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 building from the outside doesn’t look like much. It looks like an industrial building. The tell tale sign is the large BBQ smoker in front of the building. I wasn’t expecting much when I walked in. But the inside was pleasant. Super clean, modern. Comfortable. It had some seating but not a lot. There were a few picnic tables outside as well.
The food was some of the best bbq I’ve had.
A little off the beaten path in North Auburn but well worth it!
There is seating inside and outside.
Apparently only open THURSDAY and FRIDAY.
Saw a dancing pig out with sign by main road. Got pulled pork sandwich and secret side item, Pulled pork Mac and cheese. Food is delicious. BBQ sticky. Wish I took a picture but ate it before I thought of it.
Come try. Leave a name for raffle. I’m gonna try ribs next time
Owner, super nice
