    The signs leading up to Samnzar Smoke Shack
    Amber K.

    Discovered this place on my way out to Dillon beach last week. My family and I stopped to get some snacks when we saw the cute roadside signs leading up to their stand. I've had lots of smoked salmon in my life. My dad and I used to take fishing trips to Alaska and at the time, I thought smoked salmon couldn't get any better. I was wrong! Sebastopol has the best kept secret when it comes to smoked fish. Wow! Samnzar knows how to do it right, and the guy running the stand was so friendly. 10/10 would recommend. We will be back!

    My family and I have been coming here for years now. Greg is such a good guy and his side-kick is super cute Samnzar Smoke Shack produces some of the best salmon we've ever had. I highly recommend his smoked fish to anyone in the Sonoma County area. You won't better smoked salmon in the north bay. He sets the bar for what it means to taste quality.

    Great selections! This is so much more than a produce market. They have lots of high-quality…read morefoods. They're produce is especially nice as well.

    As other posts have made note of, this is for the BBQ and not the actual market…read more Got a tri tip sandwich and pork rib plate. The tri tip tasted like it was cooked in the microwave - absolutely zero char and the meat was a pale gray color. If I didn't order tri-tip, I would have thought it was diced pork loin cooked in a strange tomato sauce, thrown onto a dry roll. The sandwich was slightly under room temp to the touch The plate was unfortunately not better. The pork ribs as described before me also had 0 char and were covered in a dry (?) rub with the consistency of damp bread crumbs. The taste was okay, but the execution just so not hitting the mark. Beans tasted like they were simmered in tomato paste, and the Mac n cheese had split and it was mostly grease on top of a strange cheese/macaroni conglomerate. The cornbread tasted like corn tortillas that had sat in a moist prep container for hours on end -bland, slightly musty, and also mushy. Andy's is an awesome market but boy oh boy is this BBQ stand not it. Maybe it was super good at one time but what I experienced is not something I would have eaten for free, yet alone the $40ish I spent to toss into the trash shorty after. The guy working the stand was nice and friendly at least. But please do better or don't at all, it's not fair to charge this much for food this low of quality.

    Still my absolute favorite goat farm - I love the baby goats, the adult goats, the sustainability…read morepractices, the family run farm... I've been going here for years now and they are the nicest most wonderful people who give good tours and have wonderful silly and snuggly baby goats! They give you real time with them and don't have a forced amount of time on each part of the tour - unlike Harley goat farm. You can skip the tour and just hung with the baby goats the whole time if you want! Also can come early or stay late depending on when if there's another tour that day. I get enough time with the baby goats - and I loooove baby goats so that's saying something! Bring a meal if you want to eat and hangout at their picnic tables. I've gotten to milk the goats a few times, feed the adults, be there for a goat birth (just happened while on the tour!), and have all the baby goat snuggles and silliness. Love the family farm, love the folks who run the baby goat tours/visits. Also a cute town to go into after for food, beverage, also wine tastings nearby. I recommend a second set of clothes to change into after in case you get dirty (goats are relatively clean, but they're goats so not like indoor pets. I let the baby goats climb all over me.)

    We are a family of six, including three generations - all of which thoroughly enjoyed the tour! We…read morecuddled baby goats, fed their mothers and learned about goat farming along the way. The farm is beautiful and Jennifer is a great guide. Highly recommended!

    The food was amazing! We came here before heading to the Doran beach for the day. Everything was…read moreamazing. We got pork ribs, pulled pork, two types of links and sides- Mac and cheese, collard greens, and baked beans. Plus corn bread and for dessert the banana pudding. The cons were few and even though I'd list these as a con everything was still amazing - the greens were a little salty but when I ate them with some beans or the Mac and cheese the flavor balanced out. On their own just a tiny bit too salty. The cornbread was a tad too dry. The pros were basically EVERYTHING else. And the surprise treat of banana pudding made everyone's eyes go BIG a tasting the amazing flavor and lovely consistency of the pudding. Definitely save room for dessert!!! I have to admit though - BBQ and sides are very subjective if you have a great BBQ boss/ soul food chef in your family... truly everything on our table was AMAZING. The restaurant was homey, clean and inviting with picnic tables and lots of napkins within reach. Even though it was lunchtime on a weekend we had fast and friendly service and we didn't need to wait long for our food. We can't wait to come back!!!

    Came here for lunch on a Saturday around 11:20/11:25. We ordered a rack of pork ribs, a pound of…read morebrisket (half fatty and half lean), a jalapeño cheddar sausage, and a half chicken. four sides we got the mac & cheese, potato salad, honey cornbread, apple coleslaw, and the banana pudding. I think I like the fatty brisket more but the brisket was too salty. The Jalapeño cheddar sausage way too spicy, I mean, I know it's a jalapeño so it's supposed to be spicy, but it was like really really spicy. The pork ribs were mine and everyone's my favorite. They weren't really dry and had a good smoke flavor. The chicken was good and had a good smoke but some pieces were a little dry. All the side were good despite some bad reviews on Yelp. Mac and cheese not too heavy. I like their spin on potato salad it wasn't heavy at all. The pickled onions, were good, Apple slaw was really good. Usually I don't get coleslaw, but this was really nice refreshing and help cut through the salt. The banana pudding was really nice. The honey biscuit was tough and not soft. Service was great and friendly and they answered all my questions. We timed coming here really great. When we got here there was only one person in line and by the time I went to pay, the line was to the other side of the dining area. They have a few tables outside and a cover tent area and they have a good handful of tables inside. Pretty solid barbecue but some things were pretty salty. However with that I would still say this is the best BBQ in Sonoma County. Overall 4.3/5
