Poppy’s Bar & Que - Updated menu and definitely recommend the nachos. I would really recommend sharing them. Such fresh ingredients and your choice of meat. - Sports Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

Shoutout to Folsom, CA. Poppy's Bar & Que. 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. read more

Poppy’s Bar & Que - Nachos and 1/4lb meat tray ribs brisket and pulled pork with mac salad and pit beans - Sports Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

I really wanted to whole heartedly like this place: -Overall, food was good we really enjoyed our brisket sandwich and the cheesy potatoes. Super delicious! - Nice little bbq joint and enjoyed the ambiance, there is a couple games inside you can plan and looks like a full bar. Areas of Improvement - Server told us it was her first few weeks at work. Two times I had to go up to the bar from outside because she didn't check on our table the whole time we were eating except to drop off the food. Mind you, the entire restaurant was dead inside with maybe one other customer so shouldn't have been an issue. - We informed her one of our waters spilt and she proceeded to hang flag poles for about 5 minutes until getting back to us with a new water. I really don't want to harp on servers but it's hard for me to not notice, when I have server experience personally. - We would have really enjoyed the nachos but just a little feedback- toppings could be spread out more evenly cause once you eat the top few nachos nothing is left on the bottom layer. Pulled pork was tasty. read more

Great little bar and restaurant. Fairly quiet, good food, good drinks, nice people. Been there once for lunch, once for a b-day party and once for a gathering. Always accommodating and make you feel at home. Families are welcome. A little pricey but so is everything else. read more

The ribs are too die for but the Service is a little suspect. They have pretty limited hours too.

Honestly they have a nice little bar for watching sports, with great ambiance! The service was cool, but I ordered the brisket and pulled pork with a side link and potato salad and it was not good. The brisket had a tiny drizzle of bbq sauce and there was absolutely no sauce on the pulled pork, so I asked for some(idk if I was charged extra). Not to mention the meat was cold, I mean wasn't even warm. Potato salad was okay but as far as the meat goes, the brisket tasted dry and leathery and the pulled pork which had 0 sauce on it was almost inedible. I paid and left half the food there, it sucks because it was close to $30 worth of food before I tipped. Did I catch them on a bad day? Idk but chances are I will not be returning for food. They do have a nice bar though I will give them that. read more

Way too expensive for just ok and basic food. $35 for one meal- 2 meat with Cole slaw and fries, no drink! And then an additional 3% for using a credit card! read more

We stopped on our way home from Rescue for a quick lunch. The service was excellent, the food was good and quick. The place was not crowded so I'm not sure how it would be on a busy night. I'm read more

Decided to have a late lunch after a day of shopping, rating on Yelp looked promising. The exterior of the establishment displayed military friendly flags... cool even better... happy to support any Veteran owned establishments. Upon entering... vibe seemed as if we were not one of the "usual patrons"... food was decent... bbq place with no bbq sauce on the tables available??? And an up charge for bbq sauce is so weird to me... anyway they do not offer military discount. The subpar food and uninviting small town vibe is a hard pass for me... I spent a good penny on lunch and tipped appropriately. Will not return. read more

Great neighborhood bar and grill. The bartender Mia was awesome. Food was great so get there early since the kitchen is open till 8:30.

The burger I got had a foul smell to it, meat was grey and a little slimy. Told the guy (owner I think) he jsut shook his head and said everyone else likes them. He wouldn't even look at it. Gave him $5 for my beer and walked out. read more

Food is unbelievable, tender ribs and brisket that melts in your mouth! Highly recommend, staff are very attentive to customer needs. Will definitely be back. read more

Poppy’s Bar & Que - Smoked Brisket, Hawaiian Macaroni Salad, Ribs, Fries - Sports Bars Near Me - Folsom, California

Amazing bar!! You gotta go especially for the food and football!! You'll want to come back for sure!!!

Adding to previous in light of management response. Every single one of our visits was well within the kitchen hours he listed. Once someone told us they closed early and the other times we were told they were out of food. Only so many attempts, but definitely a bummer read more

Great atmosphere. We stopped in after a martial arts class and they were closing in 20 minutes. The kitchen closes at 7pm. Thursday nights, but the bar stays open until 10. We were still greeted warmly and chose to sit at the bar. We orders the brisket, bbq ribs, fries, coleslaw and Hawaiian macaroni salad. The meat was hot, delicious, and moist despite us coming in at closing time. Fries were crisp and hot. Coleslaw was good and not overly sweet. The Hawaiian macaroni salad wasn't really Hawaiian because chopped pickles are added, but they added a nice enhanced flavor if you like dill pickle. I will definitely go back when I'm craving brisket or bbq. read more

Great smoked BBQ, great atmosphere. Nice staff and they have Shiner on tap. One of the few BBQ places in this area to get it right consistently. read more

Went here on my lunch break cuz I was craving some bbq and was met by the nicest bartender Bri! The chef recommended the brisket melt and potato salad and it was delicious. 10/10 food and service! Will be returning. read more

I was so hungry forgot to take pictures but ordered a pulled pork sandwich with a side of beans. Got my husband a brisket sandwich with the Ma's potato salad. Also half a rack of ribs. The sandwiches were full of flavors and texture, very juicy and delicious. The beans had a really good smoky aroma and good. The potato salad was very hearty. The ribs were a bit bland but super, super, ridiculously fall-off-the-bone-tender! Devoured it with some bbq sauce I had at home. Highly recommend their food! read more

Collard greens and brisket absolutely amazing and what an absolutely adorable bartender! I felt completely at ease and comfortable going in there. It's 73 years of age. There was only one out of wine, crazy customer. read more

My wife and I have driven by Poppy's too long. Finally went there for dinner tonight. Wife had a burger. I had the brisket. Both were great. Plenty of seating. It's deceiving from the outside. Interior is clean and well-maintained. Full bar. It'll be on our usual restaurant rotation in Folsom. read more

Very good brisket sandwich. I might go skiing again as an excuse to go here. I am usually picky with meat, but it was great.

Nice bar-style atmosphere, with multiple TVs to watch sports. Ordered the brisket, so tender and an easy 10. The ribs were seasoned well and fall-off-the-bone tender too..a 10. Three different sauces to choose from but preferred the Red. Cole slaw was very fresh and tasted great. Poppy helped us and was spot on with great service. read more

Service was excellent! However, bbq very tough and chewy. Owner didn't respond to complaint... Very hard to get good and consistent quality bbq... read more

Delicious bbq. I love the brisket and the jalapeño mac and cheese! Great service, they are kind. The restaurant is very clean.

Great food. Great service. Great atmosphere Family loved it Definitely will be back.

The worst Mac and cheese ever. It was supposed to be jalapeño Mac and cheese. But this had no flavor. None. The salad had raw onions on it. Not the purple onion, which would have been acceptable, but the white onions. The brisket sandwich was just ok. And they forgot to give us our order of chicken wings. When we called to ask about the wings, he wanted to make the wings, but after tasting the food, we just wanted our money. Guy on the phone hung up on us, because we had a "attitude ". The ambiance was weird. Lots of wasted space. read more

Loving the new ownership here! Bar and wait staff are on point, my drink has never been empty, and my food has always been fresh and quick to the table. Will be going back all the time for the foreseeable future read more

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere! The service was amazing! I know where we will be watching football this year!

The ribs there are great, The staff is nice, and it feels good eating there. The chili (amazingly delicious), the ribs (fall off the bone), and the Hawaiian Mac salad are great! Kids are allowed with their parents. So is jalapeño Mac and cheese with bacon (which is also excellent). It tastes like heaven. read more

Stop by 2 different times around 7pm. Kitchen is closed. So if you don't get there before 7 there is no food!! Not worth the stop!

Fabulous home cooked food....even house made bbq sauces! Such a fun atmosphere!! We absolutely love this place! Come and see Bri the bartender! Great service and always a smile! read more

I hate rating so low, especially since the cook is wonderful super nice and delicious food. Been here a few times this last time we had a young female bartender that just didn't check on us at all waited until I went outside to see if my fiancé needed another beer if you're looking for a quick place to get a good bite definitely recommend but...don't come for the service. Also, they charge for fries with your burger.... read more

Outstanding BBQ, melt in your mouth brisket, delicious wings, both the potato and macaron salad were good - very plain, but tasty. Service was excellent, drinks were good, variety was appreciated! Waitress said new ownership was fairly new. Restaurant / bar was clean and spacious. We appreciated the football game audio piped into the bathrooms. read more

Good food, everyone in our group loved the food. The greens are tender and the Alabama whitesauce was fantastic.

Based on Yelp's reviews, I went to Poppy's and was not impressed. Had their chicken burger, but bun was stale and chicken did not cover the bun. read more
