    The smoked Turkey platter $16.99!

    Worst barbecue we have ever had Overpriced very small portions and food was not hot I would not recommend this location, I would go next door to Denny's instead

    Brisket meal, cabbage slaw, Mac cheese, pulled pork sandwich and 2 drinks for $40 bucks
    Houser S.

    I don't even know what to say! How is it possible to screw up bbq? Obviously we were on the road, so so hungry and spotted this from the freeway, so we stopped. It looked really decent outside and also inside, it certainly has a Texas feel to it. Usually new places I order whats popular so ordered the brisket with Mac and cheese and cabbage slaw. The only thing good was the slaw. The brisket was like beef jerky and over salted and over peppered not sure how it's popular unless they figured we are just travelers and on our way never to come back and they need to get rid of food! The Mac and cheese literally tastes like noodles with velveeta mixed together. I was expecting a good creamy cheesy recipe but no. Lastly we ordered the pulled pork sandwich, it was pretty decent, but pricey! Meals and drinks were just under $40 bucks, I was shocked. Never again and I would not recommend this place ever! We could have had better and less expensive at Denny's next door.

    Part of the jiggle mountain extracted from the dissection.

    Not very good for the price. We both got a brisket sandwich and they were full of fatty pieces. I literally had to dissect my sandwich in order to eat it. By the end of the operation I had a fatty mountain of brisket jiggle. Seemed overpriced for a bun, a couple slices of onion and a few pieces of meat that were mostly fat. In fact one of the pieces on my sandwich was only fat. Like how did the lady who made the sandwich think that I'd enjoy a big chunk of seasoned fat? FYI...I wouldn't. Moral of the story, we won't be back.

    READ BEFORE MAKING A MISTAKE!!! I wish I could give this less than one star, undeserving of anything. Coming in the two girls were awful, didn't acknowledge us and had their own personal conversation using inappropriate language as we were ordering. The meat was absolutely COLD and sooo over seasoned. Asking for the employee to warm the food to be a decent temperature was difficult. She had a difficult time understanding what I was politely asking for. I was also left without a roll which the plate came with and they informed us they were all out, yet they were eating multiple in the back of the counter !! HAD to come to Carl's jr. across to the street to not be hungry. The bad attitude and cold, overly seasoned meat was enough to walk out without eating. Spare your money and time and stop somewhere else.

    Very clean! Warm country themed dining area.

    When I came in, I was greeted with a very nice "welcome in" from a very sweet lady Molly, who was very patient. Because I'm not so well at ordering things right the first time she was polite and helped me to figure out what I wanted. wanted being the first time Customer I was very happy and pleased with my customer service And great hospitality! Hopefully you'll have the same experience. We'll be stopping in again.

    Bad Pork from Dickeys BBQ in Patterson, CA
    Mark C.

    Excited to find Dickeys BBQ at a Truck Stop on the I-5 at Howard Road exit just north of Patterson, but that should have been my first RED flag. The Dickeys was hard to find and is literally in the back of the Joe's Travel Plaza with no directional signs (probably to protect the public). Then the staff at the counter standing around idly talking was the next red flag. The distinct smell of a faulty septic was the third strike. However, the fact that we did not walk out is our fault, but we were hungry, and wanted to get back on I-5 for a LONG trip. Next, There was no fried food available without further explanation or God forbid an "I am sorry." So we got our pulled pork sandwiches and jumped onto the highway in ignorant bliss. Or so we thought. We took one bite and the smell and taste made us immediately repell from the pungent smell and spit out the food, wrap up the spoiled pork and throw them out. We not only wasted $20 and we still need to find food to eat, which is not easy on the I-5, but we also have upset stomachs! DO NOT GO HERE!!! They don't deserve 1 star, but that is the lowest Yelp allows.

    Dickies BBQ Pit of Dallas is substandard when it comes to the art of BBQ. Ordered a half rack of pork ribs at $14.95 which was pricey for what we got. The meat had a pleasant lightly smoked taste, but parts of it were so over cooked, the meat was dry & hard like jerky. The rub was vastly more harsh salt than fine herbs & spices so the meat came out way too salty. Truly amateurish attempt which resulted in faux bbq. Iced tea was so diluted that there was hardly any fragrance of brewed black tea, Also local water was probably used so it had a slight off tasting minerality so I switched beverages. The computer automated beverage machine also failed in recreating the exact flavour of classic Coke. It was too much carbonated soda water probably using the same local off tasting water and not enough of the classic Coke syrup. Ladies here were not particularly welcoming, but the young man & the gentleman who had to reboot the malfuntioning automated beverage dispenser were friendly & sociable. Unfortunately not worth the time off the road on the way to San Francisco to eat at Dickies. 2- Yelp stars.

My husband thoroughly enjoyed his pulled pork sandwich as well. The restaurant itself is also so clean & well decorated. We will definitely be return customers!

    We were regulars at Hot City when Steve and Joy owned the place back in the day; and there was…read moresomething about their food that went far beyond simply being good BBQ. You could taste the time, care, and meaning that went into it. Steve had a way of treating that smoker like it was sacred. You'd see him hovering over those meats, his signature glass of wine in hand, watching over them like a father watching over his kids. He wasn't just cooking meat. He was tending to it, making sure it was right. And you could taste that care when it hit your plate. When Steve and Joy sold the business, we were crushed. We definitely throttled back and eventually found ourselves traveling out to the Bay Area when we really wanted BBQ. We've given Hot City a few chances under the new ownership, hoping we'd find some of that old magic. Unfortunately, we haven't. The food just doesn't have the soul it once had. The meats have been inconsistent in both flavor and texture, and the sides have left us equally unimpressed. Our most recent visit really confirmed it. The food looked good, but the flavor was flat. The tri-tip lacked the seasoning and depth we remembered, and the sides were dry and bland. We ended up reaching for the salt and pepper just to bring life to the plate. And that's the real problem. BBQ isn't just meat thrown on a smoker. Good BBQ has personality. It has patience, pride, seasoning, smoke, and somebody behind it who genuinely cares about what they're putting in front of people. That's what Steve and Joy brought to Hot City. There was a heart behind the food. You felt it before you even took a bite. When they left, unfortunately, it feels like the soul of Hot City left with them. What remains is a shell of what Hot City used to be. I'm not writing this to be nostalgic for the sake of nostalgia. I'm saying it because we were regulars, we remember what this place was, and we've given the new version more than one chance. It's just not good BBQ. I really hope someone finds a way to bring that soul back. Because Hot City used to mean something to us. It wasn't just a place to grab some good BBQ. With Joy and Steve, you were family!

Stay Smokin BBQ was catering for an event at my children's school about a month or so ago. For those who have children, you know all too well how picky kids can be when it comes to food and my boys are no different. I had ordered a combo meal for my two boys and I to share. I wasn't sure if one combo meal was going to be enough for all three of us, however, when I received our food I realized the portion sizes were large. We ordered brisket, pulled pork, tri tip, baked beans and macaroni and cheese. If you're a mac and cheese lover like me, you definitely have to try their homemade macaroni and cheese. It was creamy, cheesy, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. When it came to the brisket, pulled pork, and tri tip, I have to say it is probably the best BBQ I have ever tasted. Each bite was juicy, full of flavor, and tender. They provided homemade BBQ sauce, but the meat is so flavorful that you don't have to add anything to it. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Stay Smokin' BBQ! In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I reached out to Stay Smokin' BBQ to help provide a nice Thanksgiving meal. I didn't get any names which I highly regret now, however, they took care of us on Thanksgiving. They generously provided brisket, pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, and a sweet potato pie to my children and I. They gave me the day and time to pick the order up and when I arrived, they handed me hot and fresh BBQ that just came off the smoker. I think this Thanksgiving meal spoiled my four children because they asked if we can stop making turkey and just get the BBQ. Thank you so much Stay Smokin' BBQ.
