    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.

    Excellent food with fast friendly service.. Casual outdoor seating but we're a jacket in the winter because it gets cold out here in Hughson. I love the ribs and the spicy cowboy corn . Never can go wrong with the cornbread either...I llike to heat it in my airfryer for a lil crunch oon the outside.

    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!

    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.

    Brisket Mac, Chicken with potato salad.

    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.

    Best in the business around here! Everything is good, but be warned that no other tri-tip will live up to theirs.

    SHELLEY SAVES THE DAY! When we arrived for Mother's Day, we…read morewere initially treated rather rudely by a young gentleman named Matt, who told us we did not have a reservation when we know we did. We had to regroup and were headed to another place when we got a call back from The Fruityard stating that they had our reservation down under a different name because it was written down wrong and could not be deciphered. Matt was very rude to us at the beginning when we checked in a very condescending tone. He should definitely not be THR person who greets guests when they check in as his demeanor is deplorable! What saved the day for us was our server, Shelley, whose constant attention and sense of humor were fantastic! Her menu suggestions were all spot on, our water glasses never got under half full and she brought smiles to all of our faces. We all enjoyed our menu choices, and the salad bar was fantastic as always!

I don't like clam chowder, but since it was Friday, that is all they had. So, I got it for my son. I really wish restaurants would serve more than one type of soup on Friday, if they're going to have clam chowder, as it is my least favorite. The lasagna was delicious, however, I thought the price was very high, and they charged me a fee for a to go order: $1.50. For a total of $27.50!! Not a bargain. They were packed. The parking lot and inside the restaurant were full! It was a Friday night. They gave me my order pretty fast, and the hostess was friendly. The ambiance is beautiful outside. They have ducks, hens, and roosters running free. I love to feed the birds, it is my favorite part of going to The Fruit Yard.

    Wow! Didn't have…read moretime to sit in so we ordered to go. The food did not disappoint. It's a little out of the way but so worth it. We got 2 combination plates. The goat curry & jerk chicken and the oxtail & jerk chicken. Both come with a side of rice and plantains. The goat curry had a little spice but it was so good! Fall off the bone and so much flavor. The oxtail was delicious. Also super tender and fall off the bone. The chicken thigh was cooked really well. Service was great. Owner is very friendly and kitchen looked immaculate. Looking forward to going back and trying other things.

    This was my first visit to Cari Blue. I went during lunch. We ordered the oxtails, jerk chicken,…read moreand curry goat. I was with a friend so we got two plates and shared. We also got the corn festival. I thought everything tasted great and the flavors melded well together. I'm not a fan of overly spicy food, so the spice level was perfect in my opinion. The meat was fall off the bone tender. I ended up getting a plate to go for my mom (pictured: oxtails with jerk chicken) and she said it was amazing as well. I also ordered a side of macaroni and cheese, which had a nice non-traditional flavor profile. Abel the owner is very nice and openly shared how the restaurant came to be. It was fun hearing his story. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for something different here in Modesto.
