Decent value when craving barbecue…read more First time trying a restaurant in this area. Pleasantly surprised. I appreciated the location. Plenty of parking. The restaurant has outdoor seating and an interesting set up inside. As you walk in the bar is to the right with the kitchen in the far back. You have a small area with larger tables. Just to the left you have another room but smaller tables. At first my part was seated in the room with the small tables but knew our order, so we requested to be moved. Thankful there was a party that just left. Nachos with add-on brisket - we devoured it. There was a decent ratio of toppings as well as a healthy amount of brisket. Large pieces mostly hidden under the chips. This could be a meal on its own. 1lb fries with pesto and pulled pork - I wanted to like this. A generous portion of pulled pork to match but it was dry. The pesto aioli sauce didn't elevate or add anything. Just a subpar plate of fries. Three meat platter / double brisket (asked for fatty) and trip tip. Brisket was good, a little melt in your mouth but was lacking the smokiness and true bbq flavor you'd expect. Still a good protein. The trip tip was okay. It was cooked more than I'd like yet still a decent protein option. I def used the available condiments to elevate each bite. One thing to note - they charge for ranch, aioli sauces. Nothing that will break the bank but it would've been nice if the server mentioned it before serving us several containers of them. Overall a decent bbq spot. Is it the best? No. Is it good for this area? Sure. I'd come back for the nachos and the meat platter. Decent value for the amount of food. We walked away with leftovers which is a win in my books.

My plate featured brisket-pulled pork & pork rib,along with Green Chile Mac n cheese and jalapeño sweet slaw and 2 slices of bread and pickled veggies. Brisket was special,10/10-perfect ratio of meat ,seasonings and fat-really enjoyed it. Pulled pork was a solid 8/10-nice flavor and not dry,which happens with so many pulled pork dishes Pork Rib was a very memorable 9/10-meat just fell off the bone with magnificent flavor! Green Chile mac was so good I wish I had ordered 2 of them!!! Overall great experience trying this true Texas style BBQ and look forward to trying them again at their next pop-up!!! I apologize for the bad pic,I was too concerned to eat,to take the time to take a proper pic.next time for sure!

I talked my fiancé into stopping…read moreby their pop-up on a rainy day because I had been following them for a while and the hyped seemed real. But what I wasn't prepared for was how hard this food SMACKS. We took our food home to escape the rain and just sat there in dead silence absolutely CHOMPING on the delectable gift in front of us. I've had bbq from all across the US. I've had bbq from quite a few places who claim to have good bbq and they disappoint. But this place? So humbly dominates the BBQ game. For a rainy day, the whole Oakhouse team was in great, kind, friendly spirits and happy to dish up their well-rounded menu. Their mac and cheese had me doing that chewing-while-aggressively-pointing-at the-dish kind of thing and their brisket is the kind that doesn't need to hide behind a sauce and HALLELUJAH for that. If you're blessed enough to find one of their pop-ups, DO IT. bring yo camping chair, bring yo wife, bring an appetite. Thank you Oakhouse team for raising the bar!

Stopped by Buckhorn for the first time for Father's Day lunch. Great joint for pretty good BBQ!…read more Buckhorn is an order at the counter and get a number type place. The line was long when we came in, but moved quickly. The bigger problem is that there aren't nearly enough tables for how many folks were dining in. We did end up finding a table on their patio- which is always a win for our family. For about $70, we got two kids' meals (one slider and one chicken tenders), a shareables order of the tri-tip tacos (that my wife ate as her entree), and a two-protein platter with the pulled pork and tri-tip. They asked how we wanted our tri-tip cooked, and we answered medium, but all of the tri-tip came out well done. The flavors of everything were good, though, and the portions are substantial. The kids' meals are a great value. The two-protein platter was enough for two meals if you wanted it to be. The tacos were filled generously and were very tasty. I enjoyed the coleslaw- though I read some others find it bland. I did not think that at all. I really enjoyed the selection of sauces available at Buckhorn. They have a pump-your-own-sauce station with several types of BBQ sauce, horseradish sauce, ketchup, and spicy ranch. Yum! My favorite was the mustard-based BBQ sauce. Overall, I would totally return to Buckhorn. I could probably lean 4 stars here, but I think it's a better spot for BBQ than many others in my area and in the Roseville area that I've tried. It's certainly made my Roseville area visit list.

Giving Buckhorn 3 stars is short of a stretch because it's really a 2 1/2 star experience but here…read moreis the good and not so good... First off, the format is order at counter and either pick up togo or get a number to have the food brought to you. Inside seating was clean but w a cafeteria vibe. They have what could loosely be described as a bar completely unmanned on a Saturday afternoon. Fortunately we weren't interested that today. So very meh. The service at the counter was very pleasant then you go into make your own sodas. My wife had the tri-tip burger and her tri-tip was grisly. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was Sahara dry. Even generous amounts of bbq sauce couldn't save it. Bbq sauce not bad though. Cole slaw for the sando was also pretty good. The highlight of the visit were the OG fries. Huge plate suitable for sharing across 2-4 people...If we ever went back, it would be for cold beers and sharing a plate of fries....

Once…read morewe got there, we realized the pizza spot was more of a takeout kind of place, but luckily I noticed the brewery nearby.

I ordered the Hawaiian, and I can honestly say it was hands down the best pizza I've ever eaten. The Detroit-style crust was incredible: thick and airy on the inside, perfectly crispy on the bottom, with those amazing caramelized, crispy cheese edges that make this style of pizza so good. The Hawaiian was the perfect combination of sweet and savory, and every bite was packed with flavor. The crust alone would be enough to bring me back, but the entire pizza was outstanding. Motorhead has officially raised the bar for pizza for me. If you're anywhere near Loomis, do yourself a favor and give this place a try. I'll definitely be back!

We ordered Fish Tacos, Prime Rib Sandwich, Chicken Cider Sandwich and Peach Salad. Each dish was very good, my fish tacos were stacked with perfectly grilled fish and the sauce was very delicious. The side salad and potatoe salad was also satisfactory. We enjoyed our meal and the experience but found the price rather high for the value. $19 for a simple peach salad seemed rather steep and the portion was not very large. Overall, this is worth checking out as the venue is very nice and the food quite good but I'm not sure if I would come back as the price tag is rather high.

Take a look at the menu here I mean you cannot help but to want to try a bit of everything! I'm at a friend here for lunch and opted for the bounty burger. Went ahead and made it a meal since they had great sodas, selections and side dishes, including zucchini sticks, which is why I chose. And those came with a wonderful dill ranch type of dip. We were visiting so much when the food arrived. I just dug in. I forgot to take a photos. Everything was wonderful! They came out and checked on us several times and asked how things were and even brought drink refills. My burger was delicious. I was only able to eat half they must've known that would be the case because they asked when I ordered it if I'd like it cut in half which I really appreciated. I ended up ordering an order of baby back ribs to go and a tri-tip sandwich for my husband (who had been here before, and said you better bring me something back!)

So finally, on my way to Auburn last Saturday, I had time to stop and try some of their amazing food. I was greeted as I walked into this quaint mini market. Everyone was friendly and talking to me. It has been family owned for decades and they made me feel so comfortable, but I was not there to shop around. I was there to try the food goods created by the smoker and whoever does this delicious array of foods. There were many options to choose from in their heated display case. Burgers, breakfast burritos, brisket sandwiches, ribs... I think there were a couple more options, but I couldn't decide on one. So I went with some smoked pork ribs and a brisket sandwich. It was $28 & change. It felt a little on the expensive side for 4 ribs and a sandwich. However... it was damn delicious!! When I got home, I did add a little salt, pepper, & mayo in the brisket sandwich... and then for me, it was fire! The smoked pork ribs were soooo goooood with the dry rub that was on them. Tender and juicy ribs... mmmm! I'm not sure if sauced ones were available, but I really liked these the way they were. I look forward to coming back here to try the other lunch & breakfast items... as well as chatting with everyone that works here!!! I'll be sure to capture more photos next visit!
