🔥 We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with renowned pitmaster Matt Horn to bring Horn Barbecue to Elk Grove! Follow for more updates.

“This partnership was built on faith—faith in the craft, in the community, and in each other,” said Matt Horn. “Elk Grove deserves more than great barbecue. It deserves a gathering place that fosters connection and belonging. Together, Michael and I are creating that destination.”

Horn Barbecue Elk Grove promises an elevated experience with a full bar, live music, and appearances from some of the nation’s most celebrated pitmasters and chefs. Guests can expect the hallmark flavors that earned Horn Barbecue accolades like a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a James Beard Award nomination, and features in Forbes, The New York Times, and Esquire.

This expansion builds on Horn Barbecue’s recent success in Lafayette. “Lafayette embraced us with open arms,” said Horn. “Now we’re bringing that same energy, quality, and connection to Elk Grove—a community that deserves nothing less.”

Set to open in late February, Horn Barbecue Elk Grove will honor the legacy of Slow & Low while introducing world-class West Coast-style barbecue to the area. Additional details on the menu, guest chefs, and grand opening festivities will follow in the weeks ahead.

Sacramento,

With a heavy heart, we announce that Beast + Bounty will permanently close its doors as of January 1st. Despite years of financial challenges and a sincere effort to renegotiate our lease, we have reached an amicable agreement to part ways with Heller Pacific.

When we opened in 2017, it was with the dream of bringing Michelin-caliber quality to a neighborhood restaurant. We poured our hearts, souls, and resources into this endeavor. The response from the Sacramento community has been nothing short of extraordinary, culminating in our inclusion in the Michelin Guide—a recognition we’ll always cherish.

In these past few months, we experienced some of the best services in our history. Under new kitchen leadership and with a front-of-house team that fully embraced the vision, magic was brought to life in our beautiful space. Their passion and dedication have made us immensely proud. Hearing your compliments and receiving glowing reviews recently has been bittersweet, knowing we could not make the economics work in the end.

To say we’re heartbroken is an understatement. Restaurants become like children, and Beast + Bounty was the one that demanded the most attention—a labor of love that made its triumphs all the sweeter. The restaurant industry is relentless, especially for those who pour their hearts into it. The razor-thin margins, mental and physical toll, and unwavering passion required are immense. This is, without question, the hardest decision we’ve ever had to make.

To our fellow restaurateurs, where there was once competition, there is now deep admiration. We stand in awe of those who continue to operate at a high level and serve their communities with excellence.

This may be the end of an era for Beast + Bounty, but it marks the beginning of a new chapter. We remain grateful for every guest who walked through our doors, every memory made, and every opportunity to bring our vision to life here in Sacramento.

We look forward to continuing to serve you at LowBrau and are thrilled to share that we will soon announce an exciting new concept coming to the area. While nothing can replace Beast + Bounty, we’re eager to embrace what’s next.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

With gratitude,
The Beast + Bounty Family
