Best BBQ In Sacramento

Sacramento is blessed to have some of the best barbecue (BBQ, Bar-B-Q, Barbeque) in the west. Some swear the only way to cook it over over an open flame, or hot coals, or by a combination of heat and smoke. Still some argue that the preparation of the ingredients is the key; wet rub versus dry rub – spicy or not too much. But it all comes down to the taste. Here are some restaurants that do BBQ right.
