Griff's BBQ & Grill - This is the brisket burger with garlic fries #great choice "both" - American Near Me - Copperopolis, California

The best BBQ place in this area. I had chicken wings that were perfect for a high fat and protein meal that I was looking forward to after golfing nearby. Later we ordered take out of wings to feed 6 guys back at our resort. We all liked the food and ambience here! read more

First off when we dine in it is usually always really good. But today my husband was coming past Griffs and decided to pick up dinner to bring home. He ordered a 3 meat plate 2 chilis and a potato salad and garlic bread. At home I open the box and I am floored! The meat is small and fatty and barely enough for 2 people not even 3 of us here. The chili is small containers. And the 2 bite size garlic bread pieces. all for 54 bucks. We will never do to go again but it makes me not want to stop there next time when we drive that way. read more

Melt in your mouth brisket and my southwestern smoked chicken salad was very good as well. The side of mac and cheese didn't seem like it was housemade and unfortunately it was overcooked and inedible. Our server (I can't recall his name but he said he recently moved from Nevada) was really great though. Fast, personable and helpful. read more

We don't eat out a lot because we always get disappointed with the food. Y'all!! We haven't stopped talking about Griffs. The four of us all ordered something different and everything tasted f*kn fabulous. Already making plans to return soon. Great atmosphere. The service was primo. Bravo to Griffs. Keep up with your 5 star service. read more

Visited recently for a week night dinner with a group and we had a great time. We sampled a few menu items including the black and blue burger, ribs, bbq half chicken, mac and cheese, BLT. Burger: over cooked a bit (several were the same), but really good flavor/toppings/bun, so forgiven. Ribs: cooked but seemed like they would benefit from more time (not as tender as desired). Chicken/BLT: Great, no complaints! Mac and Cheese: Cute presentation but several were a bit dry, more sauce needed! Parking is easy with nearby street and lot options. Service was friendly and accurate. read more

Went on Friday for the prime rib. My boyfriend said it is melt in your mouth delicious. Large portion. I had the country fried steak. The sauce was amazing. We will be returning. The smell of the smoker outside had my stomach growling read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. The service was superb. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly, helpful, patient. The food was so delicious. Extremely generous portions. The vibe was very cool. Loved the decor. If ever in the area, we'll definitely stop again. Dad that's it's so far from home. read more

Horrible service. One of the rudest bartenders I've come across. I sat for 20 minutes. No acknowledgment, no menu no water. The bartender looked at me twice but was too busy flirting to even say a word to meI walked out and won't go back and I'm local read more

Get the pulled pork sandwich. It's divine. And not too saucy, which is usually the case. Good food. Clean restrooms. read more

Overpriced, identical items are cheaper in the Bay area. Women are cut short on restrooms! As we were on a trip to camping, stops are important to use bathroom. I bumped into a man entering the bathroom and decided not to go there... what??? It was marked for BOTH men and women. Even if I recognize in my head that sacrifices should be made in the name of gender neutrality, my bladder still protests if I'm not comfortable, it's not symmetrical between the sexes. I went to a single occupancy restroom, luckily, it wasn't a busy hour in this big place. But women are essentially stuck with one private stall. I increase it to 3 stars as the food and the ambiance were pretty good. read more

Service and menu are good. Sadly, the food is not. I make tastier bbq on my home grill. Too bad.

First time trying real bbq and it was terrific! You can order 2 or 3 meats in one order that comes with 2 sides and your choice of cornbread or garlic bread. They also give you a good amount of ranch, bbq sauce (tastes real authentic, unlike anything ive ever had before!), butter and (? i think) vinegar. Shown here: Starter of Bbq Mac, 2 meat order of Brisket and Sausage with Garlic bread and the sides of Onion Rings and Fries, then the sides of Chili Beans and Coleslaw with 2 meats of Pulled Pork and the 1/2 Chicken with cornbread All of this was around $87 and sooo fresh and tender, was ready in about 15 mins. Found a new favorite will definitely be back!! read more

Looks are so deceiving. We drove 48 minutes to try this spot out and were extremely disappointed. We had such high hopes especially the booth behind us raving about how delicious the Mac and cheese was. I love Mac and cheese and get it every time it's on any menu.. The servers mentioned it being number one favorite. It was so dry to where it seemed like hardly any cheese sauce was there. It was baked too long. There was zero flavor. None. I had to add a pretty decent amount of salt. As a chef, I usually don't add too much because I feel as though I'm disrespecting the cook. It was not edible without it. The Sando was very basic and dry, the description stated there was bbq sauce which I didn't see nor taste. Aside from the server forgetting to put our order in, she was nice. No one else entered after us but it took over 30 minutes to receive our food... plus our table was dirty. The drive was absolutely not worth it, nor was the price. If you want flavor, go somewhere else. The one star is for the server being nice, that's it. read more

Decided to stop here after a job in the area. What caught my attention was a sign that said Barbecue. Curious, I decided to pull over and look them up on Yelp. Wasn't looking for a heavy BBQ meal, just a sandwich before I headed back on a hour commute. Walking to the door they had outside seating. The main door was this massive heavy front door, really impressive. I had a good feeling waking in smelling the smoke from the BBQ. Plenty of inside seating which is now available, which was perfect since it was quite hot outside. I sat near the bar on a high table seat. I didn't order any alcohol, but they had several beer taps and a full alcohol bar, with seating around the bar. I was seated right away and handed a menu. I ask what was their specialty and the waitress stated their hamburgers. I decided to skip the burger and go for the Brisket Sandwich with a side of chili (several sides to choose from). She mentioned everything was homemade, you could definitely notice. Let's start with the Chili, topped with cheese. Came out hot, very tasty and just enough kick. Not too hot, just right. I should have ordered a bigger size, next time for sure. The brisket had great bark, thick smoke ring, flavor was on point. Crispy bark and juicy middle. Served on a brioche bun and homemade BBQ Sauce. Best brisket I have had in a while. I decided to order 2 lbs of brisket to go ($20/lb) and 3 sides of the potato salad ($3 ea) after asking for a sample. Once again another hit out of the park. The family loved the dinner (3 of us). I will have left overs for tomorrow. Rounded the to go order with 3 orders of peach cobbler. It wasn't overly sweet, but was tasty. Not like my grandma's recipe, but good. Next time I'm in the area I will stop by or if I am just craving good BBQ I'll make the trip (approx 1 hr from my house). read more

Small town, family friendly with some good BBQ is the best way to describe Griff's BBQ & Grill. Very clean, located in a great, safe, low key area and prices were not too bad. I went with a pulled pork sand-which with onion rings. Overall not a bad place to have some good pulled pork. Customer service was on point too, lady who assisted us was very friendly. read more

we've been looking for a good bbq spot for a long time........and we're still looking. We are a family of four, we ordered 2 burgers, one of which was totally overcooked, the other totally undercooked. I ordered a brisket salad which came with two scrawny pieces of dried leather they called brisket. service was ok but insulting as they should have obviously been interested in why we didn't eat our meals. We don't mind paying for a good meal but this was obscenely overpriced for the quality of food we were served. won't be going back. read more

Love this place. Meats are fabulous. Been there about 10 times over the last few years and they always deliver. In such a remote area it's great to be able to get some good food. read more

First time visit on 29 May. Our group of four people all raved over the food and friendly service. Ribeye steaks were delicious. One of our part said it was possibly the best steak dinner he'd ever had. Generous sides of broccoli and green salad, too. Another in the group had jambalaya and said it was excellent. Fourth person had a brisket burger, cooked to perfection. We intend to return soon to try out the slow-cooked BBQ! read more

Griffs is the only fare in town. Ordered the brisket and ribs. The ribs are not great. The brisket on the other hand is good/great. The oil that cooked the onions rings was old. What do you do when you're on a golf tournament. Don't order the ribeye- everyone complained about it. read more

I was about to give Griff's five stars because their competition next door had one of those rude signs saying "rest rooms are for customers only..." But soon realized Griff's not only has no internet WiFi- but also no PHONE SERVICE! Its a small win - and two big lose/loses. Sad but true. read more

Had lunch there today. I ordered the brisket salad, my son ordered the half chicken with fries and garlic bread, my husband ordered the hamburger. My husband enjoyed his hamburger. My salad was basic, a lot of lettuce, and not a lot of flavor, thank goodness for the balsamic dressing, the brisket was dry but tender. My son said the chicken lacked flavor... the only seasoning was a thin spread of BBQ sauce and he felt like a Costco chicken would have been way tastier. His fries were not fresh... were soggy and drenched in a garlic butter sauce. He also didn't like the garlic bread. Too bad... because options in Copper are minimal. read more

Amazing, the food was spectacular I went with my family of 6 and we shared 3 meals and they were amazing. I got the Brisket Burger and it came with a side so I got the regular fries, if you ever go make sure to ask for the ranch because all together it's spectacular, half of the burger was good enough to make me full. The staff were really nice and one of them suggested for us to try the chipotle ranch and it was good. It was very chill there and it had very positive vibes. Next time I go to Copperopolis I'm definitely going back. read more

We ordered the brisket platter and it was not brisket. It was prime rib. It came with twohalf-inch slices of prime rib. All the sides were good. We had the ranch beans and the onion rings and the garlic toast which was very delicious but the meat was a disappointment that is not brisket that is prime rib. read more

Yelp let me down! I don't understand why people have left more than 2 stars?! Restaurant is very nice exterior and interior, besides that there was nothing good about this place. Got sat down right away 1pm on a Sunday, took about 10 mins to order and another 40 mins to get our food, which only half came out, 5 mins later the remaining food came out. Ordered 2 meats, which was disgusting chunks of pork in juice? Had too much fat. The ribs were drier than the Sahara desert, tasted like they were covered in paprika then lathered in bbq sauce and forgotten in the oven. Cole slaw was old, wilted and swimming in its gross juices. This is the worst bbq food I have ever had. We ordered: 2 meat plates, half order of ribs and a pulled pork sandwich, 4 waters for $130. You get a lot of sides, everything in its container to make it look like more food and very little meat. Service also not good, never updated us on our food and no water refills. Would never come back or recommend. read more

We've eaten at Griff's BBQ a couple of times. So we stopped by on our way home for some deconstructed pulled pork sandwiches... to go. When we got home, we realized that the meat was not pulled pork; it was tough, larger cuts... more like brisket meat and leftover parts of ribs with cartilage. Needless to say, we won't be going back because we didn't get what we paid for and they obviously don't want our business if they're trying to shortcut customer's to go orders with leftover parts. read more

I was able to visit this place right before the Journey Revisited concert they had right outside their restaurant a couple of weeks ago. They were really busy and we were lucky to get a seat in the bar. We were greeted by Clarissa who was really friendly and quite busy with all the crowd. My friend and I both ordered the prime rib dinner. It arrived faster than I thought it would. It was prepared the way I asked, medium rare, and I had the chili and salad as the sides. The chili was good, not too spicy. The salad was large and came out before the steak which I appreciated. The prime rib had a bbq, char taste which I enjoyed. I just wish the bread which came with it was not two, little tiny rounds of bread but decent sized slices. Needless to say, I came back with my husband four days later and tried their brisket cheeseburger. Wow! That was delicious! The mix of meat inside the bun made it juicy and very tasty! Clarissa was our waitress again and was so nice and attentive with her service. We'll be back to try other plates! read more
