The owner is a really great dude, wonderful service, super nice and slapped together a plate for us and it was bomb AF Chicken, brisket, beans, rolls, coleslaw, and potato salad. Every single item was on point and tasted like a million bucks. If y'all remember Dickies BBQ Spicy Sauce, this is the new place for BBQ, could drink this stuff. Had a nice little bench outside to sit and enjoy the fresh air and fresh food, will definitely be back. Always catching. Whiff of this place to and from Stan State, most definitely worth a try or twelve! read more

I really wanted to be wowed. I really wanted the meal to be juicy and delicious. I really wanted to rave about a hidden gem in Houghson. Had the little hoss meal that was 70 bucks for some dry salty ribs, dry pulled pork, completely dry chicken, and some tender brisket that seems like they dipped in salt. I don't accustom to eat and drink a beverage, I usually wait until after for my drink but in this case, every bite had to be followed with a drink because of how dry everything was. The only decent tasting thing was the Mac n cheese. Please do better Slick Fork. read more

Best at brisket! This is an order at the window and eat on the patio place. This is perfect Central Valley Charm and top notch service. Nice theme and decor. Come early or you get stuck in the heat. Orrrrr you end up not getting anything. The hours of operation are hard to nail down. Basically show up at 11 or you might not get food. Also days are the end of the week. The Brisket Sandwich - If this was the only thing I ordered this bbq would have been a 7 out of 5 stars. Hands down the best brisket I've ever had. Cowboy Corn - good corn, kinda like elote. I could have eaten it with chips. Needs a little more spice. Corn bread - warm and delicious. We got an edge. Ooohhh ahhhh. A little crisped. Definitely should be served with butter and honey though. Combo - Chicken - good seasoning, better with the sauce. Pulled pork - not salted. Definitely needs sauce when you enjoy. Mac and cheese - muah. Chef kiss. I'm not a big fan of mac and this stuff had me tempted to take it all for myself. Potato salad - excellent flavor good care. Red potatoes. Cooked to perfection. They definitely need to be cut into a little smaller pieces and boiled with a little saltier water. They were large bites that the dressing couldn't get all the way around. BBQ Sauce - I loved it. Thought it was great. With that being said I need to acknowledge it was spicy. My wife was on the edge and I would serve it to the kids. I'll be back! read more

Glad I found this place. Great food. Brisket was tender without falling apart. Meat was tasty without the sauce. Was sad they were out of pickles that day. A must try. #spicemeister approved. read more

Guy at the window was very personable. Made sure I didn't get anything spicy. We had 3 ribs. A sausage, A tritip sandwich, brisket and pulled pork and corn bread. Sides were Mac and cheese, baked beans and cowboy corn. Everything was great. Serving size was decent. Cost was $118 with tip. Worth it. Only thing to make it better would be soda refills. Corn bread was amazing!!!!! We will be back! read more

Let me tell you I love love there brisket on Mac and cheese. You have to eat outside. There are no inside eating here and make sure you go early cause they sell out fast and these guys are serious about their barbecue and it is good. read more

I'm very picky when it comes to BBQ and all I can say is that this place is pretty dam good. I have had the pleasure to work with Adam and his catering team to cater some amazing food for my company, I don't think I heard one negative thing about the food. We have gotten Tri tip, turkey, chicken, ham, sausages, vegetarian dishes and much more from Slick Fork and you can't go wrong. If you're looking for great quality food , amazing service and overall just a wonderful experience, contact them! read more

The hours of operation should be fixed on the app. Drive all the way over to this spot to find it closed down.

CATERING! When my Hughsonite brother passed away, there was only one choice to cater the reception for his memorial service in Modesto - Slick Fork BBQ. If I could give 10-stars out of 5, I would. Adam Bradley was phenomenal to work with. And, the food was, as I've experienced over the years, top notch! Everyone raved about the tri-tip, tender chicken, mac & cheese, potato salad, etc. We expected 225 people, but 325 showed up. Thanks to Slick Fork's generous portions, we had plenty of food...people went back for seconds & even took food home! Adam & the team kept the line moving with precision & pleasant demeanors. Your next wedding, birthday party, corporate event, or even memorial, call Adam at Slick Fork BBQ. They. Are. The. Best. read more

Holy moly. So incredibly delicious! I hope they open the Ranch Hand again. Zero complaints! Zero!

Best BBQ in town! Adam and his staff are always the best. Please go check it out if you haven't yet. Always looking forward to go back!

Ordered the Chicken plate with Potato salad for the girlfriend, she really enjoyed it. I got the Brisket Mac and it was super delicious. The meat was super tender, well seasoned, smothered in bbq sauce. The Mac was cheesy and gooey. It hit the spot. The fresh onion and slices of pickles pair great with the dish. 10/10 would order again. read more

Great bbq. Awsome service. Great ambiance. Fast cook. There is not a lot of wait time. read more

This place serves great bbq brisket, Cowboy Corn, and corn bread! I wish they were open more hours.

To be sitting at the window for a first time customer and no one to greet me or take my order just standing while talking in a kitchen and customers sitting outside waiting to be served is not ok I didn't even get a chance to try the food because no one took my order read more

The outdoor seating was ok. We sat on the backless benches and utilized the umbrella to avoid too much sun. The inside was not open at the time. Although, I was able to use the restroom. It was clean, but they ran out of paper towels. The customer service was fine, nothing stood out (good or bad). We ordered some food to eat there and some to go. I liked the corn (it was a mixture of items, not plain corn. Even though I am picky, I actually liked it.) The corn is tied with mac & cheese for first in my book. We also ordered sausage, brisket, and potato salad. I wanted to try more sides than what came with the meal. My friend ordered a lot to go. It was pretty expensive in my opinion. I think I spent around 80+ dollars. It was mostly because the meal deals didn't include exactly what I wanted. We haven't been back since, but then again we don't travel to this area that often. I would probably try them again, but not order as much. read more

Been meaning to try them but haven't had a chance. Hands down the best! They did cater an event at my daughter's school. Had the chicken, tri-tip, beans and potato salad and everything was delicious! They also had a variety of cookies so so yummy! read more

Slick Fork BBQ - Tri tip and chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Hughson, California

I got the chicken my husband got the tri-tip. Both were very good. Quite pricey, but good for an occasional treat.

Brruuuuuhhh!! I drove half an hour to try this place on a recommendation of a friend. Glad I did! The most tender brisket I've EVER had. Super juicy and moist! We all know fat is flavor and between the seasoning and some fat it was most definitely packed with flavor and just melted in your mouth! Sandwiched between what I believe is a warm brioche bun, mayo, bbq sauce, crisp onions and pickles, was absolutely phenomenal! Ordered it with a side or corn bread and Mac and cheese, which complemented each other perfectly. 10/10. Will most certainly be back! read more

Absolutely amazing!! I hired Slick Fork BBQ to cater for my wedding and they did not disappoint. The food was phenomenal and the service was on point. My family has high standards for great BBQ and Slick Fork has amazing chicken and tri tip, not dry and super flavorful, cornbread was gone, and they did not skimp on the Mac and cheese. My husband and I have been to Slick Fork before and were so happy and excited to know that they catered. Would highly recommend to visit their locating and cater from them. They will not disappoint! read more

This place was amazing and the people working there were very friendly in the food. Was off the hook good. I had ribs, macaroni and cheese, baked beans and cornbread and it all tastes like it came from the south read more

Really good bbq I highly recommend the brisket Their bbq sauce is really good also give them a try read more

Been there twice this month Oct 2024. Enjoyed the brisket, ribs, chicken, cowboy corn. Didn't really enjoy the pulled pork. I gotta try more stuff. read more

Delicious BBQ! Always enjoy getting a mix of the different meats, everything is great! Friendly and quick. BBQ is expensive everywhere, but at least here you get good food for your money! read more

Very disappointed with this business. Last few times, the BBQ has been deplorable. The ribs have been gritty like they have been dropped in dirt. The Tri-Tip tasted reheated. The chicken is decent but not worth the trouble. For sides the potato salad was rubbery and the macaroni was dry. It's sad that I would rather go to Chili's for their ribs over this place. read more

You're in the mood for tasty bbq and a lot of it this place is for you. Quick service so you can get back to work. Ask for extra napkins or bring your own towel! read more

Amazing brisket and cowboy corn chowder! Great sandwiches and great for parties, too.

The brisket was sooooooo over cooked and dry. We threw out our order when we got home after we started eating because it was that inedible. The only reason I am giving two stars is because the cowboy corn was delicious. Otherwise it would be a 1 star. Never going back. read more

Great good, poor customer service. On Yelp, the hours show they are open until 5pm on Sundays, and on Google, the hours show they are open until 4pm on the same day. I call at 1:56pm, telling them we're on the way and asked if they still have food, understanding sometimes they run out. The person responds, stating they are very slow at the moment, and will certainly have food available until 3:30pm. Once we arrive, just before 3pm, the blinds were closed and we we're turned away, as the person opened the door to say they're all sold out. Then a person in the back says "they should've called"! How unprofessional! You should be open when you say you're open and account for the right amount of inventory. Further, it makes so sense! If you want to grow your business, have better, more accommodating hours and operate in the spirit of excellence. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Don't gaslight your customers. Won't be coming back, unfortunately. read more

Best real Q around. They are cooking it there not heating it out of a box. Good simple food is hard to find

I just stopped by for the first time! Amazing customer service, The cashier was so kind and helpful. I bought the rib plate with cowboy corn, baked beans, homemade potato salad, Mac & cheese and corn bread. The flavors are out of this world. Amazing. Hands down thee BEST BBQ and sides I've ever had. You can tell the passion and love that is cooked with here! Highly recommended and can not wait to go back read more

Friendly staff and excellent food. A great menu, with Lots of Coices. I highly recommend the Brisket Tacos read more

Tri tip sandwich was delicious! Lots of meat, but still kind of a small sandwich for the price. $58 for three of us to eat, and we only had one sandwich each. No sides or drinks. I'd definitely go there again, but at this price, it has to be a special treat. Service was friendly and fast. read more

I went to this place for lunch today. The ribs are great. I would recommend it to anyone. The service and price was also great. I'm only in the area when working but will definitely be back. read more

We came here because my husband had been wanting to try it, by the time we got here half the menu was sold out. We got the ribs, pulled pork needed the sauce (which is really good), beans, and mac n cheese. The meats were good, beans were just okay, and mac n cheese was pretty dry and lacked any taste/seasonung. Maybe just an off day. read more

Amazing brisket and worth a 45 minute drive to enjoy...huge portion, enjoyed for lunch the next two days!!! We will be back. Went for the first time a few weeks ago and heading back today #nextbesttotexas read more

Some of the best BBQ I have ever eaten, bar none. They got the meat down to a science; so freakin good. The sides? So so. 5 star meat with 2 star sides. I bring the potato salad home and add pickles and mustard. Beans are good. Oh, did I mention the meat? Slaw is kinda bland too, but the meat... read more

This was a lucky find! We were in the area and needed last minute food to take to a potluck. We found this on Yelp and ordered a slightly modified Big Hoss. We were able to try the ribs, pulled pork, brisket, tri-tip and chicken. It was all delicious and we will definitely try again! read more
