Slick Fork BBQ - Delicious brisket, such a huge portion...I enjoyed three meals! - Barbeque Near Me - Hughson, California

Slick Fork is a little off the beaten path but so worth the extra few miles to get there because the bbq is A-1 delicious! We went to try it out on a Thursday afternoon and we were pleasantly surprised at how nice the location is considering they only have outdoor dining. We pulled up and it was so clean outside. The tables were nicely stocked with napkins and the staff were very friendly while helping us decide. We got the brisket bowl, sausages and Mac and cheese and they were all tasty and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were also very generous and we had leftovers to take home! We were very happy to find a good bbq place in the area and will certainly visit again when close by. read more

Had Slick Fork cater my party and everybody loved the chicken thighs and brisket. Very good customer service. Fair prices. Overall, it was a great experience doing business with them. I will definitely be back for more in the near future. read more

Slick Fork is Bomb! I love getting the chicken with the beans when I come here & it is so delicious! My husband gets the tri-tip sandwich and it is so delicious as well! They have there 'secret sauce' which is really good and adds more flavor to the food. If I were you I Would definitely come check it out and support this business. Yay for small business! 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

We bought the huge portion sized special which I can't remember the name of hahaha. It was a family sized spread that had something delightful for each member of our family! The brisket was my favorite and I usually don't like brisket. This meal came with bbq chicken, brisket, pulled pork, ribs and all kinds of side that were also to die for with flavors. If you are in this part of town this is a MUST stop. They close when they sell out so get there early or call first. We were trying to figure out how we could fly some home with us lol. read more

Right off Santa Fe Ave in Hughson. I was going to hit up the Tri tip sandwich however a young man suggested the Brisket, outstanding suggestion. I'll be back to try tri tip and chicken. Seating outside only. Many to go orders flew by as I devoured my sandwich. The name itself hooked me but the food will bring me back.. read more

Slick Fork BBQ - Brisket Sandwich Loaded with brisket, tangy sauce, pickles and onions (I opted out) on the softest potato bun. - Barbeque Near Me - Hughson, California

Excellent meat!!!! Sooooo good!!!! Best around. Convenient location. Friendly service. I would of given them 5 stars except I would prefer some different side dishes to go along with it. But you cannot beat their brisket or tri tip. Excellent BBQ sauce also! read more

Food is great but charging customers 3% "Customer Service Fee" is a deal breaker! Never eating here again!

Finally got to eat here today! I started to walk inside when they told me, it's 'outside seating only'. So I go to the outside window that should say 'order here', but it just looks like a window that doesn't open. The guy slides it open, is very friendly and takes my order. I ordered 1/2 pound of brisket, some Cole Slaw and a bottled water. After a few minutes, they bring it out to the picnic table I was sitting at. There are three large wooden picnic tables with umbrellas for shade. There's a few bottles of sauce, some rolls of paper towels and plastic utensils near the order window. The brisket was nicely smoked, but had a ton of fat on it. (well maybe just a 1/4 lb of fat?) I cut most of the fat away and devoured the lean pieces straight away. They had a nice smoke ring on them and, pretty much, melted in my mouth! The Cole Slaw was 'very' wet and was nothing to write home about. I was still a bit hungry and wanted to try out more of their fare, so I went back and ordered the rib plate. This comes with 3 St Louis style pork ribs. These were excellent, nicely smoked and almost fully rendered. The only thing I did not like was, the membrane was still on the inside, but it was pretty easy to pull off. My side dish, on the rib plate, was Mac n Cheese, which was very creamy and had great flavor. There were some coagulated chunks in it, but I just sampled a couple of bites. They definitely have their 'smoked meat mojo' going on here. Their huge smoker, around back, looks like a repurposed huge propane storage tank! Conspicuously absent from the menu was BBQ Baked Beans? I'll definitely go back to sample their other meats. I wish they had a 'sampler plate' so I could have a taste of everything in one visit! Oh well... read more

WOW!! The meat was SO tender, the bbq sauce was out of this world with the perfect blend of spicy and sweet! Thank you Slick Fork BBQ for catering our luncheon. Everyone agreed, it was delicious! Sharon read more

Wow! OMG Amazing!!!!!!!! I am a bbq Snob. This is true Texas style bbq done right! The brisket has the perfect bark, with the perfect smoke ring. They use a good pickle, fresh onions and the sauce(not needed) compliments so well! Same with the pulled pork, perfect bark, nice smoke flavor that compliments the pork all while being tender and moist! Slick Fork puts that guy in Turlock to shame! read more

Ribs! Get those ribs- those juicy, flavorful, fall-off-the-bone-and-slide-down-your-throat DELICIOUSNESS ribs. Yum! While you're there, grab some brisket too. We did. Along with some beans, cornbread, Mac n cheese and potato salad- and there was nothing left but sauce all over our faces! I understand they sell out, so plan ahead! I'm already craving more... read more

I ordered some ribs and brisket for the Super Bowl. I'd heard all the rave reviews, but it wouldn't be the first time a place received glowing reviews only to not live up to the hype. This one does. OH. MY. GOD. The brisket was insane! No utensils needed, it simply fell apart in your hand, and melted in your mouth. We couldn't shovel the stuff into our mouths fast enough. Service was perfect; I called my order in ahead of time and it was ready for pick-up at the exact time, despite the fact that they were obviously busy (there was a line of people ordering food.) If you haven't tried this place yet, do so immediately! read more

This place is a small place for food to eat outside or take-out. Their ribs and brisket is the best! They are open until it's all gone and they are a favorite to so many people who travel by there in Hughson as well as their mobile truck on the corner of Coffee and Scenic in Modesto. read more

No better spot in the 209 for good smoked BBQ. I would eat here almost everyday for lunch if I could

Delicious food. I've eaten at some pretty incredible BBQ restaurants in the south and Midwest, including multiple that places in the World BBQ Championships. This place does it right. I've tried a lot of BBQ places in CA trying to find good brisket. Here, I've found it. I got the tri tip and my fiancé got the brisket - the brisket was incredible. The tri tip was good, but the brisket was so good it overshadowed it. It was a large potion of meat on the sandwich, and super good. I had the cowboy corn side and it was addictive. We finished it off with the peach cobbler which was so delicious and buttery, I'm sure Paula Deen would have approved. Overall- very delicious and glad Hughson is upping their restaurant game. read more

Slick Fork BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Hughson, California

As soon as I heard about this new BBQ place in Hughson I knew I'd have to try it ASAP. I tried to eat here last weekend, but they were already sold out. Today my luck would be better! Keep in mind their hours are from 11am until they sell out Thursday through Sunday, also all seating is outdoors. (I was told you should arrive before 2pm for the full menu) I had the rib plate (3 ribs, and 1 side for $10) instead they gave me 4 ribs and they were delicious! I chose potato salad as my side, it was a little on the plain side but still very good. I added "momma's cornbread" for $1.50 which was moist, the perfect texture, and flavor. Additionally when I saw peach cobbler on the menu I didn't have the strength, or will power to resist the temptation. It too was very good, and although I ate too much I'm glad I had it. The employees (possibly the owner too) that I interacted with were friendly and seemed to be genuinely proud the food they made and wanted to make sure we enjoyed our meal. I will definitely be back for more ribs, and to try some of the other menu items. Menu items include: Ribs Tri-tip Brisket Chopped Beef Sausage Pulled pork Baked beans Cloeslaw Potato salad Cowboy corn Peach cobbler read more

Delicious pulled pork, cornbread to die for (dip it in their signature bbq sauce, yummy beans, and of course brisket.

This bbq is soooo good!!!! Its a bit pricey but so worth it. The guy who rang us is was really nice. Its outside seating but very clean and they had umbrellas for the tables. Will definitely be back for more once i walk off my full belly. read more

So so good!!! We drive 45 minutes just to have good BBQ and it has been good every single time highly recommended you must try it you won't regret it!! read more

This food is fantastic. I was looking for some real smoked options and SlickFork succeeded. Ribs, brisket and pulled pork was absolutely delicious. Can't wait to order a sandwich and try the beans next time. read more

Some of the best bbq around Cali I've had !! Top quality smoked meats ! Corn bread is bomb too !

OKAY love the cornbread!!! honestly the cornbread is my favorite thing here. Second is the mac n cheese, i like getting the brisket bowl. Their meat is super filling, a bit pricey i will say tho. All i have to say is try out the cornbread and buy a lot of it LOL. read more

Too bad I can't give it more stars.... you have to try this place, it's worth your patience, while you're standing in the line, in the heat/cold/rain/snow smelling that bbq/smoke and watch other folks around you devour the plate filled with all kinds of meat That's right.... Go get it..... it's gooooood!! read more

My new favorite barbecue spot in the 209!!!! I am usually not a fan of barbecue however SLICK FORK has mastered making perfect barbecue. The meat is so flavorful and seasoned to perfection with the perfect amount of sauce. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich with a side of baked beans and my boyfriend ordered the ribs. The ribs melt in your mouth, they are not over cooked whatsoever like most bbq places tend to do. The tri-tip is so soft and easy to chew! Their berry & peach cobblers are so delicious. The owners and staff are all very attentive and friendly. They really care about their customers and make sure to provide high quality bbq food. PS I love the design of this restaurant! Reminds me of a beautiful desert. read more

We ordered the Little Hos to go for 5 big eaters. I also got 1/2 lb of brisket, just in case. We had left overs of everything except the yummy cornbread. Very quick quick service, delicious food. read more

Guy who took our order on 10/8 was horrible. Husband greeted him with hi how are you and they guy didn't respond. When food was ready I thanked the guy didn't say a single word. Obviously the guy hates his job. read more

Based on previous reviews and word of mouth, I felt comfortable ordering 3 lbs. of very expensive sliced brisket. I wanted to have plenty of leftovers. Of the entire 3 lbs. there were two distinguishable slices. The rest was a mass of small mixed pieces and fat - more like pulled pork but with less consistency. It looked more like pan scrapings than actual meat. It was obviously very well done. It was also way over salted and due to the fact that the "slices" had fallen apart, the saltiness permeated every bit of meat. It may be edible on a sandwich with condiments, but not as a stand alone meat. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to meat - it has to be pretty bad for me to take the time to comment. I gave them two stars on the off chance that they were having a bad day, but that brisket wasn't worthy of even one star. read more

I tried the Ribs here and they were really good. If you like your ribs with BBQ sauce, I would order a side of BBQ. The ribs were very well cooked and fell off of the bone as expected. read more

Melt in your mouth good. You won't want to miss this experience! The brisket. Just do it.

Food is perfect. I'm really not much of a meat person, especially red meat. The tri tip and brisket just fall apart and has a delicious flavor. The sides are one of a kind. Cowboy corn, potato salad, mac & cheese. He catered for a get-together after my grandma passed away. He seemed to fit me in to an already busy Saturday for his business. read more

Slick Fork BBQ - Tri-tip, beans, chicken, green salad and potato salad hidden underneath - Barbeque Near Me - Hughson, California

Tri tip and brisket were both incredibly over cooked, really disappointing as I've been here once before and thought the food was pretty good. Hoping this is just a one-off, but the tri tip tasted closer to pot roast than it did tri tip, and the brisket was even worse. On the flip side, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming and the service was very quick read more

The brisket and ribs were great! The meat was cooked well and the flavors were excellent. Highly recommend this place! read more

I had the brisket sandwich. The meat is flavorful and good just wish they would have something else in it besides just the meat and bread. I was left still kinda hungry and it was pricey. read more

Great to have a local spot with delicious bbq. Ribs, tri-tip, pulled pork, it's all good. read more

Amazing. Unfortunately we came late in the day but they were able to accommodate us with what was still on hand, even then it was still extremely good. Maybe I was just hungry, but I had lunch not even 4 hours prior. I tried the Tri-tip, brisket, chicken, and ribs, all of it was good to great. Let me explain. The chicken was the first thing I had and it we the good. It might have been my least favorite thing but that doesn't mean I'm not ordering it again. I liked the chicken, it tasted like BBQ chicken I might have smoked at home. That said I didn't really catch a wood flavor and I forgot to ask what it was the food was cooked over (oak, post oak, pecan, chips, pellets, split logs...). Next would be the Brisket and I have zero complaints about it except that I wanted more. Again this the end of the day and Slick Fork closes when the food runs out, much like Franklin's BBQ in Austin Texas. The owner did mention that his food was Texas style and me being a Californian have been deprived of in Texas real Texas BBQ. That said this was this sh*t. The brisket had bark, smoke ring and was moist the way God intended. Next time I go I'll have to request some flat, some point, and some burnt ends. Next up and this is more of a tie between 1st and 2nd place is the Tri tip, it had killed bark, a huge ring that would make any home BBQ chief blush and great I mean great taste. Finally the piece de resistance the bbq pork ribs, they were super good, the flavor of the meat really shined here and were not over powered by seasoning that I'm guessing was Salt and Pepper just like central Texas. There is a common misconception that "fall off the bone" ribs are the best but those are over cooked, these ribs hand the proper tug with a great amount of flavorful meat in every bite. I'm going again, next time I'm calling ahead and bringing the whole family to experience the best BBQ I ever had at a restaurant. P.S. we also had Mac and cheese, cornbread and some other sides I spit with my uncle but never got to taste because I'm skipping carbs and sugars for the near future, but he seemed to dig it. read more
