    3 meat combo
    R C.

    This was a great meal, we bought the 3 meat combo and brisket sliders, delicious! This was our first time here and staff was very helpful and friendly. Now I love to grill and BBQ, and have had BBQ from Texas to Memphis and Big Vics is top notch. Every meat and side was flavorful, my daughter loved the sliders, but I wouldn't know she didn't share. We will definitely be back again and we'll save room for some of that banana pudding.

    Excellent left overs.

    Lived in Turlock a long time and I'm not sure why it took so long for me to try this place. We had a combo party for my mom's birthday and my birthday and ordered a little of everything. Portions were great and food was amazing. Parking does kinda suck but it's totally worth it. I forgot to take pics of the food before we plated it. But we stopped and grabbed some Texas road house rolls and made sliders. Man they were good. People were friendly too. Will be going back for sure.

    Here is the menu we ordered from.

    Big Vic's BBQ sounded so yummy when we ordered it two nights ago at Dying Breed Brewery. My husband and I started with Brisket Nachos to share, and after being unimpressed with the flavor and minimal toppings, we decided not to order more. Three other friends joined us and two had a Tri-Tip Sandwich and side of Mac-n-Cheese. Neither food item looked that good, and the meat was disproportionately fatty. On the way home, my husband started feeling like he was going to throw up. He ended up being sick all night, while I had intense gut pain; I ate far less. We learned the next day that one friend had become violently ill and was in the ER. After ruling out many possibilities, food poisoning was deduced. The second friend also threw up but didn't go to the ER. The third friend did not become ill, as she did not eat the food.

    If you're a BBQ lover, this is your spot. I wasn't sure what to expect walking in, but this place delivered big time. I got the ribs and pulled pork with potato salad and cornbread on the side -- and let me tell you, not a single bite disappointed. The ribs were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of smoke. The pulled pork was tender, juicy, and flavorful without needing extra sauce (though theirs is solid too). The potato salad had a creamy, fresh taste with just enough herbs and crunch. And that cornbread? Golden, moist, with honey drizzle -- total comfort food heaven. Portions were generous, the presentation was rustic and appealing (served on a tray with butcher paper), and everything tasted like it was made with care. Will absolutely be back. This is the kind of BBQ that makes you want to plan your next cheat day around it.

    As you walk in place looks clean! The young girl at the front has no customer service at all! We ordered the tri tip and beef brisket. They were cold. I had to ask to warm it up. Im used to brisket tasting smokey. It has very light smoke flavor. Their Mac n Cheese is dry. The potatoe salad is not tasty. I feel people rave about this place. Been wanting to try it and was so disappointed!

    Happened to be in Turlock and decided to order at Big Vic's BBQ from a friend recommendation. I ordered online using the Big Vic app ( definitely get it) and placed an order for pick up. This is my second visit and had tried the pork ribs and tri tip. This time I decided to get the Pulled Pork and the Brisket with the sides of the Ranch potato salad and Mac and Cheese along with spicy BBQ sauce as a condiment. Let me be frank, when you open your styrofoam container, you get presented with items that's not Instagrammable. The pulled pork was wrapped in a foil (no sauce on it) and same goes with the brisket. I've ordered take out at other BBQ joints that plates it without foil but once you know how it's given for take out at Big Vic's, it's not a big deal. Something I wanted for first time people ordering it to go to be aware. When I finally got home, I plated it myself to make it more presentable when I shared my meal to my friends (refer to pic). Even though it was a 20 min ride to get home, when I finally did dig into my bbq, it wasn't hot temperature wise, so I don't think you get it straight from the bbq pit. It was luke warm on eating. Not a big deal for me but wanted to put out that expectations if you order it for pick up. I have to say though besides the temperature, it was pretty good. The pulled pork with the spicy BBQ was great..: not too hot but a good kick to it. I thought the brisket was good also. I definitely enjoyed my meal and there was plenty left from my 2 meat platter that it can be shared with one other or have leftovers. Overall, one of the better BBQ places in Stanislaus county and one I would go back

    The smash burgerOMG!

    ABSOLUTELY mouth watering meats. The only time ive had better bbq smoked meats is when I smoke it myself. The food is phenomenal. I had the 2 meat meal with ribs and tritip... cooked to perfection the ribs did not need sauce but I had to try their sauce anyway lol I also ordered as sides mac n cheese,and corn bread both excellent an done right. We also ordered a smash burger which had 2 patties some sauce ,pickles cheese and bacon BAMMM! Mind you it was just me and my 15yr old son and we put that food back. We couldn't finish all the food but we gave it our all. Calling all CARNIVORES if youre in the mood for some bbq smoked meats yal gotta give these guys a try. I thought they were a little pricey but after eating there I will be back time an time again. And money will never be a problem if yal serve it up like that!!! Smacking, Slammmin,Bangginn FIRE BABY!!!!Think i got the meat sweats

    Beef rib, wedding roll, mac & cheese and potato salad.

    Updating these reviews because their homemade tortillas are amazing!! Only reason they aren't five star (1) ordering online is rough. They don't update their items. (2) I'll never forgive them for us ordering peanut butter pie a week before my 50th birthday and then letting us know the day before they don't have it. No attempt to make it up to us. But I'm still a loyal customer.

    Ribs beans and I think bbq sauce

    I'm giving them 4 stars I really think it's 3 with room to be 5 but the loaded michelada was so good I have to give it a 4. Get it with Pacifico. The ribs were really good melt in your mouth. If you have a first date where you want to get to Know someone bring them here and eat on the patio it's big and private and comfortable. The guy in the store or two guys are a little too serious and could lighten up other than that this place is great. Most likely I will send my son I. To get more food next time I want some

    The food here is absolutely worth the drive…read more I'm a little late posting this review, but we ordered from here for our Fourth of July celebration, and it was one of the best decisions we made. We traveled from Modesto, and after trying the food, I'd gladly make that trip again. Whether you're planning a special gathering or just looking for a reason to take a quick drive for incredible barbecue, this place is worth it. If you're dining in, the shady outdoor seating is the perfect spot to relax, enjoy your meal, and the welcoming atmosphere. We ordered enough to feed about 15-16 people, and every single person left happy. That's saying a lot because we have some pretty picky eaters in our family! The ribs were tender, smoky, and packed with flavor, while the mac and cheese quickly became the crowd favorite. You can tell there's real care and attention behind every dish...the flavors are bold without being overwhelming, and everything tastes homemade with its own unique touch. The staff was welcoming and friendly from start to finish, making the whole experience even better. Great barbecue has a way of bringing people together, and this meal did exactly that. Between celebrating the holiday and seeing everyone go back for seconds, it made our Fourth of July even more memorable.

    The owner is a really great dude, wonderful service, super nice and slapped together a plate for us…read moreand it was bomb AF Chicken, brisket, beans, rolls, coleslaw, and potato salad.

Whiff of this place to and from Stan State, most definitely worth a try or twelve!

This review has been drafted for a while and as I'm clearing my storage I reflected on our time here & it was memorable. The food was absolutely delicious! I enjoyed my steak, it was cooked to perfection. Mashed potatoes with gravy were amazing, & the sweet potato casserole was a great dessert. Only reason I held back on a 5 was that not everyone in my party had a great experience with their meals. The Mac & Cheese here is not ideal, it's missing some seasoning and more cheese. My hubby's ribs were overcooked but Ivan was quick to check in on us and correct our issues. The day we visited it was extremely packed and despite of that our server Ivan did a fabulous job checking in on us and we observed him helping many other customers all with a calming and friendly demeanor. It is very admirable to see someone maintain their composure when it's visibly chaotic from huge crowds. Great work, next time I'm in the area I will return.

For drinks, I ordered the 1915 Elder Fashioned ($20) and my wife had the Peaches and Dreams ($20). Both cocktails were perfectly crafted and absolutely delicious. We started with the Argentine empanadas served with bone marrow and chimichurri--two good-sized empanadas for $24. Great flavor and a solid way to kick things off. For my entrée, I ordered the hanger steak cooked medium--it came out perfect. It was served with Roth Fries, which might honestly be the best garlic fries I've had in a long time. Fresh garlic, Parmesan, parsley... just done right. The steak was topped with chimichurri and came with two dipping sauces--everything worked. My wife ordered the Kung Pao Street Noodles with grilled prawns ($36), and she loved it. Overall, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and a standout experience. Our waitress, Janet, was amazing--super attentive and helpful. Whenever I asked about dishes I saw coming out, she was more than happy to explain them. We'll definitely be back.
