Baba’s BBQ — Restaurant in Citrus Heights

I’m originally from the Bay Area but was in Citrus Heights visiting family. A friend and I wanted to grab a solid burger before heading down to the river in Auburn, so we checked Yelp and found Baba’s BBQ.

When we pulled up, we honestly thought it might be closed since the inside is small with limited seating. Luckily, we noticed a few tables outside and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did.

I ordered the brisket tacos with a side of fries, plus the lemonade. Everything is made from scratch—from the sauces to the lemonade—and you can taste the love in it—Baba even said "it's all made with love!" The fries were some of the best seasoned fries I’ve ever had, and the sauces? Next level.

This place is ridiculously good. If you’re local, it’s perfect for pickup or delivery, but I’d suggest stopping by at least once just to meet Baba in person. Easily one of the best lunch spots in the area, and I hope to see him grow into a bigger spot because he...

Awesome place, first time here on my way back from work. I've always passed the restaurant every morning on my way to work and their signs have always intrigued me.

Would highly recommend, definitely a hole in a wall type of restaurant!

P.S. their fries are so delicious, I've never had fries like this before and I...

All I can is wow.

My three friends and I stumbled upon Baba’s BBQ on Google while we were looking for somewhere new to eat. We took one look at the menu and knew this is where we had to go. We got there and shared two tri tip sandwiches, mac salad, and loaded fries. The tri tip sandwiches were actually so incredible, it had my favorite type of sandwich bread. It also had the perfect amount of meat, sauce, onions, and cheese. I’m still thinking about it. The fries were so fire although it was missing a couple of ingredients because of stock shortage. 10/10 would go again. Thank you Baba, you were so kind. We...
