown my meat in sauce, but you've got to have enough to at least taste it in each bite. My potatoes were cold and the cheese looked half melted, so it kind of looks like they rushed it out. We were there at lunch on a Monday so there's zero excuse as it wasn't busy at all. Out of all the food we had in SD during our trip this was by far the least impressive (and still one of the most expensive.) Oh, the bread was pretty good. Also nothing to write home about. But good for sure.

Always good food at a reasonable price. Come before 4 pm for the lunch menu. Don't forget the kids because their Menu has all of the delicious menu items as a reduced size and price. My son loves this place and it's ribs. I like the tri-tip sandwich. All the sides are excellent.
