Food was incredible, brisket was super tender, jalapeño poppers were amazing. Fried pickles were the icing on the cake. Service was top notch. Will definitely be coming back every time we roll through. read more

"Find nearest bbq" took me here from my LA to SF trip. Reviews looked good so I stopped in - a few miles from the 5 - prices were decent (but 7 bucks for an order of fries?) - however, if you're in a hurry, this is not the place for you. I literally watched an entire period of hockey, an entire period, before my food arrived. Based on the reviews, I was expecting outstanding. It wasn't. Granted, the ribs were huge and meaty, but if you're expecting fall off the bone, you'll be disappointed. They're much better than that disaster known as Harris Ranch BBQ. Maybe I'll try this establishment again. I'll let you know. read more

So...I want to write a good review, bc the cashier tried hard and was pleasant. However ordered brisket, salad, and egg rolls. Our food took over 25 minutes not really sure how that happened. There were only four other tables in the restaurant with people. The eggrolls should've been prepped and ready to go into the fryer. The brisket supposedly takes 18 hours. Apparently it must've been at 17 1/2 hours. The salad was fine. No complaints just a basic salad probably from a bag. The eggroll was the biggest disappointment. The first bite was delicious. And then it was not. As I bite into an egg roll grease dripped onto the plate. Like I was changing the oil. The orange colored sauce with no taste had a film on it. Too long to wait and just not good food. Sorry I cannot recommend. Again cashier nice. But something going on between him and the cooks and the customer suffered. read more

Came here Sunday during our road trip. Found it on Yelp. The owner was so friendly and took great care of us. Brisket was my favorite. Juicy and flavorful! You won't go wrong with their Brisket. The ribs were also really amazing especially the Dino rib, which was one of the stars, falling off the bone. Portions are generous! Plenty of inside seating. Comfortable space. Our family enjoyed ourselves!! read more

We stopped by Biggin's Texas BBQ on our way back from Bass Lake. The meat was so tender and flavorful. We also got to pick two sides with our 2 meat combo meal so we chose mac & cheese and charro beans which were both delicious. The service was fast and pleasant. Our daughter had so mush fun with the mini claw machines while we waited for our order. If we are ever back in the area we will be stopping by here for our bbq fix. read more

My friends and I were craving some good hearty meat dishes, specifically BBQ! Service review: First off, the service was immaculate and my friends and I felt like we were well taken care of and checked in. Shout out to the owner/ server for making our first experience at the restaurant a high point of our day! Let me tell you, customer service can go a looong way! Okay, let's get to the food review: - Mac n cheese: just your original creamy, decadent Mac n cheese! Can't go wrong with it! - Texas Toast: ooh! It's a small one, but packs a buttery soft punch in your mouth, like an airy buttery toast of goodness! - Baked Beans: I have to say this was my favorite. Sweet but not tooo sweet, and had lil bits of meat in there. I finished it up and such a good pairing with everything on the plate. - Tri-Tip: TENDER CHEWY. Mix it in the bbq sauce it comes with and you're nodding your head YESSS. - Fried pickles: just get it. You won't be disappointed. Perfect way to start the meal. -Brisket: JUICY and Decadent!! Ahhh put this on your Mac n cheese please. Overall, think this is a place to be at if you happen to be in the Los Banos Area. It's a treasure of a place! read more

First and foremost they have wonderful service. The owner took our order and had great etiquette. They only have a single unisex restroom, but that's to be expected in downtown. Kept up well, so that's a plus. There were 3 other groups of people in there and the noise level was pretty tame. I asked if they will have speakers out front for some country music, and he said they typically have live performances on Friday and Saturday's. 1/2025 2 Meat plate $26.95 tri-tip, ribs, coleslaw, fries and Texas toast. Everything was great. The ribs were large and had a proper amount of sauce on it, not too much. It had some fat on it and that's welcome. The tri-tip had a proper smoke ring and I loved the seasoning that was on the edges. Goes great with their properly spiced and tangy bbq sauce. The fries were (I think) beer battered. They gave us a HEAPING amount for a side (see picture). They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The Texas toast is good, but I think the timing must have been off, because it was cold and the butter may have coagulated by the time it got to our table. Lastly the Coleslaw was a bit too sweet for my liking. Nonetheless this joint gets high marks to give it a 5 out of 5. Come by on Friday nights when they have live musical performances! We will be bringing the kids by. read more

One hour before they closed on a Friday night and we were told to go away kitchen is closed. We will not try again. Bad form!

Biggin's Texas BBQ is an absolute delight. The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. It is clear that he is passionate about his business and the quality of the food. Everything we tried here was delicious- the mac n cheese was creamy and the pulled pork was perfectly smoked. I opted in for the coconut shrimp and catfish with hush puppies. This place is a must try for fans of BBQ read more

This is my first time coming to this shop, I really like the atmosphere here. It makes me feel like I'm in Texas. The food here is very delicious and special. I bought 3 different types of meat to try, this dish is also delicious and mouth-watering. I forgot to take my meal picture cause I eat them right away when they bring it out, of course it's taste really good too. The side order is also delicious, not greasy. Especially the coleslaw, very special because they are all homemade by the owner daughter. In short, I'm very satisfied with the food here. The owner is very friendly , enthusiasm and down to earth make us feel so comfortable . I definitely will come back with my group of friends next time. My husband just found a new hang out spot for good ole Texas BBQ. read more

As soon as we walked in you could smell the amazing BBQ. The gentleman at the front desk greeted us with such a friendly smile and you can't help but feel welcomed and at home. There was 1 big party and 2 other customers inside. He handed us the menu and before we could start to read he told us what he had and what he could do for us. Made it so much easier to think about what we wanted. Ordered a tri tip sandwich and fries and the sandwich came with a drink. He gave us an extra drink since we were splitting it and didn't charge. Now I don't know if he wasn't supposed to do that but I call that true customer service because we both ordered the same drink so he wouldn't have to keep coming to refill our drink and we were staying to eat. The customer at the counter chatted it up with him and it really seemed like such a family feeling. There was a kid trying to win a prize from the claw machine and he walked over and gave him some tips, with his mom nearby. It was such a sweet sight to see the gentleman engage with customers no matter the age. He brought over drinks and an extra bag of chips so we "don't fight over one bag." Just the details. Now the food. AMAZING! I feel sick because I ate more than I should have. Fries were warm, crispy and tasty. The tri tip was beyond anything I can even describe. You can taste the home cooking of it, that's the only way I know how to explain it. He even asked where we were from and gave us a recommendation to try back home. You really need to drop by this place if you are driving through Los Banos. I live an hour away and will be making this trip more often. You won't regret it. read more

Best bbq I've ever had. Food was great. The loaded baked potato and the loaded Mac and cheese is a must. Came all the way from Redwood City

Right smack dab in the middle of downtown! Kiddy corner from Bank of America. Can't miss it! I don't know that I've ever had trouble with parking. Street parking seems to be plentiful no matter what time of day. You walk in and ambiance is that of a bbq spot. A delicious bbq spot, that is! The gentleman that has helped us the couple times we've been there has been pleasant. This last time I called in my order and gave me an estimate of 15 minutes. We ordered two 4 meat platters (one with all baby back and the other with 1/2 brisket and 1/2 tri tip). All the meat was super tender. You picked up the brisket and it fell apart. The sides we chose (both options come with two) were potato salad and baked beans. They were to be as expected. I think potato salad is made with the small yellow butter potatoes. We also tried their pulled pork egg rolls. In reality they should be called Pulled Pork Chimichanga's! One order can be a shared meal in it of itself. Each was packed with so much meat! Our order came out to under $100. It fed 4 adults for two days..lol! You can taste the smoke not to mention the love and care put into their craft. They apparently have live music on Friday's. Great date night place. We will be back! read more

Food was mid gave me a bag of chips with a tri tip sandwich small ass drink tbh light on the sauce

I loved the old location but the new spot is even better. The decor is really nice and there's plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your meal. Of course Ken and his team are amazing and customer service is always on point. My favorite for a long time was the pulled pork egg rolls which you can get with other types of meat if you're not into pork- brisket is delicious! Today I tried their loaded Mac and cheese and oooooh my goodness! Where has this been all my life? If you haven't tried it you are missing out! Keep in mind that portions are generous so if you want to try a few things and your meal buddy is willing, get stuff to share. My mom and I get the egg rolls, a sandwich to split and fries or coleslaw and leave feeling full and happy, with usually something to take home too. BF and I were starving today so we got the egg rolls, tri tip sandwich, garlic fries and loaded Mac and cheese and have a whole second meal to enjoy tomorrow. read more

In the a small town in the middle of nowhere, this bbq spot became my families #1, my mom is already telling all her friends. First, their service was so friendly and nice, like we got took'n care of, fast service, the owner or manager was friendly, was talking to us and not about the food he's was having conversations with us which I liked. Secondly, their food was amazin. We got their big platter, 3 lb meat, 3 sides, and toast. We chose BRISKET, TRI-TIP, PORK RIBS, FRIES, MAC&CHEESE, COLESLAW. There all good brisket was amazin, not a fan of pork ribs and I became one, tri-tip usually dry this was not. Mac& cheese prolly best I've ever had from a business. Only heads up is the coleslaw was unexpectedly sweet, but was alright. Lastly, dessert churro donut, small and good Lt dessert that I needed. If we ever past by this town again we're coming here. read more

Important note, this is no longer a food truck but now a very limited food and service restaurant since the food truck was sold a long time ago. They are only open three days a week and don't prepare enough BBQ food to stay open much more than one day, especially now they are serving low cost, overpriced fish on Fridays. They always seem to be closed when I drive by. The BBQ pork and beef used to be very good a year ago but now everything has since deteriorated. Food inspections have been good lately but they don't sell much food anymore and sadly will probably go out of business this year. I encourage people to go down on Fridays' or Saturdays and prove me wrong with some positive reviews so I can fairly consider changing my mind and reevaluate with a higher star rating. read more

We were passing through and decided to stop for a quick lunch. We got take out and it was amazing! We got the Double Trouble and the Texas Trippler - so delicious! The meat was cooked to perfection and the BBQ sauce complimented the meat without overpowering it. The meat was so tender and tasty that it didn't even need the BBQ sauce. Will absolutely be coming back! read more

Outstanding, authentic BBQ with top notch service and down home Texan ambiance. Happened to be in the area for business and was pleasantly surprised to find this place while walking our dog. The owner, Kenneth, actually came out and invited us in as we peaked in the window! "Come on in, we are pet friendly!" Generous portions of beef and pork ribs, tri tip, brisket, and chicken, all wonderfully moist, smoked, and flavorful! If you appreciate good BBQ, you will love this place! Will certainly return should we be in the area again! Thanks, Kenneth! read more

Driving through and I had a craving for BBQ. So, so thankful we decided to try this place. Clean restaurant, welcoming staff, and amazing food.

I loved this place. All around it was a GREAT experience. We drove all the way from Stockton just to try the bbq here and we got more than we expected. My family and I have visited Texas several times and yes there really is nothing like Texas bbq. The owner himself is from Texas and is the most hospitable person we have EVER encountered. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and indulged us with his kindness and food! The atmosphere he creates here is genuine and welcoming. I highly recommend this establishment. read more

Purchased a few tickets for a fundraiser they were cooking bbq for. Included a "pulled pork sandwich, chips and dessert" ... awful. Dry little sandwich, about the size of a "slider" if that, I'd say 3 bites and it was gone. chips were stale, plain lays, a tiny bag, and they were expired by over a month. Terrible. The dessert was one chips ahoy looking cookie. Very bad business. Will not be going back read more

One of the best places we've been to for food! The manager is absolutely wonderful, the food is always wonderful, and is nothing less than a great time with great food and great people! It is a Texas barbeque in California. We've ordered everything on the menu, except for the appetizers/snacks. All of the meats are amazingly cooked, you can see the pink smoke ring on the meats and they're absolutely fantastic, meats are perfectly cooked! The mac and cheese grilled cheese sandwich, hogwild, and Texas nachos are also really good. Some of our favorites are tri-tip, brisket, pulled pork, hotlink (definitely has spice to it), Texas nachos, potato salad, mac and cheese, and their ribeye special. They started doing the ribeye special and catfish at their previous location, and were absolutely amazing! The catfish was fried perfectly and had a nice batter and good flavor to it. The ribeye came with a Loaded baked potato and asparagus, with a salad and slice of Texas toast, absolutely fantastic! Service is always great, the manager will always come out and check on us to make sure everything's good and even have a conversation with us when we're there. The ambiance is very casual, you can smell the wonderful smell of the smoker and bbq even outside and it gets your stomach excited for the food you're going to enjoy. The inside definitely reminds us of Texas, which we enjoy. Definitely need to have Biggins again soon, it's only been a few months since we were last here. Been coming here for several years now, and go multiple times throughout the year. Never disappointed with anything from the food, service, or atmosphere. read more

We found this gem while we were passing through on a road trip and needed some fuel to keep going another 4 hours. The reviews were great, so we stopped in and were immediately met with a warm welcome from the gentleman working behind the counter. We ordered the 2 meat plate - we chose brisket and tri tip with a side of Mac n cheese and a Caesar salad. The portions were generous and definitely enough for two people to share. Not only that, the meat was tender and delicious. The brisket was my favorite, but the tri tip stood out as well and was a thousand times better than the last tri tip I had recently! Service was quick and hospitable. We scarfed our food down and were on our way, but we decided we would definitely be back next time we're passing through. Would definitely recommend! read more
