Big Vics BBQ - Turlock (CA)

4 /5 June: I found this spot while heading to a funeral today and it didnt miss a beat on flavor and the smokiness. The folks at the counter extremly kind and patient. The potato salad reminded me of how my family makes it so double thumbs up! I ordered tri-tip and brisket and it didnt disappoint. The bbq sauce was a nice compliment to the smokiness of the meat. Thank you Big Vic!

1 /5 Harold Wofford: I had to edit from my last review. This place will not give you what you want. They think they are so good that you have to buy what they want you to have. They have a 3 meat plate, if you want 2 brisket and a sausage well too bad. You cant have it. Avoid this place like the plague, I have never been so upset driving that far just to be told I cant order what I want. Customer service is trash now. Again you cannot order what you want. Im still in shock. Pictures are from earlier post, food looks good, and yes you used to get what you wanted, but not anymore, even if you want to pay extra. Maybe after enough loyal customers quit coming and they lose enough they will change their minds and get back to treating customers right.

5 /5 Miguel Avila: Some of the best bbq in the 209. I would recommend this place. Great food , great music and awesome customer service. The owner is very friendly and greets his guests. The smash burgers are some of the best burgers I’ve had. They only serve on Fridays til sell out. Trust me these burgers sell out fast. They’re made with brisket.

5 /5 Kelly Bean: The food here is the best BBQ I have found in CA and is on the level of good, Southern BBQ. We got a 2 and 3 meat plate. The flavor is amazing and the portions are generous. Plenty of parking behind the building. If you are reading this and thinking about grabbing a bite here you dont need to read any further, go eat!

5 /5 Marcus Hinojoz: The brisket was incredibly flavorful. It was juicy and tender as hell. The ribs were fall off the bone and had great flavor even on their own. When paired with their BBQ sauce, which has a unique peppery, smoky, vinegar-forward taste, it cut through the richness of the brisket perfectly and added another layer of flavor. The mac and cheese was really good. You can tell butter is used, and the cheeses were flavorful and well balanced. The chipotle beans were decent overall, but I felt neutral about them. Shoutout to Mike for being awesome. I didn’t check the closing time and he was already cleaning up, but he called me while I was right around the corner and still took care of me. I will absolutely be back to try more of their menu.
