Great Food Trailer at Sim's BBQ on Sundays-8458 Bond Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624 This is a mobile barbecue trailer that travels to different places and events. Once a week, its in elk Grove at the above mentioned address. The trailer is parked along a street thus providing poor parking. It is primarily a takeout and has many different items available. Once you place your order a pager is given which lets you know when your order is ready. The quality is first rate and the prices are fair for what you're getting. The staff is very friendly and know the product well. They serve Ribs, Beef Brisket, Tri-Tip, Pull Pork, Chicken and, All Beef Hot or Mild Links. The sides are Potato Salad, Green Beans, Baked Beans, & Cole Slaw. Sims' Southern Punches looked really good! I had the ribs with potato salad and beans. Really excellent, although I did find the brown barbecue sauce to be a little strong for me. The quality of the ribs and taste really hit the spot! Sim's is not there every week, but when it's there-well worth trying it out. read more

Found on Facebook Ribs were well seasoned and tendèr,just the way I like them The potato salad was good with lots of vegetables which made for a good presentation Wanted more later but they sold out. Highly recommend. read more

I really wanted to like this BBQ truck, but after dropping about $90, we ended up going somewhere else for burgers. The food just wasn't it. 2 stars for polite service and a pretty truck. The brisket was cut super thin and came out tough and dry, even though I specifically asked for the moist side. The ribs were hard and they gave us the back pieces you'd usually feed to the dogs. The beef links were the only thing worth mentioning -- those were actually good. The sides didn't help either. The potato salad was mushy and had no flavor. The beans were basically al dente (if that's even possible?) and also bland. The BBQ sauce is a thin, watery vinegar-based sauce with a spicy kick -- not my thing at all. Dessert didn't redeem anything. The banana pudding had zero banana in it, and the Biscoff banana pudding was only decent because the cookie butter covered up everything else. We also paid an extra $3 each for their "mystery teas." The brown one -- I'm guessing a tamarind Arnold Palmer -- was actually really good. The bright green one tasted like lime Kool-Aid. It honestly hurts to write this because I wanted to enjoy it, but it just missed the mark all around. If you know real BBQ, this ain't it. read more

Get there while it's still fresh and hot out of the smoker! Can't go wrong here except when they're in a rush the meat may not be fall off the bones. Love it when they have their Sunday Elk Grove pop up. read more

Soooo I was on my way to get some grocery store lasagna and made a U-turn when I saw the beautiful Sims barbecue truck. Here are my good points. The truck is very welcoming and clean and the staff are nice and the menu was very legible, although it would be nice if the menu were bigger because I felt I needed to take a picture of it to look at it on my phone as opposed to walking very close to look at it on their truck. I like that they have buzzers to notify you when your food is ready, and it only took them about 5 to 10 minutes to have my order which I thought was great. Now onto the food. For $26 I was able to get sliced brisket with two sides a dinner roll and a can of soda or water which I think is a reasonable price these days with inflation. The baked beans were good with a little bit of sweetness, as you would expect with baked beans . The coleslaw was good and not over sweetened and I was OK with the less mayo as some like there's soupy. They served me about five slices of brisket, which I thought was pretty generous however, it was not tender enough for me. I am used to my brisket being Very easy to bite through, but this one was too tough for my liking so I chopped up the brisket into tiny pieces and stir fried with my own barbecue sauce. And about the barbecue sauce, the sauce was a little spicy, which I think customers should be warned in case they don't like spicy barbecue sauce and I think if you have a spicy sauce, you should also have a mild alternative. Lastly, which I see a trend in many barbecue establishments is that they don't serve cornbread, but serves either a Hawaiian roll or sliced bread. I think to give a good barbecue southern experience cornbread should always be on the menu in my opinion. Also, there was no mac & cheese or greens on the menu which to me are staple side dishes that should be available and concerning drinks sweet tea I think should be an option. I had a few other suggestions, but I will stop and wish these guys the best and since they've been around since 1937 sounds like they'll be just fine. read more

Sim's Bar-B-Que - Sims barbecue truck menu - Caterers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I went to Green Acres today and while I was inside, my son grabbed me lunch from their food truck. Upon my first glance I could tell that I wouldn't like it because the tri-tip was smothered in BBQ sauce which is typically a good indicator of the meat not being cooked very well. I was right. First bite and I had to chew and chew. All I tasted was BBQ sauce too. Their beans were okay and their potato salad tastes like Reeser's potato salad from the grocery store. The plate was $28. Not worth the mediocre food. The one bite I had of each food item was enough for me. I came home and ate Strawberries that I had just picked up. I just want Elk Grove to have decent BBQ place. Next up, I'll try Streetzlan and then Horn because the other BBQ places in EG are not great either. Id rather drive to Tankhouse in midtown. read more

Came to the pop up after seeing them on instagram. The aroma of the bbq hit my nose as soon as I arrived. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the food. I choose the tri tip nachos and the biscoff pudding and both ten of ten. Definitely look forward to their next pop up. read more

Best pulled pork, BBQ brisquet and collard greens in the US at a very reasonable price.

I have been eating Sims BBQ for 20 years. I have traveled the world looking for better and I have not found it. I am so thrilled that they are doing pop ups in Elk Grove. I am there every week that they are open including today. Their food is the absolute best. The consistency of the great taste coupled with the wonderful service makes for a splendid experience. If you haven't had a chance to visit them, it's a must on your to do list. read more

I had Sims BBQ many times and every time, I enjoy it thoroughly. I've never had a bad dish. The ribs are great, the chicken and brisket are delicious and the service is next to none. Great food and Great people...you can't go wrong. read more

If you're in the mood for real Southern flavor, Sims Bar-B-Que is the spot. From the moment you walk near the trailer the smell of slow-smoked meats hits. I tried three things the Brisket Nachos. (Best nachoes I've had in my life.) The beef hot link sausage. ELITE !!! And the usual, a chopped brisket sandwich. If I lived in Cali it would be the only place I would get bbq! read more

I ran across Sims BBQ and it is delicious. The next week I took my friends over there and we all got something different and shared. It was great. And the service is top notch. If you're looking for some good BBQ you should check out Sim's! read more

The food was great. The wait time was a little long but the food was worth the wait.

Ron is GREAT ! So professional, very kind ! The food and service was excellent as well ! He did a surprise party for me and everything was a 10/10. This is the guy you want for your parties !!! read more

Hired Sims BBQ to cater my daughter's first birthday party/our Super Bowl party. Could not have been a better day. I am the kind of person who tends to take on absolutely everything for any family events, and as a result, I'm never present/able to enjoy myself. I knew that I wanted do both of those things today, and I don't know why I never did this before. What the actual hell took me so long?! Sonia and Ron arrived hours before the beginning of our party. They setup in the front of our house, filled our garage with all of the food, utensils, etc. Chopped it up with all of our family and friends, enjoyed the game with us. Honestly, it felt like they were a part of the family, and we absolutely LOVED the food. Ok so first of all, the meatballs... my God. I ate my body weight in meatballs. We had smoked salmon, tri-tip, ribs, pork, prime rib, green salad, Mac salad, potato salad, baked beans, garlic bread, cobbler... IT WAS ALL AMAZING! Food was hot the entire time, oh and the Southern Punch! MMMMMMMMMM! We will hire them for future events. We adore this family, we adore their food, the service was impeccable. You can't go wrong with Sims BBQ! read more

Food came out fast and quick. Lots of flavor. Potato salad was awesome as well you can tell love was put into it.

Finally some good BBQ in the area! So tender, moist, and flavorful. Friendly folks who take the time to chat with you. Looking forward to eating here over and over again! Keep up the good work! read more

Ordered and picked up deep fried turkey and cornbread muffins for Thanksgiving dinner. As always great food and service. If eating turkey for Thanksgiving it will always from Ron at Sims BBQ. Super friendly and people. Oh don't forget about the ribs! Legit, smokey and great bbq sauce. read more

We ordered a deep fried Turkey for Thanksgiving and Ron delivered! Even went out of his way to find us a slightly smaller bird since we had a smaller group. The turkey itself was very well seasoned, juicy, and was nicely wrapped for transport. Way better than the chemical induced nonsense from Boston Market. Absolutely delicious!!! read more

Absolutely only good things to say Abt Sims BBQ. Had a smoked turkey that was utterly amazing. Told my family we can't do it any other way for the holidays. Delicious flavor and hella tender. Also, Sims BBQ catered the memorial service for my father. On a super tough, emotional day Ron made everything absolutely perfect. Food was delicious and all enjoyed. Anytime I want barbecue, this where I'm going If I can. 10/10 recommend. read more

There are not enough adjectives to describe Sim's Bar B Que. The first ones that come to mind are, professional, magnificent, and delicious. When you hire Sim's you can relax and know that you are in for a fantastic treat. To say that Ron takes his business and his food seriously is and understatement. You shouldn't take my word for it try it for yourself. We have had Sim's caterer an event and smoke our Thanksgiving turkey. Wonderful both times!! read more

We have been wanting to get a deep fried Turkey for thanksgiving for years and finally decided to do so this year. I found Sim's on Yelp and the Turkey looked so good. I contacted Ron and the ordering process was extremely quick and simple. We ordered a Turkey as well as a smoked brisket. The pickup process on thanksgiving day was very easy as well. Both the Turkey and brisket were juicy, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly cooked. We will definitely be ordering from you guys again next year! Take care. read more

Third year of buying a deep fried Thanksgiving turkey from Sim's Barbecue. Far and away the most delicious turkey I've ever had!

This year we were hosting the Thanksgiving dinner at my house for my whole family of 16 people. My kids were visiting from out of state and I wanted to spend more time with them rather than in a kitchen. Besides, I wanted something we have not tried before -deep fried turkey. I found Sim's BBQ and ordered it from them. It was a very smart choice. The ordering, payment and pickup process was easy. Ron has the operation organized very smartly. The turkey was prepared on time and it was delicious. Everybody liked it very much. The most importantly - it was a stress free experience for me. read more

Ordered a deep fried turkey from Ron for Thanksgiving! Picked it up at their location in San Jose! The turkey was delicious, fresh and so juicy even when served hours later. Highly recommend Sim's BBQ and will absolutely be ordering from them again :) read more

Delicious food! Ron and his staff were efficient and the food??? Man! We could not stop eating! The portion sizes were amazing! They catered a wedding for my family. 2 thumbs up!! read more

My family and I ordered a couple of deep fried Turkeys for Thanksgiving. It was the bomb! The meat was so tender and tasty. We never had turkey that was so flavorful. Even the next day (whatever was left) it was still tender just like it was fresh! We have also had their Seafood pasta and BBQ Brisket and Chicken on another occasion those were delicious as well. I highly recommend Sim's for your next catering event. You wont be disappointed! Definitely will order from them again. read more

Sim's BBQ did a great job! 1st Ron provided me a sample plate of his food. The taste and moisture of the meat was perfect. That is why we booked Sims for a 4th of July birthday in Hollister. Ron and his mom arrived early to the party to cook and set up. We had 60 people at our event and everyone raved about the food. We had 3 meats chicken, ribs and brisket berms, salad, bread, and delicious tea. My family loves BBQ and everyone loved Sims! They set up on time everything was always filled and taken care of. They cleaned up and leftovers covered and ready to go. Sims made the event worry free and delicious! read more

Sim's Bar-B-Que - Ron and his Sweet Mom - Caterers Near Me - Elk Grove, California

My family ordered a turkey for thanksgiving. It was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and very delicious!! Excellent, personalized customer service. We appreciated the flexible pick up times. We will definitely order again in the future!! read more

Amazing how the only 1 star review also has most other reviews as 1 star as well. Maybe an aspiring critic or unhappy person? I attended the bacon and brew festival and Sim's BBQ was fantastic! Yes, the wait was a bit long but it was because they were not expecting such a crowd as this was the first festival. They did not compromise the quality of the food at all! Best BBQ I have ever had. Station was very clean. All were beyond kind. Definitely worth the wait and I would hire in a heartbeat for any event. read more

The best BBQ ever!! The ribs just fell off the bone (Delicious) the beans and chicken were excellent and the salad was to die for Highly recommended! read more

Awesome service! Ron catered my wedding in August the food was awesome the guest loved it!! I let him have the reigns and he delivered. We had the tri tip which you could cut with a plastic fork, smoked chicken and several sides.. He did an excellent job! read more

Tasted their food for the first time at our event last night and it was delicious!!! I love everything I had, I'm not much of a potato salad person but I really enjoyed theirs. The hot link was the right amount of spicy and the sauce was awesome!! Chicken was very tender and tasty. Thank you for making the evening extra special with awesome food!! read more

Ron (the owner) catered our wedding for 120 people and did a PHENOMINAL job. First the food.... Wow, the ribs just melted in your mouth along with the bbq chicken which was so moist and delicious. Don't forget the beans, bread and tri-tip. Best bbq ever! We received tons and tons of compliments on the caterer after the wedding. Ron was very proactive and helpful in the planning for the event. He was experienced, professional, flexible and easy to work with as a caterer. He went out of his way to ensure all was taken care of and removed all worries from my "anxious bride" state of mind. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend! read more

I wanted to like this place, I really did. We waited over an hour to try it, but it just wasn't good. Let me preface with saying that we didn't eat in the resteraunt but at the Bacon and Brew Festival. I have to say in their defense they didn't know how many people were going to be there but at my Boy Scout son tells me BE PREPARED!!! Pros: -Good portion sizes -The beans were good -Hubby said the Hot link sandwich was actually hot/spicy -They had chairs for customers who had already ordered -Owner (I think he was the owner was very very nice) Cons: -The wait, which wasn't ALL their fault -There were several people in the back who were messing up orders (the guy preparing the trays and calling the numbers out who was working his butt off) or just not working at all, ie one woman (not the lady with the cane but the younger one) -I get someone needs to man the money but when you are that far behind: pitch in. You have customers money at that point, the extra hands would have been handy. At five people stop taking money and fill the orders that way if you run out of food you know before you take 20 other orders for sold out chicken -Don't have your mom/grandma cutting the meat. She clearly didn't want to be there and was giving everyone dirty looks, I also thought she was going to cut her fingers off. -Cut the spicy sausage and mild sausage differently so people don't get confused. Cutting at a small angle is not differently. Cut spicy down the middle and mild into slices is. -Hamburger buns are NOT a dinner roll, if you do run out bring a pen and paper to make a sign to indicate what you are out of - Preslice meat at festivals so you serve people fast, people are at festivals to have fun not and in line waiting for food. Not all of the meat (ribs) was bad but a lot was too tough to eat, and what could be eaten tasted more like salt then BBQ.w -Offer PREPACKAGED sauce on the side -Place napkins and condiments on a table so that customers can get them their themselves. Let me again say I did not go to their resteraunt. I ate their food at the Bacon and brew festival and I think the festival was incredibly poorly planned and executed! But I think this COULD be an indication of their food quality. read more

I took a chance and ordered a deep fried turkey and gravy for Thanksgiving. Sim's was supposed to deliver it between 3:30 and 4:30. It didn't arrive until almost 5:30. I was really stressing for a while thinking we may not have turkey at all, but it arrived steaming hot. The skin wasn't crispy anymore but it tasted great! The meat was tender and very flavorful. Several people said it was the best turkey they had ever tasted. I am taking 1 star off because it was late but otherwise, I highly recommend Sim's BBQ! read more
