    Beef Belly
    Jennifer L.

    We came to celebrate my future son-in-law's birthday and had a really fun evening overall. We usually go to the Arden location, but since it's closed right now, we decided to try this one,and I'm glad we did. The sides were a standout,everything was fresh and flavorful. The fish cake was especially fresh, and the miso soup was absolutely wonderful,comforting and perfectly balanced. The fried rice, unfortunately, missed the mark for me. It felt more like plain white rice with peas and corn mixed in, rather than a true fried rice dish. That said, the pork belly more than made up for it,it was delicious, well-cooked, and full of flavor. Definitely don't skip the cheese corn and dumplings, they were highlights of the meal. And all of the beef options we tried were excellent,tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. The birthday dessert was wonderful and such a nice touch to celebrate the occasion.I loved the spinning reward, which made the experience even more fun and interactive. Overall, a great atmosphere, fun experience, and strong food highlights. We'll definitely be back!

    As a big fan of the OG Howe location, our longings for Blue House were hitting hard with the prolonged remodeling of the original location. We went to Blue House Roseville for a celebration, and were hoping it would be as good as the OG. For the most part, it hits the spot. If you're a fan of the taste of Blue House, you'll feel right at home here. There were some things of note that were of interest to us that differed from the OG. The ventilation isn't as good. It's definitely more smoky; not only is it visibly more smoky, the smell definitely lingers more at this location onto your clothing. This place is smaller and can't handle as much traffic. Just something to note for large parties or those wanting to go on days that are probably more busy. The ordering process at least for us was old school. Unlike their other locations that use tablets, it was paper and pad. This led to some mistakes in our orders. Additionally, it took a while between rounds for wait staff to get back to us. This also was reflected in drink refills. The kitchen felt it was a little slower than other places, so it compounded into longer waits. If they fixed the wait times between rounds, it would have made a much better experience.

    Came in for dinner and had a really great experience overall. The food was just as good as I expected and everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and hit the spot. I did notice this location is a bit smaller than the other one, and the selection of side dishes is a little different too, but it didn't take away from the experience at all. It actually felt a little more low key. The variety of banchan here was a bit different compared to the other location I've been to, but everything we tried was still really good. It was nice getting to try a few new things, and everything paired perfectly with the meat coming off the grill. Huge shoutout to our server Erica!! she was amazing all night. Super attentive, always checking in at the right time, and made sure we never had to ask for anything twice. She really made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. Definitely would come back again, especially knowing we'll be taken care of like that.

    The food was on point and the music was fire. Nghia was off the chart!!! He made the experience . Coming back soon

    Came here on a weekday. Not too busy during dinnertime but when it does get busy, there's not much room for waiting inside so be prepared to hang around outside if you're waiting in line. Lots of parking. The interior is well lit and great for a catchup dinner with friends or even going to eat after work on a weekday. It's a bit more casual than some other KBBQ places which I enjoyed. I tried Option B on the AYCE menu, only thanks to my server's recommendation and I'm so glad I did! I was expecting to only try the A option but after talking to the staff, I was completely convinced!! Service can be okay depending on when you go. The night I went, I was blessed to get Koby as my server. He was extremely welcoming, and really took the time to educate my group about the different options and meats. We had a million questions and he was warm and friendly through it all! He was super quick and handled all of my table's needs. He really took "Make a customer, not a sale" to heart. If you can get Kobe as your server, do it! Your table will have the most fun time. You get the basic sauces right away (salt and sesame oil with a side of Gosu sauce). I usually get lots of kimchi and lettuce wraps to pair with my meats but you can also get rice if you're feeling it. I love the little taiyaki ice cream but sometimes the ice cream does come a litter freezer burnt. I wish there was another taiyaki piece to balance out the ice cream to taiyaki ratio. This is a KBBQ place after all but that's something that I noticed if you're looking to get dessert here at the same time. They have several soju flavors to try and a special Valentines Soju Cocktail Slushy as well. It was sweet and refreshing but I don't think I would reach for it again unless I was really in the mood for a sweet treat. It wasn't too strong either. Shoutout to one of the workers (I think his name was Alex?) for recommending the drink to me. He looked so focused working, I honestly felt bad for interrupting him but his hospitality was incredible and he was wonderful explaining the different drink options for my table. Where does a restaurant find such amazing talent for servers?! I would have given 3 stars but honestly, the two servers from that night brought my review up to 4 stars. Overall, Blue House is a great casual hangout place after work but maybe not for super big special events. I enjoyed my time there and will come back with my friends. Thank you Blue House!

    We came on a Saturday right when they opened so it was empty. Even as we dined, it was empty and a few parties did not trickle in until the end of our dining experience. This was my first time at this location. I have previously dined at their Sacramento location years ago, which is now temporarily closed. Service was great. A shout out to EJ for being so attentive that we didn't even need to use the service button. Also how cool is it to have a service button on the wall at your table that you can press! I've never seen that at any restaurant and thought it was nifty. We chose the lower tier option which still has a TON of different meat and appetizer options. I enjoyed the galbi and my sister enjoyed the spicy bulgogi. They also give you cubes of meat fat as a way to grease the grill before laying down the meats, which is a nice touch as well. We got the fries, jjangmyeon, and steamed egg as appetizers. The fries weren't the best and could probably use a couple more minutes in the fryer. The jjangmyeon was disappointing. I've never tried it before but it looked like regular ramen noodles to me. I wish we had more room to try more appetizers! Overall a good experience!

    Food is 5 stars, I've been coming here for years and really enjoy all the selections they have on the option A. The reason for the bad review is because of the new tablet they have at the table. You order through there instead of through a server. Kills the customer service and interactions so that's a 1 star... next the system didn't even get my order right. Order multiple things that didn't come and wrong quantities when it did go through. Please get rid of this!! Then you will get 5 stars all day. Hate to even post this review tbh

    Dining area and bar

    This was by far one of the worst steakhouse experiences I've ever had. I waited about 15 minutes just to get a fork. I was told multiple times that they would bring one, but no one ever did. There were no napkins on the table, my water was empty, and I wanted to order another drink, but no one came to check on our table for about 20 minutes. The service was extremely disappointing and inattentive. As someone who also works in the restaurant industry, I understand that restaurants can get busy, but basic service and checking on your guests should never be ignored. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this place. Save your time and money and spend it somewhere else. Out of all the steakhouses I've been to, this was easily the worst experience.

    About $70 difference between total check amount and what was charged

    Came Blue House for AYCE dinner for a friends birthday and the service was beyond terrible. We had ordered multiples of the same item and only received one each time. This was for both the meats and appetizers. The excuse was that there was a "language" barrier of the cook which I think ridiculous given that there numbers indicating how many servings we requested. So we had to wait the 10 minute minimum to order more. The food took forever to come out and the excuse there was there is only 1 cook in the back. The restaurant was full so I don't why management would have a full restaurant with only 1 cook... And the cherry on top was that our bill came out to a total of $258ish (with tax) but our card was charged for $331. That's about a $70 difference. There wasn't an itemized reason why were charged that much!! Of course they reversed it but I caution everybody who comes here to check their bill before paying!

    Had the best experience at Blue House on Thursday! My friends and I usually go to the Arden location because it's closer, but since they were closed we decided to drive the extra miles to the Roseville location to celebrate a birthday. We've never been to the Roseville location and were surprised to see how upgraded it was compared to Arden lol. We were seated immediately with no wait time (but then again, we were there on a Thursday night). It did get busy throughout the night, so I would expect a wait if you're coming later during dinner time or if you have a big group, and I suspect the weekends are even more busy. The service here is amazing, our server checked in on us frequently and always offered to change our grill. We noticed that compared to the Arden location, our server here literally never forgot to put in our orders and everything came out really fast, which we appreciated. We happened to come the night that the general manager, Eric, worked and he came by our table and had a great chat with us. He ended up surprising our table with complimentary tiger prawns which he cooked for us, some mango bingsu with mochi, and a coupon for my friend's birthday. We weren't expecting ANY of this, so it was quite a treat and made the drive out there so worth it. We loved this location and can't wait to be back soon

    Quite literally the best food i've had in a long long time! This place is not just amazing, it deserves all the stars possible! Very affordable for a dine in place nowadays also has lunch specials 11-3pm.! Our server on wednesday evening was just amazing, top notch service and they make sure to make every person happy despite being so busy! This was my first time trying them, and i'm so surprised on how much i like it!! The kimchi was so delicious, and the meat even better. Sesame chicken got me on a choke hold now!! i will not stop telling people about this place!

    Spicy Noodles and grill

    Great food and great service. We went on a saturday at dinner, surprisingly there was no wait. We did all you can eat for 2 adults and a kid. It was great, all the servers were super helpful and efficient. You can order from a tablet every 10 minutes, which i enjoyed because you didn't have to wait for a server to come around. it also had pictures of all the items which was helpful as somebody who rarely eats this cuisine. The manager was amazing, he was wandering around the restaurant checking in, he noticed our table was burning fast so he replaced the meat & burner for us. he helped us cook the meats to perfection, and made suggestions of which were the best choices! After helping us, he was helping another table pour shots and drinks! For korean bbq it was about average, $40 per person with the option to order 12 rounds of meat (if you order every 10 minutes for your full 2 gours) 10/10 would reccomend coming here if your looking for korean bbq!

    Diana F.

    Tried their AYCE option "A" for $38/pp which included a variety of beef, pork, chicken, seafood, and all the appetizers. Option "B" had a few extras but didn't think it was worth it. It's a standard Korean bbq place. The star was definitely the meats. The appetizers were fine, but you'd end up getting filled on those and those were mid. Props to the servers walking around replacing the grills. That alone is 5 stars. Definitely recommend. 10/10.

    Ask the Community - Blue House Korean BBQ

    All you can eat?

    Yes, it is all you can eat.

    When is kids eat free?

    Wednesdays!

    Hi, I'm in search of finding a Korean BBQ place that allows solo AYCE. Can you accommodate single person? Thanks

    None of the AYCE KBBQ restaurants in Sacramento require a minimum number of people.

    How come the cheese corn isn't cook before bring it out anymore?

    Hello Justin, thank you for submitting a question. Cheese corn is one of our favorite and most popular item. We’ve learned from our randomized sampling surveys on corn… 

    Are they doing dine in?

    Yes they are. We just dined in on Wednesday evening

    How much does the dinner All You Can Eat cost?

    I may be wrong but I think it's like $27 and $36. The higher one obviously with more meat choices and more seafood.

    Is this all you can eat?

    Yep

    Does this location have steamed egg?

    Yes they do! I didn't get to try it though. You can order only 2 sides at a time and I didn't get the chance

    Has anyone had the fried chicken? Care to comment?

    Sorry, we didn't order the fried chicken.

    How long does it take to get in and out during lunch? Looking for it to be less than 2 hours to make other appointments in the afternoon.

    We went on a weekend lunchtime and it wasnt too busy so it depends. You can make reservations, so I would recommend it, if u can. Our entire experience lasted at least an hour. I would leave 30-45 min between your appointments, depending on distance.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, I know they do on weekends but not sure about every day

    Can you please compare Blue House to the prior restaurant Iron Gate?

    Hands down better than the old restaurant that was in the same place before.

    Does this location have halal meat?

    Perhaps you should contact the restaurant directly. They certainly do not advertise that any of their dishes are halal or kosher.

    Does this location have All You Can Eat?

    They don't have all you can eat but the portions are really big. We got the $59 meat plate for five adults and had tons of leftovers.

The beef ribs were huge, incredibly tender, and packed with smoky flavor. The pork ribs were the best I've had in a long time--cooked to perfection with just the right amount of bite. The tri-tip was juicy, flavorful, and sliced perfectly. We also shared a baked potato and the mac and cheese, and both were the perfect sides. The atmosphere has a fun country vibe, right down to the cowboy hat-wearing servers. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. We were greeted with a warm welcome as soon as we walked in, and the experience ended with our leftovers boxed up and a genuine invitation to come back again soon. Great barbecue, friendly people, and the kind of hospitality that makes you want to return. We'll definitely be back!

When we…read morearrived, we were initially going to be seated at a table, but I asked if we could have a booth instead and they said no problem and accommodated us right away. Our server, Todd, was fantastic. He was attentive, friendly, and provided great service throughout the meal. For our food, I ordered the chimichurri top sirloin without the chimichurri. My husband and one of my sons ordered the smoked chicken with beef ribs, my younger son had the buttermilk fried chicken kids meal, and we also ordered the chicken nachos as an appetizer. Unfortunately, none of us really enjoyed our food that day. Afterward, I received a survey about our visit and gave honest feedback about the experience. The assistant general manager, Dennis, reached out to me personally, was incredibly apologetic, and offered us a generous gift card because he genuinely hoped we would come back and give Lucille's another chance. I really appreciated the way he handled it. He listened to the feedback, took it seriously, and made a real effort to make things right. We decided to give Lucille's another try, this time ordering takeout online, and the experience was completely different. When we arrived to pick up our order, the employee helping us actually took everything out of the bag and compared each item against the receipt to make sure nothing was missing. I really appreciated that extra attention to detail. There is nothing worse than getting all the way home with takeout only to realize something was forgotten. I decided to order the chimichurri top sirloin again, but this time I kept the chimichurri on it. What a difference. The steak was cooked to rare perfection--juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were savory and delicious. The coleslaw was also very good, although I personally would have liked it just a little creamier. My husband ordered the Southern fried chicken with gravy, garlic mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, along with a side Caesar salad. My older son ordered the brisket Smokey Joe, and my younger son had the buttermilk fried chicken kids meal. They also gave us a bag of five biscuits with apple cinnamon butter, which was such a nice touch. This time, everyone genuinely enjoyed their food. Maybe our first visit was simply an off day, or maybe we just didn't order the dishes that were the best fit for us. Either way, I'm really glad Dennis encouraged us to give Lucille's another chance because our second experience completely changed our impression. Between the way we were accommodated when we arrived, Todd's great service, Dennis taking our feedback seriously, the care taken with our takeout order, and how much better the food was the second time around, we will definitely be back.

    This place has been hit or miss recently. Used to come quite often, not food sadly has been going…read moredownhill. On a positive note, you can never go wrong with the back porch lemonade, that is great every time! The brisket that used to be amazing is just ok, and today was very strange looking (wish I took a pic) and kind of liked like a thin slice of tri tip. I ordered the 1/2 chicken and it was actually great tonight. A few of the others in our party had their meals come out wrong, which was disappointing. We were a large party (12), so I know that can be challenging. The server did his best and was nice for sure, but clearly frazzled. The biggest complaint tonight aside from the overly leisurely pace of the meal, the patio seating! It used to be great, they had shades all around the sides to block out the sun as needed, not all of those have been removed leaving us to bake in the sun!! Not good, why in the world would those have been taken down?! We moved tables trying to get away from the sun, but no escaping it. Another couple that came in also tried to move tables to avoid the blinding light which made dining unpleasant!

    Stopped by Buckhorn for the first time for Father's Day lunch. Great joint for pretty good BBQ!…read more Buckhorn is an order at the counter and get a number type place. The line was long when we came in, but moved quickly. The bigger problem is that there aren't nearly enough tables for how many folks were dining in. We did end up finding a table on their patio- which is always a win for our family. For about $70, we got two kids' meals (one slider and one chicken tenders), a shareables order of the tri-tip tacos (that my wife ate as her entree), and a two-protein platter with the pulled pork and tri-tip. They asked how we wanted our tri-tip cooked, and we answered medium, but all of the tri-tip came out well done. The flavors of everything were good, though, and the portions are substantial. The kids' meals are a great value. The two-protein platter was enough for two meals if you wanted it to be. The tacos were filled generously and were very tasty. I enjoyed the coleslaw- though I read some others find it bland. I did not think that at all. I really enjoyed the selection of sauces available at Buckhorn. They have a pump-your-own-sauce station with several types of BBQ sauce, horseradish sauce, ketchup, and spicy ranch. Yum! My favorite was the mustard-based BBQ sauce. Overall, I would totally return to Buckhorn. I could probably lean 4 stars here, but I think it's a better spot for BBQ than many others in my area and in the Roseville area that I've tried. It's certainly made my Roseville area visit list.

    Giving Buckhorn 3 stars is short of a stretch because it's really a 2 1/2 star experience but here…read moreis the good and not so good... First off, the format is order at counter and either pick up togo or get a number to have the food brought to you. Inside seating was clean but w a cafeteria vibe. They have what could loosely be described as a bar completely unmanned on a Saturday afternoon. Fortunately we weren't interested that today. So very meh. The service at the counter was very pleasant then you go into make your own sodas. My wife had the tri-tip burger and her tri-tip was grisly. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was Sahara dry. Even generous amounts of bbq sauce couldn't save it. Bbq sauce not bad though. Cole slaw for the sando was also pretty good. The highlight of the visit were the OG fries. Huge plate suitable for sharing across 2-4 people...If we ever went back, it would be for cold beers and sharing a plate of fries....

    A true bang-for-your-buck kind of spot. I kept seeing people walk out with tray orders for takeout,…read moreand now I know why. They've got both quality and quantity. The pancit was a hitter, especially with the pork skewers and lechón. For around $30, you can get a tray that easily feeds 3-4 people. That's hard to beat. This is more of a wish than a complaint: if they ever did longaniza with garlic rice, or tocino as a breakfast option one day a week, I'd be first in line. There just aren't enough Filipino food spots around here. If you've never had Filipino food before, let me make it easy: First order: BBQ meat with rice and lumpia. Fifth order: Upgrade to adobo or sinigang. Tenth order: Get the halo-halo. You're in now. Friendly people, good portions, and real comfort food. Definitely worth checking out.

I got the half and half combo with the pork adobo and one other rib entree. The vinegar on the adobo was too strong for me. The other rib entree was fine. It was tender and the meat fell off the bone. I tried one of their ube buns, and yum, delicious. Should I come back, I want to try the halo halo. Service was good. The staff were very sweet. Kabayan also sells drinks, chips, and snacks on the side. It's half a mini mart and half restaurant.

    The structure: This neighborhood little sports bar is great! They have fun games for everyone…read moreincluding kids, lots of TVs and a big bar area. The FOOD: Not great at all...hardly even good. I don't think I have ever been to an establishment where everything that we ordered was pretty bad. We ordered chicken wings... half of the order was barbecue the other half was parmesan and herb. They were dry and the flavor was lacking in both. I also ordered their fried pickles. I didn't know it was possible to mess those up until the basket of yummy,flavorful pickles came and were completely wet and soggy with breading coming off of it. What a disappointment. My husband ordered the brisket sandwich with their cheesy potatoes. The waitress described it as like a fully loaded potato.That sounds yummy, only it wasn't. It was presented as partially mashed potatoes with chunks in it and the cheesy flavor was almost like the flavor from a packet of mac and cheese sauce. The sandwich was a flavorless tasting shredded barbecue. We asked for barbecue sauce to put on the sandwich and it tasted like somebody put vinegar and sugar in that sauce. I ordered the chopped BBQ sourdough bread sandwich and there's no way that was sourdough that I was eating but instead tasted like bread that was toasted. That was probably the best thing I ate was just the bread because the meat was as I described before no flavor and very disappointing. I also ordered fries and thought at least I can eat these but I was wrong. Even their frozen fries were lacking in flavor. We also both ordered iced tea and asked for yes, artificial sweetener and we were informed that they don't carry any. Just regular sugar. That was a first for me! Never ever been to any restaurant or eating establishment that didn't carry a variety of sugar for people who drink iced tea. It's unfortunate that everything my husband and I ordered was really bad. It almost was comical except that we paid $80 for that inedible food. The Service: Our server, Ana was awesome!! She was the only one taking care of everybody and she did it flawlessly. When we asked for extra sauce, she delivered it quickly. She was good about checking on all the customers even though there were only 4 of us in total. A family of 5 left 10 minutes after we arrived and 2 people sat at the bar 15 minutes after we ordered. She had a great attitude and smiled a lot. She said she was new to the job but her actions made it look as though she were a veteran. OVERALL: The service was great and the establishment itself is a great neighborhood sports bar hang out but the food was really really bad. It wouldn't have been a terrible thing if just one or maybe two items we ordered weren't that great but the fact that every single thing including the tea was bad, is the reason that we will not visit this place again. By the way, it took me a couple of weeks to write this, because I aim to see the good in everything. I do not like to receive negativity or give it. It was difficult to be that honest especially when other people in the reviews really liked the food. Good for them! I do hope that this place will have enough customers to stay open for a long time. I wish them the best of luck.

    Shoutout to Folsom, CA. Poppy's Bar & Que…read more Before walking on the Johnny Cash Trail, we decided to try out Poppy's Bar & Que on East Natoma Street across the street from the community center. We saw the smoker in the front of the building. I do luv me some good ole BBQ. So off we went. We ordered a double down plate $26: two 7oz protein choices with cole slaw on brioche and an 8 oz side choice. Brisket and pulled pork were our protein choices with and potato salad. We bought another side, macaroni salad. We requested that the pulled pork be placed on the side and additional sauce. I dislike being that customer with persnickety preferences. But we were, and they didn't blink an eye. Super accommodating. The pulled pork had a deep smoky flavor. Tender shredded pieces. Mmm. The sauce was served on the side. That too was delicious. Hubs had the brisket and wolfed that down before I could swipe a piece. Darn. The potato salad was tasty. Slightly tangy, which I really liked. The place is family owned and operated. It's a sports bar and family friendly bbq joint. Giving off family friendly vibes. But hey, a bar and family friendly? Yes. They both co-exist harmoniously. Talking about sports. The TVs of course are tuned onto sports. All of the screens are strategically placed throughout. They even have framed signed football jerseys from USC Trojans, Denver Broncos, and 49ers to name a few. Pretty neat.

    I'm not sure when it happened, but the whiskey barrels full of peanuts--and the shells scattered…read moreacross the floor--seem to be a thing of the past. Now they hand you small bags of peanuts, small buckets for the shells, and the floor stays a lot cleaner. We stopped in on a Sunday night after a local IDPA match at Sac Valley. It was probably around 7 or 8, and the place had a modest crowd. The wait for a table for two was quoted at 20 minutes, but the bar had open seating. We put our names down and headed over. Surprisingly, there were plenty of open seats, so we grabbed two and let the hostess know we were set. The bartender greeted us almost immediately. We kicked things off with a couple of tall boys, an order of fried pickles (I'm a sucker for these and order them almost every time they appear on a menu), and of course some roasted peanuts. For my main, I was in a surf-and-turf mood and went with the 10 oz sirloin and grilled shrimp, plus a baked potato and Caesar salad. The sirloin was about what you'd expect for the price--not the most flavorful or tender cut, but it was cooked properly and satisfied the craving. The shrimp were a mixed bag: a bit overcooked and chewy, though they were bathed in garlic butter and came with a garlic aioli-style dipping sauce. The potato arrived crusted in salt and loaded with toppings. The Caesar came pre-tossed and leaned a little too heavy on the creamy/dairy side, but I still finished every bite. One thing I love about Texas Roadhouse is that you always know what you're going to get.

Hated the taxidermy animals on the wall but figure that's kind of the vibe of this kind of restaurant. The food here is okay, I feel like you kinda know what you're going to get at a Texas Roadhouse. A lot of deep fried options. Food came out pretty fast. Good for a casual dinner.
