They truly seem to care about there customers especially there regulars and make sure everyone is enjoying their meals. read more

I had them do ribs and brisket for my birthday party. It came with beans and Mac and cheese and it was AH-MAZING!!! Service waa top tier but the food was more than what was expected and impressed everyone. I have eaten here once before and it was so good. If your goal is to feed a hangry herd of people this is what you get! The environment of the restaurant is amazing and welcoming. Feels like going to a friend's house for a bbq. I will recommend this place to everyone. It is always above and beyond!!!! Thank you again for such an amazing spread of food and good people! read more

We LOVE Brett and the team! Hosted a 30th birthday here and could not be more grateful for the service and the fantastic food. Enjoyed it so much the party was on a Friday and we're back on Sunday afternoon. Cheers, hangry herd! read more

WOW, for sure coming back (often). Our Cali girl, loved the sweet servers, outdoor patio, and amazing bites we shared with her, LOL! Thank you Hangry Herd for opening up for lunch on Fridays! You are close to the office, but honestly so good that we will make sure to come by anytime. read more

The Hangry Herd - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

A small, local, family-owned-style restaurant in the Rancho area serving brisket, ribs, and all of the other BBQ fixings freshly cut to order. I want to give this place a bit more credit because I do think they're trying to provide the highest quality food/drink/experience they can to their customers, but I'm also a bit pickier w/ BBQ, especially having done BBQ/brisket touring in Texas and Tennessee. Moist brisket is decent; the lean is a bit too dry. The sauces are good and can pair well w/ the lean brisket. Portion sizes are a bit small, and the prices are a bit high, although it's understandable that meat/supplies are more expensive for everyone these days as well. Sides are OK - the cole slaw tastes fresh but a bit under seasoned. Mac and cheese had a bit of a powdery/gritty taste to it, which made it feel like it wasn't from shredded/melted down cheese and more reconstituted. The rolls tasted like they were from the supermarket aisle - not even Hawaiian bread style. Baked beans were solid and just the right amount of sweetness. Beer selection and quality is solid. A bit surprising they don't have many wines available given that they used to be a wine bar. I was honestly between 3.5-4* on this but giving them a bit more credit/because they do give off small-local-business-effort. read more

Our quest for BBQ over the last few weeks finally took us to Hangry Herd. The interior is not expansive and has the normal tables (high and low) and chairs along with overstuffed chairs and coffee tables (ala Central Perk from Friends). While the coffee shop decor is nice for enjoying a beer, they are not ideal when trying to eat BBQ. You stand in line to order and being crowded, I didn't. My wife did as my bad knees made me find the last free 2-top and await her precession through the line. Another Yelper mentioned a 5% up charge for the kitchen staff as my DW didn't notice. The prices are already at the top for BBQ in Sacto ($29 for a half rack of ribs and two small sides). :-( Speaking of food, the St Louis ribs were not my fav. The rub was good, but they were so overdone that they fell apart if you tried to pick them up, the crust was so crisp they fell apart when trying to cut them. Lastly this had to be the runt of the litter as the bones were about the size of my little pinkie. (see pic). The mac and cheese just OK with the pasta way overcooked and the sauce really loose. The potato salad was good despite being a small portion. Obviously they are setup to sell beer and ordering just a soft drink gets you a can and a small glass half filled with ice cubes. There was self-serve water but for more ice you had to go back and stand in line. :-( The DW's Pulled Pork sando was very good and the side Caesar Salad was large and flavorful. Definitely a do-again. read more

The Hangry Herd - Itty bitty Bones - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

My husband randomly picked this restaurant and it did not disappoint. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to your table. The restaurant was not full and we waited 15 mins before our food was served. We ordered 2 different platters as pictured below and the meats were juicy and tender. My favorites are the brisket and chicken. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked. We picked 2 sides with each platter and the potato salad stood out. The restaurant has a nice industrial look and has a small private room for parties. This is a solid BBQ place. read more

Good, reasonably priced BBQ is hard to find these days and The Hangry Herd checks all of the boxes. The location is a bit tucked away and there can get to be a line at times so definitely come early to get the meats you want before they sell out. Huge fan of the brisket and tri-tip here, the pulled pork is stellar, the ribs and chicken are also good but not quite stars like the brisket/tri-tip. Mac and cheese and the baked beans are in my opinion the top two sides and the coleslaw and potato salad provide a nice change of pace when you're looking for something more refreshing. The vinegar in the slaw definitely helps cut through some of the fattiness of the meats, especially the brisket and pulled pork. Good selection of beers on tap and a good if not eclectic mix of music playing in the dining area. Will definitely be coming back for more! read more

After seeing ads on social media to stop by we finally made a trip out. The place is a decent size, with high tops and some couches as well. The line moved decently, but we did notice a lot of people leaving after what looked like placing an order. Upon arriving, they did tell us it was an hour wait (which explains why people may have left after placing an order). We chose to do the larger sampler plate with bbq chicken, tri tip, brisket, and pulled pork. The plate also included options of 3 sides, and rolls. We chose the potato salad, coleslaw and smokey mac n cheese. They also have a nice selection of beers on tap, including the Humboldt Cider Co. I hope to be back soon as I enjoyed the food. I may order ahead online if theres a long wait. read more

Nice place to go to grab a bite when wanting BBQ. With an assortment of options to choose from, we wanted to try as much as possible so we got the Hangry Sampler. With four meats and the ability to choose three sides, we felt it was a good choice to try that much. Of the four meats, three were solid. The more I had them, the more I enjoyed them. Those first bites were just OK, then I tasted some of the more subtle flavors of the other meat later on. The weakest meat was definitely the chicken. It wasn't very memorable, and had sauce on top. The other three were better. For the sides, we got potato salad, Mac and cheese, coleslaw. While they weren't the stars of the meal, we just thought of them as solid. Nothing to go crazy for, but not offensive. Mac and cheese was interesting and a tiny bit different, and I've definitely had worse renditions of the dish. Potato salad and coleslaw were solid, but similarly, not the most amazing. The sauces we felt didn't do the meat favors, in the sense that they weren't as good as the meat. They were solid at best, but not amazingly mind-blowing. I'd go back if in the area and wanting BBQ. I'd probably try something new like the ribs. They do have self-serve water, plates, napkins, which are a bonus. The seating area isn't the biggest, and this is exaggerated by the space with some interesting decor choices. There is an outside area, but on those hot Sacramento days, didnt look there were fans or cooling apparatus. read more

We stopped by on a Friday evening an hour before closing! We were bummed that they ran out of ribs but their Tritip and chicken were great alternatives. They were very tender. The smoked Gouda Mac and cheese was a bit too watery for my liking. Overall, great food and great experience. read more

First time here and they just debuted their new menu today (5/28). We tried the rib and brisket platter, and the tri tip sandwich. The portioning is a really good size, and the meat is so Smokey and tender. The ribs fell off the bone, they were my favorite of what we tried. The Mac and cheese was extra gooey and yummy, also had a great smokey flavor. For their tri tip sandwich, they actually cut the tri tip up into little pieces, it was so much easier to eat than the normal slabs of tri tip you get at bbq spots. The baked beans were the best baked beans I've ever had, they had shredded pork pieces in it, just so tasty. They are definitely comparably to urban roots, which is our normal go-to for bbq. The service was great, everyone was very friendly. The only thing I'd change here is the add cornbread to the menu! We sadly did not get to try their peach cobbler and ice cream but when I return I definitely will! read more

So I have been following The Hangry Herd since they opened and finally got to try them today. The place is cozy inside with sofas and chairs mixed with tables and barstools. You order at the counter and your food is brought out to you. We had the Sampler which includes moist chicken breast, fall apart brisket, lean tri-tip and semi dry pulled pork. We had coleslaw, mac and potato salad as our sides. The food was good. Now this is where the problem starts the platter is $75. We had a delicious hard cider for $8. So before tax which is 8% our meal was $83. So why was my bill $97.12 ? I had to call and find out. Hangry Herd charges 2.5% credit card fee and 5% to help pay the staff ! If a business needs more revenue just raise your prices! To me all the extra fees without disclosure is FRAUD. Will not recommend or return. I take my reviews seriously so I will respond to Hangry Herds comments. 1) 2.5 % credit fees most places post a small notice at the card terminal. Nothing at HH. 2) 5% fee for competitive wages. There was no screen for me to see what I was being charged or at least it was not shown to me. My interaction with the cashier was this " sampler platter and a cider". Cashier " that comes to $97.12". After paying the cashier asked if I wanted a receipt. At no point was the fee ever disclosed. Furthermore if you look at the photo of the menu board taken at 2x zoom the fee is barely visible from where a customer would be standing. 3) Tipping, you don't have wait staff, who would think of tipping ? I wasn't asked to sign a receipt so how would this even come into play ? Drinks and ordering are self service. The tables in the patio were not even clean with BBQ sauce and food crumbs on them. Simple solution is to raise your prices nobody cares if the Sampler is $75 or $79! read more

So was hunger was knocking and I chose to answer with Hangry Herd. The service was great. I had ribs, brisket, potato salad, regular mac&cheese, and the brisket mac&cheese. So the ribs and brisket were tender. Had a light seasoning but the BBQ sauce on the side more than made up for that. It truly enhanced the flavor. The mac&cheese was good. The portion was almost criminally small. But hey pther than that a solid meal. Will definitely return. read more

They would get 5 stars, but the 80s era disco music was a little rough to listen to. With that said, the brisket was the best I've ever had. It was moist and tender. The pork ribs were fantastic! The potato salad was impressive. Not your normal store bought stuff. The Mac n cheese had a good taste but the texture was off for me, not a fan. The ice tea tasted more like an Arnold Palmer than just an ice tea. I didn't see any sugar anywhere to make it sweeter. I also didn't see any straws but maybe they were out. It was after the lunch rush. I'll be back next week for the beef ribs. This place is excellent overall read more

Came in craving some good BBQ and found this spot on Yelp--glad we did! They were sold out of almost everything when we got there--only had brisket and pulled pork left (which basically told me we showed up late to a party everyone else already crushed ). Honestly though, that's a good sign the food is legit. Even with just those options, they absolutely delivered. The brisket and pulled pork were both on point--super flavorful, tender, and didn't last long on the plate. Also have to give a shoutout to the coleslaw--it was AMAZING. Fresh, crisp, and the perfect balance to go with the meat. Lesson learned: show up earlier... or be prepared to fight for the last bites next time Definitely coming back! read more

The Hangry Herd - Barbeque Near Me - Rancho Cordova, California

If you're craving solid barbecue in a welcoming setting, this local spot absolutely delivers. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between cozy and polished, with warm lighting, sturdy wooden tables, and comfortable seating that makes you want to linger. It feels thoughtfully put together without losing that relaxed, down-home BBQ charm. The food is the real star. The shredded pork sandwich was tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor, while the tri-tip sandwich was equally impressive -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and piled generously on fresh bread. If you're trying to decide what to order, go straight for one of the platters that offer multiple meats. It's the best way to sample the range, and you won't regret having a little bit of everything. The staff were genuinely kind and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The only disappointment? They ran out of ribs -- which honestly feels like a backhanded compliment, since it probably means they're that good. Still, I'll definitely be back (earlier next time) to snag a rack before they sell out. read more

My husband and I bought the 4 meat sampler with 3 large sides for four people. Cost, with tax around $80 and we tipped, which was closer to the $90 mark! Their "large" side feeds up to 2 people, barely. The sides we chose were potato salad, baked beans, smoked mac n cheese. Potato salad - taste store bought; definitely not homemade. Not a fan. Baked beans - okay. Smoked mac n cheese - not at all smoky, lacks flavor and too soupy. This and the potato salad were my least favorite. The meat selections were brisket, tri-tip, chicken, and pulled pork. Brisket- nice and tender; not smoky Tri-tip - chewy; not smoky; flavor much to be desired Pulled pork - minced; not smoky; flavor much to be desired Chicken- taste boiled; not smoky; no flavor Not the BBQ place for us. Everyone's taste desires are different. You be the judge . read more

The Instagram algorithm knew what I wanted! This came across the feed (no pun intended) and the pics got my attention immediately. Made a reservation as recommended. Flash forward a couple weeks and my fiancee and I made the trip to Sunrise blvd and Trade Center drive. Parking is easy. Walking in and the place smelled great and they were playing some jams. Rick James was blasting on their speakers. Good vibes so far. Let the guy at the counter know I was there with a reservation and he told me to pick any table I'd like and to look over the menu and come back when I was ready to order. A BBQ prides itself on its ribs and brisket, pulled pork too but the pervious two are my favorites. So that's what I went with. Their Mac and cheese looked delicious and had Gouda as a main ingredient so we had to go with that. The mac and cheese was super creamy. Noodles were very tender to the bite. It was a 4/5 for me. The brisket came shredded. I found it to be delicious. Fatty but still full of plenty of muscle. Smokey but not too much so. The seasoning on their meats here lean towards the peppery side. I enjoyed it. Their ribs were very tender as well. Not so much falling off the bone but super soft and melt in the mouth type. The shredded chicken sandwich was superb. Had coleslaw and pickles and piled high with meat. The chicken was juicy and almost had a fried chicken flavor. Overall I enjoyed my experience here. The guy at the counter was super friendly and welcoming. Food was delicious. My fiancee even enjoyed her shredded sandwich and sides. These guys are servicing up some serious BBQ. They're smoking the hell out of their meats and getting a great cook on each meat I tried. read more

Wanted BBQ and my go to place was closed. Stopped in here because I had tried it before and it was good. There was a line nearly back to the door but I decided to get in line and wait. It took about 20 minutes to get to the order taker. He was upbeat and pleasant. I ordered the Brisket Platter to go and requested the fattiest pieces of brisket with sides of baked beans and potato salad. He said I was his favorite customer for asking for the fattiest part of the brisket because that is where the flavor is! Customers seemed to enjoy their food and the overall ambience. The dining area provides a variety of seating options from four tops to cozy nooks or couches as well as outdoor seating. The only downfall for me was that there is only one person taking orders for food and all beverages- including beer on tap. No one was impatient or rude. But I will note that I started in line at 7:18 pm and my meal was handed to me at 8:18 pm. I think that is too long. As for the quality and taste: the brisket was cut in a way to get to the fastest pieces and was smoky and tender. The potato salad was creamy and delicious. The "homemade" baked beans were just that - with pieces of smoked meat throughout the beans. So if you're not in a hurry and would like to try some tasty BBQ, this place may be just what you're looking for. read more

Party of 3 came by for dinner ~6:30pm on a Friday and place was pretty packed. We ordered the pork, brisket, chicken platter along with the tri tip and chicken platter. Both platters came with smoked Gouda mac and potato salad. We really liked the chicken! Juicy and went great with the bbq sauces. Tri tip and brisket were ok, a little on the salty side but it went well with our sides. The potato salad had a nice balance of creamy and varying sizes of potato. We also ordered the rotating hard cider (cherry) which was fruity and crisp and the fieldworks lager. Place is great for any size group. Person who took our order was very enthusiastic, making it exciting to be there. He was generous as well since he comped my cider when he saw my bday on my id. Would definitely come back to try other sides and meats! read more

Ambiance and service are great considering there aren't too many bbq options in Rancho Cordova. I ordered the chicken and tri-tip platter with coleslaw and smoked gouda Mac n cheese and the brisket and ribs platter with potato salad and baked beans for my wife. $60. I was really disappointed with my meal. I had just come off a 4 mile hike around laurel and moot rock beach and was thinking about grilling some chicken when I got back home, but decided to give HH another shot. I was expecting smokey, seasoned, bone-in grilled or smoked chicken since we are talking about a bbq spot. I think the chicken I received was either a boneless/skinless chicken breast or large tenders cut up. The good thing about them was they/it wasnt dry. But it did lack any smokiness other than what was in the sauce the garnished it with and no type of seasoning that I could tell. This may be my bad for not looking more into what they actually offered as far as chicken goes, but I just don't think it is out of the ordinary to expect grilled or smoked bone in chicken at a place that is supposed to be a bbq restaurant. If I received the cut up non bbq'd chicken breast from any other place other than a bbq spot I don't think I would have been as disappointed. If you want a moist chicken cutlet with bbq sauce on top, you will like this after you add some seasoning. The tri tip wasnt bad. I could at least tell it spent some time over fire. It was a little on the dry side but not bad by any means. My favorite thing on my plate was the coleslaw. Sweet crunchy and creamy. The Mac n Cheese was a no go for me. Lots of "liquid" and a few noodles that spent too much time cooking. The serving size was pretty small as well. It fit in the plastic take home cup chipotle gives you for your salsa. I think HH has a good brisket. I would get that again. But I wish they would give the option of fatty or lean or a mix of the two. The ribs are comparable to others I've had in Rancho. Potato salad was really good and beans were good. If I just ordered the chicken and tri tip plate I couldn't give more than two stars bro the service was good and I like the ambiance. read more

Went in when they opened on a Sunday right at noon. First time there so we looked at the menu and ordered. Food came out in a timely fashion. All of the food was delicious and several people came by to check on us and make sure everything was good. I really enjoyed the lunch. I truly do not understand all the jerks that make bad reviews on here over stupid little things, though. They would probably complain if they found a half full bag of money. read more

Drove by and this spot totally caught my eye with all the bright lights and the big "Grand Opening" sign, so I had to check it out. I'm a big fan of smoked BBQ and was excited to see another place pop up around here. I placed a pickup order through DoorDash around 4:56 PM, and it said it would be ready in about 50 minutes or so. No biggie since I had a few errands to run anyway. When I pulled in, the parking lot was pretty cramped and tight to get around. The app said my order would be ready at 5:52, which worked out perfect, but when I went in, they told me it'd be another 10 minutes... so back to the car I went. I kept checking the app and noticed the pickup time kept getting pushed back every few minutes, which got kinda annoying. Finally around 6:10pm, I went in again and thankfully it was ready. The place itself looks great though. It's super bright, big open space, nice setup, and they've got outdoor seating too. I ordered the Hangry Family Sampler which comes with tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork, and chicken, plus three sides. Honestly, the meat was just okay. The tri-tip and brisket weren't as juicy or tender as I expected. The chicken was chopped up into small little pieces and had BBQ sauce drizzled on it, and the pulled pork was a bit dry. For sides I got Caesar salad, potato salad, and mac & cheese. The salad was your basic salad, the potato salad wasn't bad, but the mac & cheese was definitely the star. It was super creamy with a little chili kick that made it really good. I can see why people like this place; it's got a cool vibe and plenty of space to hang out with friends. But for me, the food didn't really wow me, so it's probably not somewhere I'd crave or rush back to. read more

October 3, 2025 - Rancho Cordova, CA This is my first time here since the owners transitioned from Drink EEZY wines to the Hangry Herd barbecue. We ordered the tri-tip and chicken combo with chipotle coleslaw and smoked gouda mac and cheese ($24). Both meats were tender and flavorful -- nicely cooked and seasoned just right. The chipotle coleslaw had a good balance of spice and crunch, and paired well with the meats. The smoked gouda mac and cheese was rich and creamy, though it had a bit more barbecue flavor than I would have preferred -- it slightly overpowered the cheese. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. We will be back to try some of the other barbecue menu items. I think this will be a place to get delicious take-out to share with friends when we are not in the mood to cook. read more

We loved it. The rubs were moist and the naked beans are BoMB! Great portions. We would definitely recommend !

Overall, just okay. Came here on a Friday right at 5. A handful of people were dining in, but what stood out was the steady stream of folks picking up takeout. That gave me hope it was going to be some legit BBQ. Service was quick. Ordered at the counter, grabbed beers, and the food hit the table within minutes. First impression, portions on the meats felt a little small. Everything came drizzled with sauce on top, which can be a hit or miss depending on what you like. Sides - Mac & cheese was creamy and smooth, solid side. - Potato salad leaned too salty. - Caesar salad was crisp and fresh. - Pickles were way saltier than expected. BBQ - Brisket came out lukewarm, which was disappointing. Texture-wise it was soft and tender, easy to cut through, and not overly fatty. Flavor was mild... I wanted more of that smoky punch. - Ribs were recommended to us, but they didn't deliver. Also lukewarm. The meat did fall off the bone, but not in that juicy, smoky way you hope for. It was a bit more fatty with a lot of cartilage, which made it less enjoyable bite after bite. For Rancho, it's not the worst BBQ, but I'd definitely drive further for a better fix. read more

After hearing buzz about the restaurant and seeing ads on social media, we went there for dinner tonight. They were very busy and out of some items, but the tri-tip sandwiches were excellent, as were the baked beans. The smoked gouda mac and cheese, not so much. The mac and cheese was very bland and watery, and the recipe should be reworked. Service was good. We definitely plan on going back. Some advice: the person working the register was an older man (the owner?). I ordered a beer and then watched in horror as he poured, stopped, spooned off the excess foam, and poured some more. He did this at least four times, and, as a former restaurant manager, I cringed each time. That's profit going down the drain, and I would have counseled and retrained any of my staff if I caught them doing that. There are YouTube videos you can watch that show the proper way to pour a beer. Profit margins are tough in the restaurant industry, and anything you can do to minimize waste will help. Overall, it was a good visit, and we plan to come back and recommend it to others. read more

The Hangry Herd brings the smoke and the vibe, and it mostly delivers. The meats were good. Brisket had a nice bark with that solid smoky flavor, and the pulled pork came through tender and satisfying. It all eats easy and hits the BBQ craving. Sauces give you range, original for classic, hickory for that deeper smoke, and sweet & bold when you want a little extra kick. Play around, it works. Sides round things out. Beans and slaw do their job, and while the potato salad wasn't my favorite, it still fits the plate without dragging it down. The space hits, industrial, laid-back, easy to hang and enjoy the meal. 4 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex read more

I gave them grace for soft opening. But I came back today and no. Food - taste excellent Price - absolutely not. There was even less food this time around And ambiance - it's football Sunday. But they aren't watching football here. For a bbq and beer place to not feature sports is bizarre. I cannot recommend for that price $25 Edit. After posting about my experiences. I was shown threads on Nextdoor of the owner Brett Bayda arguing with a customer over their review and being outright nasty. Sorry. That's highly unprofessional and shows a lack of understanding why customer service matters. You don't argue with customers unless it's a volatile situation where they are threatening staff where you remove them. Take the high road with online reviews. Won't be back ever. read more

Don't get me wrong I like my chain restaurants and franchises, but local restaurants play an important role in helping maintain a balanced ecosystem of offerings for a community and the Hangry Herd is a welcome addition to said ecosystem. Rancho doesn't have a lot of variety in the barbecue space so I was glad to see a place offering up delicious brisket and tri-tip. It's a nice brewery-ish vibe and ordering and getting our food was a breeze. I'm not sure why but most barbecue joints have a complicated system for ordering but I had no issues here which was a welcome change. All this would be irrelevant to be honest if the food wasn't a hit and I'm happy to report that everything was delicious. The mac and cheese stood out to me because of the smoky flavor. The tri had great texture and the brisket had great fat and flavor. Also the pina colada sour on tap was one of the most unique sours I've had. It tasted like a sour almond joy. Everything was delicious and I'll be back for more. read more
