Urban Roots is always such a fun spot if you want a casual meal with good food, good beers and a…read moregreat location. We stopped in during a roadtrip as this location is easily accessible from the highway, with street parking all around. We order the 1/4lb tri tip, 1/2lb turkey, cornbread, bread roll, coleslaw, collared greens and broccoli salad. The food was great! They also have a variety of made in house bbq sauces, sweet and spicy, so it's good for every taste. Today I also got a blackberry tart ale which was delicious: sweet and slightly tart. My favorite thing about this place though is the atmosphere. They have both outdoor and indoor seating, and we sat in the side patio area which tends to be more quiet.

Second time here. I guess my first visit wasn't particularly memorable but this time was great…read more Menu options are a plenty, great vibe, and options for indoor and outdoor seating. When we first walked up, the place was super busy with the outdoor seating area and queue full. There were still members of our group that were on their way, so we didn't mind waiting in line. They had kids menus available to look at, and even thought the stack for regular menus was out, some people in line were kind enough to hand us theirs when they were done. I stared at the menu the whole time I was in line. I think I was just hungry and the strong barbecue smell in the restaurant was making me crave everything. I eventually landed on a barbecue burger and decided to sub the fries with collard greens to be somewhat "healthy," and also because my husband was getting fries. What's his is mine. Ordering at the register was quick. They had a nonalcoholic frozen drink option that I was tempted to get since I don't drink. I'd recommend giving it a try if you don't mind parting with $10. I think it was $2 extra dollars to get a similar drink with alcohol too. Also, there is a separate line for ordering beer, so if you have a decent-sized group like we did, maybe consider splitting up to grab a table and join the beer line. We lucked out with one of the longer tables next to the bathrooms. Side note: they have hand-washing stations separate from the area with the toilets, so super clutch if you just need to clean up before you start touching all your food. Our orders seemed to come out as they were ready, and overall maybe 15-20 minutes, which is decent considering how packed the place was. My burger was delicious. Meat was on the medium-well side, but I don't mind a little more cook as long as it's still juicy, which was the case. Cheese was melted, onion rings were crisp, bun wasn't soggy, and there was a generous bed of jalapeños under the patty. It wasn't overly spicy or anything, but it did provide a nice noticeable difference in texture. The collard greens, I would say right now, are pretty high on my list of collard greens I've had in my life, and I order them if I ever see them on any menu since it's not often I find them. It was a decent amount, but I wished there was double once I was done. As we were finishing our food, some nice staff members were quick to come clean up our dishes. We were so satisfied with our meal and drinks that we almost forgot we needed to catch an escape room!

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.

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!

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.

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!
