Smokehouses near Rocklin, CA

“We are from out of town and many times we will go for some BBQ because we are from Kansas City, so checking out what passes for BBQ in other states is always fun. I like to look for burnt ends but I already knew that typically you don't see them in California, but they had porkbelly burnt end appetizer so we had those and they were great. I went with a pick 2 plate with babybacks and jalapeno cheddar sausage with potatoe salad and beans for sides. To me the sauce and beans typically tell me if they are serious about BBQ and both were great. The beans were a little undercooked but they had so much flavor Im not going to complain about the beans and the sauce especially the spicy was perfect. Ribs were ok, but the sausage was fantastic and my buddy got a sampler that had the texas red hot sausage and that stuff is no joke. The rolls and butter were awesome and the huge galsses for beveages was perfect. The only issue that we had was the dessert. Of course we didnt go with either option that the server suggested but we went with bannana pudding and a brownie. The brownie was very dry and the pudding just tasted wrong possibly a little old I really have no idea, but we took them togo because we were absolutely stuffed, so we just tossed them in the trash. The only other thing that I didn't prefer was that someone in the back really liked green onions, so the porkbelly and my potatoe salad were absolutely covered in them and I.m not a big fan especially on the porkbelly it didnt make any sense let those chunks of BBQ speak for themselves they dont need random green all over. Anyway it was a great experience and loved the BBQ. Would have loved to see KC called out somewhere with it ranking as some of the best BBQ in the world.“
