After a 3 hour drive from Sacramento we worked up an appetite and some buddies took us to North Fork BBQ.. we did arrive late so they were almost out of just about everything which effected what we could order however my wife got the "outlaw potato" and I got the Carolina pig sandwich.. (those were our only two options at the time we arrived) but neither disappointed: The outlaw potato: If comfort food and gourmet creativity had a baby, it would be this open-faced smoked potato masterpiece. From the first glance, it's clear this isn't your average spud -- the sea salt-crusted skin adds a satisfying crunch that gives way to a pillowy, smoky interior. Melted butter and tangy sour cream mingle at the base, setting the stage for the savory dance of crisp bacon bits and fresh green onion. The Carolina pig: this sandwich is what barbecue dreams are made of. Served on a perfectly soft, oil-top bun, the pork is tender, smoky, and slow-cooked to perfection -- each bite packed with that signature tangy Carolina flavor that fans of true BBQ will instantly recognize and love. Service: was top notch the girls were ready to go home, yet they entertained us and kept us laughing with offering items they no longer had on the menu. They did not make us feel rushed nor did they throw any shade at us that we were probably holding them up from closing shop. read more

North fork BBQ food is absolutely delicious. The night we came they had run out of several items so get there earlier. Their chicken thighs are really good and I got the tri tip plate with potato salad and baked beans. It was moist and tender. They also have a dog friendly patio which we really appreciated. Abby loved getting to eat with us. Don't forget to get there early for a wider selection of bbq. Next time I am having brisket. P.S. I had heard a rumor they were moving to the coast. They say they are closing November 23rd. read more

North Fork BBQ - Famous Pig Sandwich with Potato Salad - Barbeque Near Me - North Fork, California

The owner (Trevor) and his family have so much love and passion for their restaurant and the community. I love being able to contribute when you can see all the effort and excitement put into the food and service. I also cal tell he tries to really know his customers and care for them. As far as the food : really the best quality meat and flavor. I've tried a handful of their items... just had the breakfast burrito today I believe it was called the redinger special, took me back to New Mexico style ranchero breakfast flavors sooo yummy . It's BIG we shared it. Brisket and bacon inside were perfect. Got a side of salsa also. Wouldn't mind adding a second egg on top but also maybe more of the ranchero sauce .... Otherwise made us want to try more of the breakfast items. Also glad they have a kids menu and added the tacos to the menu. Everything is great. read more

I'm saddened to say but North Fork BBQ is permanently closed! They're moved to the Central Coast. For everyone who's eaten there, you'll be greatly missed. If you've never eaten there, you'll never know just how much you've missed! Trevor, I wish you and your family only happiness in your next adventure in the Central Coast, you will be greatly missed! read more

The food was amazing the ambiance sent you back in time but also honors those that once served for our country. It was good and friendly service. You order at the walk up window outside and the place is self seating. We were with a group of people so we sat inside. I had the Pulled Pork sandwich with thei Pooly seed slaw and a side garden salad. I wish I would've ordered extra slaw cause it was the right amount of sweet and tangy for the sandwich. Because I'm a saucy girl I knew I should've asked for extra BBQ sauce. It was good sauce! read more

AMAZING!!! Service was perfect! Meat was smoked to absolute perfection! I really enjoyed the pictures of the Veterans! It honored them Well. The smoked Apple Pie was absolutely delicious! We're local ish.. In Auberry but it's well worth the trip. The BBQ Sauce selection is great! read more

Really good tri-tip! Their menu is limited to bbq chicken or tri too but that's okay because they do it right! My son also enjoyed the rancher dog which is their chili cheese hotdog sandwich and he said it was good. The shop is veteran owned and price is reasonable! Will definitely be back when we're hankering for some tri tip!! Sides were tasty as well, my daughter devoured the Mac n cheese! read more

The place made me feel welcomed, as a veteran myself. Trevor, welcomed us and took our order as he informed us of each breakfast dish. All fresh and local produce. The food had lots of flavor and you could taste the home cooking. Highly recommend you stop if you are in the area, or heading to Bass Lake. read more

Bbq was awesome. We tried the ribs, brisket and chicken thigh and all were fabulous specially if you add their OG sauce which was a party in your mouth And even if we were first timers there, Lindsay was so patient in explaining to us what their menus are comprised of and her recommendations were all spot on. She never rushed us and gave awesome recommendations. If we are going back to Bass Lake, i will make sure to come back to get more of their bbq. read more

I just had North Fork BBQ cater for our wedding and we could not be more delighted with our choice. Trevor and his team were amazing through the entire process and made everything extremely easy.

They chicken, pulled pork, baked beans, and potato salad were sooo good! So much flavor in everything! So if you're having an event or just in the area I recommend stopping in and giving this place a try! Hands down best BBQ around! read more

My husband and I were working up in Bass Lake and decided to pick up lunch in the area , we found this BbQ place on the way home in North Fork and decided to try it. Well let's start by saying this place has earned their stars and reviews on Yelp! We ordered the 2 meat plate because I wasn't that hungry and wanted to just share with my husband. We got the tri tip and brisket plate. OMG the brisket is out of this world!! My husband and I have never had brisket this delicious! It beats Westwoods by far!! Customer service is incredible also! Trevor the owner retired military is super nice . We loved it so much we had to take a pound of brisket home for dinner later. He also gave us a sample of their pull pork "incredible "!

We traveled quite a bit to get here. We have been coming to the current location in North Fork a few times since they moved from Oakhurst. We went to the Oakhurst location quite a bit and had good meals there. We want to support the local guys. We're disappointed that there was a limited menu. Again! No ribs - no carnitias - no ice for the tea. The crew did nothing but complain about being too tired to work. It'll be a long time until we come back. read more

Food is fantastic & yummy! The service is amazingly helpful and friendly! I had the pulled pork sandwich with the cabbage in between and a side order chili beans and oh my gosh, I could order it every time I go visit!! read more

Checked out the new location on my lunch break today. Staff is friendly as always and accommodating. They are working out some kinks at the new location but man are they busting their butts to make it a great experience. Got a 1/2 b of tri tip today as we are doing the carnivore diet these days. It's definitely the best option in North Fork if your dining out read more

We made a quick u turn when we saw the lemonade out in the front. We ordered the family feast for 2 adults & 2 teens. It was plenty of food, we even had left overs. We could really taste the time and dedication put into each item ordered. Everything was flavorful and delicious. We will definitely make a stop next time we are in the area. read more

North Fork BBQ, Oakhurst: 25 Mar 2023 We were excited to support and try out our local eatery. North Fork BBQ is owned and operated by two brothers Trevor and Colin. I placed our meals to go. Trevor took my orders. He sounded pleasant on the phone. 4 of 5 When we went to pick up our orders, Trevor greeted us. He's friendly and welcoming. I noted that the eatery was spick-n-span. And the tables that were empty were clean. The kitchen can be seen through an open door, and it too, looked clean and well-organized. 5 of 5 Trev's Tri-Tip Sandwich (oak fired tender tri-tip loaded in a garlic French roll, served with a side of housemade bbq sauce or salsa): "The meat was extra smoky and dry. The chili had too much chili powder and was not cooked all the way through. The sides (Potato Salad and Mixed Green Salad) were very good. What shocked me was the small piece of garlic french roll. I guess I expected a sandwich roll to be much bigger. 3 of 5 Kids Sliders (2 small tri-tip and 1 choice of side): The meat was well-seasoned but on the dry side. The Rice Pilaf, though fluffy, was under seasoned. 3 of 5 The food may be mediocre but the owners are nice. If and when we return, we'll order other items on the menu to test them out. read more

Walt from Walt's Adventures still adventuring around Oakhurst, California and this time, I sought out North Fork BBQ. This eatery is like a well established family owned BBQ stand with inside seating on picnic tables and, as I was told in the Springtime, outside dining. I favored the Santa Maria Tri Tip sandwich with a Potato Salad side. Others in my group ordered the Trev's Tri Tip combo with the Ranch Chili Beans and the Rice Pilaf (not pictured). All of the sandwiches and sides were flavorful and delicious and filling. I was full after consuming half of my selection. They probably did not need this addition but for my tastes, I would have liked to have seen a side of house BBQ sauce accompanying the meals. It was clear that when it comes to BBQ in the area, there was only one selection and it's name was North Fork. read more

12/31/23 Happy New Year's Eve everyone! Getting lunch! One tri-tip plate with potato salad & chili beans and a BBQ chicken plate with rice pilaf & lemon poppyseed slaw. They also do spicy BBQ! When asked about having spicy BBQ, the worker said they could make it. The worker said it would be ready in 20 minutes. I went in to get it shortly later. The restaurant is very nice and low key. Laid back. Wood tables and BBQs set up on the side of the restaurant making the meats. Greeted by the owner right after walking in. He was very kind and the order was ready. Paid for it and he made a comment about the spicy "habanero" BBQ sauce that he made. Yum! Lunchtime! All of order split to try a little bit of everything! Lunch was Really Great! Tender meat that was even better with the hot & spicy BBQ sauce! All of the sides were Great too! Lots of flavor! Plus, lots of leftovers! Easily, another meal! Mother said hers was Great too! She said she really enjoyed it all! Plus, lots of leftovers! Easily, another meal! Good service & Great lunch! Highly recommended! read more

We were visiting the area and wanted some barbecue on Christmas Eve. North Fork was open and we were excited to try it! I love that they are veteran owned. We went with my brother who is a veteran and were able to get a discount on our entire order. Several of us opted for the tri tip rancher bowl, which was sooo tasty! My brother opted for the 1/2 rack of ribs and devoured the whole plate. This spot is delicious! Definitely recommend. Easy parking right out front and plenty of option of seating inside. read more

Showed up at 11:00. Took 45 minutes to be served after placing order. Trip tip sandwich bread was burnt and tri tip lacked flavor as well as had an unusual taste to it. Addressed the owners and they were dismissive. They offered to make another but didn't think that would help. Sides tasted like canned beans and canned macaroni salad. This place is different now. read more

It's a 3 for me. This place came highly recommended. It was pretty mediocre for me nothing stood out. It's expensive. Stick to the tri tip sandwich. Best bang for your buck. The ribs were way overcooked and burnt. Not much meat at all. My daughter liked the chicken but it was one note salt for me. Tri tip was good but grisly had smoke on it kinda dry. I thought having 2 bottles of bbq sauce up by the cash register was odd. Put a couple bottles at every table. I asked if the potato salad was made in house cashier said yes. Tasted ok my daughter thought it was way too sweet. Chili beans were good. read more

Unfortunately, the quality of the food and the availability of menu choices have declined dramatically since the owner left for Pismo, CA. As much as I'd love to support a family owned restaurant, my experience last Saturday will lead me to eat elsewhere next time I'm in that area. I had originally given this place a 5 star, but I'm being generous giving them a three star. read more

Always out of something , limited menu....Expected better ‍ It won't be long and they will be gone !! Poor North Fork!

Great food, friendly staff. Had the breakfast scramble which was delicious. The green chile on top is killer. After splitting a breakfast we ordered as 3 meat plate as they were opening for afternoon service, the brisket was delicious, great bark, great texture, and delicious flavor. The chili beans are quite tasty and went great with the tri tip. The pulled pork was moist and flavorful, I thought I'd have to go grab some sauce from inside for the pork but decided it was unnecessary after tasting. I'll be stopping by anytime I'm in the area. read more

If you want some tender juicy tri-tip or chicken and you don't want to have to ask "Where's the Beef?" This is your place! He barbecues his meat and chicken right there outside in a big open smoke cooker. We had one chicken and one beef tri tip special. You get two sides and a salad and some hawaiian bread and for 15.00 !!! No post covid prices or portions here. Inside they have their counter wind up with their homemade barbecue sauces that you help yourself to. The gentleman running the barbecue came and checked on us. , broadcast are food out by some wonderful fragrant wisteria. Some of the sides are broccoli sla moms beans, chili beans, potato salad. It really couldn't get better than this unless they offered sides of grilled onions and peppers! I hope they add those because Their try tip is incredible And I would love to have a sandwich with some peppers and indians may be some Roasted jalapenoss. They just started up I will hate to see what happens once they got in gear! They are located across from the Talking Bear in the corner of the cute little shopping center. They are supporters of America and Veterans! Love it read more
