I was craving good bbq and man this place hit the spot. This place has great customer service from the owner Keith, great sides, sauces, and bbq. I ordered half rack of ribs with 2 sides. Sides: Baked beans - great texture, and good sweet bbq taste Potato salad - had a very addicting tang to it that balances well with the beans Main: Ribs - I got both sauces the mustard and bbq which were both good but I kept going back to the mustard. It just has a really good kick to it that balances well with the fattiness of the ribs. Def recommend the mustard! And lastly I paid 23$ for all this which I could've easily shared with another person. I have plenty of left overs which I will enjoy tomarrow night. read more

This is our go-to place for BBQ in chico! Their ribs are excellent, and the mustard sauce ones are a must try. When we have a busy week it's the perfect place to pick up a huge whole smoked tri-tip or rack of ribs, throw together sides at home or grab them there. Their baked beans are so richly favored, smokey, sweet, perfect. All the plates are big and full of food. Definitely a bargain for all that you get! read more

My fiancé and I had met with the owner to discuss potentially catering for our wedding, which is now 4 days away. The last time we had heard from anyone was about 6 months ago so we did what anyone would do, we found another caterer. We just heard from Keith today asking if we were still ready for them to cater this weekend. When we explained that we had never gotten a contract, a set price, nor had heard from Keith for months so we had no choice but to find another caterer we were called "fucking idiots" by Keith. For a company that parks in front of a church, I find this disgusting. We wanted to support you and were excited to give you our business but this is foul. You need to evaluate yourself and get your priorities straight. I pity anyone who chooses you for a catering company and in return gets disrespected in this manner. read more

Well I can see why this place has so many perfect reviews. First taste and I can already tell this place is a gem. It's not very easy to find restaurants that have a good model, too many businesses out there serving good food that gouge prices saying it's "inflation" when it's really for gross profit or to make up for mismanagement. Simple operation, small menu, excellent execution, no frills or bells or whistles. $14 for a real barbecue combo. Hole in the wall restaurants don't get any better than this. This is the kind of place you bring your girlfriend to see if she's a keeper. read more

Best bbq in Chico hands down. The Carolina Mustard based sauce is fantastic. The service is amazing as well this guy really loves the food that he makes and it shows. If you drive by and see the truck outside I highly suggest stopping by. read more

Bootleg BBQ is hands down some of the best food in all of Chico and is 100% the best BBQ spot in town.

Bootleg BBQ is some SUPER SERIOUSLY legit BBQ. Every item on their menu is astounding and super delicious. Every. Single. Thing. Generous portions, cooked to perfection with that RUUUUB. Amazing sides and dressings. Always friendly service as well, great people. Chico is blessed to have such a great business here serving up some epic grub. Another review mentions Devine permission to be at the church parking lot I would add this food is just simply Devine! read more

Everything I've had from here has been great! The pulled pork sandwich is typically made with a mustard sauce instead of bbq sauce which was really interesting, but tasty! The garlic smashed potatoes are delicious too. The man working was incredibly kind, and I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I am very frustrated with not just Bootleg bbq but Kinder as well. Multiple attempts of contact to try and set up their service for a two day event with no response. read more

When they say everything's good, they mean it. I got the pulled pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and garlic mashed potatoes. I'm not a big BBQ person but the food they had here was seriously good. Thank you to the 2 guys (one was the owner) for being so nice and making this a great experience. Their stew was also undeniably tasty, too bad I was too full from everything else. I'm new to Chico and this place was a great place to go. read more

Bootleg BBQ And Catering - Barbeque Near Me - Chico, California

Best BBQ in Chico. I've been going to this place for about a year now and I'm never disappointed. The guys that work here have put a lot of work into their product and it shows. The texture and flavor on their food is near perfection and they offer their food at an extremely affordable price. I typically get the Hungryman Combo (easily feeds two people) which comes with two ribs, a whole chicken quarter, and two sides. I definitely recommend trying this place out to anyone. Just make sure you show up early because they do sell out. read more

Yummy, delicious bbq! I got the St. Louis Style rib combo with mashed potatoes and bbq beans. The potatoes were yummy and had a nice bbq, smokey taste to them. The beans had a lot of yummy special ingredients with big, hearty, kidney beans. The ribs!! Came right off the bone. The season rub was a nice crust and I got the Carolina mustard as a sauce. Delicious! When I first opened the container (I was hungry) the combo plate didn't look like much, but by the last couple of bites I was stuffed! For $12, you can't go wrong. I appreciate that the meal was served in a cardboard/paper container rather then styrofoam or plastic. I will be returning! I had to fight the cat off from trying to swipe my meal!! read more

Stopped by on a whim and it turned out to be exactly what we needed! Perfectly cooked meat, savory flavors, and super friendly service. Didn't break the bank either for such a hefty amount of food. Most definitely coming back. read more

Love this spot. Friendly, accommodating, and most importantly, delicious. We've tried many things on the menu but our fav is the brisket, followed by Tri-tip. Sometimes you can get a whole tri-tip or container of brisket which can be a nice timesaver if you don't feel like cooking and you've got a small group/family to feed. read more

Bootleg BBQ amazed me. I have never had food like this from a truck. I am amazed. And the gentleman who owns it was so kind. Him and the lady working were so friendly. I ate off this sandwich for like 2 meals. Im amazed. read more

Yummy bbq! Large portions. Too much lol. I especially like the tri tip, ribs and the Carolina barbecue sauce. Excellent customer service but order early because they run out. I do wish they offered more fresh sides and veggies. read more

I love this Bar-B-Q. They call this place Bootleg and I take it seriously. I ask for my big order with the combination meats and sauces to a point that I end up taking a lot home and adding to their meat and reheating as I enjoyed it to the end. The Bar-B-Q of Chico and far. read more

We showed up right as he ran out of food, he was very nice and gave us the last of what he had. We tried a bit of Mac and cheese, potato salad, baked beans, and cucumber tomato salad, all were fantastic. His ribs were tender,and the pulled pork was delicious! read more

I dunno what the 1 star review is whining about. The guy that runs this truck is so nice. Maybe the cops just got tired of eating their own kind. We pulled up around 2pm on a Tuesday and he told us due to graduation, he was out of all meats besides a couple pork chops and a half a chicken. Since we had never come before, he gave my partner and I each a huge chunk of pork to try and two sides, the garlic smashed and the mac & cheese. Both were delicious. I was pretty much full just from his "taste test". Definitely gonna be returning to try everything. He's open 11-8 Tuesday through Saturday (unless he's catering a Saturday event). Says he usually sells out, so it's gonna be best to show up early. Update: finally got a chance to try the food proper. Everything was fantastic. We got ribs with the Carolina sauce, a pork chop, pulled pork sandwich and for sides, beans, potato salad, garlic smashed potatoes and mac & cheese. It was all great. It was enough food to feed four easily for under $50. The "pork chop" itself was the size of a small roast. So tender and flavorful. Can't beat that, especially when it's locally made, from scratch food. If I had to recommend a meal, I'd get the Carolina ribs with the mac & cheese and beans but everything was amazing. Can't go wrong. read more

Amazing food. I had the pulled Pork Sandwich and it was great. The customer service is fantastic as well.
