I gave 2 extra stars because the service was great, really the service was 5 stars but the taste of the sandwich wasn't what I was expecting. They greeted us as we came in and were very kind throughout our ordering and dining experience. It's very clean inside. The food however I am rating 1 star, it was very bland. The house sauce was almost non existent (usually it's lathered and borderline messy which I love). The veggies were warm and wilted, which I havnt experienced before and I always get the he hot sandwiches. The only way we could finish eating our sandwich was to take all the produce off. And this was AFTER being charged .25 extra for toppings like peperchini and .25 pickles (since when are pepporcini an upcharge? I can understand an upcharge for things like avocado or bacon, but not produce. The 8'' sandwich was 13.99 plus the extra fees for produce. Total for two sandwiches was $31 and change, before tip. They gave us a complimentary soda with the purchase of an 8''.

We tried the brisket, tri-tip, and burnt ends, and every meat was flavorful, tender, and cooked really well. The sides were just as good--we had the mac and cheese, elote, and cornbread, and they all complemented the barbecue perfectly. The restaurant was clean and had a welcoming atmosphere. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service was a little slow, especially considering there wasn't much of a line. It wasn't a bad experience, just a bit longer of a wait than expected. That said, the food definitely made up for it. If I'm back in Marysville, I'd absolutely stop here again. If you're looking for quality barbecue with generous portions and excellent smoked meats, Hard Times BBQ is well worth a visit.

I was about to make it to work a little too early today... but then I spotted Buckethead BBQ at the…read moreback of the Ace Hardware parking lot. Perfect location because I had time to see them, and decide if I was going to make a stop. I pulled up to the massive set up. The big truck with 2 smokers in back... it was a bbq lovers dream to have a set up like this.. not too mention this is the only one of its kind built like this. I parked close and skipped past the menu and went straight to the man in charge today. This is where I met Ash. I'm not sure how long he was here, but he was busy. In fact, I hope I wasn't crowding him by watching him slice the brisket, making sandwiches, cutting ribs... it was satisfying to watch. After he finished that order, I mentioned that I remembered seeing Buckethead BBQ in local competitions. They have a location in Roseville that they do the cooking out of and you can call ahead, order online, and even show up. It's first come first serve, so get there early! I went with a brisket sandwich (bc I saw it had a good amount of meat on it when I watched him make one) and 3 ribs with a side of their corn salad. He was fast and added a ramekin of their bbq sauce in the box. I jammed home to enjoy a few bites before heading to work. The ribs... are by far some of the best I've ever had! In fact, I'm so disappointed in myself that I only got 3! If you know me, I am a rib connoisseur... and let's just say you are missing out if you don't make a stop at Buckethead BBQ. Fantastic fkn bark. Good smoke ring. Tender as hell, with just the right pull from the bone and perfect seasoning! I like that they put a good amount of meat on the brisket sandwich. Ash topped it with delicious coleslaw and a good drizzle of bbq sauce. I first pulled a slice of brisket out of the sandwich and played with my meat. Yes, I played with my meat. I did the test. It was flexible and pulled apart so easily. Super tender and had a good amount of fat on it... not too much. That's when I started dunking into one of the best BBQ sauces I have ever tried. It was sweet and savory. You can really taste the fruitiness in it, which is my favorite kind of sauce. Smokey... savory... and sweet. I had to force myself to stop eating the sandwich... knowing I was full, but my stomach hadn't registered it yet... plus, the thought of enjoying the rest of my sandwich tomorrow kept me going. Needless to say, I was late to work bc I was indulging in ribs and my brisket sandwich. I'm looking forward to finishing it tomorrow if my daughter doesn't get to it first!

I'm not sure how I missed BHBBQ before today, but I fully intend to become a regular. Finding…read moregreat barbecue this close to home is exciting, and I just have to keep an eye on my weight! Barbecued meats are somewhat difficult to review because there are many different regional styles and ways the meats can be presented. Many folks love their ribs to be "fall-off-the-bone", but as a KCBS certified barbecue judge, I can tell you that style is not considered competition-worthy. Some like their brisket tender but lean; others find the fatty pieces to be the most flavorful. What I can tell you for sure is that if I had come across the ribs, brisket, and chicken that I had the pleasure of eating today at an official KCBS competition, I would have given top scores to all three. Excellent barbecue, all with the perfect amount of smoky goodness and tenderness. I had the pleasure of meeting pitmaster/owner Dave and his partner Ash. Really nice gentlemen who are deservedly proud of the top-notch barbecue they are serving. They are happy to answer any questions you might have, and they definitely do know their barbecue. Service with a smile makes for a fun experience. One of my favorite kinds of discoveries in restaurants is finding a place that, from the outside, doesn't necessarily promise much. Then you decide to give it a try, and WOW, it turns out to be great. And that's what you will find with BHBBQ. It's a simple stand with an awning, sitting at the very back of a large Raley's parking lot (and easy to miss if you don't know where to look), and from the outside it just doesn't look like it will be special. But BHBBQ is very special, and that is a lot of what makes this barbecue such a treat. One cautionary note: I just happened to find BHBBQ on Instagram yesterday and saw that they were going to be nearby today. They do travel, and so before you go hunting for it, be sure you know where they'll be. They announce their schedules on Instagram, Facebook, and on their website. They also have a phone number. But this one is definitely worth the search if you're into really excellent barbecue. We had the ribs, brisket, chicken, hot links, beans, and mac & cheese. Everything was top-notch. Tastes can differ, but I can definitely recommend this terrific barbecue experience.

The actual shop has a nice little vibe going on. Today was finally the day I couldn't resist and turned in for some food. There were quite a few people going inside to order, and it looked nice enough inside the restaurant, but I decided to use the drive-thru since they had one. The menu is pretty big, but I was there for the chicken, so I ordered the breast, wing, and thigh plate with rice and refried beans. It took about 5 to 7 minutes, which was pretty quick, and the food came out piping hot. The pieces of chicken were huge and tasted like good quality. The rice and beans were good, not the best I've ever had, but solid sides. The chicken was insanely tender and juicy. Maybe a little heavy on the salt, but still really good, and it fell right off the bone. This is what I remember El Pollo Loco tasting like 10+ years ago when they were actually good, except this is better and the pieces are much larger than your typical chicken shop. At first, I thought $17 was a little steep for chicken, but after seeing the portion and tasting the quality and flavor, I'd say it's pretty fair. Definitely would do again.

In fact, when I pulled in, I opened the vents of my car to allow that smokey bbq smell to fill in. Rub 'n Butts offers the finest cuts of meat and the most delicious BBQ in Placer County (I think the finest compared to anywhere around!) They are becoming more and more popular that they are now open on Saturdays! They offer dine in, catering, pick up meals, or have BBQ delivered right to your doorstep (doordash.) Thusday - Saturday 11:00 am - 5:00 pm They offer smoked tri tip, brisket, beer brat sausages, chicken (halves, too), and smoked spare ribs. They can make you sandwiches with their meats and have pulled pork, too!!! There are sides such as corn bread, their famous baked beans, creamy jalapeno corn, potato salad, and macaroni salad. As I hopped out of my car, John, the owner, was pulling meats off the smoker. He saw me walking in and with a big smile, greeted me! From previous visits, I know that he is passionate about his food. He is so good at it, I have to give him a big THANK YOU so much for sharing his passion with the world! My taste buds, eyes, and stomach deeply thank you! When I walked in, I only waited a few minutes for John to meet me at the register. **For every purchase, you get entered into a weekly drawing for a free platter with 2 meats! He had my ribs ready and packed in an aluminum catering container. It kept them hot for my drive home. I got to say hello to Frank, who was also working hard. Before driving, I took a video of those hot beautiful ribs with the gorgeous char marks, with the bright cherry red color and hot juices running out from beneath them... Oooooh can you imagine how bad I wanted to take a bite right there! The first bite was heaven! The meat is so juicy and tender and I love that it doesn't just fall off the bone... it had some pull to it. It had just the right amount of bark and smoke flavor. It had a clean bite and all the meat still came clean off the bone... it was a dream. It's the exact kind of rib that you compare all ribs to.

All sooo darn delicious!! I heard about this place before but never was able to get there on Thursday or Friday. If you see the poster sandwich board sign on the Grass Valley Highway Road sidewalk; they're open for business. I saw it and made a U turn to see if they were indeed open. Yes they were! They're in the process in updating the painted and print signs with the Saturday hours. Thursday-Saturday 11:30am - 5:30pm. Anyways, upon walking in, we were greeted by John, the owner. Unfortunately being it was less than two hours before closing, he ran out of tri tip and baby back ribs. Totally understandable, you snooze you lose. It's slow smoked genuine BBQ not fast food, when they run out, they run out. So we settled on the chicken special of smoked chicken quarter with chili and corn bread muffin $12.95. The chili and muffin were house made as well. The chili was gorgeous looking and tasted just as good as it looked. It had pieces of smoked meat. The chicken was moist and tender, smoked giving it a smoky and slight crackly skin. Mmm. It was served with a container of BBQ sauce on the side. I could drink that sauce, it was that delicious. Plus great price point on the plate. Hubs got a brisket sandwich $17.95. The bread was top notch. The brisket was ohhh so perfectly, classical tender. No knife needed. Smoked sweet and meaty flavors. Beautiful grain. John gave us samples of chicken garlic sausage and blackberry cobbler. Both house-made by him. Impressive that most everything g is house made. I'm not a fan of sausages but this may convert me. It wasn't overpowering and flavors are subtly prominent. Great texture too, not thick dense nor milly soft. Being honest. I'm not a fan of blackberry desserts due to those pesky seeds. But the cobbler didn't baked the blackberry all the way down, instead it kept it more whole than syrupy so considerably less seed release but still with the sweet blackberry flavor. The top crust was a moist cake. It all held well and absolutely yummers. The place has a few counter top tables to dine in. But Hubs and I ordered ours to go. Interior is super clean and comfortable.

NOTE: this restaurant makes their own salad dressing & they cook their meats are slow cooked for 12 - 14 hours. This restaurant is good for family, date night, casual eating, & gatherings of 10.

I was extremely disappointed with our experience with Back Forty BBQ. They arrived late, and when…read morethey did arrive, they disregarded my requests as the hostess. We had purchased food for 200 guests but only had 130 in attendance. I politely asked them not to uncover all the food so we could avoid unnecessary waste. I repeated my request kindly, yet when I turned my back, they uncovered everything anyway. I was also disappointed that the existing service fee was not clearly communicated before the staff pointed out the need to add a tip. For a service that involved essentially delivering the food, placing it on the buffet tables, and leaving, the lack of service and communication was incredibly frustrating, especially considering the more than $2,000 in tips they received. Between the late arrival, disregard for reasonable requests, lack of transparency regarding fees, and disappointment with the food itself, this experience fell far short of expectations. I would not recommend them based on our experience.
