This is my third or 4th trip to Chucks. I am trying to order something different every time I go!…read more I also go at different times of the day, and of the week. The service is always excellent and down home friendly. The atmosphere is homey and welcoming always! The tables are always clean and the food is just mouth watering good!!!!! Today I had a plate of boneless ribs with two sides: potato salad and rice pilaf. My daughter had tri tip sandwich with fries and hickory smoked beans Plate. The meat tender, juicy, and fall apart delicious! Everything is just homemade delicious! I think about it when I am working! Cooking! All the time! It was noon time, so they were pretty busy, with take out orders as well as dine-in. If you have not been you must go try some BBQ, soon! Happy eating at Chuck's!

This place is small and when they get busy, it gets loud in here! They do have outdoor seating, but…read morenot the most comfy. During our visit they were out of a lot of items and only had tri-tip, boneless ribs, and pulled pork. I was bummed because I love burnt ends. I went with the boneless ribs, baked beans, and coleslaw. The boneless ribs were delicious! Super tender, juicy, and slathered in a tangy BBQ sauce. My son loved the ribs as well. I tried my wife's tri-tip and it was just ok. The sides were also really good, with my favorites being the coleslaw, beans, and mac n cheese. For me, coleslaw is a staple for any good BBQ spot and Chuck's is spot on. Plus their mac n cheese is super creamy and fave for the whole table. I'd suggest calling in your order, in the morning to make sure that you'll get access to their full meaty menu.

It was one of those brutal Fresno summer days where the steering wheel doubles as a branding iron…read moreand just standing in the sun feels like a cardio workout. I was walking around the River Park Farmers Market when I spotted a line forming at SAP BBQ. I've been tryna find them for a while since I follow them on IG. Normally a long line at a farmers market means one of two things: people know something I don't, or everyone collectively made a bad decision. Thankfully, it was the first one. I jumped in line and by the time I got to the front I had already worked up an appetite and probably lost half a pound in sweat. I ordered the smoked pork belly with sticky rice, brisket, sausage, mac and cheese, and potato salad. Basically enough food to make my doctor shake his head in disappointment. Let's start with the pork belly. Good lord. Smoky, rich, perfectly rendered, with those beautiful caramelized edges that make you immediately start calculating how many years of your life you're willing to trade for another order. The sticky rice was the perfect sidekick, soaking up all that porky goodness. The brisket was legit. Thick slices with a beautiful smoke ring, juicy throughout, and enough bark to keep things interesting without overpowering the meat. Every bite had that melt-in-your-mouth texture that separates good BBQ from people just throwing meat near smoke and hoping for the best. The sausage had a nice snap when you bit into it and was packed with flavor. No dry sausage here. The mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and exactly what you want alongside smoked meat. The potato salad was solid too, cool and refreshing enough to balance out the richness of everything else. The servings were kinda small for these but it's all good. Ok the sauce. They give you this little Container of Lao sauce that goes really well with the meat. It had a beautiful flavor. By the end of the meal I was sitting there in the heat, completely stuffed, questioning my life choices but in the best possible way. If you're at the River Park Farmers Market and see a line at SAP BBQ, do yourself a favor and get in it. Some lines are a waste of time. This one is an investment. Would absolutely come back. Probably sooner than my waistline would prefer. Follow me on IG @hellafoodtho

It was a quick interaction but I appreciate any great customer service. I got a 12 piece that came with veggies, ranch and 2 sauce options. I chose to go with lemon pepper and atomic. Lemon pepper is one of my go to for wing sauces/seasoning and you could really taste the lemon pepper, some places are shy on the seasoning. The atomic had great flavor but was lacking in the spiciness, I think it could use a little more heat. The wings were cooked perfectly and very flavorful. I would like to come back to try their other sauces. Looking forward to try their garlic Parmesan. I'd like to also mention that I love the fact that they take tap pay, usually small mom and pop shops don't take tap to pay, so that is a plus.

I had the pulled pork sandwich with a side of yummy coleslaw. The sandwich came with several single serving size containers of bbq sauce. The pulled pork was very tender, moist and smoked deliciously. Soft hoagie roll. The bbq sauce was very flavorful and not spicy which is how I like it. I loved the coleslaw because it wasn't too mayonnaisey, more of a subtle vinegar flavor. My son ordered the brisket with collard greens which he says, you can't truly be a bbq restaurant without collard greens. He loved them and the brisket was tender and lean. His husband ordered a tri tip sandwich with the Mac n cheese along with a made to order Blackberry Lemonade. They both loved their meals. We all agreed we'd return for another meal. Tge desserts looks delicious! Bread pudding, peach cobbler and a couple other choices. Like I said, another day to indulge in dessert. It is outdoor seating only on picnic tables. You could see the owner and his assistant working hard to prepare the meals. They had a steady stream of guests. Good location with parking very close by.

It is a gas station parking lot so the ambiance is found at home. I was disappointed with the Mac and Cheese - essentially warmed Velveeta, and the biscuits - both seem to be fried and not baked, but not as tasty as a good fritter or hush puppy. The honey biscuits seemed to have fake blueberries in them for some reason. The potato wedges were very good.

The girl helped me and the guy said a fresh batch had just come out. I ordered the 8 pieces of legs and thighs. We didn't eat until about an hour later, but the coating was still crispy. The seasoning was OK, but not spectacular where I'd have to have it again. The chicken was thoroughly cooked, but not dried out. A perk of ordering dark meat. The area where the chicken is prepared and sold in the mini mart was neat and clean. Might try them again...
