Sourdough and Company is a chain of around the size of 40-something sandwich shops located in central California and the Bay Area. The restaurants are known for their freshly baked in-house sourdough bread, their soup of the day, along with their wide array of sandwiches. The Rocklin location just happened to be my latest Sourdough and Company into the sourdough experience and Gold Country Dining. As with all restaurant reviews I publish, I have no affiliation with the restaurant reviewed, and there is no monetary gain on my part, as I am simply a person who likes to eat, and I love to write-up, and publish my dining experiences.
Photo: It's just a little past the 10 o'clock in the morning opening time, March 08, 2024 of Sourdough and Company, located on Granite Drive, in Rocklin, CA, and I'm ready to enjoy a early lunch. Texas meets Rocklin as the restaurant offers smoked sliced Texas brisket on their "Specialty" sandwiches. It's a little bit of "Texas" in western Placer County.
Photo: As you enter the restaurant, you'll notice the order counter, where the staff will greet you, and you place your order. The dining room is sparsely and casually seated. The restaurant operates on what I call the "taqueria" format, in that you make your selection from the overhead menu, you pay for your order and in return, you'll receive a "number." You take your "number" and seat at the table of your choice, and when your order is ready, it will be brought to you, and your "number" will be picked up and recycled. On this opening day in early March, I was the only customer in the dining room at the time, so my gracious hostess, Charlotte, knew my name and my "number," so to speak...
Photo: The order counter, as you enter the restaurant. The soft drink cooler is to the left and is stocked with beverages. If you're looking for beer or wine you're out of luck as this restaurant is as dry as many of the counties in Texas and Oklahoma.
Photo: The main menu is posted above the greeting station and offers many choices when it comes to sandwiches.
Photo: The "Specialty Sandwiches" section of the menu... I could not resist the "Smoked Brisket."
Photo: Meet Charlotte, my amazingly friendly hostess who brought my lunch to me with a smile. Amazingly friendly service any way you look at it!
Photo: Thanks Charlotte... I'm a happy guy as I get ready to enjoy lunch at Sourdough and Company, located in Rocklin, CA.

Photo: My "Specialty Smoked Brisket" sandwich, sliced in half, showing all of the goodness. This sandwich was simply delicious, thanks to the skill of the staff and the delicious, freshly baked sourdough bread. Sourdough bread, sliced tomato, onion, barbecue sauce, "house spread" and let's not forget... a generous helping of sliced, smoked Texas brisket. Oh my!
Photo: From the "Specialty Sandwiches" section of the menu, I went with "Smoked Brisket," along with a bowl of chili and slices of sourdough bread on the side. Such an amazing lunch! Six-inch sourdough sandwich along with a 12-oz bowl of chili made for a very satisfying lunch in every way. My delicious lunch was based on the delicious in-house-baked sourdough bread the restaurant is famous for, and branched out from there. So... talk about a sourdough bun... freshly baked from the kitchen. Crunchy on the outside, yet tender, sweet and a little bit sour on the inside. Now you're talking about a perfect sourdough roll, the kind that are baked fresh at Sourdough and Company in Rocklin. Add to the fresh, delicious sourdough bread slices of smoked beef brisket. Then... barbecue sauce, coleslaw along with what the restaurant calls "house spread," tomato, Cheddar cheese and onion. Now... you're talking about a sandwich! Did I mention barbecue sauce? The coleslaw clinched the deal, and made the sandwich, as it added a creamy, tangy and delicious angle to this amazing meal. The coleslaw was the "deal breaker..." as it simply elevated the sandwich to amazing heights. Oh my... as one bite into the sandwich was simply ... how can I describe it? ... You combine the crunchy sourdough bread with the smoked brisket, tomato, cole slaw and "house spread" to make for a sandwich that is stand alone delicious for Placer County and the greater Sacramento area. You want a sandwich? Check out Sourdough and Company in Rocklin! How could we ever forget the chili... Lots of chili beans, ground beef, savory broth and simply... delicious! All twelve ounces of it was amazing. Freshly baked sourdough bread worked wonders with the broth. Chili and a sandwich at Sourdough and Company... how can life get better? Sourdough and Company bakes some of the most amazing sourdough bread in the area. Simply delicious! Come for the food, enjoy the friendly service, but stay for the amazing sourdough bread.
