Stockton's food scene has taken a hit over the years. We used to be one of the few Valley cities with real-deal multicultural spots, quality ingredients, fair prices, and kitchens that actually cared. Lately, too many places feel like Chuck E. Cheese: loud, generic, and just going through the motions while delivering old microwave tasting entrees at premium prices. Then there's Smoke & Meat BBQ on Yosemite Ave. Yosemite's got that sneaky Haight Street feel, a little gritty, but lined with pockets of greatness and this spot fits right in. Feels like it used to be an old deli or butcher shop, and thankfully they kept that classic Stockton character intact. Service is exactly how it should be. No forced smiles or over-the-top scripts, just a straight-up "what can I get you?" Efficient, genuine, done. The food is the real story: consistent, high-quality, and fairly priced. The meats are smoked with precision, more single malt Scotch than bourbon taste. Nothing sloppy, nothing rushed. Meats include Brisket, ribs, turkey, pulled pork, shrimp, sausages...Sides hold their own, desserts don't feel like an afterthought, and the drink selection is deeper than you'd expect (yes, Cactus Cooler is in the rotation) Three options for sauce (tangy, sweet, hot) Sliced of Genova bread and pickled onions Even the crowd feels curated in the best way. Not the usual DMV or Costco chaos, And the music? Tasteful. You might catch Shuggie Otis or Cymande playing at just the right volume. Smoke & Meat BBQ is what happens when a place actually respects the food, the space, and the people walking through the door. Don't sleep

As good as they are you would really think you would get just a few more. Onion rings on the other hand are huge and drinks are refillable. Parking lot is in the back as well as the entrance. Not the best location for huge parties and zero booths. Lots of tables and bar top.

I place my order for a rack of ribs for $30 to be picked up the next day which is July 4th. The ribs were amazing! They were tender but not fall off the bones. They were moist and juicy. I was given a sweet tangy tomato based sauce to dip the ribs in. Good looking Neil was there to greet me and give me the ribs! A must try if you are in the neighborhood.

WOW! THE CHICKEN IS FLAVORFUL & CRISPY!…read more Loved: * The chicken wings! ( seasoned perfectly and Crispy in the best way) * The Mac and cheese is very good! Needs Work: * Greens were just okay, they look like they had beef in them. ( I grew up with ham hawks or neckbones in my greens) I didn't really taste what I was looking for. *Yams didn't taste bad, but not good. Something was off.. I think there was too much nutmeg or cinnamon bc they are so dark. Definitely needs a revamp bc the way they look isn't inviting nor do they scream amazing as they are now. I will definitely be back for the chicken and the mac and cheese!!! Sooo good :)

We got there at 530pm and it hadn't gotten too busy at that point. Greeted and seated immediately. We usually don't do the hot pot side (we will try it some day) but the variety of meats were exactly what we normally order. We usually only do beef, but they have seafood, chicken and pork too. The salad and hot bar had quite a few options, and again I always defer to my favorites. Kim Chi, Pickled Daikon, etc etc. you'll have to check it out. Pretty big restaurant, feels spacious, and you're not right on top of your neighbor. We love that we can stay local and not have to travel to Elk Grove/Stockton Our server was friendly and attentive.
