There used to be a Everett and Jones BBQ right near Florin and Franklin, and it was always busy, but for some reason they retreated back to the Bay Area. Best damn BBQ in Nor Cal. Now I go to their Oakland location when I'm down visiting family, but Sacramento...I'm not so sure... All of the places I've tried pale in comparison to E&J. Sorry.

Now that I think about it, Texas West BBQ isn't too bad. Their sauce is a bit too sweet for my taste, but as far as Sac goes, its the best I've found.

Take 80 west to San Jose, Sam's BBQ on Bascom. It's worth the drive.

Unfortunately I dont think Sacramento has a good BBQ. Somebody lend me a couple hundred grand and that could change.

Opinions on BBQ vary as much as opinions of rod actions.

For me the meat must stand alone. It must have a good bark, good seasoning, and a good sauce(on the side).

Thanks Jay,

I'm in San Jose twice a week, I'll have to make time to check it out.


Now to answer the original question.....my backyard.

Agree on Texas West. It's not great, but it's what we have.

After reading all of the comments about Texas West we had to try it out couple of nights ago. We were at Kaiser and the Roseville location was just across Douglas Blvd.

I had a generous portion of ribs while my wife had Baby back/chicken combo. Mine came dry while hers came smothered in sauce with totally blackened chicken. Both were just,,,,,okey. The macaroni salad side was poor.

We kept comparing this to Lucielle's and we like Lucielle's better. If you haven't been there it's located in the same parking lot as Sportsman's Warehouse. It's always packed with people and the food is great.

Guys, Sandra Dee's. Its downtown, around F & 15 i think. Buy far (seriously) the best in Sac. Thurs through Sat. they have beef ribs that are off the hook, also try the mac n cheese and hushpuppies. Tex-ass West is terrible, used to live around the corner from one, tried it 3 or 4 times, never any good.
