Amazing! My coworkers also got the pulled pork, brisket, fried rice, and beans and thoroughly enjoyed theirs too. I herd the beans were a must! The picute just doesn't do it justice. BBQ done right!

Outstanding BBQ in Lodi! Excellent service even though every table was filled at 12:30pm for lunch…read more They kept my sweet tea full the whole time. So attentive and friendly. The food was on point. I really enjoyed my brisket sandwich with plentiful, smokey meat. The bread was the right amount of crunch and softness to support the meat. Brought back fond memories of a place on the coast we used to enjoy years ago. The fried okra was flavorful with the right amount of crunch. Cole slaw and Mac & cheese were the right combination of cheesiness and cool accompaniments. It I Will definitely come back when I visit my daughter I Galt.

Absolutely incredible barbecue!…read more We ordered the ribs, potato salad, cornbread, sweet potato pie, and baked beans. Everything was amazing. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and excellent. The baked beans were honestly the best I've ever had, and the potato salad was the best potato salad I've ever had from a restaurant. The cornbread was absolutely to die for and so delicious! We also enjoyed the sweet potato pie, which was the perfect way to finish the meal. Everything tasted homemade, flavorful, and made with care. Catherine, the owner's daughter, was working while we were there, and she was so friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She made the experience even better and was happy to answer our questions. I highly recommend Daddy's House of Ribs if you're in the Lockeford area. The food, service, and hospitality were all outstanding. We will definitely be back!

My wife and I went here for dinner because friends suggested it saying, "best BBQ west of Texas."…read moreI was not impressed. 1 - They have only one kind of BBQ sauce, and it is VERY spicy. I like spicy, but this was nothing but burn. How does a BBQ restaurant NOT offer a variety of sauces?!? 2 - We ordered the 3 Meat Combo plate. We wanted pulled pork on it, but were told that wasn't available for combo plates. Reallly?!? So I got the chicken instead. That turned out to be two dry legs. Had I known that, I would have gotten the ribs. The meal plus one water plus tax and tip ended up being $48. To be fair, there was enough food for two people with a little left over. But I just don't see the value.

Smokey Grill in Lodi is officially our new go to spot for incredible Tandoori BBQ food with amazing…read moreflavors. We've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and since their other location is closed in Sacramento on Tuesdays, we finally made the trip to Lodi and wow, it was absolutely worth it the wait and Abdul that helped us was cool. He had a good sense of humor. We were coming back from Monterey and all of us were hungry. We ordered quite a feast: (3) chicken tikka wraps without lettuce 8 piece chicken tikka 8 piece chicken malai 6 regular naans + 1 garlic naan Tandoori fish order Tandoori chicken pizza Chicken tikka masala rice plate Every single item was flavorful, mouth watering, and cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka and malai were tender and packed with flavor. The naans were soft and fresh, and the chicken tikka masala rice plate had that rich, comforting sauce that was creamy smooth you can't stop eating and dipping your naan into. The tandoori fish was a standout smoky, well seasoned, and tender. They give a lot of meat inside the wraps. The tandoori chicken pizza... let's just say we couldn't even wait to get home. We ate a slice in the car because the smell alone was too tempting. That's how good it was. We took everything to go, the quality was top tier! You can tell they care about their food and flavors and wanting their customers happy. Abdul kept letting us know the status of our order and took care of us with chutney and ranch. If you've been thinking about trying Smokey Grill, don't wait.... this place delivers on every level! Ask for Abdul, he is down to earth nice guy. 5 stars!! Thanks Abdul!! Photos are attached

As good as they are you would really think you would get just a few more. Onion rings on the other hand are huge and drinks are refillable. Parking lot is in the back as well as the entrance. Not the best location for huge parties and zero booths. Lots of tables and bar top.

What's not to love about Lockeford Sausage?! The back of their business card has the list of…read moresausages and was told that you may order ahead of time but will still need to get in line for pick-up! Even though the sign says they only allow 6 people at a time, the line goes pretty quick but what slows it down sometimes are the newbies who aren't familiar with what they offer or designate one person. Also, try to avoid coming in at least 2-3 days before any Holidays unless you have time to wait for a good hour or two, speaking from experience. Appreciate the staff overall with all their hard work! Aside from their infamous bacon which I love, we also pick up about a pound of the following: Spicy Luau, Italian and Breakfast sausages. We pick up regular or teriyaki jerky from time to time as well.

This was the only time I have…read moreactually tried sausages and asked someone where they got it. lol Anyway the host told us its from here, and if we would like some, he will get us some when he visits again. Lockeford is pretty far from us so we took the offer. After maybe a year of learning about this place, we finally found ourselves close by to visit the actual store! We heard the lines can get pretty long so we went right at open on a Sunday. There was a line of maybe 8 people so we didn't wait too long. We had our list ready so we didn't have to hold the line while we ordered. We got chorizo, smoked Dakota, and our favorite, spicy Hawaiian. We got stuff for 3 houses so we had them all packed separately. The ladies working here were very serious and processed us quickly and let us go on our merry way. I also grabbed from teriyaki beef sticks for my ride back home. Super delicious so I will have to remember to get more of those next time.

The freshness of their house made pesto pasta is top notch it just melts in your mouth with each bite. Ribs had a very nice smoky taste not too sweet, not too salty just right on seasoning and the bark was fabulous these ribs were cooked perfect, nice & tender but the meat didn't rip off the bone in one piece as if they'd been overcooked so great job on the ribs guys. Full size meals here guys so you know. Laura and I split a rib meal so we each got 4 ribs apiece, pesto pasta for both of us on our own plates since they even let you split meals for $5 extra. We'll worth plate split, each of us had ribs, pasta, bread and side. She got salad I got fresh minestrone soup too. Desert had their special spumoni ice cream to split among us.
