Customer Reviews
This is the best BBQ spot I have ever had! WOW In my 40 yrs I’m impressed. We will definitely be back when we come to town from Sacramento. We had to buy a bottle of that bbq sauce to bring home it was so delicious. The staff was super friendly. Highly recommend just go
We had Crossroads BBQ cater my wife’s birthday party this past weekend, and the food was an absolute hit. We ordered pulled pork, chicken, and brisket, along with their fancy salad, mac and cheese, and BBQ bean. Every single dish was phenomenal. The meats were incredibly flavorful and perfectly cooked (the brisket in particular disappeared fast), and the sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese and BBQ beans had people going back for seconds and thirds. Multiple guests came up to us during the party asking where the food was from because they loved it so much. If you’re looking for high-quality BBQ that will impress a crowd, Crossroads BBQ absolutely delivers. We couldn’t have asked for better food for a special celebration and would 100% use them again.
Came for a day trip hike and found this place. The smell of the smoker was amazing. We got the 3 meat trio, brisket was 9.3/10, tri-tip was 8.0/10, and pork ribs were 7.8/10. We got mac and cheese as the side 9/10, and baked beans 5.5/10. Mac and cheese had an alfredo taste must try. Amount of food was worth the price based on the area. $35 for the 3 meat trio. I'll be back to something different.
The service was friendly. The food was good! The Brisket was tender. The Mac and cheese had a little too much garlic. The grilled cornbread was a tasty twist on standard cornbread. I’d go back if I was looking for BBQ in the area.
To me this is really good BBQ, especially the brisket! Now mind you, I've eaten a lot of BBQ in the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, and Texas...and generally, with the exception of a very few places...California and most of the country doesn't do BBQ very well. So, all that said, this place loses 1 star because not everything is great. Their burnt ends are usually over sauced and ridiculously sweet. The chicken is never consistent... sometimes is amazing other times dry. The pulled pork is often underseasoned and bland...still decent... just not as good as it can be. Anyway, I'm never unhappy with the food, but I only stick to specific things, now that Ive tried most of the menu, and leave the rest. Brisket, Mac and Cheese, Ribs, Baked Potato, Hot Links, 👍👍👍, Tri-tip, Breakfas
