I like flavor with my food, so seasonings were missing, but they were cooked just right. The tri tip sandwich was bomb. I just wish I had some horseradish to go with it.

The meat here is AWESOME!!! Real oak fire slow cooked meat. For such quality food this is a good value. My only regret is not going here more often. I love the lunch specials. We have used the catering platters and they are great for groups. You won’t be disappointed for supporting this small business.

This unassuming, hole-in-the-wall place is awesome! We love everything we get here — ribs, chicken, links — and all the fixin’s! The smoker in the parking lot smells divine, too! We’ve tried other local BBQ places and this beats them all, hands down.

I have never had a bad experience here. The ribs are as good as any I had when I lived in Nashville . The meat is so tender you can eat it without teeth. The owner, cook and all-round everything else is so kind and gracious. He seems to always remember you and what you order. I never like to go elsewhere.

This little hole in the wall BBQ joint off of Hwy 80 in Auburn, is a good surprise for my wife and I. We love finding hidden gems and this is one of those. You won’t be disappointed! I had the 3 meat combo with ribs, link and brisket along with macaroni salad and fries.

Hands down the best BBQ place in the area. Small family business ran by a man who cares about his work. It’s a small hole in the wall with little to no curb appeal besides a large star sign above the door. The food was absolutely delicious and the servings are more than fair. He smokes and cooks his meat outside their front door in a smoker that fills the air with a wonderful smell. The pulled pork is my favorite dish with soft and a tender pork mouthful. It goes along with two sides. He brings your food to you and keeps each portion separate using plates that have their own compartments. We will continue coming here every time we are in the area. His food is great and so is his attitude. Customer service was great. The building is small and there are only a few tables, even a few outside. But it’s a diamond in the rough right off of the freeway! Stop by often!

Oh my goodness.. this is amazing BBQ. The Ribs were so meaty, BBQ beans were not to sweet and not to smokey just perfect. Macaroni and potato salads homemade. Hot link spicy but not so spicy that you couldn’t enjoy it. Tri tip sandwich stuffed with tender slices. Only 30 minutes from the house so yes we will be back. A must try for anyone who likes BBQ

This place gets 1 only because I have to put something. We ordered hot link, pork ribs, dark meat chicken, potato salad, cole slaw, fries and pasta salad. I have never, ever had dryer and dry, harder than hell, tasteless, bbq food until today. We asked for dark meat. How does part of the breast and back constitute dark meat? The last time Inchecked, dark meat consists of leg and thigh. OMG! Those ribs were NOT fall off the bone! They were waaaaaay overcooked, tough and dry, dry, dry!!! Fries were soggy, both, potato and pasta salad were more like pickle salad! The slaw was watery! Needless to say, it was our first and last time going there!

I love this place. I live in San Jose so I can only get here after a Tahoe trip and without fail I’ve been stopping by every single time, bringing everyone who’s with me on the trip there and they all love it. Arguably best ribs of NorCal
