For years, I've been whining about how there's no good "BBQ" joints in the Sacramento area, and by "good" I mean: affordable, delicious, and authentic. Why then, did nobody tell me about Urban Roots? I stumbled upon it quite by accident, and immediately fell in love with the vibe. The setting is a perfect paradoxical marriage of humble, modern, rustic, chic. At the core of the restaurant is the feeling that this is a communal experience, with giant shared table space and a cozy patio with plenty of seating. Large groups of friends laughed and delighted while they chowed down on their grub, and even though I dined alone tonight, I felt connected to the crowd. Which brings me to the food...there was much I wanted to try. I had to narrow it down, so I selected the pork belly burnt ends and some brisket. In addition to being a certified KCBS barbeque judge, these are dishes I occasionally smoke at home for my family, so I consider my standards to be high. Don't tell my family, but Urban Roots blew my own BBQ out of the water! Everything was cooked to tender perfection, kissed with all the right smoke and seasonings. And while certainly not an inexpensive venture, I feel that they definitely have the food priced right for the value (quantity + deliciousness). Urban Roots, you have won me over. I will return (with my family), and more importantly, I guess I have to stop whining about the lack of great BBQ in the area!

Best place in midtown for the highest quality beer and exceptional BBQ. Great for groups, everyone who works here is very cool and helpful and the whole layout and thing here just plain works right.

Great place for beer and bbq in sac. Everything here is delicious and the vibe is super chill. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because the portions are a bit small.

Urban Roots is our favorite brewery in Sacramento. First and foremost, the beers are consistently top notch. We've been coming here for 5 years and definitely have our favorites (Luna De Miel Mexican lager is #1), but you really can't go wrong ordering any of the house brews. The draft list is expansive, covering the most popular trends, but also often including complex malty beers and other styles often omitted by other small breweries. Stick around for some great BBQ! We love the smoked turkey and have frequently taken home a half pound for sandwiches. "Make it a meal" for a fantastic lunch on the patio w/ pickles, salad, cornbread and your choice of side. We go crazy for the collared greens. The crew working here is so friendly and upbeat. Ask for suggestions & current house favorites... the team always seems happy to help. We no longer live locally, but do our best to make it to Urban Roots whenever we visit or pass through the area. If we are short on time we'll still stop for some beer to-go. This stuff is the best around town. Cheers!

Stumbled across this spot while in Sacramento last month and it was a great find. Urban Roots features a large selection of beers/cocktails and their smoked meats hit the spot. My favorite were the wings!! Great spot for date night/day or friends get together, also family friendly too so truly anyone can enjoy it. Large venue, ample seating indoors as well as outdoors (heated lamps for the colder months) and offering live music on the weekends.

When a friend told me that she was starting a new job, I immediately sent her a list of possible restaurants for us to celebrate this achievement. To my delight, she selected Urban Roots Brewing and Smokehouse...a restaurant that I have had bookmarked on Yelp for quite some time. Being that Christmas is near, the restaurant was packed with what looked like colleagues having a holiday party accompanied by good food and brews. I ordered the half portion Pork Belly Burnt Ends (so freakin delicious) meal with fries and cornbread (it's carb-loading season). To quench my thirst, I ordered the refreshing Blend In: Tropical ale (I'm not a fan of beer but found this to be quite satisfying). If you're a beer fan, they have a diverse selection. The staff here are very personable and friendly. Towards the end of our visit, who I believe to be either a supervisor or co-owner, retrieved our empty glasses and politely inquired about our dining experience (i.e., satisfaction with the food and drinks). His approach led me to believe that this business truly values the feedback of their customers, which is one of the indications of great management. I look forward to making a return visit in the near future!

Ordered the sampler menu: Brisket was fantastic , highly recommend the fattier pieces of meat. Nicely flavored, smoky, and goes well with a little sauce The pork belly was tasty, but just too fatty in my opinion. There was barely any meat, mostly just fat. The mac and cheese is good, but really needs to be eaten quickly-- gets a little oily and heavy. After it cools off, it's not as great. The onion rings were solid Apple walnut salad was nice and refreshing, the fried quinoa was a nicely added touch. the pickle was a bit tough and not crisp. The flavor was there, but just not the bite I would have wanted to contrast the smoked and tender meat. Wings were huge portions, very tasty and not too dry. However, I did like it better with the bbq dipping sauce. It's fun to dip into the options of sauces. Great place for group hangouts, lively, but not too crowded. You can still hear one another speaking. Food comes out pretty quickly.
