This is a funny place for me as I've been here more than a few times,yet I don't have a favorite beer or food item but not because I don't like the food or the beer but because the more things I try the more things I had to my favorites list at this incredible brewery. This particular visit was on a Tuesday and they have a great pint beer special on Mondays and Tuesdays with $5 select pints all day. On this day we decided to go with Weird is the new Normal-a West Coast IPA($5.00) & a Luna De Miel-a Mexican Amber($5.00). Both beers were very refreshing and went down super easy and I've added both to my "will order again " list. For food I ended up ordering Brisket Tacos ($14.00) off the appetizer list and a Pulled Pork Sandwich($17.00) off the sandwich list. I upgraded my fries to Garlic Fries for an additional fee-I think $1 but not sure as I was being treated that day. This is the kid of place where u walk up to counter and place an order for your beer and food then they give u a number and will bring your grub out to ya at whatever table u can find. They have both indoor and outside seating-I prefer outside seating this time of year. Food was delivered very fast-in under 10 minutes. Brisket Tacos were super simple but still wonderful -really soft tortilla with a nice chew and flavor topped with their famous juicy tender perfectly flavored brisket with onions and cilantro as a topper-they are excellent because of the quality of the brisket. 8.8/10 Pulled Pork Sandwich was the item that stood out that day-pulled pork was smoked perfectly and smothered with a perfect amount of their BBQ sauce and one of their famous onion rings is in the sandwich also topped with BBQ sauce.The bun they use was so soft and meshed perfectly with the soft tasty bite of the pulled pork. 9.4/10 I really do love all of my visits to Urban Roots as every visit has been positive-I've recommended this place to many of my friends who visit from out of town for a high quality yet casual dining experience & if that isn't enough of a recommendation,the day I visited was my actual birthday and this was the place I choose to celebrate-I love this place that much.

This was the first time I'd visited this burger place. A friend of mine had mentioned wanting to…read moretry BBQ and Burgers for a while, so off we went. It's located close to Sac City College on Sutterville. We managed to get there at lunchtime and didn't have too long of a line to wait. The 1/3 lb burger patty sounded good ( we were very hungry). We both showed restraint and ordered coleslaw and salads to accompany our burgers. An interesting observation of the sauce bottles here: the red bottles had ketchup in them. The purple bottles had barbecue sauce. There were no yellow bottles. Apparently, barbeque places are not big on serving mustard. Our burgers arrived. They looked wonderful. That 1/2 lb patty looked big! The first bite was quite satisfying, I have to say. The toothpick stuck through the burger was necessary to keep it together. (It's a BIG burger.) The salad was su4prisingly good. I don't usually expect salads at a burger place to be memorable. This one was. I will definitely come back here in the future!

It's a huge place but it still somehow feels like home. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves and they have tvs all over the place. I mentioned Abby but I'd like to give a shout out to everyone working, I accidentally dropped my drink and was cleaning the mess and two different staff members came and took over. Not gonna like, I was a little embarrassed but Abby (and another gentleman whose I didn't catch, my bad man) insisted on remaking my drink for me and made me feel less embarrassed. Food, food was locked in tight! The bumpkins (fire, it's an American bbq egg roll ) and the Dougie sandwich (a burger not to be taken lightly) were both so good I felt time stop for a moment. Looking for some killer bbq and a chill atmosphere, come here. It is a bit expensive but worth it, enjoy yo self.

We were in the area and craving BBQ. I've been to the Livermore location so I was excited to give…read morethis spot a try but low key it didn't hit the same. For two of us, we ended up getting the meat combo with the sausage, tri tip, burnt ends, and wings. For sides we went with the waffle fries and make a cheese. Honestly the best thing we had was the waffle fries with their seasoning. Easily some of the best tasting waffle fries I've had. For the meats though, it was a bit disappointing. Everything was kinda cold/room temp and didn't taste fresh. Even with the sauces added, I felt like the meats were pretty bland. Not sure if it was a bad day or not but it was a miss for me either way. If you are coming to watch sports though, this is a great spot. The space inside is so massive and TVs everywhere. Again, I think we might've gotten it on a bad day, so I wouldn't be opposed to trying it again if I'm back visiting the area.

The staff are always incredibly polite and helpful for newcomers with the extensive menu. The restaurant is always clean and simple. And the food is good! What more could you ask for? In particular, the meats are always delicious - everything from tri tip, to pulled pork, to ribs and hot links. I would say that if you like flavor and salt this is the place for you. The jalapeño cornbread muffins are also a frequent order for us, the texture is a little softer than most cornbread but we love the texture and flavor. The sweet potato fries are exactly what you expect, and they also come with this delicious chipotle ranch sauce. I am also really partial to their Mac and cheese, the noodles can sometimes be overdone but overall, the flavor is amazing and it always hits the spot. Their drinks on happy hour are so affordable and they are just what you need to end your day or week - lots of sugar and flavor! My partner always orders the Roadhouse Bleu Burger and it is a reliable, delicious offering that you can really enjoy again and again. I highly recommend coming on a Tuesday to get the Piggy Tuesdays deal. For $39, two people can enjoy a literal feast! 3 meats and 3 sides.

As an Asian American, I've always believed barbecue should come with rice, and I've never really connected with traditional coleslaw. Nox absolutely nailed the balance with their light Asian style slaw and perfectly seasoned rice. It felt both comforting and thoughtfully done. Thank you for creating a barbecue experience that feels both elevated and familiar.

Using the yelp app. Due to glitching with the internet service one order was duplicate 7 more times in error and the order went through. I contacted both GrubHub and the restaurant immediately to notify them the error. Thinking someone from the restaurant would also respond wondering if this was correct that someone would be ordering the same exact thing in quantity. Online with Grubhub they left me on hold for 45 minutes and once I reached this location, after I also sent an email, I was told to call another location that was closed. I held one line and called Grubhub from my husband's phone. We are now 30 minutes from the original order being placed and they say it's in process and can't be stopped. Two hours later a delivery person showed up with all this food. We try to declined the order and the driver, nice guy, tells us to call again to get it addressed. All this food going to go to waste. I was no longer hungry. 5 small salads and 8 brisket burgers. Charged for 9 meals. STILL WRONG. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE YELP PARTNERING WITH GRUBHUB!
