We don’t know about you but for us, the smell of barbecue is deeply entangled with summertime. There’s something about the click-clack of tongs and feeling of sticky, sauce-covered fingers that just brings a smile to our hearts.
If you’re not much of a grillmaster yourself, check out these four places around Sacramento where you can pick up some barbecue.
Sauced BBQ & Spirits, Downtown Sacramento
Want barbecue for dinner? Sauced has a 12-hour smoked short rib covered in a chipotle blackberry glaze that’s only available after 5 p.m. every day — and entirely worth the wait.
Tank House BBQ & Bar, Midtown
Bring out the whole squad and order a barbecue platter — like the Midtown Chowdown, which includes a full rack of ribs, 1 pound of brisket, 1 pound of pulled pork, half of a chicken, two hot links, and onion rings.
Buckhorn Grill, Locations vary
With five locations across the Sacramento area (and three more in the Bay), you’re never too far from Buckhorn’s delicious offerings — whether that’s a barbecue sandwich, salad, burger, or platter.
Roxie Deli and Barbecue, East Sacramento
Roxie rotates its offerings daily, so be sure to check the menu before heading out. Right now, the schedule features tri-tip on Mondays, pulled pork on Tuesdays, ribs on Wednesdays, and brisket on Thursdays + Fridays. Smoked chicken and meatloaf is available daily.
