I was startled by the high quality of the BBQ at Smoke and Meat…read more I love BBQ and figured "why not?" when looking for a place to grab lunch in Stockton near the Haggin Art Museum. Had I known what was in store I might have made the trip just for the BBQ alone. The brisket is some of the best brisket I have ever had in my entire life. The Ribs were way above average. The Banana pudding was outstanding. The Coleslaw was fresh and tasty and I don't even like Coleslaw! A couple of notes, they charge like 30 cents a slice or something for white bread slices, no big deal, and the sauces are fine, but not out of this world - but who needs sauce when the meat is just that good? My wife really enjoyed their tangy sauce, so of the 3 on offer start there. The customer service is 6 out of 5 stars (the owner and staff made us feel like long time regulars) and the prices are very reasonable for the portions and quality. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some brisket at Smoke and Meat, but make sure you leave some for me.

The owner Don makes everyone feel like family and you can tell he has put his heart and soul into his business. This isn't just a BBQ place, they have incredible variety on their menu.

I highly recommend stopping in here and giving them a try, You won't be disappointed.

OK so I'm kinda obsessed with their BBQ sauces and fries! Sandwiches are pretty spot on. Loved the…read morepulled chicken sandwich. I was pretty bummed with the portion size of the fries. 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 :)

I've heard many good things about Taste of Bae, so I was extremely excited to try the food…read more I ordered the Large Strip Meal. It comes with five chicken strips, fries, and a drink. I added on the side of macaroni & cheese too. The tenders were piping hot and tasted so good with the BBQ sauce. The Kool-Aid drink was so fruity and refreshing. Finally, the fries were perfectly seasoned and crisp. The only downfall was the macaroni & cheese. It was extremely oily, and I couldn't enjoy it all the way. Overall, I wished the macaroni & cheese would've been better. I may come back to try other options, though.

Dining experience was good for a first time going. Our server was so patient with us, answering all…read moreour questions and walking us through the whole thing. We didn't realize how much of each thing they would send out when you picked what meats you wanted to order so we ended up having a lot of food waste we didn't intend for. We only liked like 2-3 types and the rest we weren't fans of so we will know better next time. Loved the buffet of all the options of sushi, fruit, veggies, etc. wasn't expecting that so that was a nice little pallet cleaner. And didn't expect the desserts either so that was fun. The dining was just excellent. Why I docked a star was for their bathroom. It was absolutely disgusting. I went into one stall and it was filthy from guests being lazy leaving toilet paper and other garbage on the floor but also what looked like poop on the seat and on the wall. The dispenser for the toilet covers was completely caked in dust in every stall. Dust everywhere in there so I'm concerned about how well the bathroom is actually cleaned if you ignore very thick dust all over. The walls were dingy, the floor was sticky everywhere.. i felt gross in there. I went into the bathroom roughly an hour later and I'd was still messy in there so they must not do regular bathroom checks like other restaurants do. We will still be back again cause the food was excellent otherwise, but their manager really needs to enforce better cleaning standards.

Ended up at K-Town KBBQ & Hot Pot after making a trip to pick up the SO from a car show in…read moreStockton, ironic I know. The car show happened to take place in the same parking lot as K-Town, so we just decided to have dinner here instead of sitting in the drive-thru line at In-N-Out. The inside is modernly lit with lots of wood motif and black. Oversized lightbulbs filled with faux flower petals hang from the ceiling. A random cartoon plays on the wall TV. For a weekday dinner bbq, we paid about $37 per person with no additional hot pot add-on. We got a good spread of drinks (they have boba!), but they are also an additional cost. The AYCE includes access to the buffet area, which has sushi (sashimi!), buffalo wings, seafood boil, a bunch of fried/breaded offerings, and all the sauces/accoutrements for both hotpot and kbbq. I was impressed by the short rib marinade here. The beef was meaty with a good texture. Some of the cubed meats were a little tough but could be due to the way we cooked it. The pork belly was sliced too thin for my liking (too bacony). We got the cheese sticks from the buffet and reheated them over the grill and made our own version of a Chili's Triple Dipper. Service was fine. We placed our orders with a guy and he would come around occasionally for a grill change and taking away plates. Between the two KBBQ AYCE I've been to in Stockton recently, I think K-Town wins. Overall, I came out stuffed and would definitely return.

It is more of a to-go than sit and eat there spot. The service was pretty quick. I ordered my food and got it right away. The next time I swing by, I'll try their tri-tip.
