The pulled pork is tender, but the real magic is in the impossibly tender tri tip, and the Ribs are great as well. The chicken sausage is juicy and sweet, and the Mac and Cheese is gooey, cheesy, and totally awesome. If you're trying to take a roadtrip, time it so you get to eat in Big Pine because this just might be the best stop up the 395!

on the way to tahoe, we stopped in big pine to get in my opinion one of the best bbq places in…read more"socal". line wrapped a bit, so be prepared for that, especially during peak snow seasons. but it took about 20-25 minutes to order and get our food. tri tip is extremely tender, smokey, flavorful. pairs perfectly with their spicy bbq sauce too. the bbq plate was also very solid, but the weakest was the pulled pork. coleslaw was bright, crisp and super refreshing after eating rich smokey meat. unfortunately the mac and cheese was ok. it wasn't bad, but as a bbq place you'd expect the sides to be just as good as the proteins, and I wish that was the case for the mac. overall I love this place, after a day trip to mammoth it's always satisfying to stop by and get a sandwich! smokers in the front and the smell of the wood burn just shows their dedication to smoking

AMAZING TEXAS-STYLE BBQ!…read more Holy Smoke Texas Style BBQ absolutely delivered! The meat was tender, juicy, smoky, and packed with flavor--exactly what great BBQ should taste like. You can tell they put real time and care into smoking their meats. The portions were generous, the food tasted fresh, and everything we tried was delicious. This is the kind of BBQ that has you thinking about your next visit before you've even finished eating! If you're craving authentic Texas-style BBQ, Holy Smoke is definitely worth the visit. Great food, great flavor, and a place we'll absolutely be coming back to! Highly recommend!

This was a quick lunch stop for us on the way to Mammoth…read more Food- 3 stars. Nothing was great but nothing was bad either. I would have preferred our food to be warmer/hot but it wasn't. It probably wouldn't have been out so fast if it was fresher. Service- Friendly service and the food came out pretty quick Ambiance- Just okay. A better choice of music would have been nice but overall nothing to write home about or to complain about.

Was hanging around Big Pine this weekend and tried Chuckwagon after seeing they had chicken wings…read moreon the menu. I got a dozen wings, 6 Buffalo and 6 bourbon maple. They were excellent. Each sauce was delicious and obviously made by the Chuckwagon, no Frank's Red Hot here. I thought their Buffalo sauce was especially good- spicy and tangy with a hint of sweetness. It's now 10pm as I write this and I'm finding myself craving more! I'll definitely be back.

I freaking love this place. It's a mandatory stop on the way home out of the Mammoth area. I've…read moregotten sandwiches here before and they're tasty, but the real star is their amazing fresh jerky. On my last stop I got the sweet and spicy turkey jerky and teriyaki beef jerky, fully intending that the $45 dollars I spent would last me snacks for at least a week. Let's just say that didn't happen and I didn't regret a second of my jerky induced mania. Two days of jerky bliss, but then the immediate wish I had another trip planned to buy more jerky.

My friend LOVES the burgers here, and to be fair--the burger was good!…read more The rest was an adventure. Apparently, you order first and THEN find a table--even with 20 empty tables staring at you. We learned this from a fellow customer who apparently promoted themselves to Assistant Seating Manager. Let's just say the explanation wasn't exactly friendly. Then there's the bar. Only about half seemed available for seating, giving me a little COVID-era flashback. I was looking around wondering, "Wait... are we still social distancing?" And if I want another beer, do I keep getting up and walking back to the bar? At that point I'm not drinking beer--I'm doing cardio with refreshments. We'd previously had an unfortunate bakery experience involving bugs and hair in our sandwiches, but everyone deserves another chance. Then I visited the bathroom. I was going to post a blurred picture, but honestly, I decided nobody needs to see that while scrolling through their feed. Let's just say whatever happened in that stall had somehow managed to cover just about everything. I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Overall: good burger, confusing setup, COVID-era seating vibes, and quite the collection of side quests. Order. Find table. Get scolded by the volunteer seating coordinator. Eat burger. Walk for beer. Visit bathroom. Question life choices.

We didn't get to meet the owner as he had someone covering for him when we arrived. The menu is quite simple. Unfortunately, they were out of the cornbread and potato salad. We ordered the coleslaw and the beans. The elk sausage is quite tasty, but had quite a kick to it. The brisket was good, but we thought it was a little on the dry side, but the sauce was nice. The coleslaw is good and the beans are delicious but they have quite a kick to them also. I let my husband eat them. We enjoyed our meal with a big salad from Vons.
