I stumbled across this little restaurant going to O'Reilly's on Sunrise and Antelope. I saw a burger on the door, and happened to be very hungry. I don't tend to eat fast food, but thought this could be very different since it was not a chain. To my surprise, it is one of the best hamburgers I have eaten from fast food in a very long time. I have tried their double cheeseburger, tri-tip sandwich, and chicken sandwich. All of which were delicious, and made with quality meats. I have eaten there 3 times in the last month and that speaks volumes about the deliciousness they offer. I say everyone needs to try this burger... Nanette read more

Malik is excellent! This place is so good and it is definitely a must stop by if you have not ever been in Citrus Heights. I went about a month me and my wife Brittnee! By the way the juice and smoothies are also healthy and fresh! The service was awesome as if you were at home Malik provided more than exceptional hospitality! Must have the secret sauce on your tri tip sandwich that is a seller enjoy! read more

Incredible food and staff! Their tri tip has amazing flavor and I love the fries, onions rings and Bang Bang sauce. I had to order myself a 10 oz container to accommodate my sauce needs lol. Seriously though, such a great place in and out. read more

everything about this place was great, the service the food, best bbq place around me, wont leave here hungry, if you're close, stop by and give it a try ! read more

This tri tip sandwich was next-level amazing. The meat was perfectly cooked--tender, juicy, and packed with that rich, smoky flavor that only great tri tip has. Every bite was loaded with flavor, from the beautifully seasoned beef to the fresh bread that somehow held it all together without getting soggy. The balance of textures and flavors was spot on, and it was filling without being overwhelming. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time. I'd come back for this alone. read more

The Tri-tip sandwich and onion rings were good. The food was seasoned well with the grilled onions on the sandwich. The yum yum sauce was a hit with the onion rings, absolutely loved it. Will buy from here again! read more

We were looking for a new restaurant to try and found a photo of the tri tip sandwich at this BBQ place that looked good so we decided to drive over and check it out. It was a little hard to find if you are looking for a restaurant sign, since it is a stall inside a ghost kitchen (which we didn't know at the time). But the address on the building matched what was on Yelp, so we went in and were pleasantly surprised to find several food stalls. We were greeted right away by someone from Baba's BBQ. He explained about each different restaurant there. But we were there for tri tip sandwiches and placed our order. There are a couple of tables and chairs grouped together to sit and wait or eat. We used our wait time to look around and chat with the other food vendors. We really enjoyed our tri tip sandwiches. The fresh bakery roll used for the sandwich is smashed with butter and seasonings and toasted. The tri tip was cooked perfectly and sliced nice and thin topped with grilled onions, melted cheese and really good chimichurri and bbq sauce - it is really packed with flavor. The fries and onion rings were crispy and cooked perfectly. And the bang bang sauce with the onion rings is super good. We will definitely be coming back! read more

The service was top tier and the owner of the establishment was very professional, personable, and had great energy during the stay.

If anyone is in the mood for tri tip please try this place out. read more

Best tri tip sandwich I've had in a long time. No fatty parts of the meat to just fill the sandwich and the bread goes perfectly with the sauce & meat. The pricing for bbq is usually high and this place beats all the prices by far. Major bang for your buck and then some with the fries. Will definitely be going back.. only part that sucks is the location but it's worth the hunt! read more

Food was great. Great service. Went in with 10+ and we were in and out. Would highly recomend

The tri tip was great not too salty. The chimchurri sauce was fresh and mild bang bang sauce was smooth and creamy. The tri tip plate with 2 sides was alot, enough for two. The owner Malik went above and beyond to provide for the inconvenience of forgetting part of our order. He was very apologetic and sincere. The spot was small but clean. Could be a problem when it gets busy. Overall we enjoyed the food and service. read more

Great tri-tip sandwich, small company and owner trying to establish themselves. Service was great. It's definitely worth a try. A heads up it's in a commercial kitchen building on the corner. It can be a little confusing to find. read more

We stopped in right before closing and ordered the tri-tip sandwich and the tri-tip fries. The owner Malik helped us himself and was incredibly friendly and helpful. The place is a cool shared kitchen and set up primarily for take out, but we ate inside and chatted with Malik. The tri-tip was super tender and tasty, the fries and onion rings were crispy, and the homemade sauces made the food extra delicious! We will definitely be back! Thank you!! read more

My husband and I decided to try out some new foods today and stumbled across babas bbq. We were pleasantly surprised with the warm and gentle service we received. We were greeted by a young man who I believe is the owner who was very welcoming. He took time to tell us about his menu and even showed us and advertised his coworkers working around him in this commercial restaurant. The menu item we chose was the tri-tip sandwich. My oh my, this is one of the best tri tip sandwiches I've tried. The meat is surprisingly gentle and just melts in your mouth. The bbq is sweet and savory at the same time and does not overpower the rest of the flavors. The bread was just as gentle and had the perfect amount of crisp to it from the grill. The combo was only $14 and the rest of the menu prices were just as surprisingly low for the portion and quality. All in all recommend this place to everyone! read more

The food was fire! My boyfriend and I got the tri-tip sandwich with mashed potatoes. The bun was crispy and the meat was packed with flavor. The mashed potatoes were also incredible. The owner is incredibly nice. Definitely going to become a well known Sacramento area spot. (I forgot a photo because we were so hungry and the food was so delicious we forgot to take one) read more

Found this place on Yelp and wanted to try the tri-tip sandwich. AMAZING! So much flavor, ample tri-tip cooked to perfection. The toasted buttery bun and the melted cheese hit the spot. Not a sit down restaurant, but pick up and go worked great. Made fresh when you order and had a side of onion rings that were also delicious. Telling some friends to hit this spot up when they are hungry and craving a savory filling lunch or dinner read more

So good! If you are reading this, head over now and try it. I had tried-tip Sandi with bang bang sauce. Amazing! Onion rings are great too!

For a shared kitchen kind of place, the service and food were outstanding. Although they were out of lemonade and it was closing time, they took time to make me fresh lemonade. They went far and beyond with their effort and great tasting food. The BBQ sandwich and loaded chicken fries are the bomb. read more
