Big Vic's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Turlock, California

I've had food from here before, and thought it was quite good. I have always coveted the beef rib, but I thought it was over priced to buy. I treated myself and my father-in-law today for a belated Father's Day gift and bought two bones from them. I am very happy I did. They are delicious, but it is not something I would make a habit out of. I still think $24 a pound is over priced. The people behind the counter are very friendly and helpful. They're on point with their game. You can dine inside with the few tables that they have our dining outside with a few tables that they have. If you're a walk in order it seems like they will have it ready very quickly. read more

First time here. I had the brisket sandwich, brisket beans and banana pudding for dessert. The service was fast and friendly. The food was wonderful. The brisket was so tender and easy to eat, with lots of flavor. The beans...I could just get a large side of them and be happy. Nice pieces of brisket in them. The desert was good too. I usually get pictures but the food looked so good I was halfway done before I remembered. Definitely worth checking out. They mostly have outdoor seating but it's well shaded and they also have misters. I can't wait to go back and try the pulled pork. Next trip I'll get some pictures and update the review. read more

Some of the best BBQ in the area! A great variety of foods, brisket is amazing. Tri-tip, ribs, pulled pork, deserts. All are so good. A bit pricey but worth it. read more

First time here Big Mistake, so noisy with loud unpleasant alternative music you could not hear yourself think. Counter type ordering 2 small tables to eat at inside, employee occupied one of them so where are customers to eat? Outside lots of picnic tables but Hot due to summer in Central Valley. Business did not seem to keep customer in mind for comfortability. Husband who is meat eater did not finish his pulled pork sandwich, why you may wonder, not very good. My sandwich was the tri-tip it was okay. The unpleasant vibe spoiled my appetite. Waisted $40 Bucks, I could have went to the store and bought Jack Daniel's BBQ and ate comfortably in my own home. read more

Got to try out the much anticipated peanut butter pie and it did not disappoint! Also tried pulled pork nachos and my husband loved the tri tip sandwich! We need a Modesto location!! read more

Big Vic's BBQ - Peanut butter pie - Barbeque Near Me - Turlock, California

I heard about this place on a Facebook group I found recently of places to go during this whole Plandemic(I mean Pandemic) thing is going on and had to give it try. What I have read from previous customers was it was exceptional great BBQ, will return back, great brisket, OMG freaking delish, great services and so on. Although I do agree with formal customers, I only agree to a certain extent. Now before I proceed with my honest review keep in mind every person has different opinion and critics differently. Don't throw me on the bbq grill and leave me to burn. Appearance/First impression When one arrives to their location it had a great atmosphere, clean, 2 members managing the front while I believe the owner Vic managing the BBQ grill. The concept is fairly simply to follow, place your order on the left, pay for your order on the right. The menu was hanged on the way with the left menu being for large quantities of meats while the right menu for sandwiches and side dishes. I personally like this concept and what helps them a lot is its simple to follow so you won't get lost in the sauce approach. Menu As I previously mention there are 2 menus they have at Big Vic's. One they sells by lbs of brisket, pulled pork, ribs, tri tip. The other menu has pulled pork sandwich, trip sandwich, pull pork nachos, brisket sandwich, and some side dishes. - I went ahead and went with the brisket sandwich and the tri tip sandwich. The tri tip burger consisted of only the bun meat and the bbq sauce they offer(Which is only one sauce flavor) the brisket sandwich consisted of the bun, pickles, onions, and bbq sauce. To my impression it passes and both meats were flavorful yet the tri tip was actually better in my humble opinion on overall taste. Now, where it could improve I would have to say is on the sesame buns. The brioche sesame seed bun seem to me not on on par with the great taste of the meats. The bun had somewhat no taste and was more of a meat holder only. In other words I should have just bought the meat by them selves if that was the case. If the buns would have been a bit more flavorful I would have enjoyed the sandwich a bit more. By flavorful maybe if it was freshly baked, warm, maybe added some melted butter on top , or even a more doughy consistency it would have been great. Overall I give the tri-tip sandwich 1st place while the brisket second place. I would also put an asterisk next to the 1st place and second place saying " Buns need improvement or buns don't contribute to this standing. Price As far as prices go, don't expect cheap fast food prices. In other words, the big man Vic puts a lot work into his BBQ, and should be accounted for. When it comes to meats individually they charge a fair prices, and when it comes to burgers and I believe nachos they came in at $12 plus tax. Side dishes I don't quite remember prices but there wasn't many options to begin with. $12 plus tax for a small/medium burger seems a bit steep for my personally. Would I come back and pay $12 for a burger again here? Absolutely not. Why? Plain and simple..side dish not included. Now, I do understand bbq joints don't work like that. You pay individually for each thing end of of story. But personally maybe if this place included at most a soft drink or small side of fries then yes the $12 price tag is acknowledged. I just don't agree on the $12 price tag heavily riding on the meat being bbq. Maybe a $8 price would pass and please. Conclusion Big Vic's bbq is what it is. Another bbq joint selling your typical bbq menu findings, at your typically bbq joint prices. From ribs, brisket, pulled pork, to tri tip. I love seeing people rave about new restaurants, let alone love to support local businesses but every business big or small should be equally rated. Yes, the bbq is good, but not OMG delicious. Would I come back? Sorry, but I would much rather fire up the traegar grill and make som bbq myself. Was it memorable? Despite the owner stating it's not consider Texas BBQ but rather California BBQ I would have to say once is okay. Nothing really stood out to me to make me want to want to come back and become a regular. Do you recommend this place? Of course, if you love bbq for you and the family, have at it. If you're looking for an experience or looking for a place to consider your go to bbq then consider weighing your local BBQ options Rating? 3/5 I judged on all components from customer service, cleanliness, food, price, and most importantly on my likeness of coming back 5/5 for me would have to meet all those criteria's and most importantly make me crave their BBQ. Any last words? Give Big Vic's BBQ a shot. Judge for yourself. Enjoy everyone. read more

Big Vic's BBQ - Brisket with all the toppings. - Barbeque Near Me - Turlock, California

Grabbed some takeout for lunch and everything tasted delicious. The size of sandwiches and sides are generous and worth the price. Pulled pork was our favorite! Give them a try! Support local businesses :) read more

I would hardly call this BBQ. There is next to no smoke flavor, seasoning is all wrong, too heavy on the garlic and texture makes it seem as though the majority of the cooking is done in the warmer. I won't waste my money here again. read more

I went to Big Vic's BBQ yesterday to order a Cali platter. The platter is supposed to come with 3/4 ribs, 1/2 tri tip, brisket, pulled pork and chicken leg quarters. First I was told that there was no pulled pork so I asked for brisket. When I came home I realized that not only did they not have pulled pork but they also did not include the tri tip. Instead of the chicken leg quarters they gave me half a chicken. I was undersold but about a pound of meat. On top of that when it came time to pay, the platter is about $70 but the waitress tried to charge me $150. I pointed that that it couldn't be the price and she corrected it. In short I was undersold and they tried to over charge me. I conclusion, do not go to big vics unless you want to get robbed. read more

BIGBEN approved. This is by far the best barbecue I've had in California and the Central Valley period. You can tell when people are passionate and love what they do and the food is delicious. read more

Good solid BBQ place. We enjoyed the ribs and brisket. The desserts are also excellent.

We have been at Big Vic's couple times now. Our family has the Mac and cheese topped with brisket, trip tip and Brisket sandwiches and Elote bowls. All of which have been top notch in taste and quality. Big Vic is legit BBQ-no doubt about it. Great Job! read more

My girlfriend and I were visiting out of town and decided to stop by. We accidentally came in right before closing and they were still friendly to us. They served us our food as well as letting us still dine inside past closing. The food being super delicious, we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Whooow!! Bow to the kings!! I'm from central Calif. where we take Big Pride in our Tri Tip BBQ. I went into Big Vic for the first time in my life yesterday. I asked him what the difference is between the tri tip and the brisket is. He explained the different between the 2 cuts of meats, then says, "but let the taste make up your mind on which is best to you." He then cut me a sample of each and gave me a sample taste. The Tri Tip was off the Hook!!!! The Brisket melted in my mouth like sweet Ice Cream! I was in Heaven. So, to make sure I was tasting what I was tasting, I went back today and ordered a 1/2 Pb of each to do the taste test. "Vic, Thank You for taking me Back to Sweet, Sweet Heaven!!!" If you want your monies worth and a taste of Heaven, Big Vic's is your place!!!!! Thank you, Vic Tom from Santa Barbara read more

Food was cold with not much flavor. Brisket was dry. Food is also overpriced. However, they did have good bbq sauce.

Went to visit My Aunt/ Second Mother from the Bay and she wanted to try so we did. We ordered a full slab of ribs. A pound of each Brisket and Tri-Tip. The beans and Potato salad. The food was good. Really like the potato salad and the surprise of capers in it! Was awesome. The bbq sauce was also nice. Ribs were great with only a slight smoke as well as the Tri Tip. It did have a hint of smoke. Ribs were juicy, moist and fall off the bone. Disappointed with the Brisket for sure! There was no smoke flavor to the Brisket!! My favorite meat of BBQ and I asked for fatty!! I got lean and fatty! But it was so bland!! Like no flavor!! And the guys were so super friendly!!! I feel bad for the review, but it's an honest review. I love Brisket and they let me down with the Brisket. read more

Do yourself a favor and make a point to check this place out. Meat was amazing. It's hard to find a local place making solid brisket, and now you don't have to look any further. Even the rolls are unique and delicious. They hold up very well to the moist, juicy meat and complement the BBQ nicely. read more

This place is amazing! I haven't had one thing bad to say about anything I've ever ordered! If you can get in during their limited hours I recommend it! read more

Excellent food, good sized portions and friendly service! The brisket mac and cheese was delicious.

Big Vic catered our wedding on May 4, 2019 in Manteca and it was a hit! I was struggling to find a caterer and luckily I came across Big Vic on Yelp. From start to finish, Vic was so helpful and easy to work with. I definitely had time to eat dinner at the reception since Vic and his staff made a plate of food for our wedding party/head table. Everyone loved the food - especially the cheesy garlic rolls! The bbq was delicious. We had the tri tip and chicken for our wedding package and both tasted amaazing. I would highly recommend working with Vic for any event, big or small. read more

Best BBQ I've had since leaving Kansas City. I would drive hours no problem for Vic's. He even spends time coming to each table checking in his guests. Beef ribs that are giant and fall off the bone. Tri tip and brisket that blow anything else in the bay away. Great value and very clean. read more

Had this food at a brewery. Definitely NOT worth the price. Food was dry and hardly had any flavor. Another thing, was over charged by $15. I normally wouldn't think it was a big deal but when the guy in front of me had the same thing happen to him. (I have to warn y'all!) read more

Big Vic's BBQ is ran by an amazing duo of Vic and his father-in-law. From the staff and service to the food, everything is absolutely fantastic! We went with Vic for our wedding catering, and couldnt have been happier. He makes sure the Bride and Groom get taken care of, along with any other special accommodations you may have. I would choose Vic for any event, and cannot wait for their food truck. Vic, thank you for bringing your brisket.. I mean business to the Central Valley. read more

Best BBQ I've ever had. Vic keeps the menu interesting and there is nothing that isn't delicious. Brisket fries are absolutely amazing.

Let me start by saying I was very excited to see another BBQ joint open up, but I was very disappointed with the food. The brisket was dry and hard. Brisket is supposed to fall apart. The price is also pretty expensive. Paid $20 for probably the worst brisket I have tasted and some bad beans. I hope they fix their food and pricing. read more

The best BBQ I've ever had. I don't even like potato salad and theirs is killer. Fresh, huge portions, and friendly staff.

AMAZING FOOD!! AMAZING SERVICE!! I have never been disappointed in anything I've gotten from Big Vic's place.

Big Vic's BBQ - Elote bowl with no bbq sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Turlock, California

This is my opinion the best place in turlock for smoked meats, beans, macaroni and cheese hands down. They only do beef ribs on Saturday, and they are delicious (very , very tender) you got to try them. I'm very picky and will probably never use my Traeger again ( except for salmon). Can't wait to try their pies. They are only open Wednesday thur Saturday. Can't wait till Wednesday read more
