Good barbecue is tough to find around here. And great barbecue? I've only had it once in Northern…read moreCalifornia. Until today. Pitmaster/Chef Michael has an amazing backstory. I actually stumbled across the Dirty Pit BBQ page on the Nextdoor app, where he had posted a video about an unhoused community member who needed a bike. Michael was reaching out to the community and using his platform to see if anyone had an old bike they were getting rid of, or even one to sell and he would buy it and then gift it to the man. Today, Michael told me that he saw the person just the other day, and someone came through with the bike. As I stood talking with him, enjoying my meal (more on that in a second), there was not one but two other people who were standing nearby. Michael offered both of them some food and a smile, saying he knows how hard it is out here. I don't know that I've seen that level of generosity ever at a food stand, and I'm here for it. The question, then, is Does the food measure up? And that's an easy one to answer. I was the third party in line at about 12:15 this afternoon, shortly after opening, so I was able to get a good look at what I was already smelling. No one got to the front before being offered a sample - a bite of tri-tip or a burnt end or an oxtail - which was a great way to try almost everything in one visit. Amazingly, there were zero misses, and everything on the menu was as delicious as Chef Michael described. I chose tri-tip, ribs, and burnt ends for my plate, with mac n cheese and beans as my sides (though I was also offered a sample of collard greens, as well), and I can tell you this: the biggest problem you're going to have is narrowing down your choices. The tri-tip is tender and flavorful, and the temperature was a very nice medium rare. The oxtails had a fantastic homemade blend of seasoning. I don't often order oxtails, but these had such a comfort-food quality that I immediately realized I've been missing out. The pork ribs were large, meaty, and perfectly seasoned. The burnt ends had an incredible glaze. I brought a bite of mac n cheese over to take a dip in the burnt end sauce and almost fell over, it was so good. The mac n cheese was exactly what you want it to be - a nice crust on top, and cheesy, gooey goodness all throughout. As for the beans and the collard greens: I can't remember ever having better beans or greens anywhere, ever, and that's after living in the South for over a decade. The greens were incredible - so often they're too salty or bitter, but I could eat a whole plate of these. And the beans were the most savory, hearty bbq beans you've ever seen. I've literally never been excited about bbq beans, because so often people either heat them up straight from a can, or cook them in a way that makes them taste like they're canned anyway. These beans were insane, and that in an of itself is kind of an insane thing to say about beans. All of that to say, this is competition-winning-level stuff here. And let's put this in context - at this point, Chef Michael has his meats and sides all kept in catering trays lined with foil, which would make it tricky for an all-day setup. But he's been selling out before anything gets too dry. I've been fortunate to be at the front of the proverbial line of a few of the best (Texas Monthly Top 50 - actual best!) bbq places in Texas before they blew up (Corkscrew in Spring when it was a trailer and a tent, Tejas in Tomball when it was a chocolate shop), as well as most of the famous spots, and I am completely confident in saying that if Chef Michael keeps up this level of smoking and cooking, we're looking at what could become the gold standard for NorCal bbq.

Food is really good. Favorite is the brisket, pork belly and collard greens. Need to try the oxtail…read morebut they don't have often. Service is quick.

Daddio smokehouse is a true dream in Rancho Cordova. Not only does the owner really care about his…read morecustomers, but there has never been a time we have placed an order and the food would be less than 100% top quality. I highly recommend the mac & cheese, greens yams, and baked beans basically all of the sides and none of the meats have ever disappointed me! The portion sizes are great, and the price is extremely reasonable. I'm a returning customer for sure I will continue!

So I recently got a desk drop at my desk that the following Tuesday we were going to have a catered…read morework event catered by Daddy O's Smokehouse.I personally had never heard of this restaurant,so I was more than intrigued at the idea of trying a new business and a BBQ one at that. So on the day of the event I saw them setting up in the back lot and boy did it smell pretty good. They were serving over 200 people at this event so my expectations were held in check. This is what they served that day and what I thought about them. Tri-Tip-My favorite item of the event-perfectly made,seasoned well,textured perfectly-left me with a smoky taste in my mouth for hours-9.25/10 item BBQ Chicken-I'm a pretty harsh bbq chicken critic and I was more than pleasantly surprised on this one-tasted great-smoky flavor-juicy-a solid piece of meat-8.1/10 item Potato Salad-another surprise on the high quality taste here-tangy yet rich,very creamy,potatoes held their shape-I enjoyed it thoroughly-7.75/10 item Baked Beans-They were just ok-they tasted good when mixed with the potato salad-I'm not a baked beans guy historically,so I'm the wrong audience for this dish-7.0/10 item. Dinner Rolls-Soft and tasty-got the job done and made for a great vessel for a tri tip slider that I enjoyed-7.5/10 item All the dishes were self serve except for the meats,so was tough not to go too hard on the sides considering I was in line with 200 people. Overall I really enjoyed the food Daddy O's served at this event,enough so that I will definitely go out of my way and make it out to their location so I can try more of their delicious food. So far,I recommend them

Easy menu. Prices were really affordable but keep in mind some meats cost extra but the prices are super fair.

A warm, welcoming spot with flavorful comfort food that keeps you coming back…read more Finally made it back to Sacramento for a post-op visit and had to stop here. I hadn't been since last summer and was happy to return. Parking can be a bit hectic, but once you're inside, the atmosphere makes up for it. It's a family-owned spot, and you can feel it right away -- everyone is kind, welcoming, and takes the time to check in on you. We came for breakfast, but they also offer lunch and barbecue options, so there's plenty to choose from depending on when you go. They've also expanded and now have a location in Elk Grove. I ordered the French toast plate, which came with thick-cut slices of bread, eggs, and bacon. The French toast was soft on the inside with a nice golden finish, full of flavor without being overly sweet. The eggs were well seasoned, and the bacon was cooked just right. BB ordered the cheeseburger with fries and a side of grits. The burger was juicy with grilled onions and melted cheese, and the fries had that crispy, beer-battered texture. Everything came out hot and satisfying. Overall, a great spot for comfort food with genuinely friendly service. Definitely planning to come back -- especially for the biscuits and gravy next time.

I ordered the country fried chicken smothered with gravy to go. For someone who grew up in Texas I was somewhat hesitant to try it but it did not disappoint.. Ambiance of the restaurant looked like it was right out of a small town in the south Great family owned place. Thank you Monica for the recommendation!!
