Loved the pulled brisket sandwich. I can't wait til I'm in the area again to have another sandwich. Food was great and affordable.

Pulled brisket was a huge letdown. The texture of the meat seemed like it was cooked in a crockpot, not a smoker.

It smells in here ... because Abby is THE SHIT!…read more To be real, this wasn't where I was trying to go but it's where I ended up and I couldn't be happier. 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.

Disappointed with the ordering process to deliver. We used…read moreyelp to find a place to eat after 10pm. Visiting the area we selected to get it delivered. 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!

Cute little spot, a little bit hard to see from the streets…read moreParking is also a little bit hard to find, but it's midtown so you know it does have a lovely walk Food is incredible. I tried out the barbecue platter and it was incredibly juicy flavorful barbecue with amazing mashed potatoes just the right amount of butter, salty and creamy Staff was quick with the food just not super chatty so perfect if you are more introverted

Needed some good bbq for Super Bowl Sunday. Family BBQ was close to my neighborhood and my usual go…read moreto Kaylo's was unavailable that day, amongst the other bbq spots in town, that happened to be closed.......on Sundays??........ehh. So I thought I'd try Family's. Ordered the brisket and chicken and a slice of pecan pie. The brisket was aight', well done and pretty light on the sauce. The chicken, really dry, yet enough sauce. The pecan pie was ample. I think I might have made it better on my own.....and I've never made a pecan pie before. I'm a small business supporter, and so I thought I'd give Family's another try. The next weekend....... Back to the previous week, while waiting for our food, a couple was waiting for cornbread they had ordered, and were waiting the entire time, and then some, during the entire time I had been there to place, wait, pay and leave with my order. So I'm thinkin' "this cornbread must be good! and popular." When I called the next week, to place an order which included this supposedly amazing (the story I made up in my head) cornbread, we were told that there wouldn't be any cornbread that day due to the fact they didn't have the ingredients to make, said cornbread. With a Raley's AND Save-Mart within walking distance from Family's. None the less, I'm gonna try a third time.....cause I hear that's the charm. I gotchu' Family's, I want to see you succeed and I wanna make you one of my spots, in case Kaylo's decides to go m.i.a. again. Ambience was cool, may wanna turn up the decor and 'vibe' a bit. East Sac folks can be a bit boojie, as I sit here calling the kettle black.

We got a couple racks of ribs, brisket, pulled pork, cornbread, beans and Mac and Cheese. Everything was amazing and even my pickiest guest left happy. We will definitely be hitting him up again for our next function and welcome home party.

Wow that was incredible!…read more For my dad's birthday and fathers day we ordered bbq tri-tip, ribs and mac and cheese. My brother and his wife found Silverback BBQ through a friend who highly recommended trying this for a party. We wanted something special for the birthday and my dad loves bbq. Ok we all love it but this was all geared for my dad. I bbq and smoke meats sometimes so I have some idea what to expect. I knew the food was going to be great just from word of mouth and some of the pictures on his site so the expectations were high. We paid extra to have the food delivered. Communication and payment was easy. Silverback BBQ (Carl is his name if I recall) and his wife both delivered the food. I was worried it might be cold but the special container he used, some kind of large carrier or crate kept the food very warm. It was steaming when everything was placed on the table. The smell was amazing! He proceeded to cut up the tri-tip into slices. I can't remember if the ribs were already cut or not before or during. He had made everything to our own specifications. We wanted medium well, somewhat spicy with some sweet and that's exactly what we got. The tri-tip had a beautiful cherry smoke ring on it. It was juicy and tender. The ribs were perfect. Again juicy, easy to bite off the bone but it didn't just fall apart, had some pull to it(which is good!). Flavor was great. Let's just say my sister who never eats ribs had a second helping. Price was great for everything that was included. I wasn't expecting Carl to also cut the tri-tip in front of us and serve everything. He took a lot of care to make things very enjoyable and I'm serious about that. Aside from the food I give his service 100% perfect. The whole process was entertaining and fun plus he took pictures with my dad and some of the family. I can't describe his personality with enough credit. He's just a cool dude for lack of a better word. Professional but cool. Looking forward to the next event when we can order more!
