Belly Barbecue

Belly Barbecue in Folsom is celebrated for its authentic Texas-style barbecue smoked low and slow, spotlighting tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, snappy housemade sausage, and pork belly. Reviewers frequently rave about standout sides like their unique blueberry cornbread and sweet banana pudding. Run with exceptional hospitality by owners Marcus and Katie, this must-visit Sacramento-area smokehouse operates only a few days a week and routinely sells out.

Commenters are generally enthusiastic about the food quality and Texas-style preparation, with many praising the friendly owners and dishes like Brunswick stew. However, opinion is somewhat divided due to high prices, long wait times, and very limited operating hours. While loyal patrons consider it top-tier barbecue worth planning around, some critics argue the steep costs and logistical hurdles are not worth the hassle.
