Keith’s Sierra Smoker

Absolutely love these guys!!! We first tried their food when they catered for our best friends wedding and it was such great food we HAD to use them as our wedding caterer. My personal favorite is their Tri-​tip, it’s out of this world amazing, so tender and melts in your mouth, the very best I have ever had! One thing that was most important to us at our wedding was we didn’t want mediocre wedding food, and let me tell you they did not disappoint !!!

Keith’s Sierra Smoker was so great at our wedding! Honestly some of the best BBQ I have ever had and probably the best wedding food I have ever had… maybe I’m partial because it was my wedding but I had guests telling me days later how amazing the food was. Keith and Paul (the owners & master smokers) were great to work with. So friendly and easy going. Other catering companies are just crazy expensive, these guys are so reasonable for the quality and quantity of food they supply. They even wrapped up left over which we enjoyed over the next couple of days. I am looking for an excuse to book them again or find them at an event, craving their food! Best tri-​tip ever! Thanks guys!

!! note !! Folks — don’t try to drive to the Unilocal address shown for the business — They’re a mobile and catering BBQ business.
These guys are Da bomb! Fun, classy, and the moistest mouth-​watering BBQ you’ll likely sink your canines into ‘fer miles around.
We stumbled upon Keith’s Sierra Smoker by accident — we were up at Grandpa’s Cellar in Apple Hill. Had already eaten a disappointingly bland BBQ plate at the Jack Russell Brewery (liked their IPA though!).
The guys at Keith’s were so nice we ended up chatting with em — then we were offered some tasty samples and were blown away by the tenderness, juiciness and flavor! Apparently they marinate their tri-​tip for two days, and it really shows up when it hits your taste buds.
Even though we’d just eaten BBQ for lunch, we decided to order a plate to go. $ 10 got us a container brimming with their apple– and cherry-​wood smoked meats, homemade beans (oh yeah) and macaroni salad. I’m not really a fan of mac salad, but their house made version was light and tasty, with nice crunchy pieces of celery.
Apparently, they’re based in Placerville and they do catering jobs.
So, the south may have lost the war, but Keith’s Sierra Smoker southern style BBQ has won us over!
