Happen to be in the area and looking for a place to eat. Googled restaurants and this was in the list, so we decided to try. The young man greeted us and went over the menu. The menu is simple and the food came out pretty quick. It all tasted delicious and we were full, so we packed up the leftovers. During the day is BBQ and at night, the bar/lounge opens up. We will be back soon! read more

This is a spot for some fall off the bone ribs. Had the 2 meat meal which comes with 3 sides. Got the potato salad, greens and some Mac and cheese for an extra $2 but very much worth it. Also the baked beans are fantastic. So the ribs were seasoned perfectly. They literally fall off the bone and taste amazing. Comes with a side of bbq sauce. Had the hot link and chicken. Both were smoked and excellent. Great place to sit inside or outside. The service is great. Very friendly. Ambiance has the smell of the meat being smoked which is an awesome. Lets you know you're in the right spot for some good bbq. read more

I tried this place out for the first time recently. I had the 2 way with Ribs and Chicken. The served a chicken thigh and a drumstick. Both were cooked perfectly. The meat literally falls off the bone. The ribs were served naked with a container of BBQ Sauce on the side. I didn't particularly like the BBQ Sauce. Perhaps it is an acquired taste? For the 3 sides, I got mac and cheese, greens, and baked beans. All sides were delicious! read more

Kaylo's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Sacramento, California

First time in. I ordered the 2 piece chicken with a side of beans and a side of potato sald. Chicken is moist and fall off the bone tender. Beans are wonderful with a little meat in it. Potato salad is fresh with a little tang. Barbeque sauce on the side. It goes well with the chicken. Service was good. The owner is very friendly. Location is to the right of the bar which looks like a patio entrance. I will be back. read more

There is completely too much hype for this food to have been so mediocre. Pros: the staff was friendly and helpful. Additionally the beans were excellent Cons: where do I begin... 1. The food: the ribs were tough, the chicken was tough and pink inside. The greens and potato salad was...edible ‍ 2. Signage: if you don't know where you're going you end up inside a bar and then walk back out to a side patio. It would have been great to skip that step and be directed to the patio to order. Overall - I won't return. I'll absolutely make my own bbq because it's leagues above this food. Which I ultimately threw away at home. read more

Pork Ribs were falling off the bone! We'll seasoned and came with bbq sauce. Can't go wrong with potato salad and mac n cheese, both were great sides. I did order a beef rib that I was really looking forward to, however that was definitely not tender like the pork ribs. It was on the tougher side, so I'll have to pass on that. I will be back for a full rack of pork ribs next time around. We took everything to-go since it was too hot outside to eat there. read more

YUM!! I ordered the chicken with a side of greens and potato salad. The chicken was so tender and fell right off of the bone! I didn't think it could get any tastier until I added some of the bbq sauce that came on the side. You can taste the love and the time spent cooking this delish food. The greens were absolutely amazing; I drank every drop of liquid in that bowl! The potato salad was perfect and had a few black olives sprinkled in which is my absolute favorite! My boyfriend had the ribs, chicken, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and a side of greens. I was lucky enough to get the first bite of the Mac and cheese because it disappeared quickly! The baked beans were perfectly seasoned. I would have taken a picture of his plate as well, but he dug right in and didn't leave anything except the bones! I highly recommend visiting Kaylo's for very tasty food, great service with a smile, and to support a local business. read more

My son and I tried this place for the first time. The beef ribs were delicious and falling off the bone. There is a nice amount of meat on the ribs as well! The customer service over the phone was friendly and helpful! The food is clearly a local favorite as their menu was sold out! read more

Very good barbecue. I waited till they opened on Saturday. The greens, beans and mac and cheese, all great sides. Ribs were very tasty, great sauce, tri-tip and hot links. Not a clinker in the bunch. For dessert we had the peach cobbler, amazing. My only negative is that we got the house plate and it was just enough for 2 people for 35 bucks. read more

After seeing all of the social media posts we gave Kaylo's BBQ a try. Service was excellent at this little casual patio dining spot. Everything we tried was delicious. We ordered a half slab of ribs which were meaty and fall off the bone tender no BBQ sauce required. And a two way combo plate with chicken and a link and our side dishes were potato salad, filthy rice and mac n cheese. Everything again was delicious but the chicken was very small and the side dishes were about a 1/2 cup serving so not very much for us to share and being that I was charged extra for the mac and rice I thought the servings would be a little bigger. But other than that small issue everything was very tasty and we will definitely be back for those ribs! read more

I've been trying to catch this place on their open days because Sac really doesn't have an any good Bbq restaurants. I finally made it today my first order was two way chicken and hot link with 3 sides ( baked beans; potato salad and greens). My 2nd order was trip tip with the same sides. If you want their filthy rice or Mac & cheese it's an additional $2.50 so I upgraded to the Mac & cheese for both orders.... The trip tip was dry and tough; the Mac & cheese dry; baked beans were ok and the greens taste like vinegar. read more

So, as a rule, I'm not critical of local businesses. After Anthony Bourdain labeled Yelpers the worst kind of people, I really checked myself on what Yelp reviews should be. If you're an a-hole looking for a Michelin experience at a bargain, go somewhere else. But if you're looking for solid bbq, with solid sides, a proprietor who clearly cares about their craft, and a great deal, this is it. I got the works on a day they had run out of tri tip by an hour after opening. Doubled up on chicken, and the chicken and ribs were all done actually perfectly. Not like when people say "to perfection" and you try it and it's not your idea of perfection, but as in all of us can fully agree this is the right level of season, smoke, and moisture. Perfection. The mac and cheese is the pasta/cheddar type, not a creamy one, but not a bad one. The potato salad is a sweetish one with olives, and I enjoy that. The greens weren't salted much, so add a little of your own. But this filthy rice and doctored up beans alone will make me a regular! Will be excited to try these Saturday beef ribs a different day. Ambience would be helped simply by music playing, but, man, nothing like a personal welcome from a hard working man and knowledgeable staff. Bring your good vibes. Congrats on creating a shining star on an otherwise sleepy stretch of Sacramento's used car and small retail places. Wishing you all a long, prosperous time. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I been in the search for good BBQ in Sacramento and sadly I'm still searching. My husband and I went as soon as they opened. Although they weren't ready the customer service made us stay they are very friendly and professional so we waited. Menu was kind of confusing they do up-charge for certain sides and I guess meat but their prices are fairly reasonable especially in this market. Now to the food I have to be honest here I'm from the Bay Area and I am 100 percent convinced that people from Sacramento have completely different taste buds than people from the bay. I have been told about so many places to try to go there and be disappointed every time. The plate Ribs- They are beef I wouldn't have gotten them if I knew that. They were very fatty and lacked flavor. I was only able to eat 1 of the 2 Links- Offered Pork so that's what I got they could have been left on the grill a lot longer Baked beans- tasted like pork and beans with hamburger meat onions and bell peppers. I wasn't impressed Mac and cheese- Was good I added some salt and pepper it was the ONLY THING I COMPLETELY FINISHED. Potato salad- was ok I love olives just not in my potato salad Filthy rice- I had one spoonful and I was done with that I thought it was going to be like a dirty rice I was wrong. Greens- too many stalks no flavor at all only had a fork full of it. I gave three stars because they are a black owned family business, they were professional and very friendly. The location is convenient and they made a nice space out of nothing. I can appreciate that. read more

Waited in line for an hour and a half. Came right when they opened and there was a line already out the door. Ordering process seemed a tad slow, they would take a few orders and then fulfill the orders right after, making the next few people in line wait. You need to get here early so you're one of the first ones there. You can see the smoker outside cooking some of the meats as you are waiting. Ordered the 3 way plate and the tri tip plate. The food was really good and the meat fell right off the bone for everything we got. All the sides were delicious as well! Especially the beans! A tad pricey in my opinion but still good. read more

Kaylo's BBQ - 3 way plate and tri tip plate - Barbeque Near Me - Sacramento, California

Love, love, love their food, their attitudes and everything about them! It's rare that you find courtesy as well as delicious food. Tender ribs, and tri-tip to die for. Make sure to try their beans as one of your sides, they're one of my favorites. I can't speak of the ambience because I've never actually been inside. I am disabled and my daughter always runs in to get my food. Thank you Kaylo's and your good hearted son. read more

So finally I had Kaylo's Bbq!! Everyone was nice and fast service etc. I was getting ready to be blown away cause of the hype etc. I ordered large sides Filthy Rice and Mac and cheese For the amount of the large cup over price barely feeds one person! Mac cheese average at best. Filthy Rice has potential over price but ok! And I ordered full rack ribs ! Average very disappointed maybe it was a off day for their Ribs? I might try again on the fence cause I love BBQ!! read more

Have only been here once. Very tasty ribs, so tender. My order was to go, and it not only met,. But exceeded my expectations. read more

The food is great, the service is awesome. The ambience is amazing. They serve the best BBQ in Sacramento. If you are looking for great BBQ this is the place to go!!!! read more

Kaylo's BBQ - Ribs, chicken, greens, Mac and cheese, beans, potatoe salad and peach cobbler. - Barbeque Near Me - Sacramento, California

I got the ribs and hot pink with greens, beans, and potato salad. It was not good at all, the ribs lacked flavor. The hot link tasted as if it was heated up in a microwave. All of the sides were very disappointing. Overhyped would not give a second try. read more

Not a good experience, food was not good . Way overhyped . Won't be returning. Strange how Instagram so called foodies are raving about this place . read more

The first thing we are told is "We are out of a lot of options". To be clear, he said they only had pork ribs and potato salad. Hard pass. They opened at 1 and it's 3:30 in the afternoon. How did you run out of everything jn 2 1/2 hours? Or did you just never have food to begin. Might as well have said we are closed for today. Disappointing! read more

Food was nice and hot. But the flavor if the sides were not great. We had a long wait time. The meat was lacking a bit.

To die for ribs and dirty rice. Great service and to be honest, everything is great! 10/10. Highly recommended!!!

Fast and friendly service and delicious food. I don't normally eat just anyone's potato salad but this was so good. Will need to order a 3 way as far as portion size but will definitely be back!! read more

This place. How do I sum up my experience at this place? It's located in a depressing, almost totally empty strip mall. Right in front of the place there were 2 or 3 cars that were receiving maintenance. Not the owner of the restaurant's fault but still. The menu is printed on a banner and hangs over the service counter that doesn't look like it could actually pass a health department inspection. The dining area seems appropriate for the type of food being served. There are just 3-4 tables so best to take out if possible. It's attached to a lounge with a big bar, so you may be able to eat in there but not sure about that. We ordered the chicken for one meal and ribs for the other. $18 for 3 bones seems quite expensive. The ribs were good but felt like it wasn't a good value as they were really fatty. Chicken was dry and offered little meat. The sides were also disappointing. The baked beans almost defy description. Swimming in some kind of liquid with ground beef and what seemed like jalapeños which was strange. Potato salad had almost no flavor. However, I will say that the staff was nice and attentive. They were the highlight of this otherwise forgettable bbq place read more

I had the ribs and some Tri-tip, both were amazing and the potato salad was some of the best I've ever had

Food was DELICIOUS!!! It was my first time actually committing and going inside to grab some food. I drove past it numerous times and it did not disappoint at all!!! Staff was extremely nice and attentive and the food was seasoned to perfection! Definitely something I would recommend for catering because the food makes you full and happy!!! will be back!! keep up the delicious work! read more

Meat and sauce is always good. Make sure to arrive early to have a chance at trying everything.

This is BY FAR the best BBQ in California and all the sides are great. The owners and employees are awesome people.

The atmosphere was inviting, it has part the restaurant and part bar This was my first time going here. They suggested the plate that came with 2 pieces of rib 2 pieces chicken which is a leg and a thigh that I received not sure if they offer anything else as far as like a half of a breast and 1 sausage link it also came with 5 sides I will definitely say I would order the ribs again possibly the chicken, but everything seemed really dry like it had been sitting for too long, especially the tri-tip. I'm really funny about my food after it's been sitting for a very long time even the five entrées that come on the side, you could tell everything had been Sitting for a very long time . I will give it one more try and go earlier in a day when I have the availability to show up early. I was very disappointed after all the good reviews that I saw but again I'm not downing on this place because I see so many good reviews. I just think I need to go more earlier in the day and try the food again everybody there seemed really nice and the atmosphere is wonderful. You get a good vibe when you walk in It was very welcoming. read more

This is a hole beside a hole in the wall. Don't let the ambiance fool you. This is the most delicious barbecue. We got four meats and five sides. Everything we ate was amazing. We had spare ribs, links, tri-tip and chicken. Everything was perfection. Then we had the potato salad, greens, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and dirty rice. I would love to eat everything there and I'd love for them to add cornbread and dessert. It was all so great, that I wanted to try more. The flavors were wonderful. Don't miss this awesome restaurant. It should have lines down the block. read more

My friends Dachsund was a fan at first sniff ~~! Love the fact you can get these BBQ Beef Ribs in Arden Area of Sacramento! Mac & Cheese + Filthy Rice were real nice & sauce was smackin' ! Service was great & even served the Beef Ribs on a Wednesday (normally only Saturdays) as that's what I came to try so very happy about that! Got order to go even though they have a nice covered patio area outside for dining plus bar area inside. Be back to run those back soon and try some more of the menu! read more

Food here is off the chain! Staff super friendly and fast to bring you your order. Smoked chicken is never dry and the ribs are killer. I order the extra potato salad since it's my favorite. Best bbq spot around the sac/arden area. It's simple, is southern and it's good. Kaiser hospital staff loves this spot! read more

Tried a variety of things on the menu. Service was pleasant. The environment was interesting. Hopefully, these folks do well.

Meat was not seasoned well and it was cold. Mac and cheese ... well you see it. Greens did not fill the bowl . Potato salad and bbq sauce was the best I ordered . I would of been better off going to chillis or applebeels read more

Kaylo's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Sacramento, California

This place is a total scam. I ordered two two good to go orders and they're supposed to be a total value of $30 of food. When I get there they gave me one order that equaled $18 on their menu. They told me they only give you enough food for what you paid for and not the value of the voucher. This goes directly against the two good to go policy. Very very shady business. The girl told me it's her manager's decision and she couldn't help me. I would never recommend this place to anyone or recommend supporting them. read more
