PT.1 THE LINE IS OUT THE DOOR!! Easy to find. Just look for the line. It moves in spurts. The smell is delightful. Will update once I get my order. PT. 2 We took the order to-go. This way I could concentrate on what I was eating. So let's start by saying everything I tasted was absolutely delicious! The brisket was very tender, melting in your mouth, easy to maneuver meat. I got the mild sausage, that was just right for me, of course my WIFE got the spicier one and she said it was real good. They had a per half pound option, they had sides, and per plate options The people in the restaurant seem super happy and pleased with all their food. I heard that one complaint, and there isn't one for me. I'm glad I don't have to go to Arkansas or Texas... Which was the last places I had good barbecue. The absolute most friendly family. They were all working very hard, and it looks like they've created something good for themselves. Marcus, was a super solid person. Came out to meet guests check the temperature of the restaurant to make sure everyone was happy. And was even making sure all of the warmers were full of food. I'll be back to visit them again. Folsom, you have a great barbecue spot in your area.
Checked out for first time as early fathers day lunch Saturday at 11. Was shocked by the line wrapping around the building before they opened! Once the door opened staff kept coming out and were very focused on keeping an opening in the line for the Taqueria next door. When we got inside there is a small eating area and I was surprised to see some were still available. Probably took about 20 min for us to get to the counter. All the staff were friendly. Ordered 2x 3 person trays (sub out turkey): brisket, ribs, bourbon pork belly, spicy sausage, cheesy grits, slaw, Mac & cheese, brunswick stew, collard greens, cornbread with blueberry, pecan pie bars, and chess cake. Brisket and ribs were spectacular: juicy, tender, perfectly smoked, and great flavor! Best sides to me were the cheesy grits, mac & cheese, collard greens, and blueberry cornbread. Wife really liked the chess cake.
Long wait for great quality bbq. Small dine in area but you will get a seat. Owner is super down to earth always checking on his customers. Good thing they aren't open more or I'd be here more My fav is the brisket, turkey and ribs. Love their Mac and cheese, coleslaw and beans. The cookies are consistently good and the pecan pie bar is perfection. Can't wait to come back
Came to area for a blood draw at Quest. Saw the line at Belly and, since I'd been fasting since yesterday, I decided to get in line to try BBQ. The temp was about 96 degrees. After 47 minutes in line, I finally entered the restaurant. There was no water for people waiting in the heat for so long. Some were obviously handicapped and it would have shown some thoughtfulness for their visitors had they had water outside OR made it clear that there was water available just to nauseate door. Thankfully, I brought my own water. After I got to the counter to order, I ordered the Tray for 2-3: brisket, ribs, turkey. Swapped turkey for add'l ribs. 2 sides and I added a third: Mac n cheese, slaw, baked beans. Sacramento, IMHO, is a BBQ desert. Having lived in the Midwest (St Louis) for forty years, I KNOW good BBQ. The best I've found in the area is in Placerville. I brisket! When I find it, it usually had all of the fat cut off. That is where the flavor lies. The next place that has a decent BBQ in the area is Bear West. However, they can be inconsistent with the tenderness of their ribs. They also don't serve brisket. I go to BBQ joints for the MEAT. If the sides are good, that's wonderful. At Belly BBQ, the brisket was definitely to my liking: smoky, with a nice well cooked fat cap and tender. The sauce enhanced the flavor of the meat. I would order it again. The ribs were also tasty, though a bit chewy on parts of the ribs. The Pitmaster obviously is passionate about desire to create good BBQ. I welcome his talents to Sacramento and hope that he'll grow his restaurant. Unfortunately, I was not so pleased with the sides. It's about personal tastes and while I ate them all, I would not order any of them again. I had the slaw (too dry) Mac n cheese (mushy and not very cheesy) and baked beans (would have like a bit more flavor/seasoning).They offered pickled onions and cucumbers. That was a nice and delicious touch. Dessert also was a part of this choice and I got the lemon pound cake. They also offered Cheesy Grits, collard greens and Brunswick Stew. I would try them next time though I don't think it will be soon. I don't like the wait time for entry. The dining area is quite small and was full. The "service area" where one gets utensils, plates, extra sauce is not big at all and difficult to access while holding your bag to go. I would order meat only and take it home to my own sides. A kind man seated at a table next to this station saw me struggling and offered to hold my bag and then invited me to sit at their table, which I did. I encourage those who love BBQ to try to visit during one of the 11 hours this operation is open during the week. As for me, I'll wait to return when they have kinder hours of operation or it is cooler. I spoke with the owner briefly. He said they will put water out next weekend. Read his story. It is an interesting one.
There really isn't much to say. That place does BBQ RIGHT PERIOD. Pork Ribs 10/10. Brisket. 10/10 Flavor 10/10. Flavor. 10/10 Texture 10/10. Texture 10/10 Sauce 10/10. Seasoning 10/10 Mac & Cheese 11/10 Coleslaw 10/10 That damn BLUEBERRY CORNBREAD 15/10 Service WONDERFUL I truly didn't believe the hype. Well worh the wait. At a glance seemed crazy but the line truly flows. I love the little stop light information system they have on the wall. Anything in red light is sold out. Yellow light getting low and green light good to go. I absolutely positively will be returning to this place. Me and my kids enjoyed the food.
When we read reviews, the bottom line is we wanna know if this is a place that we should try. Belly barbecue should be on your radar, and yes, the bottom line is you want this!! Here's why- This is a family owned business nestled in the heart of Folsom. Definitely not a place that you would necessarily expect to find a BBQ joint, but absolutely a reason for you to travel here, drive here, wherever you are, you should definitely fill your belly here. The brisket, the beef and pork ribs, the turkey, and the links are all smoked on site and big barrel smokers. Everything is made in house. The greens, the mac & cheese, the cornbread, the beans, and the dessert desserts! What should you order? Anything and everything, but you absolutely will want the brisket. That is how you know that the food is THAT good. They offer the fatty cut and the lean cut. I would definitely go for both, but I personally like the fatty cut. It's perfectly smoked. The meat is flavorful, tender, lightly seasoned, and truly a perfect smoke. The pork ribs are tender, slightly peppered, and really tasty. The sausage comes a couple different ways, and I went for the mild. It's served sliced, and you know it's going to be good because when you bite into it, you still get that snap from the skin. What sides should you get? The beans, greens and blueberry cornbread. If you're dining with someone, you can order the 2-3 platter and make some adjustments. If you're dining alone, get this anyway because you're going to want leftovers. This is another great way to tell the quality of the food. It's one thing to enjoy it when you're dining, but when you have the leftovers and they taste even better... You know you've scored! The beans are amazing! So incredibly flavorful, filled with chunks of meat, you might even spot a veggie or two in there, and they are so incredibly perfectly seasoned. Literally the best beans I've had in a restaurant. The blueberry cornbread. Before you make a face or question my sanity, not only what you want this, but you should get an extra slice to have with your leftovers at home. Yes, it's cornbread, but it taste more like a lighter version of cake. It's not gritty, it's moist, and the blueberries just elevate the cornbread. The greens. If you love greens, and like me, you've been hard-pressed to find a restaurant that can make them correctly, look no further. Another sign that the food is delicious, when you eat the greens as leftovers/on the second day, and they're even better than they were on day one. I'm telling you this is magic! Their desserts are pretty legit, and that banana pudding is lighter than air and is absolutely delicious. Diners tip: they open at 11 AM, and people were lined up at 9:30 am waiting to get in to order food for either dine in, or take away. The line stayed at least 50 people deep during our dining experience, and I would imagine it stayed that way until they closed. Belly BBQ has been opened going on two years, and if they are not on your radar, they should be! Go get your smoked meat game on!
Had a chance to try this fabulous BBQ. Brisket, Ribs, Sausage was all great, as well as the sides of Baked Beans, Mac n Cheese, and Slaw. Blueberry cornbread was heavy on blueberries but was quite tasty. The 2 standouts to me, were the Banana Pudding and surprisingly, the Turkey. The Turkey was ll I mp, juicy and more tasty than any Turkey I have ever had . Service was friendly and prompt. It isnt a large area to sit and eat, and with the short window of operational hours, the Restaurant lends itself more to an an order to go kind of place
The hubster and I FINALLY made it to Belly Barbeque! I was so sad to have been out of town for the Yelp Elite Event here. We stopped by yesterday and the line was crazy, so we decided to come today before they opened. Was there still a line before they opened? Yes. We waited about 40 minutes...but it was worth it! We ordered the Feeds 2-3 Tray that comes with 1/2 lb of Brisket, 1/2 lb of Port Ribs, 1/4 lb of Turkey Breast, two sides (we chose baked beans and cheesy grits), and a dessert (we chose chess cake). You can smell Belly Barbecue's deliciousness from outside and once you walk in that only intensifies! Everything is cooked to mouth-watering perfection! Their portions are ample. There is plenty to share and the 2-3 platter will feed our family for two sittings. The hubster and MIL raved about their baked beans and I was in heaven with the cheesiness of the grits...YUM! Also, the option today for the blueberry cornbread was fabulous! Their servers are friendly, work hard, and deliver up the smiles. Inside there are seating options for small and medium sized groups. We took ours home to eat and the food traveled excellently! Please note Belly Barbecue does have limited days and hours, so plan accordingly and do not let the lines discourage you if you arrive early enough...you will leave fed, happy, and satisfied! Thank you Belly Barbecue for your exquisite nosh! My palate and belly are exceedingly happy and you WILL see us again...VERY soon!!!
In search of a new bbq place to find near by Sacramento I was lucky enough to stumble upon belly barbecue. Highly rated and well worth the reviews as well. Restaurant opens at 11am and closes at 3 or until they run out of food. Got there around 10:30 AM and the line was already wrapped around the corner. Finally made it inside by 11:40 AM. Long line, yes but moves fairly quickly. Owner was super sweet as he had a cooler full of water outside for everyone waiting. Once inside we ordered a tray that could feed 2-3 people easily. Ended up ordering the bbq ribs, brisket, bourbon pork belly, corn bread, baked beans, mac and cheese, hot link sausage and house made pickles. All in all I'm big on brisket and I have to say I would rate it a strong 9/10! Super juicy, tender and great taste. Definitely quality food. The regular bbq sauce was the better than the hot bbq sauce. The hot link sausage had a nice kick to it. I would still prefer it to be a tad bit more spicier but that's just me. The bourbon pork belly was a game changer! A solid 9.5/10! Would definitely go back for that. As far as the facility itself, a few tables inside with a water station, a station for cutlery, napkins, to go boxes and lids for containers. The tables and chairs were pretty sticky so just be cautious and be prepared to wipe it down before you take a seat.
Amazing BBQ with top notch customer service. The owner took time out of his busy day to come over and check on how our visit was. It was super a super genuine interaction and I can't say how much I hope his business succeeds going forward. My dad and I made the 30 minute drive to Belly BBQ. We were looking forward to this meal all day. It did not disappoint! Totally exceeded my expectations. Their menu is straightforward. You've got your meats, sides and a couple desserts. Their 3 day hours of operation schedule allow for them to focus on perfecting their craft, and it's working. Line took about 20 minutes to get to the front. But the food was absolutely worth the wait. The Mac and cheese here was phenomenal. Not just creamy and cheesy but the flavors were deep and rich. The cheesy grits hit the high mark for me. I had only eaten grits once before and wasn't very impressed. The grits at Belly BBQ however changed my whole perspective on the classic southern dish. I'm craving some now and will be ordering the grits with every future visit. The BBQ here is done perfectly. We got the 2-3 person tray which was $55. Came with pork ribs, brisket, smoked turkey and the two sides I mentioned earlier. We also added two spicy sausages. This was a ton of food. Everything was delicious. I especially loved the smoked turkey. It was so bomb. Place is relatively small. Most people got their orders to go. No TV's, tables were very clean. The one bathroom they have was clean as well. I'll be back to have my fiancee try it and my dad has already volunteered to join us. It was a nice lunch with my pops, I'm glad Belly BBQ was able to deliver on the great food.
I was finally able to try them out since I was already in the area. I heard they can get busy fast so I was there at 10:30 roughly 30 minutes before opening. There was already someone else first in line waiting which wasn't bad until right before opening when a bunch of their friends showed up and essentially skipped the line that got much longer as time went on. This is nothing against the business but it was annoying since they took longer to order because what started as 1 person in line before me at 10:30 turned into a group of 5 or 6 as the restaurant opened. However, even with that slight annoyance, the food and service were good. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical after seeing some pictures online about the portions that looked smaller but they actually looked bigger in person. I ordered a beef rib as well as the 2-3 person tray and added a sausage to try almost everything since I'm never in that area and wasn't sure if I'd be back anytime soon. Most of the meat was good flavor wise but I'll admit the pork ribs and beef rib were tougher for me to chew compared to other places. There were plenty of leftovers as I only tried a few bites of everything before packing it up and bringing it back to my family. My biggest issue with this place, as well as most other BBQ places in the Sacramento area, is their pricing. One single beef rib was $40 and the tray for 2-3 people was $55. The sausage was $7 so I spent over $100 to try a little bit of everything. Meanwhile, at somewhere else like Bear West BBQ, I could get a 4 meat tray with 2 sides and cornbread for less than $40. Speaking of cornbread, I'm surprised it wasn't included with any of the trays here although I got a piece of blueberry cornbread in substitution for one of their desserts which was nice of them to let me do. Another annoying issue is they're only open for a few hours from late morning to early afternoon Friday through Sunday. I'm sure they make enough money during those limited hours based on the overwhelming hype and support I've seen for them online. But if you aren't there well before they open, expect to wait in a ridiculously long line with the risk of certain items running out. Overall, I'd say I enjoyed the food I had here. However, between the higher prices, long lines and limited hours, I probably won't be in a rush or make a special trip just to come back here. I might just stick with a single item plate next time after being able to try almost everything else today and not needing to do that again in the future.
First - A word of warning. You WILL be waiting to get in, period. They open at 11, I got there around 12:45 (first time) and got in the door around 90 min later and another probably 20 min inside. While outside, we kept getting updates from the staff as to what was GONE. First it was the beef ribs and cornbread, and it got worse from there. But luckily for me :) What I was wanting was still there by the time I reached the cutting board. Brisket, pulled pork and house made sausage (what was left) some baked beans and a slice of cheesecake. I have a simple guide on bbq. Does the meat taste good with NOTHING added to it. No sauce, nothing dumped on it. I want to taste what the owner wanted me to taste without dousing it with sauce. I was NOT disappointed. The Brisket, falls apart with the slightest tug, the pulled pork, You don't need anything added, moist without greasy. The regular sausage (they have spicy as well) was a perfect level of heat for me. And the sauce was a nice touch - not the cover. While enjoying my meal back at the house - My BBQ inspector was hoping for a piece.. Not happening. Kudos to the staff for handling what I'm sure is a non-stop flow of customers while they slowly run out of items. Keep that in mind when showing up and waiting. Get there late, well.... They are only open for 3 days a week and only 4 hours a day at that. Will HAPPILY return, well done folks.. I made sure to get enough to supply my lunches for the next few days. Make that wait worth while.

Good bbq is hard to find in California especially Sacramento area. You can find decent tri tip but real slow smoked bbq it's rare. The brisket was amazing perfect amount of bark and moist. The sides were 10/10. The crew was great, polite and friendly. I believe the owner was out asking people if they liked their food I appreciate the southern hospitality. Definitely will be back. read more

TL;DR - 10/10 great bbq! We will be back! Think I found my bbq spot in the area! It's been a minute since having really good bbq and this place did not disappoint! Had the Feeds 2-3 plate which comes with 1/2lb brisket 1/2lb pork ribs, 1/4lb of Turkey, two sides and a dessert. We picked Mac n cheese and baked beans for our sides. They offered sweet potato pie or pecan pie and we went with the sweet potato pie based on the employee's recommendation. With the meal, we decided to add cornbread and a spicy sausage to round out the meal. They offer Coke products by can or bottle, with free ice water near the tables. When we arrived, almost all the tables were filled with people enjoying the bbq. They have a streetlight lit up next to a chalkboard with hand written items showing what was still in stock right next to the door. I liked that touch as if you were coming for a specific item you could tell what was running out. Getting to the counter you are greeted warmly by the staff cutting and weighing the meats right in front of you. They did an amazing service and were quick to work the line. As for the food, it was delicious and flavorful. The brisket was juicy and seasoned well. It paired well with their original bbq sauce. The turkey was easy to cut, the seasoned bark on the edge was tasty and the meat was not dry. The pork rib was a star of the meal for me. The seasoning was the right balance of sweet, tangy, and greasy deliciousness. Their spicy sausage was wonderful. I enjoyed the slow hit of heat and the lasting burn after finishing. The sides were just as good and filling. I overheard the workers tell another customer that each week their sides are different sometimes hotter in spice and sometimes milder depending on the spiciness of the ingredients used. The baked beans had a decent kick of heat. I enjoyed how soft the beans were cooked. The Mac n cheese was tasty and cheesy. The cornbread was airy, light and buttery. Dessert was surprisingly sweet and delicious. Definitely enjoyed this experience and can't wait to go back for another meal! read more
My wife loves barbecue style food, so I surprised her by taking her to Belly Barbecue for lunch today. From the reviews I read I made certain we were early, and there was a line out the door already. In "Foodie Language", that's an excellent sign. All patrons we met were super friendly, just like the owner, Marcus, and his staff, who were nothing short of amazing ambassadors for their restaurant. We ordered the brisket, pork ribs, smoked turkey, collard greens, corn bread, Mac & Cheese, Brunswick Stew, and the pecan bar. I'm sorry but "Words" cannot begin to express how delicious everything was!! Their barbecue sauces were equally tasty... These wonderful people hit it out of the ballpark with their genial hospitality & food... Oh, did I say I couldn't leave empty handed, so we bought several more pieces of turkey & brisket to eat later. The pickles & pickled onions still have my mouth watering, like Pavlov's dog..... Thanks again Marcus for everything, we will definitely be back with family & friends. Rob & Jennifer. read more

But the line is out the door I hate that people know bout this place now lol This IS MY SPOT! DONT EAT ALL THE RIBS! Or the turkey! Or the brisket! Or the Greens!! Please please please save me a plate!! read more
@belly_barbecue brings the smoke. Less than a year since opening, prob the best bbq in the Sacramento Area (in my opinion). I ordered the 2-3 ppl platter (which I finished everything myself) that comes with brisket, ribs, turkey, 2 sides and dessert. I added the pork belly on top of that. Brisket was delicious. Melty fat and the bark was not too salty or peppery. A full-on Goldilocks baby bear situation. This is a brisket I could eat every day. But then I'd be 3x the size lol. Super moist and a robust white oak smoked flavor as well as on everything else. Ribs were nicely tender and had a wonderful gochujang glaze. The turkey was moist and maintained a nice exterior crust. All that aside the pork belly! Get it, Eat it, Love it! Perfect cubes that are smokey, melty, juicy, and meaty. The visual similar to Interstellar BBQ. By themselves 2 thumbs up, but with a drizzle of the bourbon pear glaze taking it to 4 thumbs up. I can rant about pre-glazed pork belly but there is a character limit. Lol. Being able to choose my own sauciness was great. I've had cubed pork belly burnt end at many other places that are FAMOUS for . . . the ones here might be my new favorite. I feel that the pear (which I originally thought was apple till Marcus corrected me lol) flavor complements the natural sweetness of pork belly better than any other fruit. Now have I tried all fruit glazes with pork belly? No, but I'm up for the challenge. The sides are excellent as well. The Brunswick stew is perfectly meaty, tangy, and a tie in to Pitmaster Marcus's Georgia roots. For dessert I got the chess cake. I haven't heard of this before but taking a bite, it strongly resembles a STL gooey butter cake. Is it the same thing with a regional name? IDK but it was delicious so that's all that matters. Dude, you just have to come here and try. read more

The service was great went on a rainy Sunday so that worked in my favor! Hands down some of the best bbq I've ever had. Everything is juicy af and tender SMOKED TO PERFECTION! I've never had a brisket cooked that good just melting . If you planning on going call to make sure they haven't sold out cause this food is outrageous and it will sell out! I'll definitely be coming here in the future. I spent 160 and it's worth every damn dime read more

Very friendly service and clean atmosphere. It's not a large place and most of the tables filled up while we were there. Food was delicious. Brisket and ribs were tender. Hot and Smokey and well seasoned. The meats tend to get one note after a while but the pickled onions cut that taste. Mac and cheese were delicious. Grits were yummy too but thin. The surprise was the beans. I'm not the biggest fan of beans but these beans had a little kick to it and it's more savory than sweet! I can't identify the spice, cumin, but whatever it was we'd order it again. I also enjoyed the hot bbq sauce. Some sauces that advertise as hot is more like sweet with a touch of kick but this was the nicest hot bbq sauce I've tasted. It did its job! We'll be back! read more

I've tried all the "acclaimed" barbecue spots in downtown Sac but they were either too dry and just lacking in meat options. Finally there's a new place that bucks the trend. Welcome Belly Barbecue with its southern style barbecue. Tender brisket sliced right in front of you, dripping in juice, to the monstrous beef rib laughably called a "small", I was surprised I didn't have to line up outside. As I was ogling the brisket being cut in front of me, the slice falls apart in the chef's hands. He asks me if I'm okay with that. I didn't have an issue since it's still brisket. But without me saying anything else he replaced it with a few extra slices of brisket. I was surprised at that level of service and attention. And he checked every slice and asked if I was okay with leaner cuts or a particular burnt end. I was impressed by how much respect he had for his food. I ordered brisket, pork ribs, and house sausages and he threw in a handful of pulled pork for me to sample (it wasn't even on the menu). Me spending $$$ may have been a factor as well. After we finished our meal he even came over to ask if there was anything he could improve on, he didn't care about flattery. Another rare interaction with a business owner. I mentioned my minor complaint with the pork ribs and he outright gave me two new ribs without me asking. At this point I was starting to be confused. And when I shyly asked for extra pickles they gave a small tub with no charge. Everything I had here was great to really great. Favorite Meat: - Brisket was juicy and perfectly cooked - House Sausage had a perfect snap and was not overly dense Favorite Sides: - Mac n Cheese: Best I have had at a bbq - Stew: So damn meaty with brisket I wish I just put it on bread or pasta. Very hearty. - Cornbread: Doesn't fall apart and not dry. Perfect. Favorite Dessert: - Chess Cake had a very interesting texture and flavor. It's very dense so make room! But don't take my word for it, I hate lines anyway. read more

If I could give this a 10/10 I would. The food, service, and hospitality was unmatched! A friend of my husband recommended Belly Barbecue and what a recommendation it was! We all ordered Tray #1, with mine being the brisket and a spicy sausage on the side. The brisket was the most juiciest and flavorful brisket I have ever had! The baked beans were delicious and the accompanying pickled onions and pickles set everything off! The owner Marcus came out to talk to us and he is wonderful! The love he puts into his craft is top tier! We will be back! read more

We walked in on a Sunday for lunch and managed to snag the last available 4-seater table. The restaurant is pretty small so tables are scarce and there seemed to be a constant line. Belly is only open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday which is not often seen- come on the weekends if you have a BBQ craving. I give this 4 stars specifically for Northern California BBQ standards. It's not nearly the best I've had- but it's decent and had some stand out items. My favorites were the pork belly (I wish it was a bit more tender, but the flavors were good-especially dipped in that fruit glaze), the mac n cheese (super cheesy and herby), and the spicy cheddar sausage (extra cheesy). I thought the brisket wasn't juicy, but it was a favorite amongst my group. The chopped pork was pretty much a pile of carnitas- nothing bad but nothing great. And we all agreed the pork ribs were dry and the coleslaw was watery and too herby- both a pass. I did enjoy both of their BBQ sauces. If we visit again, we'd definitely come at opening to try the beef rib, as those were sold out by the time we got there. Not a bad spot in NorCal if you have a BBQ craving! read more

Are any of the meats here halal?
Is it black owned and cooked?? Because you know..,,,
Yes it is. But let me tell you, it's one of the best BBQ's I've ever had. Everett & Jones is a black owned restaurant I remember from Berkeley. I recently went to one of their franchises at a casino years later. The BBQ is not the same. Dry and not… Read more
