Just driving by and smelled the delicious smoking meat. I had to stop and try their bbq st louise ribs. They had chicken, but I wanted to try their ribs. 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. read more

Best ribs I have had in Stockton. Every rib was so meaty and delicious. Huge pieces of meat and not much fatty pieces, thankfully! Really good seasoning on every piece we bit in to. The potato salad was so good and great flavors, perfect combo to eat with our ribs. We also got a tri-tip sandwich but it was a bit dry, BBQ sauce was a quick and delicious fix. My husband liked it and ate it all. Neil is just like you see on social media, wild and funny. He is a blunt and outspoken man so beware if you're soft lol. It's worth it for some of the best ribs you can find. read more

This joint is one of the best BBQ spots I've tried in Stockton. Simple delicious menu. Great sides - loved the beans and potato salad. The meat was tender and juicy (had half rack of ribs and the $20.00 plate which included the beans and potato salad - great value!) and to top it off Neil was so nice and friendly and made us feel at home while waiting for our to go order. You have to try this place! read more

Neil is one cool dude, this time around the ribs were awesome! He had free cold bottled Modelo beer, on the house! The ribs were absolutely delish! Cooked just right, tender, juicey, and the perfect amount of seasoning! I guess there are some good days and some bad days when it comes to his cooking because today was a totally different experience, thanks Neil! read more

Worth it! Should absolutely visit if you have the chance. Some of the best ribs I've had to date

Amazing barbecue joint operated by one of the most animated and passionate restaurateurs Neil Amos. I had the tri tip sandwich the other half ordered a rack of ribs. I highly recommend this joint to anyone with a taste for authentic barbecue. read more

Neil is the man! BBQ is kicking!!!! Stop in it's a destination!!! Definitely one of a kind that guy!!

I seen all the reviews and a friend also recommended this place. I really wanted it to be exceptional, unfortunately it wasn't. Neil is a very nice guy and I like to frequent independent businesses. I think that's why I gave him 3 stars. I ordered 2 steak sandwiches and they came with a small container of bbq sauce with two slices of bread. There was no lettuce or tomatoes. Steaks were a bit tough, definitely no comparison to the Graduate. I also wanted to try their ribs. Again, I really wanted them to be good. Unfortunately they were not good, they were dry and charred. Really hard to taste flavor of the meat when the Burt/charred flavor is overwhelming. Good luck Neil, hope this was just an off day. read more

I was super happy I decided to stop. My friend and I were out and passed by and thought it looked cool, on the way back we stopped and we're not disappointed I had the brisket sandwich and a hot link and I had the food before I was able to even pay they were so quick, the food itself was so tender and delicious. Very simple but made with love and you can taste it read more

Quick service, super tasty food. I went for two all beef links with their bbq sauce. Only reason I didn't take a pic is because I was so hungry‍. a nice environment to eat with friends. Give it a try! read more

My Family and I are from San Jose and were visiting my Aunt and wanted some BBQ so we found this place. Walked up to this place and was greeted by the owner like we were Family. We ordered some chicken and tri-tip sandwich and it was off the hook!!! They have these big bbq's outside that they were cooking on so you know it's real bbq and not cooked in a oven!! We didn't wait long for the food and the owner even asked us if we wanted a beer, we passed but he offered a shot of whiskey so my Sister bad ass as she is took him up on his offer!!! She said it was some smooth whiskey...lol...They were playing some old School oldies and music which made us feel like we were at a Family bbq....We left satisfied and thanked the owner for his hospitality. If for some reason the owner reads this, we were the ladies from East Side San Jose that stopped by!!!! We will definitely come through next time we are in town!!! read more

I got to get up there soon ! The best ! Neil is one cool cat, you'll laugh your ass of, and he don't pull any punches trust me, we go way back. read more

Terrible, racist owner who wasn't wearing a mask and got into our faces, kept using the N word, and made multiple vile comments. Including "every white man's dream is to have 'a black' working for him". Surprised he's still in business, let alone how he has decent reviews. PS. The food could have in no way made the trip worth it, but it was absolute garbage and was tossed, on top of everything else just makes this an overall terrible establishment. read more

Great Ribs down home enviroment and good conversation. Other than that sit down and have a drink.
