After a few trips to DBTBBBQ in Traver, here are a few of my thoughts. The food is good to excellent. Standing out to me are the Brisket, Ribs, & Tri Tip. My side faves are the Cole Slaw and Macaroni & Cheese. I love the sliced pickles served as a condiment, but I'd like to see some onions served as well. The sauces are good - 1 sweet and 1 spicy. The spicy is also sweet. I would prefer a more savory sauce. Sometimes the meat needs sauce. Like today's pulled pork, which although was flavorful, lacked enough moisture and had to be sauced. The brisket needed no sauce. It was delicious although cut really wrong and could have shown off its tenderness better had it been sliced correctly. Still delicious but attention should have been shown to the cutting of it. When I pay 36.00 per lb. for something, I expect it to be cut correctly. The service is good and informative. I would like to come when it is busy there but so far I've always hit when it was slow The ambience is just as I like it. Decorated in what I call "Barbecue Funky", it brings back the look and feel of the old time BBQ Joints that were so much fun. Country & Western music happily round out the mood. Another little nit to pick would be no ice for the bottled soft drinks which is all they have. Hopefully a fountain machine is in the future plans. All in all, Don't Bite the bone BBQ is well worth the stop or drive (ours is about 25-30 minutes) to enjoy some good 'que. Dont miss the brisket. I'm sure next time it will be sliced correctly. My rating would be 3.5 stars. I'll round up to 4 believing future improvements will occur.

Very good food. Despite it being busy lunch time the food came out fast. Everything was cooked to perfection. The potato salad is smoother than I've ever had, I prefer it chunky but the taste was still there. Try the Texas twinky so worth it. The only thing I'd recommend is them having more drink options. Maybe some sweet tea and lemonade.

The food is amazing with the best choices of BBQ meats. The cornbread side is the best I have had in years. The service is fast and the staff is friendly. What I like best about the ambiance is it is relaxed. I brought in my own home tea to drink. You can also buy bottle soft drink at the counter. Limited hours so make sure you check the posted hours.

We frequently travel up north and have always seen a BBQ rig here but finally stopped in and learned that this place is new. Anyhoo, I'm SOOOO GLAD I stopped by. I bought a plate of brisket, potato salad and chili. I've never bought brisket that didn't need BBQ sauce to add flavor and moisture, so I immediately slathered on the sauce. I get into my truck and taste the brisket and it was freaking SO GOOD! So good I had to go back in and get a second plate and left the BBQ sauce off!! This brisket was so flavorful and cooked to absolutely perfection, the sauce was not needed! Now as for the potato salad, I am very particular about potato salad. Most people add too much mustard or it tastes like vinegar, but this potato salad truly tasted homemade!!! I highly recommend stopping inif you get a chance!!! I know it's going to be a must stop whenever I head up north!!!

While waiting for my car to charge I noticed that there was a barbecue restaurant near. I decided to give it a try after seeing that it has a perfect rating on yelp. I went in and I was instantly hit with the smell of warm smoked meat. I knew I was in the right place. I ordered a brisket sandwich with coleslaw. The restaurant is nice and it has open seating. You pay for your meal and then they Assemble it. I really appreciate it that he toasted the Buns first. My sandwich came with a nice serving of coleslaw and three pickles. I am a Texas girl at heart and normally have white onions with it but hey I'm in California lol. I enjoyed my sandwich with their spicy homemade barbecue sauce. 10 out of 10. They also serve smoked sausages pulled pork and ribs. I definitely come back to this place again and the food was amazing!

To meat plate combo $30 out the door

I got the two meat plate, brisket and ribs. Both OK nothing special. I got two sides mac & cheese and chili beans. The beans were hard and the mac & cheese was mediocre. I asked for an extra barbecue sauce. They said they charge $.75. I told them for a $30 plate you should be able to get an extra barbecue sauce since I did get two meats he just shrugged his shoulders like oh well and of course I ran out of barbecue sauce, I ended up giving half to play away. There's nothing special about this place. I think it's overpriced and very mediocre.

12/13/24 Hot and New! Must try! The worker was Great! They only do chicken thighs. FYI! 4 meat plate ordered with 2 chicken thighs, Pork ribs and tri-tip. Potato salads and extra order of chili beans. The worker was Great! Asked if they had spicy BBQ sauce and they just got it in. Ordered that too! Arrived to pick up! Greeted upon entering! Large, open space with music playing. Order almost ready. Paid for it, order was ready and waiting at the end table and wished a good day with many greets goodbye! Great! The worker told me they've been open about a month. Lunchtime! Order split. It's a lot! Chicken thigh was Really Delicious! Great BBQ flavor and the spicy BBQ sauce made it even better! Potato salad was Great! Pretty much mashed potatoes. Chili beans 1/2 were flavorful with a nice, spicy kick. Tri-tip was tasty! Rib was Really Great! Tender and DELICIOUS with a lot of flavor! Mother said hers was GREAT! Lots of leftovers too! Great service & GREAT lunch! HIGHLY recommended! They deserve every star!

I'm always in search of good BBQ. I came here on a Monday at 11:00 am. I ordered a pound of brisket, a pound of ribs, a pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, chili beans, and green beans. The ribs were over cooked, the brisket was a bit dry, and the pulled pork was dry. The meats were no over smokey, which I like. I didn't care for the coleslaw or the green beans. I liked both BBQ sauces. The main man behind the counter was very nice. I've had worse BBQ and better.

Had the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. Let me tell you, best brisket I've ever eaten. And the bbq sauce is amazing! I ended up buying a bottle when I left. Can't wait to go back and try more.

Great food & a friendly staff!. Try their tri-tip or brisket. Both are excellent! It is near Bravo Farms, but on the east side of the road.

Bravo Farms is always so delicious. On my way back from a trip to Fresno, I stopped by the Tulare…read moreOutlets location to get lunch and take a work video call. This was my first time at this location, and it is such a cool space! The tri tip sandwich and fries were, of course, delicious as ever. They have a full bar, a butcher counter, a charcuterie counter, a coffee & pastry counter, a shop full of fun assorted items from art to clothing, and ample seating areas with curated vibes. It is truly a one stop shop for anything you could want. It was neat to see it full of folks hanging out in the various seating areas. I was still able to find a spot with ease which was conducive to taking a work video call. The only challenge I had was not eating my food in too ferocious of a manner mid call, and if you've had their tri tip, you know this was a true challenge. lol I look forward to the next time I'm driving through, so I can stop by again!

Today I decided to stop to see what it was all about. They make their cheeses here and you can see the machinery behind the glass near the cheese section of the gift shop. They also sell lots of nuts, dried fruits, candies and fudge. The gift shop is quite large and you are likely to find a gift for anyone you know here. The bathrooms were really clean and modern farm style in design. Right next to the gift shop is a restaurant that smells amazing. I ended up buying chocolate peanut butter cups as a gift. They were pricey but probably worth it.

Having that absolute burger craving, I didn't want to get you standard fair once more, plus Stacked…read morewas at the back of my mind the last few days when it came to good burgers. Stacked it is! Had a credit to use, which made it all the sweeter and i chose a "Double Stack with cheese, went with American Cheese, cause its the best and greatest cheese on a burger. Just my opinion, but its a great one lol. Your choice of toppings, but you can pay extra for other top tier toppings, i just went with lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and jalapeños. They do give you the option to add condiments like mustard, mayo and their stacked sauce. Note: the Stacked Sauce does have a kick. So for people who don't prefer spice should stick with the mayo/mustard, or do as i do and get it plain. This is the way. "If you know, you know." I always go plain on a burger no matter where i go lately. I just like to see if a burger can hold its own without any dressings to hold it up and overpower it. Meat, cheese, bun and sometimes a little veggies "preferably grilled onions and jalapeños". This burger didn't need any dressings, but it damn sure elevated it when i dipped it in the stack sauce on my last bite. I absolutely love a spot who's house made sauce gives you something new than just ketchup or thousand island. They do have ranch and bbq sauce also. The ranch is so good! So final total for delivery "including tip" was around 20 bucks. That's really not bad for the prices in today's economy, especially with the amount of food this place gives you. It was so nice I ordered it twice. Two days in a row good! Same order, had to test the odds. The odds were in my favor, the burger was still hot to the touch, juicy, flavorful! The lettuce, tomato, grilled onions and jalapeños all did their job to take this burger from great to outstanding! The fries were very good also. Nice seasoning, soft and pillowy middle with a little bite from the exterior. Overall i would love to come back here regularly. I personally wouldn't like to try to find parking near them or deal with more of the late night drinking crowds in the evenings, so delivery isn't a bad option in my opinion. Food was so good! Absolutely must try if you haven't. Everything is super fresh and flavorful.

Too much going on with this burger wish I would've tried a regular for first time coming here…read more Nothing wowed me to be honest however the sweet potato fries were good. Staff was nice as well.
