    Tri tip!
    Desirae F.

    Meat was cooked perfectly! Great flavor and texture. Highly recommend. Tri tip, pulled pork and sausages were amazing.

    Went to Moonraker in Auburn. Ordered 2 sandwiches from food truck , with a small tip (4 bucks) the total was 52.31. The sandwich was mid, cold bun, and that was it! No side or anything. We ate the sandwiches in 4 bites. More slaw on the sandwich than meat. Really disappointed. Do better please.

    Buckethead BBQ serves amazing wood-smoked Texas style barbecue from a custom built trailer - "The Rig" - at events centered around western Placer County. They operate out of Roseville, CA, and they're a mobile restaurant, so you'll need to check them out on their website or their social media page to find out where they'll be. Follow them for some of the best EVER barbecue in Placer County! Buckethead BBQ isn't a traditional brick and mortar operation, as they operate out of a custom-built trailer, specifically designed for mobile barbecue, they call "The Rig," so when you're in the mood for superior barbecue, you need to check their website, or their social media to see where they'll be setting up shop. Today's menu was posted outside the order counter. The menu varies slightly depending on the event, and what meat the restaurant has on hand. From the "Combo Plate" section of the menu, I went with "3 Meats," which included two sides. My choices of meat included brisket, pulled pork and tri tip, and sides were "Dave's Famous Baked Beans," and "Southern Slaw." Chef Dave included a cup of extra barbecue sauce on the side. Brisket. Such an interesting cut of meat, as it tends to be tough, hard to work with, and takes many hours of preparation and smoking to create a perfect product. Chef Dave and his team nailed the brisket, as it was juicy, tender, perfectly pink/slightly brown on the inside, with a beautiful, slightly crusty smoke cap on the outside. Ah... the pulled pork, which would make any Carolina "foodie" proud to enjoy and embrace. The pork was seasoned, marinated, tender, juicy, with a touch of the delicious smoke from the oak and almond wood, shredded, and topped with Buckethead's tangy barbecue sauce. Such amazing tri tip! Like the brisket, it was smoked to perfection, medium to dark pink on the inside, with a perfect, slightly crusty smoke cap on the outside. If you like your tri tip tender, you've come to the right place, so forget your knife, as Dave's tri tip was fork tender. You simply slice off a piece of the meat, dip it into the barbecue sauce - if that's your thing - and enjoy. You'd have to look a long way in Placer County to find a better tri tip. Dave's "Famous Baked Beans" worked out to be famously good, as they were tender, but with just the right amount of firmness, and served in a thick, slightly sweet sauce, where the brown sugar stood out. I'll enjoy these beans with any meal! Southern Slaw... may I say it again? Southern Slaw. I could eat this all day, everyday at every meal, as it was that good. I'm a HUGE fan of coleslaw and this was some of the best that I've ever had the pleasure to enjoy during my 73 trips around the sun. Alright... are you looking for some of the best Texas style barbecue in Placer County? Or... some of the best barbecue of any genre? You'll have to check out Buckethead BBQ's website, or their social media page to find their location, as they're mobile, but when they've set up shop at a location near you - or any location - you'll enjoy amazing barbecue. Delicious barbecue, served by friendly folks, always a great event or location... friends... we're talkin' FIVE STARS!

    Ordered the Pulled Pork Sando and Chicken Sando. Total $42.58. Huh? According to there posted sign it should have been $34? I understand there was tax, but $8.58? I mentioned this while paying and he stated they hadn't changed the pricing on the board. It's a piece of tape. And the crazyness is the same type of overprice review was posted 4 months ago. What? And over $42 for 2 mid size sandwiches? The food was okay but definitely not worth the price

    Dropped by for some viral fruit dessert and it was ok.. this establishment is inside of the…read moreRoseville galleria over near the movie theatre side bottom floor.. service was good.. he was helpful and friendly . I ordered the raspberry and the mango dessert. They're smaller than the ones I've had before at other places.. The raspberry puree inside was frozen when I ate it but it was still flavorful and good.. tastes like a tart raspberry and semi sweet cream with a crunchy outside coating. The mango on the other hand wasn't as great as I was hoping.. it lacked mango flavor.. I tasted more sweet cream than mango. I will be back to try their Dubai chocolate strawberry though

    This review is for the location inside the Roseville Galleria Mall…read more Chokberry is known for its viral fruit desserts, along with a variety of other fruit-based treats. They often sell out, but during my visit they had raspberry and mango available (they also offer strawberry). The raspberry dessert was good, though a bit too tart for my taste. I preferred the mango--it wasn't overly sweet and had a natural mango flavor. The mousse inside was smooth and creamy. Each dessert costs $13.99, which makes me hesitant to repurchase. Also, the dessert wasn't secured well inside the container, so my mango was sliding around. I had to use napkins to keep it in place and prevent the shell from cracking. This location also offers strawberry chocolate shots, though they were unavailable during my visit. I'd like to come back and try them another time. Service was quick, and the staff member I interacted with was friendly.
