Amazing hidden gem in a small town! The service was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is fun and backyard type. They offer many BBQ options. The wings were smoked and flavorful. The sauces only enhanced the flavor instead of trying to mask the smoke flavor. The hot link had a mild kick. The pulled pork wasn't dry and was so soft and easy to eat. The lean brisket was perfectly cooked. It was so tender, fall off your fork tender. The Mac n cheese was delish with a crumble on top. The cheesy potatoes were so good and cheesy! The cornbread were bite sized with a honey drizzle. All in all amazing food with great people cooking.

This place is definitely worth the adventure, nestled in the middle of the desert city of Imperial Ca, this little BBQ place offers a genuine small town backyard BBQ feel. An actual offset smoker fires up early in the morning to provide your afternoon and evening delights. The food was reasonably priced, the smoke appropriately used. At SaltCedar you can find all your bbq favorites like brisket, pulled pork, and ribs done to perfection. Not to mention the Outdoor setting with bonfires and corn holes tables set up to get you through those chilly desert nights. With great service, great food and great family friendly ambiance this is definitely a place to check out while in our little town.

Food and service were awesome. Ambience is cool on a fresh night. Food was on point when it comes to Texas style.
First time this past weekend, during the blues and 'que, outside bar and great hostess, pulled pork plate was on point

Such a great little place with a simple menu. We tried their pork ribs and beef brisket (fatty). They both had a great balance of smoke and their rub. I tried it with and without their bbq sauce. It had a great flavor but the meat could be eaten without it too.We also ordered their beans and coleslaw, for sides. At first glance, I didn't think much of the coleslaw. Once I tasted it, the flavor was amazing and simple. It's not your typical coleslaw but very flavorful. The beans were also amazing! They add brisket in the beans which gave it just the right touch. The meat is served with complementary sides of pickles, onions and bread. All we're eaten, as they went well with everything. The staff was very friendly. They greeted us, upon entering, and provided excellent friendly service. Ordering was simple and fast. The restaurant is outdoors, in a backyard style setting. This gave it a great 'backyard bbq' style ambiance. In our opinion, this is now the top BBQ restaurant for our valley. Make sure to call, before heading over there, to make sure they're open as their schedule changes from time to time. Highly recommended!
