    Food comes out fast and is always good but overall service seems a bit lacking. Seems one more person in the front of the house would help out greatly.

    We got out appetizer after the meal - drinks ordered from the bar arrived after we got all of our food, and had to ask server about them. And to top it all off, we never got the cornbread we ordered with said meal. Never have had an issue, but this vist left my party puzzled.

    We were there the night of a concert. The place was packed but our service was beyond amazing. Our server was patient as we were a large group. She made us feel as though we were important to her. I e come here several times but this time will standout in my mind for future recommendations.

    The food was OK, but definitely not worth the high price. The service was terrible and extremely slow took over 20 minutes just to get our drinks. I definitely recommend trying someplace else as this was not anything to write home about other than the extremely high price and slow service.

    Thank you! We were in from out of town and decided to get our least time conscious friends together to meet up for dinner. They were almost 2 hrs late but our waiter was super chill and made sure those of us waiting had plenty to eat and drink and treated our super late friends as if they were just another table. We had a fun night before heading back home and the flexibility, friendliness and patience of our waiter definitely helped!! I don't remember his name but I hope you are able to look it up and give him the kudos he deserves.

    Minnarow was our server and he went above and beyond!! My son's 18th birthday dinner. I was sure something was guaranteed to go wrong. Cold food, server not attentive etc. HOWEVER, I watched a server handle 6 tables (each had a minimum of 6 people. We were a party of 15), he handled all 6 tables with a smile and great customer service. I watched each table he went to because I was trying to tell him to take his time, our table was talking amongst each other and was nowhere near ready to order. Outstanding job!!! I hope my gratitude was reflected in his tip (pretty sure it was). I would recommend Sacramento DOCO Sauced to all looking for good food, great drinks and awesome customer service!!

    I would recommend take out over dining in. Our reservations were for 4:45, we didn't get our food until 7pm. Chairs were incredibly uncomfortable to sit on for that long. The waiter did keep apologizing once our food did come and we were comped for the wait, but the service was mediocre. We had to share utensils and no one asked if I wanted another drink until towards the end. The food was very good though. That's why I would recommend take out.

    No major complaints. They might have been under staffed this day as there were quite a few tables around us that weren’t bused our entire meal. But our overall service was good and the food was delicious. The grits are some of the best I’ve had. Definitely will be back.

    It was an early lunch on a Sunday and we were one of only a few tables. By the time we left, it was busy. Our server was great, explained the menu and answered our questions. Everything came out hot & as ordered.. Friend from the south loved their sweet tea & I enjoyed the plain tea.

    Our server Bryan was awesome, and took great care of us, and made great suggestions. I was not a big fan of the mac and cheese and the slaw. Mac and cheese was too mushy, and slaw needed more dressing with flavor.

    Worst experience ever as being there for the first time. Came to eat “good” food and play Axe throwing with relatives from outside of town. First expression seamed great, until we were told that there is no Axe no more, okay no worries. Maybe we can just stay back and give the food a try since we drove all the way there. Its 8:30pm, We are hungry, lets eat! Should have just walked out at the first opportunity. Service was bad. Our waiter barely came over to assist us the entire time we were there. We were a party of 8, ordered simple food. Took over TWO HOURS for our food and drinks in total to come out. Turkey sandwich, burgers and brisket chili fries. Absolutely disgusting flavorless food ever. Chili fries had ZERO brisket and only Canned tomato chili with EXTRA large nasty tomatoes and for almost $20. Waste of money. Ate literally 4 fries that were not coated in the nasty “chili”. Was asked for no bacon on Turkey sandwich, came with extra bacon, and nasty turkey meat. Didn’t even bother taking a second bite of it. Burgers were all brought cold. Also ordered the buffalo chicken mac, COLD. Barely any chicken. For the price that they are placing these items and for the quality of it are an absolute disgrace and RIP off. In total we were there for almost 3 HOURS. It took us 5 min to eat and dislike it at the first bites. I told the waiter about our food and he said why didn’t you tell me before you ate half of it. IM SORRY, HALF!? I ate 4 flippin fries because i was STARVING waiting for my dam food to come and on top of that it was IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of our waiter because he was no where to be found at times and ignored us everytime i tried to wave at him to come to our table. And he gave bad attitude when I explained the food situation, but was so appreciative when i was paying and left a 15% tip. Pft. Take your money and company elsewhere. There were other people there that complained and left because of the wait and horrible customer service.
