Big Reds California BBQ

If you want some great BBQ this is the place you’ve been looking for. Great customer service I loved the BiG Red BBQ sauce going to buy a bottle today. You also get a bang for the buck lots of food

Was a bit dry. Had pulled pork (wish was smokier) and ribs (seemed a tad old and not "glistening"). I was excited to try sauces but were more tangy if you like it that way. I'm a bit more of a sweet tooth. It's a pricey for what I got. $20 for 2 proteins. Ribs extra $2. Good to see. More variety in Oroville. Might give them another shot maybe on weekend to see if food rotates faster and possibly fresher out of the smoker...

Really good bbq ribs. I found I didn't need any sauce on them. They are working on having brisket and burnt ends in the future. Looking forward to this. The baked mac & cheese was good though the center was cold. Still very tasty.

I love the base of this place, however there is room for improvement. The service was excellent along with the Elote. I could tell the people working there really cared about making good food. However, my Mac and cheese was cold in the middle, and the sauce lacked in flavor. It's amazing they have mushrooms as an option to eat over meat! I loved the mushroom, however I wasn't crazy about the sauce. Give it a try!

Big Reds,
Over all great experience. Good food, great staff, and captivating artwork on the walls. I ordered the pork belly BLT and potato wedges. At first glance I was impressed with the presentation, and it being delivered to me by the chef and creator of the menu was a nice touch. I took individual bites out of every layer of the BLT. I wanted an understanding of what kind of food was offered here. Each ingredient is well made and full of flavor. The breads inner cheese crust, the pickled red onions, the bacon, and of course the pork belly. It is uncommon for me to taste a dry rub and want to have it for myself. This rub is something special I applaud not drowning the dry rub with wet sauce before I have a chance to try it. I am glad I had an option to not add BBQ sauce to my meal. However once I ate the sandwich as a whole the great flavors of the dry rub was overpowered by the picked onions and strong flavoring from what accompanied my pork belly between my buns. The in house BBQ sauces are good I like having an option of what flavors to add to my meal. I think a traditional BBQ sauce should make an appearance soon I could see how some would want a more traditional BBQ. The meal was filling but also light I will return to work satisfied but not overly full. The price for the BLT was a bit higher than I would have expected. But due to the quick service and wonderful food, the price will not deter me from visiting Big Reds BBQ in the near future.
