Reviews for BBQ & Burgers in Sacramento, CA
Almost Perfect: I consider myself to be a carnivorous connoisseur, and am almost always up for trying the local BBQ places of... wherever life takes me. BBQ & Burgers is a rather bland title, but it belies perhaps some of the best BBQ I have everhad. Barbeque is a difficult tango. If the meat is lacking, there is rarely a sauce in the world to redeem it. If the sauce islacking, you can eat the meat sans sauce, but then are you really eating BBQ as our ancestors intended? BBQ & Burgers hits themboth magnificently. The brisket was tender but still held up well, the ribs were well-portioned with meat and had a good dry rubon them. Each a respectable protein in its own right. When paired with the sauce though...my tastebuds sang. The sauce is awonderful ratio of smoky, sweet, a little salt, tang, and spice. I would clear out a grocery store were this stuff sold atSafeway or Raley's. Only complaint here was that the brisket was a bit lacking in quantity. I've I'm going to be paying an extra$2.00 for brisket, I feel some more would make the transaction more equitable. The bread roll was fine, nothing to write homeabout. The fries were good, not really crispy if that is your thing though solid flavor. My heart breaks over the Mac andCheese though. And it is the reason BBQ & Burgers does not get a 5-star rating from me. It was a solid portion and was stillnice and warm after I received it from delivery. The noodles had the right amount of firmness and give. Unfortunately, the tastewas off from the start. There was a bit of spiciness which eclipsed the cheese flavor. I did not see black pepper so I was alittle confused. I hesitantly took another bite, and found the culprit. Jalapeno, in the Mac and Cheese. Mac and Cheese ought toliterally be just what is in the title. Nothing else, unless requested. My disappointment abounded, though was saved by theheavenly meat and sauce duo. Would definitely come back, but maybe just to get the meat and sauce only. The si Read more
Very good barbecue. The brisket was amazingly fork-tender?more tender than competitors I?ve tried. No need for s knife! Good... selection of sides and entrees, including a portobello mushroom sandwich. The pork ribs were okay also. My only beef (!) aboutthe brisket?although fabulously tender, it seemed curiously underseasoned. Perhaps to accommodate dietary restrictions? The billfor four hungry people, including tip, came to $119, if that?s a consideration. Burgers cost about $15. My husband says he wouldgo back there. Very friendly server on a Friday night.

Man, I got to tell you. The burger I ordered was good. But here's the problem. I ordered a mushroom burger, with a side salad.... Now, on the menu, for the salad, it says vinaigrette or Ranch. The waitress didn't ask which i wanted. Not a big deal. But Iprefer ranch. So after the food was brought over, with vinaigrette, I politely went to the front, then to the waitress, with thevinaigrette in hand, and politely asked for ranch. The waitress told me it would be an extra charge. Really? Okay. So I sat backdown. Not a big deal. My wife, politely took the vinaigrette, and kindly stated to the staff that we would prefer ranch. Thelook they gave her, was, well, unnecessary. Like they had to talk about it. Or like we were trying to "get over" them by gettingsomething for free. I was with my wife and daughter, and we all ordered a plate. I'm typing this as I wait for the bill. But the bill will be, I'm sure, around $50 or more. Very Unfortunate. I wanted to come back and try something else as I live closeby, now. Oh, well. Quick Update: So, I just talked to my wife, and she said that as she was talking to the kind cashier behindthe counter, the waitress, was also there, to the side and the waitress "rolled" her eyes at my wife's request. Alsounnecessary. Customer service is very important. Read more
I ordered the Pulled Pork Salad. I appreciated how the meat was set off to the side so you can choose to eat it with the salad,... or not - and the pulled pork was delightful. The salad was also good, the strawberries, apples, and spring mix all taste veryfresh. At $15 It?s a bit steep for how much you get, but it?s undeniably quality food. The service was? okay. I?ll let thisslide on the review because another employee was able to help me, but the person that rang up my order did not seem to have avery good idea of her restaurant?s portion sizes and didn?t ask which dressing I wanted (the menu states you have to choose) andI had to later remind her after forgetting myself. Not a huge deal which is why I?m still leaving 5 Stars. The atmosphere isalso nice, both the indoor and outdoor seating areas are enjoyable. Overall a good experience and I will definitely continueeating here. Read more
Husband had the brisket burger with fries and I had the 50/50 fries ???? with pulled pork and some onion rings. We both had a... mandarin soda. The place was steady busy while we ate. The food was great and we had leftovers. Honestly, the fries were enoughfor both of us to share. So good! Worth the price for sure! Read more
Great very nice vibe for outdoor seating. Food is great. I ordered two kids chicken nuggets meals $7each. 50/50 pull pork fries... and 50/50 chicken fries. So yummy and bomb. It wasn't too busy here. The workers are very nice. They were all wearing masks andhand hand sanitizer available at the register. It was clean inside and outside. I waited for my food maybe 13 mins. It was hotand good. The BBQ here is fire. ???? Read more

We had the brisket burger with a side of mac and cheese and the pulled pork burger with fries, a small order of onion rings and... a Pina colada margarita. Everything was delicious except the Mac n cheese, it was plain and lacked flavor. The fries werecrispy and seasoned well, so we're the onion rings. Read more
