    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.

    Dry mac n cheese

    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!

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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. Every single item was on point and tasted like a million bucks. If y'all remember Dickies BBQ Spicy Sauce, this is the new place for BBQ, could drink this stuff. Had a nice little bench outside to sit and enjoy the fresh air and fresh food, will definitely be back. Always catching. Whiff of this place to and from Stan State, most definitely worth a try or twelve!

    Best at brisket!…read more This is an order at the window and eat on the patio place. This is perfect Central Valley Charm and top notch service. Nice theme and decor. Come early or you get stuck in the heat. Orrrrr you end up not getting anything. The hours of operation are hard to nail down. Basically show up at 11 or you might not get food. Also days are the end of the week. The Brisket Sandwich - If this was the only thing I ordered this bbq would have been a 7 out of 5 stars. Hands down the best brisket I've ever had. Cowboy Corn - good corn, kinda like elote. I could have eaten it with chips. Needs a little more spice. Corn bread - warm and delicious. We got an edge. Ooohhh ahhhh. A little crisped. Definitely should be served with butter and honey though. Combo - Chicken - good seasoning, better with the sauce. Pulled pork - not salted. Definitely needs sauce when you enjoy. Mac and cheese - muah. Chef kiss. I'm not a big fan of mac and this stuff had me tempted to take it all for myself. Potato salad - excellent flavor good care. Red potatoes. Cooked to perfection. They definitely need to be cut into a little smaller pieces and boiled with a little saltier water. They were large bites that the dressing couldn't get all the way around. BBQ Sauce - I loved it. Thought it was great. With that being said I need to acknowledge it was spicy. My wife was on the edge and I would serve it to the kids. I'll be back!
