    Finally decided to try BBQ From the Curb after hearing from family and friends how good it is. I stopped by on a Wednesday, not realizing they're only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. They happened to be working on a large catering order--lots of food--so I waited. Once they finished, I asked for a 2-meat combo. That's when they let me know they were actually closed and didn't have any sides available, but the owner was kind enough to still offer me brisket. I also asked if I could try a rib, and he threw in two small ribs for me to sample. The ribs were delicious--fall-off-the-bone with a light smoky flavor. The brisket was moist, tender, and had a nice smoky taste. The bark had a heavy dose of black pepper, a bit more than I prefer, but my wife loved it when I brought home the leftovers. Overall, a great experience, especially considering they took care of me even though they were closed and busy with catering. I appreciate the hospitality, and I'll definitely be back to try the tri-tip and chicken!

    First time coming here after hearing great things about it. I like how they have the option to order online. We were coming from out of town so its nice not to have to wait so long. The online ordering had some issues (when ordering the combos that offers two sides, we were unable to select one side, not a second side), but it was still very convenient. We ordered the 3 meats, 2 sides dish with an extra side. Got the tri-tip, ribs and brisket. For the sides we tried the coleslaw, mac n cheese and potato salad. The tri-tip was amazing. It was tender and flavorful. Absolutely delicious. The ribs had good flavor and the meat coukd easily be pulled off the bone. The brisket wasnt the best. Although seasoned well, it was a bit tough and dry. The coleslaw was crunchy and good. The Mac n cheese was delicious with a unique flavor. The potato salad had pickles on it which i thought was different (but i love pickles so it worked for me) was EXTREMELY salty. Not sure if it was just a matter of over seasoning this batch or if that is how it's made every time. Needless to say I wouldnt order it again though. Overall the bbq tri-tip made it all worth it.

    I came here today to investigate what the smoke was about. The service was fast after I placed my order mid-afternoon if that makes a different. Driven by for the last couple of months and have seen a line which tell me the food is good. I order a 2-slider combo for $17 with brisket and tri-tip. The meat was tender as it should be, moist, not overly smoky and seasoned well. I also order a half rack of ribs for $15, and the portion was fair and tender as well. The burned ends were my favorite! Overall, a great experience, everything was tender and flavorful!

    Stopped by BBQ From the Curb in Manteca for the first time. Overall, not a bad experience -- but a few things held it back from being a solid five-star visit. Parking isn't very clear. You'll need to park in the casino lot to get easy access, which we figured out after a bit of confusion. When we got there around 1:00-1:30 PM, the owner let us know they were already out of pork belly burnt ends. We weren't planning to order them, but if we had, it would've been disappointing -- especially that early in the day. I ordered the tri-tip and brisket with a side, and also got another brisket plate with a side. We requested mac and cheese and potato salad, but were served chili beans and potato salad instead. That kind of order mistake matters -- especially when you're paying around $25 a plate. I don't usually give passes for incorrect orders. It's really just about listening properly and not rushing. Also worth noting: they serve Hawaiian rolls as the bread on the plates. Honestly, that feels a little cheap. I get it -- running a BBQ business isn't cheap -- but Hawaiian rolls as the default bread feels like cutting corners when you're aiming for top-tier BBQ. A quality piece of toast or cornbread would elevate the whole presentation and experience. Still, I'd come back when I can afford another plate -- hopefully when the order is right and they're fully stocked. The food wasn't bad, but the details matter when you're paying premium prices.

    I came to check this place out because of the foodie ppl IG reel on this place. You have to get the food to go. I mostly judge people bbq by their brisket. I would have to say their brisket is pretty good. Ribs, burnt ends & sausage was all right. The mac n' cheese made me take a sip of soda after every bite because of too much seasoning. Would I come here often from Stockton, CA? No. My opinion, Smoke & Meat is better.

    If you haven't been to this spot then you haven't had good BBQ in the 209! It's all hits and no misses no cap. We been coming here for almost 2 years already and he just keeps getting better. The meats are smoked to perfection with balanced flavor profiles not too much or too little of anything. All of the sides are good but pro tip mix the beans with the mac it's the best chili Mac you will ever have!!! My favorites in no particular order - Burt Ends, Brisket, Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage, and them Brisket Nachos Mann!! I will say you should come early because he sells out fast but if you serious about your big backery follow him on Instagram and preorder. This spot is walk up only but has a lot of good parking options because of its great location right next to the card room. If you get a chance to talk to the grill master he's super cool good people and the young lady who always takes my order is just awesome! You know it's good when you can smell it before you even walk up! Every time we come here we leave happy - the service and the food here speaks for itself all you gotta do is pull up!!

    Half rack of ribs!

    First visit: Food is amazing. Great sandwich with tender brisket, pickles, onions and bbq sauce on a soft Hawaiian style sweet bun. Ribs are pull off the bone tender with a tangy sauce. Service was ok. Here is the issue. Very small place with just a few folks working. It's a to-go only joint (formerly a hotdog stand). The line gets long and they have to stop taking orders to catch up with boxing up your food. Took 30+ minutes to get to window to order with about 15 people in front of me. Then another 5 min or so to get my food. I would encourage folks to order on their website (which I found while standing in line). Ambiance? Well not really any except the wonderful smell of bbq. The line rolls around the outside and with our current 100+ weather they may want to think of adding some shade structures before their customers start passing out in line! To wrap it all up...would I go for the food again? Absolutely!! Would I stand in line? NO! I will order online next time and see how it goes!! Also to note that their hours/days of operation are minimal so check before you go to make sure they are open!! That all said...that was some damn good bbq!! Smoke on!!

    Probably thee best bbq I've ever had! Each food is mouthwatering including the sides! Everything super flavorful and tender! Service was amazing and I love all the artwork! I highly recommend this place and I can't wait to go back!

    Tri tip

    If you know, you know -- and if you don't know, you're seriously missing out! BBQ By the Curb is hands-down one of the best hidden gems in Manteca. The tri-tip is next-level -- perfectly smoked, tender, and bursting with flavor in every bite. You can taste the love and time that goes into it. And don't sleep on the mac and cheese -- total comfort food heaven. The people running the truck are super friendly and clearly passionate about what they do. You can tell this is more than just food to them -- it's a craft. If you're driving through town or local to the area, make the detour and hit this spot. Your stomach will thank you.

I came with my friend Saturday morning around 11, and we were the only ones around. The truck is parked in a large parking lot with a couple of covered tables next to it for seating; the whole set up is very casual. I wasn't too hungry, so I decided to try two tacos, the asada and carnitas ($2 each). My friend went with a veggie torta ($9). We took the food to go and ate it a little bit later, but WOW was it amazing!! I was blown away by the flavor in the asada and carnitas, plus they give you a lot of meat in the taco. My friend absolutely loved his torta as well, and said it was one of the best tortas he's ever had. The bread was super soft and the filling was amazing. If only I had known the food was going to be so good, I would've ordered a couple more tacos for the road! We're definitely hitting this place up again next time we're in Central Valley.

    Joe K and I were visiting Lodi Lake during the "Paddle Fest", and worked up an appetite. We…read morespotted the YC Catering truck parked nearby within Lodi park. We were impressed at the tempting food items listed on the menu. We have often enjoyed Chamorro style food in the past, and was looking forward to trying them out! The nice woman taking orders was very friendly and helpful as we asked about the different meals offered. I ordered the Shrimp Patties in which you get 4 deep fried "balls" of ground shrimp and other ingredients. Joe ordered a Chicken thigh with red rice. It also included a Shrimp Patty. We decided to share an order of Plantain fries as a side. I got a can of Barq's Root Beer and Joe got bottled water. We had to wait a while for our food, but wasn't a big deal, since they most likely cook each meal made to order. And that's a good thing! However, I was concerned that our drinks were going to get warm during the wait. In general, the food was below our expectations. The shrimp patties were nicely brown and crisp on the outside, but the inside was doughy and under cooked in the middle. Joe's chicken was OK, but even though the red rice had a distinct smokey, barbecue flavor, it still lacked pizzazz. The plantain fries were crisp, but quite bland and the only saving grace was the saltiness surrounding them. I'm not sure if we will try them again upon our next visit, but since a few other Yelpers really enjoyed their food, we might give them another try and have what they had instead! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDA7FTRq5Vk

I love finadeni and was excited when I discovered them on social media. I've had YC 3 times so far and figured now was time to leave this review. Huli Huli chicken is always juicy chicken thigh meat and the sauce is so good. Tonight they suggested for me to try the house spicy sauce and it was THE BOMB especially mixed the the finadeni poured on the rice. I enjoy YC because 1 the food is AMAZING but 2 the customer service is great, you can tell that they make their food with love.
