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...)

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

3 Meat Combination Plate: Half Rack Spare Ribs, Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Sliced Brisket, garlic mashed potatoes, and baked beans
Noah M.

The Baseline: For a sit down chain BBQ restaurant the bbq meats must be quality/tasty, the sides need to be a good accompaniment to the meats, the smoke flavor must be present, drinks should be stiff, service should be efficient, and the restaurant should have character. Food: The bbq at Sauced is pretty good with a good amount of smoke flavor and good consistency to the meat. The sides are really good with great garlic mashed potatoes and baked beans. For the meat I had good sized pork ribs, pull-apart brisket which were tasty but the smoke was a bit infused with smoke that left me with a little reflux (I fully admit it may be my anatomy on that issue). The pork belly I had was not very crisp so i might avoid that in the future. Four stars on the food. Service: Decent service but we came on Father's Day so it was busy. We got bar seating and we were taken care of pretty quickly but I had to wait for water refills. Ambiance: Great fun and great environment for a BBQ restaurant. Games, bar, outdoor patio, well organized tables and chairs. Super fun place to eat BBQ.

Tri Tip Plate
Kay K.

Food was...mediocre. It was served luke warm and the portions were very small for $26. Service was nice, and is the only reason I'm not giving it a 1-2 stars. Wouldn't return. Everything was pretty bad honestly. You could save money and eat basically anywhere else.

Ariana S.

My kids wanted bbq so we decided to try this spot. We came in on a Thursday evening, it was very cold outside so we decided to eat inside. This restaurant is huge, they have a lot of games and entertainment. Perfect for a date or just hanging out with friends. Service was very slow, it took our waiter forever to finally come and greet us. Mind you, it was very empty, there were only about 4-5 families inside. We ordered right away, the food did not take very long, but to get containers to go and the check took soooo long!! Maybe they are used to people just wanting to hang out.. idk.. I give the burnt ends sandwich a 10/10, definitely coming back for it again! Everyone liked their food, zero complaints there. Definitely will be back!!

3 Meat Combination Plate
Ken B.

I had the 3 meat combo. Spare Ribs: rate 7, tender nice smoke and flavor Burnt Ends: rate 5.5, lacks enough meat Brisket: rate 6.5 good bark, not enough moisture Overall their BBQ is ok, nothing to rave about. The brisket and burnt ends were the dealbreaker. I wish that the brisket was more tender and juicy and that the burnt ends had more meat and less fat, they were mostly fat.

Now, if you grew up eating soul food, like me, I do have some notes. - the Sunday Greens are just ok. They needed a little more seasoning unfortunately even after we tried adding a little salt. - seafood gumbo - similar to the greens, there was some flavor missing there unfortunately. Might give the greens another try, but think I'd try another dish over the gumbo next time. They still get 5 from me and I will definitely be back to try this one again!!

When we arrived around 6 PM on a Monday evening, we were the only party seated at tables, with the other handful of guests at the bar. Despite the uncrowded conditions, our server was not the most attentive or detail oriented. We had ordered 3 entrees and 3 appetizers and were hopeful that the food would make it out on time before walking over to Crypto Arena. However, as our meal was winding down, we called the server over to cancel one of the entrees, only to find that he hadn't noted that we ordered it. Overall, the food was ok, but the poor service makes me a bit less inclined to visit again.

Marcus gave us samples of the chicken gumbo and from the moment it touched my tongue, I was sold. I got a 32 ounce Gumbo and let me tell you, it was plenty. Everything was perfectly seasoned and packed full with some much pride and flavor. You could tell Marcus and his wife are passionate about their business and the product they're putting out. In addition to the chicken gumbo, I got the cornbread with the honey butter. Let me tell you something, I must've died and went to heaven. One of my friends' grandmothers made corn bread back in the day and this made me think of those times. The cornbread wasn't dry and the honey butter just amplified it to the next level.

Fried Chicken - 4 Star - I got two pieces. I am pretty sure they were deboned thighs. Seasoned and fried well with juicy meat and flavor in every bite. The fried batter texture is unique, very light and airy almost tempura-ish, but still crunchy, seasoned, and it highlighted the chicken rather then overpowering it. Shrimp Poboy - 4.5 Star - Absolutely nailed the shrimp on this one. Large, plump, seasoned and sauced exactly right letting that sweet shrimp meat really shine. The Cajun/Jerk Seasoning was great and the cabbage slaw took nothing away from it. The roll was thick so it held up very well, but it needed a bit more moisture to be perfect.

Although it's no longer my FAVORITE food and I only indulge sparingly, I still have an affinity for it, and can quickly separate the good from the bad. Willie Mae's can confidently go into the good pile. The perfect texture of the batter is the standout. It's light and crisp. Head to head, I think I prefer the flavors and juiciness of Gus's fried chicken. I'll have to give Willie Mae's another go to confirm that this is indeed the case. But Willie Mae's is situated in a better area, it's got civilized sit down table service, cuter decor, and it has way better sides.

She told me this branch was started by the same folks of the original in New Orleans. Due to a an issue with the freeway closure and horrible traffic, we were very late and she kindly honored our reservation. The food was fantastic. Great crunchy and spice on the chicken (it is on the spicy side so be careful if you cannot handle the heat). The little corn breads were just the right amount. We tried the yams, which is a must, but also shared some of the other sides. The cabbage is cooked kind of like collard greens. The butter beans and rice is very tasty. We also tried the mashed potatoes and gravy. All sides are vegan, which I thought was done for the local L.A. crowd, but we were told the sides are vegan in the original recipes. Next time I'd like to try the gumbo and other dishes on the menu.

First off, let's talk about the catfish. From the moment I took my first bite, I knew I was in for a treat. The fish was perfectly crispy on the outside, golden brown, and beautifully seasoned. It had that classic soul food flavor that reminded me of family gatherings around the dinner table. The texture was flaky and moist, making it one of the best catfish dishes I've had in a long time. Next up was the mac and cheese, which was another highlight for me. It was absolutely creamy, cheesy, and baked to perfection with just the right amount of crust on top. You can tell they use quality ingredients, and it truly comforted my soul. This is definitely a dish you'll want to savor! The BBQ baked beans were another delightful surprise. They were rich and flavorful, striking that perfect balance of sweetness and smoky notes that instantly transported me back to home-cooked meals. I loved every spoonful, and it's clear that this recipe has been perfected over time. Now, onto the cabbage. Even though they were served cold, I was pleasantly surprised by how good they tasted after a quick pop in the microwave. They had the right amount of seasoning, and the flavors were vibrant and authentic. It's nice to know that quality and taste remain intact, even when they need a quick reheating. The Kool-Aid was also a refreshing addition to my meal. It had just the right amount of sweetness nothing too syrupy or overpowering. It was a great way to wash down the wonderful flavors of my meal. However, I did encounter a bit of a letdown with the chicken wings. While I had high hopes for them, they ended up being overcooked, resulting in a hard and chewy texture. It was disappointing since everything else was so good. I wouldn't order the wings again, but that's the beauty of soul food; there are so many other amazing options to explore! As for the service, it was adequate but could use some improvement. The staff was friendly enough, but I felt they could have been a bit more attentive. A little more engagement would have enhanced the overall dining experience. In summary, I highly recommend this food spot for the catfish, mac and cheese, and BBQ baked beans. It's a comforting, homey place where you can find some fantastic dishes that will make your taste buds sing. Just skip the wings, and I think you'll leave with a happy heart and a satisfied belly. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to dive into more of their delicious offerings!
