SMOKE & MEAT BBQ REVIEWS

Never been a huge smoked meat guy until I came here… Jeremy the owner was kind, unassuming, genial & super nice, as were his staff, including Angela, who cooked up Collard Greens that were out of this world! Actually, everything we ate, brisket, turkey, ribs, Mac n Cheese & beans were all out of this world! Their home made sauces were to die for…. Perfect amount of food with a more than reasonable cost. We live in Citrus Heights, and will definitely be back with friends & family to have them experience a 1st class barbecue restaurant.

Had the best brisket I've ever had here. The owner is super chill and passionate about the craft too. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area to try out some other items and more of that brisket.

I picked up some brisket to go. Some of the best BBQ around. Brisket, ribs and sausage. No tri-tip though. Good sides and banana pudding.

NEIL'S KICK N-IT B.B.Q REVIEWS

Very friendly and great food, we came in 20 minutes before close and they only had a rack of ribs to take home. Very happy as a first experience and pleased that this gem is right down the street. I just moved here from Texas and the ribs were on par if not better than almost anything you would find out there. You can tell the meat and bbq is good due to the minimal use of sauce.

Best service great people Neil's is a staple best bbq ive had a must try . Thank you Neil for the great food and conversation you are a true master of your craft much apprecoated.

Love this place best in town owner was very friendly and respectful..I would always crave the ribs during my entire pregnancy and would go every week .

SEOUL SOON DUBU REVIEWS

We love Seoul Soondubu! This was our second time here and this time we brought our parents, they were very impressed with everything from start to finish! We had amazing food, all of it was amazing, and no i'm not kidding! Every single piece of food that was on the table was so flavorful, it was very hard to say that one food was preffered over the over because it is all that good! Even the little sides that go with the meals are oh so tasty, all the different kimchi, to the glass noodles, it's all really good! OK one of my favorites is definitely the Seafood Pancake, you cannot go wrong getting it, it is SO incredibly scrumptious! Beef Bulgogi is as tender as you can get and the Sweet Crispy Chicken is so tasty! It was all just fantastic, please give them a visit as soon as you can! You will get your money's worth and a whole lot of love from their amazing staff that makes you feel like family from the start! Also for the adults check out the Soju w/yogurt mmmm yummy.

The food here is delicious! The staff/owners are so kind and really take care of you. The food was fresh, flavorful, and they were on top of it bringing out the dishes. The meat is delicious, my husband is a bbq guy and he loved the food also! Definitely worth the visit. Greets for families, and great for a couples date night. We will be sure to visit the speakeasy on a Friday night next.

One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! The owners are incredibly gracious and kind, and the quality of the meat and flavor are outstanding—truly prime cut.
