But with the chicken not being up to standards as well as subpar Mac 'N Cheese, I would have to give this just an average three star rating.SAUCED HAS AXE THROWING?! WHAT LOCATIONS? But the vibe, atmosphere, service, and prices at "Sauced BBQ" are very decent as I enjoyed my visit here. Like I said, I am really picky about BBQ food and if I could give you my two cents of the best of the best in Sacramento, I would recommend "Tank House" as my top pick. However, the cornbread was delicious as this was arguably the best part of this meal. As far as the sides, the Mac 'N Cheese was just average at best as it was a little too sweet and salty for my taste while the macaroni didn't taste fully cooked. Many parts of the chicken were tasty but certain areas were cooked a little on the dry side. Overall, the chicken was good but a lot of the exterior was burnt (as you can see from the photo I captured). Our food & sides arrived just a few minutes later. The whiskey had a nice sweet taste while the beer was iced cold. ![]() Service was good as our waitress was quick, attentive, and friendly as my shot of whiskey & beer combo arrived in less than 5 minutes. Since we came during the afternoon of Sunday, I tried their "Dickel Hawgin" special which was a shot of George Dickel Tennessee whiskey complete with a 16 oz. Since I am big whiskey/bourbon drinker, I loved their selection. As far as their drinks, they offer what is called "Sauced-Tails Hillbilly Swill" daily specials where there are offerings including a beer & shot, high cotton shot, and whiskey of the day. We chose the "Sweet Honey Cornbread" and "Mac 'N Cheese" as our two sides. Now onto the food itself, my +1 and I ended up splitting an order of their "Smoked Chicken" which has a light brushing of apricot glaze. When we got seated, we were given iced waters and actual menus (which I actuallyprefer more than scanning it and looking at it on your phone). ![]() Lots of TV's for your viewing pleasure, a full open bar, lots of tables with high chairs, booths, and even an enclosed area where they offer axe throwing (to let out some of that aggression). Once entering, the interior is spacious, lively, and as barbecue-inspired as you would expect. So to have it converted into a large spacious restaurant was a warm welcome. Those of you that may remember back in the day but this is the location where "Hard Rock Cafe" once stood for many years. As far as the Sacramento location, its very tough to find parking out here, especially during concerts, events, and Sacramento Kings basketball games my recommendation is to utilize the underground parking garage, get your ticket voucher validated (which is good from 2-3 hours), and proceed to the restaurant. They expanded to several other locations in the Golden State including San Jose, Walnut Creek, and one location in Orange County. One thing I didn't know about Sauced and they are exclusively a California-born company having started in Livermore in 2012. Located directly on the corner of 7th & K St's in the heart of DOCO (Downtown Commons) in downtown Sacramento, this place has been serving patrons ever since late-2016. ![]() Since I was in the area for the day, I decided to give "Sauced BBQ & Spirits" a try. ![]() And since California (and Sacramento for that matter) isn't really known for their barbecue, I was hoping for something good but not great. Considering my love for BBQ food (having gone to many states in the South over the past couple years), the bar is set real high.
