The new management has clearly made a great improvement! Went in on a whim and we were super happy with everything. The restaurant was clean and the staff were friendly. The food was sooo good!! We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, the mac and cheese, and the hogwild fries. Everything was amazing but my favorite were definitely the hogwild fries! Definitely going back 🙂

Really good, glad there’s bbq in the area.
The baked beans are good and have bits of bbq and bacon in it. Cornbread isn’t cakey. Everyone liked the mac n cheese.
I can recommend getting a tri-tip sandwich and baked beans.

I got the tri tip and tots. Their food is absolutely delicious and I recommend. I look forward to going back and trying the pull pork and the ribs. That barbecue sauce is to die for.

Updating my review to 5 stars with the new owners. I’m leaving my original review below for transparency.
The food with the new owners is delicious. I had the pastrami, pulled pork, and mac and cheese. All were fantastic. It’s the best BBQ I’ve had since leaving the South. You can really taste the smoke without it being overwhelming. Prices were very fair for the portion sizes, and food was out quickly. I am so excited to finally have good BBQ around!
Original review for old owners: Honestly, I came just to see what the reviews (good and bad) were all about. I had the pulled pork, which was pretty tasty and a good serving. I would order it again. I also got the beans which were… interesting. I was expecting a typical baked bean, but they were thicker, almost like refried beans with some pork mixed it. They weren’t bad, just not what I was expecting. Cornbread was a little too sweet for me, but the texture was great. My main complaints were that the BBQ sauce was a generic packaged sauce. I was really hoping for a homemade sauce (or at least a doctored jar sauce). The sauce was just okay. The meal I had also came with a prepackaged cookie which was unexpected and a little odd. All in all, I would go back. The wait can be a little long, so just be prepared.

I was very excited to see a new BBQ place in Davis. Good BBQ has been something that I have missed greatly since moving up here a year ago. I called in my order and it was ready at the time they told me, so there was no wait in pickup. The food was good. I had the brisket which has good flavor, the mac and cheese was decent though when I go back I want to try some of the other sides, and the cornbread was nice and moist. I recommend to check that you receive barbeque sauce before you leave if taking your meal to go, even though I was told it should have been with the order, I wouldn’t have had any if I didn’t ask for it.
After I had left, I realized I never got my cup for the drink but didn’t want to turn around and go back since I was almost home by that point. Overall not a huge deal, just a bit of a bummer.

Me & my wife got the meal 2-3 which came with brisket ribs Mac & cheese and beans with brisket chunks in them. I will do what many reviews do and give a bit of each item we ordered.
Brisket: little salty but overall good most of the bbq places we’ve eaten come with tons of sauce this one was on lighter side but overall 4/5. And give you tons of sauce on the side.
Ribs: Soft fell off the bone again light sauce good seasoning.. perfection.
Mac & Cheese: I think our least favorite.. bland cold just taste like a fast food type Mac & Cheese not horrible but not great.
Beans & Brisket 5/5 considering my wife hates beans but ate almost all of it.
Overall 4/5.. the younger kids we liked how kind how friendly they were good customer service the owner seemed a bit much stressed out irritated.. to be expected but felt bad for the younger staff who aren’t used to it. We appreciate all the hard work and we will be back to give it a try.

We ordered the meal for two and felt it was a good value and a lot of food–2 meats, cornbread, 2 sides, 2 drinks, and 2 slices of pie! Everything was tasty. We especially enjoyed the cornbread, mac n cheese and fried pickle spears. I wasn’t overly impressed by the meat–it was well cooked and moist, but I was hoping for a more smoky, flavorful meat that we could add out own sauce to, rather than it coming pre-sauced. Maybe just my preference! The service was a little slow, but everyone was very friendly and helpful. We really hope to see this restaurant succeed! I think if the meat gets dialed in, it will be a hit. We will for sure be back to try some other things.

I just moved to Davis, and was excited to see there was a BBQ joint. I’m still waiting for my furniture, etc. to arrive, so have been eating a lot of food I can microwave and cold sandwiches. As a treat for 4th of July, my friend and I decided to try this place out.
The pros: The staff was all very friendly. The food was decent. Not the best BBQ I’ve ever had, but pretty good. The roadhouse onions were really good–just what I was hoping for. The ribs were also pretty good. I would have liked to have had a choice on what sauce I got, but wasn’t asked. I assume the sauce in my container was the house sauce. My friend got the fried chicken sandwich, and she said it was good, but not worth $15 (even with increased meat prices)–for that price it should have at least come with a side.
The cons: This restaurant suffers a lot on the service end of things. I want this to be constructive, because I really do want them to do well, but I’m afraid that if they don’t figure some things out they won’t stay in business. In a nutshell, the problems come from a lack of well-thought out systems (such as a Subway-style assembly line), lack of training, and trying to do too much before things are running like a well-oiled machine. To start, the menu available for online ordering (which had been updated today since we looked at it last night) did not match the paper menu we were handed when we got to the counter (there isn’t a menu board posted where everyone can easily see it). We were told they had just changed the menu. The customer picking up a takeout order in front of us was initially told an incorrect price, then when she protested, was charged what she had expected. The girl at the register’s excuse was that “sorry, other people take orders differently from me”–this speaks to the lack of defined systems and training. She also initially rang us up incorrectly. They were open for dine-in, but didn’t have napkins, silverware, etc. available anywhere. When we asked, they had to go look for it in a stockroom, so they must not be offering these items to people getting take-out orders. While waiting for our food, we watched them working in the food-prep/kitchen area. It was a bit chaotic–they were all trying hard, but no one seemed to know what their job was, and they were jumping from task to task. One woman (the manager?) was having to tell the others what ingredients went on different items, and what to do next. The girl working the register was also periodically jumping onto the food assembly line. Lastly, there were only two meat choices available (other than the fried chicken sandwich): brisket or ribs. And yet, the menu appears to be quite fluid, with specials, changing sandwiches, lots of side options (including two different types of onion rings?) etc. I’d suggest that you pick a few things, and do them really well. Offer more than two meat choices but have them stay constant (maybe look into different meat suppliers if you’re having a hard time getting what you need), a handful of good sides, and 2 or 3 dessert choices. Cut out all the specials and menu changes until everyone knows their job and how to do it well. Consider sitting down and writing out some standard operating procedures if you don’t already have them. Maybe you could ask some friends or family (especially ones with food service experience themselves) to come in when the restaurant is closed, and observe how you’re working and give you feedback.
Good luck, we want you to succeed.

Finally, fantastic BBQ in Davis, CA! The new owners have a proud pedigree of competition level BBQ mastery. Everything is made in-house, fresh ingredients, and prepared to perfection. Real BBQ can not be rushed or faked and the owners at Davis BBQ are bringing their expertise and A+ Game. Highly, HIGHLY recommended.
And a welcome change from the previous ownership. This is a very different restaurant. Please give ’em a try.

Food is delicious. First time eating here and met the new owners. The smoked ribs are the bomb. The sauces they have are amazing. The smoked chicken is a must try along with the mac and cheese with cornbread. Environment is clean, staff is very nice. Overall I would come here again.
