Paulla L.

I've wanted to eat here for a while... I finally got the chance to eat at '"sauced'" today. The service was amazing. Everyone was happy and accommodating. The restaurant was very spacious. The food was good; the bbq ribs were the best item that I personally enjoyed. My guest enjoyed the brisket. Overall I would recommend this spot.

The Big Smoke (party platter)
Brian V.

4++ As the name suggests, BBQ spot with a wide selection of spirits located in the South Bay. This place is pretty large and the cool thing as they can accommodate large parties, but also have tables for nights out for a couple couples, etc. I believe I've been to their original location in Livermore because my parents live near that location. And each of the times I've wanted I've had a pretty good time. This visit was for a really large party for one of my good friend's birthdays. We ordered one of the large platters that more than fed all of us. The barbecue items and the sides were all pretty darn good. I didn't drink this time around because I had to drive somewhere right after but they do have a great selection of drinks. Just a really solid place if you want good barbecue in a fun atmosphere. Seemed like there's plenty of parking in the area, which is also a plus.

Chopped Salad, Texas Toast, Ribs
Karen L.

We went to Sauced for the first time with a group of seven people on Saturday night. I wasn't sure I was in an arcade or a bbq restaurant. Service was very good but I didn't love the ribs. They were very difficult to cut with a knife and too tough for me. I did love the side chopped salad that came with the ribs and the Texas Toast. We also had the Burnt Ends, BBQ Chicken, Brisket, and the Tri Tip sandwich. Everything was just okay but I would probably order something else next time.

I was having such mixed emotions with Sauced... only because when I'd visit Whole Foods nearby, I always noticed Sauced looked empty or very little business. I was able to book my company sales dinner here and boy they did not disappoint! First and foremost booking reservation for 20 over phone was super fast and easy. Gentleman over the phone was super kind and even mentioned if I need it a little less noise he could book my reservation for a different spot in restaurant... but loud is what we wanted with good vibes and music. My party arrived earlier than I did which thankfully they gave my name and were seated quickly. Upon arrival the seated area was perfect and we were asked what we'd like to drink quickly. Once food was ordered it was quick! Waiters and waitresses came out and served together and were so attentive to asking if we needed anything. I cannot wait to return and maybe try axe throwing and more games. Food was great service was great and their restrooms are beautiful and clean!

Old Fashion
Sokna S.

Food: 3/5 Burnt ends, corn, slice bread were all very tasty! The drinks were the highlight! The burnt ends tasted good, a bit too much sauce for me. The corn was great! The old Fashions really hit the spot. Service: 5/5 Staff was awesome! Very quick, friendly, and accommodating! Ambience: 5/5 Great decor, games, seating!

Went here with family and it was chill. Lots of parking in the lot outside and it was pretty easy coming in to get a table. The food was not bad. We ordered the 3 meat dish (pulled pork, brisket, ribs, mac n cheese and mashed potatoes), which fed me, my husband, and my momma. My in-laws ordered the 3 meat too except with the pork belly, sweet potato tots, and beans. Theirs was also good. I like that they offer high chairs and booster seats for the kiddos that you can just easily grab. We didn't try the axe throwing but that area seemed so rowdy. Love the plethora of televisions all around too. My only complaint is I think there needs to be more employees working. It took way too long to get our orders taken. Not to mention, we had to wait forever for staff to even walk by when we needed plates to eat our food. I was looking around at the tables, and I saw multiple people (including myself) trying to wave down the server. One woman even got up to wait by the server as she was taking an order at another table. P.S. The mac-n-cheese was delicious!

Swamp Fries!
Lisa Y.

I've been to the Sauced in San Jose, but the El Segundo location definitely has a different vibe! It's bigger, much livelier, has a separate bar, and lots of game space (e.g. bocce ball outside, ax throwing, darts, and arcade). One thing that I'm glad stayed consistent are their Rednexican Nachos and Swamp Fries! The Rednexican Nachos come with poblano queso, black beans, corn, jalapeno, cilantro, and tin roof with your choice of smoked chicken, pulled pork, or chopped brisket. I appreciate that they offer both a Runt and Full Size because the Full size is huge! The Swamp Fries have house rub, brisket, poblano queso, baked beans, tin roof, chipotle lime, ranch, and green onion. Also very tasty. Their bbq dishes are pretty good, but these two menu items are what keep us coming back! I got a 2 Meat Combo to share with sliced brisket and brisket burnt ends. The burnt ends are always a fave and the brisket was tender. For our sides, we got the Roasted Garlic Greens Beans and the Sweet Potato Casserole. The Green Beans were ok--a little soggy and not very garlicky. The Sweet Potato was just mashed sweet potato with some brown sugar on top. Probably wouldn't get that side again. I tried some of the BBQ Glazed Salmon with caramelized tin roof, mashed potatoes corn succotash, fried onion strings, cornbread, and cinnamon butter. The salmon was moist and pretty tasty. Would get this again!

Jalapeño cheesy grits and jalapeño slaw...delicious
Irene Q.

Had a hankering for BBQ Chicken and it was exactly what I needed. Half chicken with 2 sides, potato salad and slaw. Coming back again and again for this delicious meal! Service on a Sunday evening was great! Ambiance/ sat at the high tables at the bar. It wasn't quiet but it wasn't crowded. Perfect dinner!

3 meat plate...burnt ends (no), ribs (hell no), jalapeño cheddar sausage (yes), mac & cheese (hell yes), and cornbread (meh...)
Miten P.

TL;DR Version: Most disgusting bbq I've ever had in 38 years of planetary existence. Full Story: I'm from Texas and this review is my version of a bad broken record... ... .... ..... ...... No. Hell no. Disrespectful. Absurd. Preposterous. Wildly Disrespectful. How dare you? No. Just no. Nice spicy bbq sauce though! Tasty! As for everything else... ... .... ..... ...... No. Hell no. Disrespectful. Absurd. Preposterous. Wildly Disrespectful. How dare you? No. Just no. ... .... ..... ...... In case it wasn't clear Sauced: Your food is complete, uboliterated garbage that you should be ashamed to serve. Your service is way too average to below average to ever justify paying stupid prices for such unobliterated, hot garbage food. I hope your restaurant fails gratuitously very soon. The restaurant's existence feels like a s*** stain on my neighborhood. I've never been so angry eating bbq in my life. I wouldn't feed your trashy, dry a** ribs, disgusting burnt ends with 0 meat and 100% fat, and jalapeno cheese sausage that had 0 spice to a starving, stray dog on its last legs. Also, your cornbread is a goddamn abomination and you deserve to actually be arrested by federal authorities for trafficking such traumatic and violently disgusting food to humans who eat with these things known as "taste buds." THAT is NOT cornbread. THAT is white California girl BULLS***. This place also astonishingly just lathers their awful food in weird sauces and glazes like it's going to somehow magically make the food edible... New name for Sauced: Lipstick on a Pig. You can have that name for free Lipstick on a Pig...I won't even file for the IP rights! I really hate you Lipstick on a Pig.

Cheddar Jalapeno Sausage, pork belly burnt ends
Jim E.

Food was ok, had the pork belly burnt ends, they were overcooked, the jalapeno cheddar sausage was ok but not vet spicy. Had rice and garlic mash for sides, they were the best part of the meal. Service was mediocre, waiter did not check on us to the end of the meal, no water refills until the end of the meal. It's more of a sports bar than anything else and it is very noisy. Conversations are difficult. Prices were ok but near the high end, Quality and Service makes this someplace that I will not return to.

Johana H.

Random stopped by. When we yelped it it looked like a chill spot with plenty of entertainment. We came on Labor Day and it was not as crowded but still very chill including the service. The bbq was good but the sides were okay. I got the smoked 1/2 chicken which was good but nothing special and the smoked tri tip which I thought was just right and tender. The coleslaw just didn't hit like other ones have while the garlic mashed potatoes tasted a little too overseasoned and so did the Mac and cheese. However, my fiancé got the baked potato with Mac and cheese stuffed inside and that was delicious! Flavored just right. They have an arcade as well as axe throwing and bocce in the front. I can see this spot turning up on other days but I understand might have been a little dead since people were out of town. Plenty of parking spots in this big shopping center with other stores.

3 Meat Combo with Ribs, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Brisket, Sweet Potato Casserole, & Corn Succotash ($45)  06-14-2025
Alana M.

We love Sauced! We are glad there's one in El Segundo! Hubby & I came here with our son and his wife on a Sunday evening. We all had a great time while noshing on the flavorful foods! This is a great place for fun, food, and drinks! If you want to throw axes, they have 4 cages where you can pay to play. There are also some dart boards. Not sure if you have to rent the darts to play. Outside, they have a few lawn games... bocce ball and I think cornhole What we ordered: *3 Meat Combo with Brisket, Tri-Tip, Brisket Burnt Ends, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, & Baked Beans *3 Meat Combo with Ribs, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Brisket, Sweet Potato Casserole, & Corn Succotash ~ The Pork Belly Burnt Ends were thick tasty pieces that were cooked nicely. *Corn Bread & Butter ~ you get four large pieces of corn bread in an order. The corn bread has bits of corn in it. It comes with some sweet butter and is really good! The meats were full of smoky goodness! They have four different BBQ Sauces. I am a fan of the Hot Tin Roof and our D-I-L loves the Pig Candy. This is a place we will come back to for our BBQ fix!

3 Meat Combo
Lisi M.

service and atmosphere was 5 stars, great for an after work get together-- our server was great, the happy hour drinks were a great deal. The issue was really the food, everything was just mid, with some of it not being eaten at all. the pretty good-- cheddar jalapeño sausage, brisket was decent (i'm not a bbq snob i'm from california), mac and cheese/beans were decent, cornbread was ok the meh - pulled pork, pork burnt ends, tri tip do not order - sweet potato mash really just depends what you're looking for, if it's great bbq i would skip but it's great for after work drinks

I ordered the following items from the menu: St. Louis-style ribs, Beef rib, brisket, potato salad, coleslaw, and chili. The St. Louis-style ribs were very easy to bite into and flavorful. The beef rib (only available Fri.-Mon) was perfectly tender, smoky, and fatty. The bark wasn't excessively thick, which I appreciated. The brisket, which I got the fatty part of (they ask you if you want the lean or fatty cut) was my favorite of the three. So fatty, juicy and satisfying to eat. None of the meats really needed the sweet bbq sauce I got with the meal. The side items were spot-on as well. The potato salad, coleslaw and chili were the best I've had in quite some time. I regret not getting some chili to go. I have a sneaking suspicion a nice helping of it on hotdogs would be amazing. Can't wait to come back to this place. Forgot to order the jalapeño sausages while I was here. Looking forward to trying that on my next visit.
