An absolute find! Fantastic nearly fall off the bone ribs. I don't know where they find such meaty St Louie ribs. The chili beans with cheese and onions were really tender and perfectly cooked. Garlic fries crispy and garlicky. A little drive off 99 but totally worth it. Perfect stopping place on the way to Yosemite. Great service. Definitely stopping here on our way back home. read more

Dan and his family always comes through. On our last visit we had burgers. The DUBB, OMG, & Mexicali. The burgers were cooked to order (as always) and tasted fresh and perfectly cooked. Most times when a burger has jalapeños (like the Mexicali) they are usually just raw chopped up jalapeños (not at Dan's). Dan's roasts their jalapeños which adds so much depth to the flavor of that burger. We all had steak fries which were really good. We can always count on great service at Dan's BBQ, always super friendly. We took our meal to go. Personally it feels like during the summer the dinning area is uncomfortably hot. That's the only thing I would say could use improvement. Besides that little detail I will continue to visit Dan's when I'm in the mood for some good food. read more

I don't like ribs, I never have. Now with that being said...my son loves Dan's ribs. He orders them without the sauce, and devours every one! We have tried many other places: Texas Roadhouse, Outback, and Chili's. As far as the other places for ribs, they do not compare to Dan's, at least in my son's opinion. I like the mac 'n cheese at Dan's. It has bacon on top and it usually has a bit of a kick to the sauce. Last night we tried the double trouble burger for the first time. It was a hand patted patty, and it was pretty good! We have been here several times, and will continue to go back. read more

After a day of travel, then a workout - I was starving! This place was close, so I gave it a go! I asked Dan what he suggested - he told me best sellers, and also his favorites... I decided on a sample plate with three meats and a couple sides to go... Brisket, Chicken, and Tri Tip for the meats - Mac and Cheese, coleslaw, and I added some garlic fries... the Mac and Cheese was really good - but I wished I had a little salt and pepper for it, it needed just a smidge of something - but good. I didn't care for the coleslaw, it had a very citrus hint to it - and I just couldn't get on board with it, it wasn't bad - just not my taste. The garlic fries were shoestring type, and also not my favorite. They were really crispy and dry - and not very garlicy... the ranch had great flavor, but I'd like it a tiny bit thicker. Now to the meats... they were all super delicious! Cooked well, flavorful - YUM! And there were decent portions too! The meal came with some Texas toast that was good, and one small bbq sauce (2 would have been nice) If I find myself in the area again - I will for sure come back! And I'll try some of the other sides... read more

Love the food, hate the location. First the food- hot, fresh, delicious. Recommend the ribs, tri tip, pulled pork and mac and cheese. Mashed potatoes were just ok. Garlic bread is tasty. The location- just terrible. The dingy, dirty strip mall has terrible parking and is full of transients. We couldn't eat inside because of Covid but that might help with the location/atmosphere. 4.5 stars for food, 1 star for location. read more

First time here and the place smelled amazing but the food was average at best. The combo with an extra side of meat was 17 bucks. Somewhat disappointed with the around of tri tip but I will not go back because the ribs were cold to the touch. There were 5 pieces and two were inedible because of how cold they were. The other three pieces were warm at best. I told the receptionist but she just smiled and said oh ok. Maybe she didn't hear what I was saying. But serving cold food like that shouldn't happen. It was not very busy. There were two others. read more

3 1/2 stars Stopped in tonight to try their barbecue. Good barbecue places are hard-to-find. I was really hungry so I ordered the 3-meat combo $20. You get your choice of meats. I chose tri-tip, ribs and pulled pork. Comes with two slices of Texas type toast and two sides. For my sides I chose garlic fries and chili beans. Ribs....3 Tri-tip.....4 Pulled pork....4 Texans type toast....4 chili beans....3 Garlic fries....4 The fries were fresh, hot and good. The chili beans were warm and needed more flavor i.e. spiciness. Ribs were OK but not hot. Tri-tip and pulled pork was sliced thin and was good. The Texas toast would benefit for a few minutes of browning on the grill. The barbecue sauce was meh...it did the job but not memorable I would return... read more

After hearing great reviews in person and on Yelp, my wife & I decided to try Dan's tonight. I first tried calling but after several times "circuit busy" from my house phone, I drove over and placed the order. Just as I imagined they were packed, so calling ahead would have been perfect. So I ended up waiting for about 25 minutes for my order Togo. We ordered the 3 way combo (pulled pork, Tri-too & linguisa), 1/2 slab of ribs, home style beans, steak fries & cole slaw. It came with toast, pickles & onion slices. I gave the 2 stars for the fries, cole slaw & toast. Everything else was so-so. Tri-tip had no flavor, barely can taste smoke. Pulled pork, was ok, linguisa was burnt and although the ribs were tender and had a taste of smoke they were not bad. You definitely have to ask for extra BBQ sauce, they hardly put any on, so unfortunately I can not review the sauce. Home style beans, no flavor, needed salt maybe some brown sugar something. read more

We ordered three burgers because we kept hearing about how great they were and were very underwhelmed on top of the fact that the portions were small. One of the burgers was made completely wrong so I had to go back to have it remade I called on the phone still had to wait 15 minutes after I got there when it was their mistake and they were rude about it. It was as if I imposed upon them for them having to do it right. while everybody else's food got cold they didn't even offer to remake my fries that went along with my burger so that I could eat them at the same time and then both be fresh. Could've just save myself time and money by going to McDonald's would've been half the price and pretty comparable on the scale of quality. read more

Very good BBQ. The pulled pork platter came with a good amount of pulled pork that was fairly lean (around 3 pieces of fat in the entire thing). The mac and cheese comes with some bacon bits on top and was well cooked and cheesy. Garlic bread was also delicious. Only thing is they don't give you ketchup with your fries unless you ask and even when i asked I only got 3 ketchup packets. Not nearly enough for an entire $4 portion of garlic fries. read more

That may have been because the food was cold by the time I ate it, as it sat for quite a while before it was brought to me. While I truly appreciated the manager's efforts and customer service, the long wait time and overall food experience left me disappointed.

Inside the sandwich. I ate this with a fork as I knew I was going to skip the bun.

Mike catered my best friend's backyard wedding reception yesterday in Salida. The food was super…read moredelicious and I'm actually enjoying some leftovers now as I type this review. We had chicken, tri-tip, salad and an outstanding warm potato salad. Salad: Fresh, bright ingredients. Lettuce, english cucumbers, garbanzo beans, and currants, I believe. Tri-Tip: Carved and seasoned well. Chicken: I only had a bit leftover but it seemed very delicious. Potato Salad: served warm. Large potato chucks, with what I would loosely describe as a creamy garlic spread were absolutely outstanding. I'd eat them every day and I am 100 percent going to try to copy this recipe at home. I think the team did a great job of executing the meal! It was as hot a H. E. Double hockey sticks too and they did great!

Funny how the world works, I was looking to buy some strawberries but our usual stand was closed,…read more so headed over to 132 to check another strawberries stand .. yes beautiful local grown strawberries is there anything better? Well if you are living in Modesto , and have been looking for real BBQ and I mean REAL GOOD BBQ .. then my strawberry stand being closed sent me down 132 , so drove a bit further to take Dakota Ave. home .... And on the side of the road as we turned from 132 were wind flags calling me to stop and look around BBQ .. there to my left a small orange trailer just beyond a huge smoker .. to the trailer we went an array of BBQ fair listed on menu board ... now I have been looking for good bbq in Modesto for some time, and in my opinion There has been none since "My Sisters Kitchen " closed, there some good BBQ people serving the community, but seems to me no one really stood above the rest .. until now Biggityo's BBQ on Dakota Ave. we purchased 1/2 pound brisket and a full rack of pork ribs and a small Mac &cheese. WOW incredible? The brisket was flavorful tender and a generous 1/2 lb for sure, came with a small container of BBQ sauce sauce was good , nice spice but as my wife said not necessary... the meat was that good on its own. The Ribs , shiny meaty tender and so delicious, nice bite a bit of smoky goodness that did not over power the meat, sauced with just a whisper of a sweet and spicy sauce. This was the best BBQ I have had since my last visit to Rolling Smoke in Las Vegas, it used to be when asked I was going to Vegas to play pool , now when asked , I am going to Vegas for the BBQ. Now I am happy to say I can just stay in town to enjoy exceptional BBQ. It may be what's for dinner tonight too ..

Ordered the smoked Ham for Thanksgiving, it was DELICIOUS!!…read moreI'm a huge ham fan and this was the best! Great smoke flavor and not too sweet! Sorry no picture, it was devoured too quickly!

Big Vic's has definitely improved since my last visit. The meat and barbecue are excellent, and I…read morereally enjoy that part of the meal. That said, I still feel the sides are subpar. I usually end up getting the cornbread because the other options don't really appeal to me. On today's visit, I also noticed the price for the sliders didn't match what was listed on the board. When I politely mentioned it to the cashier, she didn't respond or acknowledge it, which made the interaction feel awkward and dismissive. I wasn't trying to make an issue out of it; I was simply pointing out that the posted price should match what customers are charged. If the sliders are $8.78, put $8.78 on the board. If they're $8.24, put $8.24 on the board. It may seem minor, but inaccurate pricing can come across as careless or even dishonest, especially if it happens repeatedly. I also think the front register needs stronger customer service. The person at the register is representing the business, and when a customer brings up a legitimate concern, it should be acknowledged professionally. Having someone more mature or better trained handling checkout would make a big difference. Overall, the barbecue is moving in the right direction, but the sides, posted pricing, and customer service still need attention.

He recommended the lamb lollipops and they were absolutely amazing -- definitely a must-try. We also ordered the burger, bruschetta, and chicken wings, and everything was delicious.

The service was pleasant, the food came out great, and the overall experience was excellent. If you're ever in Modesto, definitely check this place out -- it won't disappoint!

Very good service, all the people here are nice and accommodating. I had the New York steak with mashed potatoes, medium rare. Steak was above average in quality and prepared how I asked. The dinner salad was a great side prior to my dinner. I would eat here again...although I'm from Southern California...this is one of the better places to eat up here in the Modesto area. Sports bar with very good food to enjoy. I recommend this place. Bar-tender Erica was very nice and great server.
