There's no point to put in an order to be picked up at a later time because they don't set food aside for those orders. I called in 3 hrs ahead of when I wanted to pick up my food and when I get there, I'm only told that they were out of chicken. I also clearly ordered Mac and cheese, which no one told me they were also out of, and when I get home and open my box, I have green beans. I wasted $20 on like 3 ribs (since they were out of chicken) and 5 slices of tri tip and got my order changed without even letting me know. This trip was a waste of money.

I don't care what you do in Sacramento you should get by here on a Saturday morning around 10:45 (be early). It matters not what some of the reviews are saying about potatoes salad being store bought; that's a lie. The food is still good and make no mistake about it the BBQ meats are the real star of the show anyway. Come by and support a black owned business. Let's build up our own communities for a change.

Massive Brewery, Great BBQ & a Fun Oktoberfest Find!!!…read more This place is massive: a 15,600 sqft craft brewery and Texas style BBQ joint. Parking: limited street parking Restroom: Decent, clean stalls Ambience: Traditional farmhouse style with a large outdoor patio and beautiful chestnut trees. It feels like a combination of a British pub, German biergarten, and Texas smokehouse. Sound: Can get loud, depending on the tables around you. Dog and family friendly. Recommended: * Their flagship West Coast IPA is aptly named "Like Riding a Bike." It's crisp and citrusy with a clean finish. * You can get samples at the bar before deciding. * I also really like Smart Decisions, an American Brown Ale. * For BBQ, my favorite is the pork belly with mac & cheese. The pork is so tender and doesn't need any extra BBQ sauce. * Since it's Oktoberfest season, our group also ordered the jumbo pretzels and bratwurst to take advantage of the Oktoberfest offer. Surprise at the bar: They also have Underberg, a German herbal digestif with a strong, bitter herbal taste. Traditionally enjoyed after meals to aid digestion. Wasn't expecting to see it here! Awards: Named California Brewery of the Year at the California Craft Brewers Cup, with multiple gold and silver medals for their beers, including awards at the State Fair and World Beer Cup.

Got a pound of brisket for $28. It was cooked medium well and chewy. It had a nice smoky flavor but wished it was medium rare. They have 4 bbq sauces. Tried the traditional which has minimal spice. The spicy has habaneros in it which gives it a kick. Clean atmosphere with lots of tvs to watch the games. Service was good. My order was ready within 10 min bc it was empty.

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!

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!
