    Food- good Service- poor Ambiance- average I just wish they have more crew and keep tue open kitchen clean. Im not sure if they are renovating but there were unnecessary items by the cashier area too

    Bloody bone on the cut roasted duck that was "resting" for a while before the chef cut and plated it
    Vicky L.

    Second time here and I'm so disappointed with the lack of service and food that this place has to offer. The first time I came in was during lunch and both the service and food were great, as my party of 3 were the only ones there at the time. We ordered the preserved pork clay pot rice, yellow eel clay pot rice, dry beef noodles, and a whole roasted duck. The duck came last after about 35 mins and it was cut and put into 2 to-go boxes as requested. The server told us to try some on the spot and we did--it was roasted to perfection. Crispy skin and juicy meat. We visited again yesterday for dinner and it was so terrible. My party of 5 arrived around 6:45 PM and were seated quickly. We ordered the dry beef noodles, preserved pork clay pot rice, whole roasted duck, deep fried pork intestines, and the oxtail stew. Water was given about 10 mins after we ordered and all of our food was coming one by one, but the duck didn't come until an hour or more later. We were initially told by the server that it would "take a while" and that's why we ordered the duck as soon as we got seated. She checked in twice and only said "it's resting but we will cut it soon." Attached, see the photo of the undercooked duck. The bone is clearly still leaking blood. When this was brought to the chef's attention, he gaslit my mom and said "you guys should have called ahead of time so that I have time to prepare. I made 3 ducks during this time and they are all like that. If you had given me more time or waited longer, the skin would be crispy." So you're telling us that even with an hour of waiting, that was still not enough time to make it? It would've been nice to be told that BEFORE we ordered so that we can eat elsewhere. The most upsetting part was he didn't even take accountability and was blaming the customer. The least he could've done was ask if we would like a remake, a partial refund or just refund us and take the duck back. Also, if you have a party of 5 or more people, they automatically add a 18% tip and considers it a "large party." This was never disclosed on the menus or in store, so just an FYI.

    Incredible, authentic Cantonese food. Everything was super fresh and well-prepared! We came on a Tuesday afternoon and it was still almost a full house. Most if not all of the customers were speaking Cantonese too so you know this place is legit. The staff was friendly, and seeing who I presumed was the chef walk around checking on tables showed genuine care for his guests and his cooking. Highly recommend!

Wow the food was as good as the beer!!!! service was on point and the patio was busy with a large party but we were off prime time so little to no wait. Parking was a bit challenging as they are in a neighborhood but it can be found. Open modern interior with a beer area that will make any lover beyond happy. The somewhat open kitchen is always fun as well. The Food: Smokehouse Dip: OMG a smoked french dip? Yes please. Nicely sliced smoked meat with a bun that had just enough integrity to survive being dunked in the jus but soft enough to eat without. The melted cheese added a nice counterpoint to the smokey meat and helped offset the saltiness of the jus. Add a bit of their house bbq sauce and it was perfect. Onion Rings: Like a moth to flame I will order this everytime. perfectly friend and just the right batter to onion ration. I could eat these all day long with one of their beers Caesar Salad: Crisp lettuce and plenty of parm. The dressing could have used a bit more acid but was nevertheless good Beer: Pilsner served in a cold glass. Nice and crisp it was a perfect beverage to cleanse the palate between rich bites.

Beware of doing Door Dash though, there is no way of ordering extra sauce. Our BBQ plate was very small and lacked sauce. Clearly the Mac and cheese was not up to par either... so, please plan accordingly...

Had to add lots of bbq sauce which added some juiciness and flavor. My fav bbq sauce are the pig candy and regular tin roof. Both the baked beans and garlic mashed potato were super delish!! The Maui Waui IPA was actually very good and refreshing! Staff were courteous with good customer service! Will likely visit again.

Using the yelp app. Due to glitching with the internet service one order was duplicate 7 more times in error and the order went through. I contacted both GrubHub and the restaurant immediately to notify them the error. Thinking someone from the restaurant would also respond wondering if this was correct that someone would be ordering the same exact thing in quantity. Online with Grubhub they left me on hold for 45 minutes and once I reached this location, after I also sent an email, I was told to call another location that was closed. I held one line and called Grubhub from my husband's phone. We are now 30 minutes from the original order being placed and they say it's in process and can't be stopped. Two hours later a delivery person showed up with all this food. We try to declined the order and the driver, nice guy, tells us to call again to get it addressed. All this food going to go to waste. I was no longer hungry. 5 small salads and 8 brisket burgers. Charged for 9 meals. STILL WRONG. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE YELP PARTNERING WITH GRUBHUB!

So I thought I'd try Family's. Ordered the brisket and chicken and a slice of pecan pie. The brisket was aight', well done and pretty light on the sauce. The chicken, really dry, yet enough sauce. The pecan pie was ample. I think I might have made it better on my own.....and I've never made a pecan pie before. I'm a small business supporter, and so I thought I'd give Family's another try. The next weekend....... Back to the previous week, while waiting for our food, a couple was waiting for cornbread they had ordered, and were waiting the entire time, and then some, during the entire time I had been there to place, wait, pay and leave with my order. So I'm thinkin' "this cornbread must be good! and popular." When I called the next week, to place an order which included this supposedly amazing (the story I made up in my head) cornbread, we were told that there wouldn't be any cornbread that day due to the fact they didn't have the ingredients to make, said cornbread. With a Raley's AND Save-Mart within walking distance from Family's. None the less, I'm gonna try a third time.....cause I hear that's the charm. I gotchu' Family's, I want to see you succeed and I wanna make you one of my spots, in case Kaylo's decides to go m.i.a. again. Ambience was cool, may wanna turn up the decor and 'vibe' a bit. East Sac folks can be a bit boojie, as I sit here calling the kettle black.

    Wow that was incredible!…read more For my dad's birthday and fathers day we ordered bbq tri-tip, ribs and mac and cheese. My brother and his wife found Silverback BBQ through a friend who highly recommended trying this for a party. We wanted something special for the birthday and my dad loves bbq. Ok we all love it but this was all geared for my dad. I bbq and smoke meats sometimes so I have some idea what to expect. I knew the food was going to be great just from word of mouth and some of the pictures on his site so the expectations were high. We paid extra to have the food delivered. Communication and payment was easy. Silverback BBQ (Carl is his name if I recall) and his wife both delivered the food. I was worried it might be cold but the special container he used, some kind of large carrier or crate kept the food very warm. It was steaming when everything was placed on the table. The smell was amazing! He proceeded to cut up the tri-tip into slices. I can't remember if the ribs were already cut or not before or during. He had made everything to our own specifications. We wanted medium well, somewhat spicy with some sweet and that's exactly what we got. The tri-tip had a beautiful cherry smoke ring on it. It was juicy and tender. The ribs were perfect. Again juicy, easy to bite off the bone but it didn't just fall apart, had some pull to it(which is good!). Flavor was great. Let's just say my sister who never eats ribs had a second helping. Price was great for everything that was included. I wasn't expecting Carl to also cut the tri-tip in front of us and serve everything. He took a lot of care to make things very enjoyable and I'm serious about that. Aside from the food I give his service 100% perfect. The whole process was entertaining and fun plus he took pictures with my dad and some of the family. I can't describe his personality with enough credit. He's just a cool dude for lack of a better word. Professional but cool. Looking forward to the next event when we can order more!

We tried their lunch special at $25.90 per person, which is honestly an incredible deal. It includes the full salad bar plus table-side service with about 11 different cuts of meat. The portions were so generous that we filled up before we could even try them all... and this wasn't even the premium, full experience! The salad bar alone is worth a visit. It had a great variety, even including hot dishes like beef stew and chicken stroganoff. Still thinking about those yucca fries! If you just want the salad bar, it's only $17.90, which is a great lunch deal in downtown. What really set the experience apart, though, was the service. Erika took such great care of us--attentive, warm, and genuinely kind. Even though it was just a casual weekday lunch for us, she made us feel like we were celebrating something special. The food is great, but the main reason I want to come back is because of Erika! It wasn't always a busy place before, likely because the higher prices kept people away, but now it feels much more accessible, and I'm really rooting for them to succeed.
