Came by for dinner tonight after ordering takeout from here in the past, and felt it was time to…read moreshare a review. Overall I left with mixed feelings, but did enjoy the meal all things considered. Sauced is located in the Cinemark plaza across from Pitfire. Parking directly in front is limited, but there is plenty in the surrounding area. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, along with bar seating. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance as it can get busy. Service was pretty good overall, our server was friendly and the manager was making the rounds too which was nice. My only critique is that it did take a little bit of time to get service on things when we needed it, but did have things addressed quickly once we'd get our servers attention. On the food front, I got the ribs, brisket, mac & cheese, green beans, baked beans, and slaw. The brisket and ribs both came out very dry unfortunately, but the ribs were flavorful (the provided bbq sauces also helped). The mac & cheese was on the grainy side, but the baked beans and green beans were delicious. The Cole slaw was fine, a bit bland but nothing to write home about. I must admit that the food tasted better when I had ordered takeout a couple years back, which is why I had hoped today's meal would be even better than it was. It's also a pretty pricey meal for how much food you get, so I was hoping the quality of the meat would've been better. I don't think this place is bad by any means, but it does feel like the quality has gone down. I'd certainly be open to visiting again in the future, and hope things are better next time.

The mac and cheese was pretty bland but a good option for kids. Pandan banana pudding has great pandan flavor but the texture of the cream was a bit foamy.

I'm assuming chicken wasn't as popular but families like ours, where chicken is a preferred meat, will unfortunately not be able to come back bc of the missing healthier option.

All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

FIVE STARS, hands down!!…read more We've been coming here for 20 years and I'm finally writing a review! This place is a hidden gem, just south of the city of Placentia in east Anaheim. They smoke their high quality meats on property. So good you don't even need sauce but they have spicy and regular and you can buy a bottle of sauce to take home. Order at the window and server brings food to your table. Everyone is really nice here. Very clean. Never, ever had a bad meal. My only complaint is I wish they had baked potatoes. The company my husband works for has had them cater several times. Everyone raved about how great the food was.

If you love real barbecue, Evan's Smokehouse is one of those places you keep coming back to…read more The brisket is undeniable -- perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. One of my favorite ways to order it is the Austin Midnight brisket sandwich, which is absolutely incredible. My personal go-to though is the Carolina Sandwich -- pulled pork, topped with homemade coleslaw on a brioche bun. Every Bite is amazing! The coleslaw is outstanding and balances the pulled pork perfectly. Honestly, all of the meats here are fantastic. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the house links have such a great balance of flavor with a little bit of heat. The sides are just as memorable. The mac and cheese is as creamy as it gets, the beans have incredible flavor, and the cornbread with green chiles is so delicious. But the potato salad is a must. I order the potato salad every single time I eat here. It's one of those sides that you start craving after you've had it once. And don't leave without dessert -- Chef Evan is a pastry chef on top of being an incredible pitmaster, and the Nana pudding is the perfect finish. Beyond the food, Evan is just a genuinely great human being who really cares about his craft and the people he serves. You can taste the care in the food and feel it in the atmosphere. I've also ordered catering from him and always feel incredibly taken care of. It's rare to find someone who puts this much heart into what they do.

I love this spot!!…read more The food is always fresh and I've gone different times of the day and think oh today will be a miss but till this freaking day it always hits like how?! It's really good bbq quality. The sides are really good too, the chili brisket needs a bigger size cuz I could eat that all day long, the mac n cheese is really good too I like eating them together lol. Brisket is amazing, ribs are Amazing. Only thing I would like to see is bbq sauce on the side I like the taste of the meat without it being smothered, it's better as a dipping sauce. The area is clean and like a backyard scene, the cook and service is cool they be just ready to cook and serve in that spaceship lol. This place is a hidden gem! 8/10 What's it needs: Different or more dipping sauce options: Dijon mustard bbq, Spicy siracha bbq sauce, chipotle Smokey bbq sauce. I'm just throwing ideas out here. Bigger or more sizes for the sides Keep sauces as dipping sides and add salt and pepper before serving. These would make it a 10/10 as a fact not opinion.

My wife had an appointment with our optometrist so we decided to grab some lunch before we went…read more After looking at options in Yelp, we decided to check out Smoke and Fire. It turned out to be a great choice. The prices are very reasonable and food was excellent. The brisket was extremely tender and the tangy bbq sauce on the side was great. The Texas Toast was buttery and just the right thickness. Their brisket quesadilla was also quite appetizing and the portion was generous. We'll definitely consider coming back the next time we have another optometrist appointment in the area. The restaurant is located in a large strip mall that's quite busy but there is a lot of parking so no problems there. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself was very clean. They have a patio area next door if you want to take advantage of a sunny day. A good choice if you're in the area.

I'm surprised that this place specializes in brisket but does not have a basic brisket sandwich on the menu. They do have a brisket grilled cheese but that wasn't what we were going for. I even asked if we could get the brisket grilled cheese without the cheese, but apparently they don't do that.... Make it make sense... Why do you care if I have the cheese on it or not. I don't understand how you have brisket tacos, brisket quesadilla but don't have a basic brisket sandwich? Seems odd. In the end it didn't really matter because the brisket was terrible anyways. It was definitely not fresh (a dead giveaway was it was about 50% cold and 50% lightly warmed) pretty good indication that it came out of the refrigerator. It was also very dry and when I say "fell apart" it was more like crumbled apart. The one positive though was the mac & cheese! It was out of this world delicious, over the top amazing probably the best mac & cheese I've ever had. It was piping hot and cooked perfectly! I feel like it must've been a very off night for this restaurant, based on the majority of their reviews, I had very high expectations that it would be amazing. I was kind of bummed that it fell very short of amazing.

Hubby ordered the pulled pork taco and liked it as well. I also ordered a cornbread muffin with smoked apricot jam. That was just okay. May have been better if it was warmed up. The lady and guy working at the truck were super friendly and customer-service oriented. 5 stars for the service!
