These folks add some of the best sides to their incredibly cooked meat... cheesy grits, collard greens with little spice, and baked beans like nothing I have had before. I have never seen Brunswick stew, and it too did not disappoint! This most recent visit they added half a chicken that had a great bark and was juicy for days and served with a peach chutney (AWESOMENESS!) and fresh lemonade!! Topping things off was the rotating deserts. The pecan bars and banana pudding were incredible. Haven't tried the chess cake or the sweet potato pie bars yet, but ya gotta have something to look forward to. The cherry on top are the owners. They are just special people with a real desire to get it right, and make people happy! Folks, this place is the real deal!!

The line breaks up so that the neighboring restos don't get crowded out. They provide a cooler with water bottles for those waiting in line. Nice touch. We ordered the tray that feeds 2-3 which includes brisket, ribs, and smoked turkey and two sides--we got the collard greens and mac n cheese. We also ordered 8 oz of the pork belly. The food was outstanding! Tender and so much flavor. The pork belly was my fave but the brisket was bomb too. The ribs and the turkey were so delicious but the pork belly was incredible! I finished with the lemon pound cake which was a great way to finish the meal. This place is not to be missed! The wait is so worth it!

I really like this Buckhorn Grill located in the Palladio shopping mall. The spacious interior is…read moreclean and well kept, and the employees went above and beyond with their customer service, We were seated at a booth near the TVs so that was a plus - My boyfriend appreciates the sports bar feel of this place so we can enjoy a meal and he doesn't miss his games. The food lives up to their standards, high quality, fresh and delicious. They fry with organic Fera fruit oil, not seed oils, consciously sourced from Zero Acre Farms. We love their tri-tip sandwiches. All Buck sandwiches are made with 4, 6 or 8 oz. of Certified Angus Beef® Char-Roasted Tri Tip. Served on a perfectly toasted roll, there are several sandwich options to choose from. I favorite would be the Roadhouse Buck, topped with clean-fried Roadhouse Onions, Bleu Cheese Crumbles, and Red Ranch Sauce on a Toasted Roll. There are a plethora of tasty sides from Cesar salads, Mac n cheese, roasted veggies, jalapeño corn bread. I like the sweet potato fries and Mac n cheese.

Not running back for a second visit. Customer service was,…read morenot memorable. Meat was not seasoned well and the ratio of meat versus veggies was off; not a good ratio (too much veggies, not enough meat). The lettuce pieces had many that had brown corners, so unable to eat. The dressing was just all right, didn't have much flavor. There wasn't much of a climax opportunity during this boring lunch. Again, nothing to write home about.

The structure: This neighborhood little sports bar is great! They have fun games for everyone…read moreincluding kids, lots of TVs and a big bar area. The FOOD: Not great at all...hardly even good. I don't think I have ever been to an establishment where everything that we ordered was pretty bad. We ordered chicken wings... half of the order was barbecue the other half was parmesan and herb. They were dry and the flavor was lacking in both. I also ordered their fried pickles. I didn't know it was possible to mess those up until the basket of yummy,flavorful pickles came and were completely wet and soggy with breading coming off of it. What a disappointment. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich with their cheesy potatoes. The waitress described it as like a fully loaded potato.That sounds yummy, only it wasn't. It was presented as partially mashed potatoes with chunks in it and the cheesy flavor was almost like the flavor from a packet of mac and cheese sauce. The sandwich was a flavorless tasting shredded barbecue. We asked for barbecue sauce to put on the sandwich and it tasted like somebody put vinegar and sugar in that sauce. I ordered the chopped BBQ sourdough bread sandwich and there's no way that was sourdough that I was eating but instead tasted like bread that was toasted. That was probably the best thing I ate was just the bread because the meat was as I described before no flavor and very disappointing. I also ordered fries and thought at least I can eat these but I was wrong. Even their frozen fries were lacking in flavor. We also both ordered iced tea and asked for yes, artificial sweetener and we were informed that they don't carry any. Just regular sugar. That was a first for me! Never ever been to any restaurant or eating establishment that didn't carry a variety of sugar for people who drink iced tea. It's unfortunate that everything my husband and I ordered was really bad. It almost was comical except that we paid $80 for that inedible food. The Service: Our server, Ana was awesome!! She was the only one taking care of everybody and she did it flawlessly. When we asked for extra sauce, she delivered it quickly. She was good about checking on all the customers even though there were only 4 of us in total. A family of 5 left 10 minutes after we arrived and 2 people sat at the bar 15 minutes after we ordered. She had a great attitude and smiled a lot. She said she was new to the job but her actions made it look as though she were a veteran. OVERALL: The service was great and the establishment itself is a great neighborhood sports bar hang out but the food was really really bad. It wouldn't have been a terrible thing if just one or maybe two items we ordered weren't that great but the fact that every single thing including the tea was bad, is the reason that we will not visit this place again. By the way, it took me a couple of weeks to write this, because I aim to see the good in everything. I do not like to receive negativity or give it. It was difficult to be that honest especially when other people in the reviews really liked the food. Good for them! I do hope that this place will have enough customers to stay open for a long time. I wish them the best of luck.

Shoutout to Folsom, CA. Poppy's Bar & Que…read more Before walking on the Johnny Cash Trail, we decided to try out Poppy's Bar & Que on East Natoma Street across the street from the community center. We saw the smoker in the front of the building. I do luv me some good ole BBQ. So off we went. We ordered a double down plate $26: two 7oz protein choices with cole slaw on brioche and an 8 oz side choice. Brisket and pulled pork were our protein choices with and potato salad. We bought another side, macaroni salad. We requested that the pulled pork be placed on the side and additional sauce. I dislike being that customer with persnickety preferences. But we were, and they didn't blink an eye. Super accommodating. The pulled pork had a deep smoky flavor. Tender shredded pieces. Mmm. The sauce was served on the side. That too was delicious. Hubs had the brisket and wolfed that down before I could swipe a piece. Darn. The potato salad was tasty. Slightly tangy, which I really liked. The place is family owned and operated. It's a sports bar and family friendly bbq joint. Giving off family friendly vibes. But hey, a bar and family friendly? Yes. They both co-exist harmoniously. Talking about sports. The TVs of course are tuned onto sports. All of the screens are strategically placed throughout. They even have framed signed football jerseys from USC Trojans, Denver Broncos, and 49ers to name a few. Pretty neat.

The pancit was a hitter, especially with the pork skewers and lechón. For around $30, you can get a tray that easily feeds 3-4 people. That's hard to beat.

There just aren't enough Filipino food spots around here. If you've never had Filipino food before, let me make it easy: First order: BBQ meat with rice and lumpia. Fifth order: Upgrade to adobo or sinigang. Tenth order: Get the halo-halo. You're in now. Friendly people, good portions, and real comfort food. Definitely worth checking out.

Kabayan also sells drinks, chips, and snacks on the side. It's half a mini mart and half restaurant.

Our waiter, Troy, was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we sat down. He checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing, made sure we had everything we needed, and provided excellent service with a great attitude. He truly made our dining experience enjoyable. The food came out quickly, was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. Everything about this visit was so much better than our previous experiences. It's great to see such an improvement because we've always wanted to love this restaurant. Thanks to Troy and the exceptional service he provided, we'll definitely be coming back to this location. If possible, we'll be requesting him as our server every time. He made all the difference, and we truly appreciate the wonderful experience!

We came back on a Wednesday night and when we said we were beer club the guy at the desk said "hold on I have to turn in this change" and kept us waiting while he was doing something else and then told us there was no beer for pickup. We said we wanted to dine in and he just stared at us for so long gaping. He finally said to go to the other desk for help? We were seated at a booth and it took our server almost 10 minutes to ask us what we wanted to drink and she walked away before we were finished ordering our drinks. It took another 10 minutes and she brought us the table overs drinks.. she said "just kidding." It was definitely not busy enough to be this ridiculous of service, you would think it was a holiday. She was all over the place and very clearly overwhelmed and kind of wishy washy. Thankfully she had someone help her later on and she was so much nicer and well organized. The food is always good. Salad, shrimp tacos, Cajun fries, quesadilla and the brownie was really good just super sweet

That's where Ttobongee Chicken was the perfect fit. You order and pay at the counter and then they bring food to your table. We ordered the combo wings. What I didn't realize was that "combo" mean that some were big full size drumsticks and some where wings and drumettes. I would have preferred the smaller wings. We just went with Original as our first try of the place. They make items fresh to order so it does take a bit of time to properly fry the chicken. But when it comes out, it's HOT and perfectly crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I really liked the seasoning too. Not too salty but just the right amount. We ordered an order of the Japchae and it came out in a HUGE bowl. This dish was very good as well. My mom kept raving about it. The Combo Wings an Japchae was way too much for two people so we had lots of leftovers to take home; no complaint there. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Located in a big shopping plaza so there was plenty of parking available.

There was plenty of seating on the shady patio, but it was really hot outside, so we opted to wait for a table inside. We had a drink and watched the NBA finals on the TVs (there was no sound so it wasn't noisy). I tried the Mustang Sally cocktail and it was well balanced and delicious! We were seated for dinner pretty quickly. The only problem I had was deciding what to order. The luau shrimp salad? Meatball sub? I finally decided on the lobster mac and cheese. While the portion wasn't large, it was delicious! Creamy and mild with fresh lobster (not fishy) and garlicy breadcrumbs. My husband got the ribeye and was thin but large with great seasoning and veggies. I'm not a big steak fan but I really liked it. We ended up grabbing some beignets to go for the kids, which were really tasty and came with 3 dipping sauces (our favorite was the Berry, although we ended up eating most of them without sauce). The atmosphere was upscale, but very casual, quiet and fun. We saw families with young children, couples on dates, and friends enjoying a meal together. It was the perfect vibe that we were looking for, comfortable, but classy. And the food was high-quality and tasty. We will definitely be back!

Upon entering, the hostess with the brown curly hair was noticeably rude and unwelcoming, which isn't the first impression you'd hope for when celebrating a special occasion. The food, however, was outstanding and was definitely the highlight of the evening. Every dish we ordered was well-prepared and delicious. Service was a mixed experience. While our server was polite, the service was quite slow throughout the meal, despite the restaurant being fairly empty at the time. Overall, the excellent food helped make up for some of the service issues, but the rude greeting and slow service took away from what should have been a memorable anniversary dinner. I hope management addresses these concerns, as the kitchen is clearly doing a great job.
