Sauced BBQ & Spirits - Orange

Great Vibe, Amazing Customer Service as soon as my fiance and I entered the restaurant, we were happily greeted and seated quickly. Our server Jaun was exceptional! Thanks Juan!Most well cooked Southern Food I've probably ever had. We ordered the 3 meats combo. The most delicious rotisserie chicken ever! Great Sides. We even purchased a Togo BBQ sauce since the spicy one was so yummy! I'd like to come back again to try their burgers!!

The place is clean and the staff is friendly. There ends the positives for me personally. All the meats are dry and although the ribs at least are tender I feel the flavor lacking. Normally that can be remedied by BBQ sauce but I found myself not a fan of any of the sauces available. If you're a BBQ fan and haven't tried it then I'd say go and form your own opinion but I've tried it twice from two separate locations and will not be going back for a third.

I've had Sauced for the first time several years ago when they had first opened up but totally forgot to write a review then. I went a little more recently a few months ago for a work outing so thankfully I can write a more detailed review with a very recent visit!Here's what I tried:**Sauced Paloma: Solid paloma with a salted rim. I love how they go heavy on the rim instead of just one side like other places. (5/5)**Watermelon Margarita: Opted to go with a tajin rim this time and jalapeno for an extra kick of spice. Not a big fan because the margarita portion was very weak and was overpowered by a strong artificial watermelon flavor. (2/5)**Pig Ol' Bitties: A solid blonde ale. A must try if you want to enjoy a nice crisp beer with your meal. (5/5)**Deuce Pigalow: I don't drink IPAs often but when I do, it's with heavy food like BBQ. You can definitely taste the tropical notes and it was also very refreshing. (5/5)**Cauliflower Bits: Half of our group were meat eaters but I'm glad I sat on the side where people actually ate vegetables. Opted to go with their buffalo sauce and it was delicious. It's really hard to go wrong with cauliflower and they nailed it. (5/5)**Bumpkins: A nice take on bbq infused egg rolls. I personally wasn't the biggest fan but it's a great dish to share for the table. (3.5/5)**3 Meat Combo Plate: For my meats, I ordered their smoked jalapeno cheddar sausage, sliced brisket, and brisket burnt ends. The meats were all solid and very delicious. For my sides, I went with their country style green beans and potato salad. The potato salad was decent but the green beans were just meh. (4/5)Afterwards, we signed up for axe throwing. I haven't personally gone axe throwing before but this spot has a much smaller range which calls for a shorter range of motion. Our instructor was super friendly and very informative. I had one little adjustment and I was throwing bullseyes in no time.Overall, all the staff we interacted with were all great! There was one guy going around getting our drink orders in fairly quickly which was nice. Later on, we had what seemed like a manager going around helping us out as well.This was my first time having BBQ after a recent Texas trip and of course it's not as good but this spot is pretty solid if you're looking for an above average joint in Southern California.

FINAL REVIEW FOR 2024! :) It's that time again: Hubbers' crew's annual holiday meet! Party of 19 (7 kids included) trickled in one group at a time close to the reservation time. Our table was good and ready for us, menus and utensils included. After a bit of chit-chat, we all finally got the chance to look at this extensive menu. It took awhile for me to decide, but when Hubbers mentioned he was going for the 3 meat combo, I knew what I'd end up with: something NOT in his combo. So! He went for the ribs, brisket and pork belly burnt ends (sides of loaded mash, chili and cornbread.) And that's how I ended up with a tri-tip plate (side of Texas toast and chili cheese fries.)I also got the cucumber watermelon lemonade to wash it down. The board said it came with vodka, but I didn't taste that at all. They were very skimpy with the liquor. I eventually switched to a hef. Tri-tip was phenomenal. The order came with three generously sized pieces, prepped and served as I like it: medium to almost medium rare. Under seasoned but that worked out well since I got to try some of the BBQ sauces on the table. Texas toast was done perfect, buttered and all. This might be the first time I have waffle fries with chili and cheese. Fries were great, same with the chili but the brisket mixed in was incredibly dry! Each-bite-made-me-thirsty kinda dry. After a couple of bites, I set most of the meat aside and settled for the cheese and chili sauce. I had a taste of Hubbers' plate: brisket was the driest I've ever had (they prolly used the same ones for the chili), ribs were above par and the burnt pork belly ends were... meh. Those bites were non repeats there for me. Hubbers liked them all, so all good. Loaded mash was great, though! Tons of flavor there. Cornbread was moist and tasty. FOOD: 3.25 (4 for mine, 2.5 for the ones I tried on Hubbers' plate.) SERVICE: 4.5. One of our servers, Mikey, was stellar. He and his colleague (didn't catch his name) were great at making sure our huge party had everything we needed in the duration we were there. VALUE: 2.5. A bit pricey for what you get. PARKING: Shared lots with many others. Not an issue on a Sunday night. OVERALL: 3.5. (Really, the service was the saving grace here.) They have another one of these places closer to home. I might try it just to compare. A follow up trip here might be awhile, if at all...

My friends and I went for Sippin' Santa pop up for holiday themed beverages and fun cups. The restaurant was lightly decorated for the holiday not fully decked out like we had expected based on advertising for the event. I ordered the Santa Mai tai and it was not like any mai tai I had ever had before. After I left I questioned if they forgot to put the rum in it. As far as the Santa tiki aspect not sure why a BBQ joint would host a tiki event. Our server was not around much. Not sure if she was the only server but we were always looking for her when we needed her. When we asked about the axe throwing they offer there her first response was it's kinda pricey, if you do it. Only do 30 minutes because after that you'll be over it. She didn't seem to enjoy her job. I ordered the burnt ends pork belly with garlic mash and roasted garlic green beans. The pork belly was over cooked and tough. The garlic mash and green beans were fantastic. I shared some of the brussel sprouts with a friend and they were also fantastic. The overall consensus was that none of us would return here if craving BBQ. Out of a group of 8 no one was raving over the BBQ they had. Overall I left disappointed in the whole experience. Especially for the price tag.

One of my go to spots! They have an extremely wide variety of options for you to choose from hence it's perfect to bring large groups in! I've been here a handful of times and I've always had an extremely pleasant visit. The first time I went was w a group of friends because we saw they had axe throwing on an instagram video and figured it would be a fun new thing to try! Michael was our axe coach and explained everything very quickly but still in great detail! After we sighed the forms we were good to go! Even after he offered to take a pic for my group of friends and I which was very kind and appreciated! I recently came back for dinner and he was also my server as well! He answered all of our questions and gave us great recommendations after asking us what kind of food we usually enjoy. One of the things the stood out to me was their corn chowder soup! it was so delicious and made to perfection. As for their seating there's many different seating options which is always nice! They even have heated seating and a fire pit which adds to the perfect cozy dinner vibe! Their bar was also super well kept and huge! Overall sauced will always be one of my go to places!!

Went here for the first time and ordered some smoked wings and pulled pork. I also got some veggies and mac and cheese as sides and the mac and cheese was my favorite. I liked the atmosphere of the place, family friendly and lively and you can also do some axe throwing! I came here before the ducks game and it was a 1.5 hour wait for a table but the cocktail tables were first come first serve. Great service too our waitress was friendly and never kept us waiting. Overall, I liked it, I'd come again and order some more delicious bbq!

What a welcoming location! Ample parking and seating for small or larger groups! Love the options of bar seating, high top tables or low top seating. Our server was Michael and he was very attentive to our needs. He gave great food recommendations which we followed for our first time to this location. The menu has great selections, so many side dishes to complete with your BBQ's. The meat was falling off the bones! So good. Nice selection of dipping sauces at the table. Love that they give the options of flats or drums for your wings. I'm a flat all the way! Make sure you save room for dessert.... You can't go wrong with the banana pudding and add the sweet tea!!! Such a refreshing drink for a hot day. After eating make time for the axe throwing! It was a fun experience! Extra plus kudos for the clean restrooms! This place is awesome!!!

We love this bbq spot, and we've come back several times for swamp fries, burnt ends, Mac and cheese, and a solid beer after a round of golf or on a weekend. The service is always good and there's usually no wait to be seated unless you're there for a weekend/peak dinner situation.

This place is pretty legit. Came in with a couple buddies at opening on a Saturday. All the TVs were going and the place already had a good vibe to it, even though it was empty. All three of us thought the food was legit and on point with the flavors. The bartender was super friendly and kept the conversation going with us, and she gave us some good insights to the area as well. Overall, it was a great experience and definitely would wanna come back when it was a little more popping, butdefinitely started the day off right with some day drinking there.
