    We’ve gone here for years but not in a while. Food is no where near what it used to be.

    When I got home tonight I told my wife that’s the last time I’m going to Sauced. The bbq is well below average made by people who don’t care. The smoked food I ordered was mostly dry and chewy. The three meat plate was $45. Anywhere in Texas the same order is $25-30 and way better quality. I know that is because Walnut Creek real estate is ridiculous but it doesn’t excuse the bad food. There were highlites for sure but the final straw was “we don’t split checks” our bill was over $600 for a large party and a tip of $100. I wanted it split once. SPLIT THE DANG CHECK! Like I said in the end I won’t be back. I’ll get my BBQ in Austin and skip the creek.

    Very delicious, tender and well cooked BBQ, however the meats are served lukewarm. Could be improved if the meats were served warmer. Server (Faith) provided great service. She was attentive and was prompt with our requests. The restaurant had plenty of TVs with sports playing all the time.

    Service was slow. Pulled pork and ribs were just okay, not fall-off-the-bone but fine. Bottles of sauce at the table were needed to add moisture and flavor. Loaded baked potatoes were hollowed-out and filled with garlic masked potatoes. Asked for a regular baked and they said they were out. A BBQ joint out of baked potatoes? After dropping off the check they never came back and had to pay on the phone by a QR code.

    We needed to eat fairly quickly as we had theater tickets. Staff and the waitress were very accommodating and we were all very appreciative. The noise level made it very difficult for the 5 us to have a conversation. The food was good and plentiful. Not over the top but met our needs.

    I asked for the "Fatty" brisket and I got "DRY" brisket. The waitress disappeared so I could not say anything. Prices were very high for the portions they served. Atmosphere was good; too bad the food and service weren't.
