Staff was helpful in the ordering process ands attentive to us during our visit. Will definitely go back again!

9/19/2026 Food was…read moreokay and definitely satisfied the craving for smoked BBQ, but overall I'd say it was a "hit or miss" experience. I ordered the XL Family Pack for a group of 6-8 people. Unfortunately, they were out of brisket that day, so I went with the following: Bone-in Chicken: Moist, and probably my favorite of the meats. Good flavor and didn't feel dried out. Tri-Tip: This was the biggest disappointment. The meat was very dry, lacked moisture, and was noticeably chewy. It could have used more tenderness and juiciness. Pork Ribs: Also a mixed experience. The ribs seemed to have been smoked for a little too long, which made the outer crust quite dry and tough. The thicker pieces were actually pretty decent and had better moisture, but the thinner pieces were noticeably over-dried and harder to eat. Overall, the BBQ did satisfy the smoked BBQ craving, but the quality seemed inconsistent depending on the cut and thickness of the meat. The chicken was good, while the tri-tip and thinner rib pieces were too dry for my liking. There was quite a bit of food we couldn't finish because most of the meat was just too dry and chewy. Overall: Hit or miss.

Food: I ordered the hot and spicy chicken and waffles with wings, and a small gumbo. The waffles were my favorite the last time I was here because it was crispy and thin but I ordered the food Togo so the condensation took over the texture. Chicken still crispy and good. This was my first time trying the gumbo and I thought it was ok. Ambiance: booth seating, half booths and some tables. Very loud, and comfortable vibes. A place to come and enjoy good food with good company. Service: I came in, was greeted but was informed that they were still cleaning tables and would be sat in a moment. A few minutes later another couple came in to wait behind me. Another gentleman came out and helped clean up tables. He grabs menus and looks at me and says "how many" I said "just one" he says "ok" then proceeds to tell the couple behind me to have a seat first. Why? Because they have a booth seat? I was already irritated because it should be first come first serve. And then seats me at a half booth. He says "you can have a seat here" and I say "ok" And I'm thinking the two people cleaning and taking orders saw that I came first surely they will take my order first. The First Gentleman that greeted me, came to take my order but the person who sat us said "no table ".." first." He says sorry and proceeds to take their order. Maybe it's the hormones but I was upset. He came over to take my order and I said can I just place my order to go please, I'm a little irritated. That was it, I just placed my order to go.

It's best to go early, since this place is really popular. The store is laid out in a pretty straightforward way and service is quick.

Pros: my favorite are the marinated chicken thighs, wings, and marinated Korean short ribs. Best part is when they're on sale! There's plenty of parking as well. Cons: none

Great Food Trailer at Sim's BBQ on Sundays-8458 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624…read more This is a mobile barbecue trailer that travels to different places and events. Once a week, its in elk Grove at the above mentioned address. The trailer is parked along a street thus providing poor parking. It is primarily a takeout and has many different items available.

The staff is very friendly and know the product well. They serve Ribs, Beef Brisket, Tri-Tip, Pull Pork, Chicken and, All Beef Hot or Mild Links. The sides are Potato Salad, Green Beans, Baked Beans, & Cole Slaw. Sims' Southern Punches looked really good! I had the ribs with potato salad and beans. Really excellent, although I did find the brown barbecue sauce to be a little strong for me. The quality of the ribs and taste really hit the spot!

Yet this is just one night of tasting It. Whenever I eat It is VERY, VERY, VERY DELICIOUS. So my suggestion would be don't go there to eat cabbage an hour before closing.
