“I’ve had bbq coast to coast. I consider myself a bit of a pro judge without really being one. This is in the top 10% of places I’ve been.\n\nThe location was a touch sketchy, having not been to Modesto ever, I’m not sure if it’s the neighborhood or the travel to it but something felt odd.\n\nThe restaurant itself was clean and inviting, the staff was super friendly and helpful picking out our meals.\n\nThe food itself was pretty tasty. They did break my cardinal rule for bbq though. The food came pre sauced. Luckily the sauce was good. The meat was tender, and the portion was huge for the price. The sides were tasty too. By far the tri tip was the winner. It’s mostly a regional thing, but places that do it right are hard to come by. It was definitely the star of the meats I chose.“

“Delicious steak, the best. Great atmosphere. Good prices.“

“Food is great! There busy but service is still good, friendly staff! Oh yeah did I say the food is great!!“

“I really wanted to try the ramen, but I cannot resist an unagi bowl whenever I see it on a menu. That and the prawn tempura were excellent. Next time we're in Modesto visiting family, I'm going to hope it's winter so I can try their ramen!“

“Second time at Dave’s barbecue. This second time was better than the first.
I had basically the same thing as last time…The Founders Feast ($33) with a slight modification.
My dinner consisted of brisket, ribs, chicken, cornbread, corn on the cob, two sides of Wilbur beans and mac & cheese. Lots of food! I normally can finish my dinner but I took home a couple of ribs and brisket. I will enjoy that tomorrow. Everything was as good or better than last time. I really enjoy the Wilbur beans. They have chunks of meat and they are slightly sweet.
My son ordered a hamburger. He really likes their burgers. He was happy with his choice.
We had the cheese curds as an appetizer. They are very good as long as they’re hot and fresh.
And not forgetting to mention our awesome server Norma! She did an outstanding job tonight checking in on us frequently with a smile and keeping our water glasses full. Kudos to Norma‼️👍🏻👍🏻
We will be back.“

“We recently celebrated a few birthdays here, and every time was great. For a party of 8 we spent about $135 with purchasing drinks as well. So under 5 is free. After 3:30 is all you can eat I’d recommend going at these time. You basically choose from a buffet of meat, and vegetables they cook it for on a high wok it’s worth it!! And with my daughter being sensitive to shrimp, they cleaned the wok every time, and we’ve had no reactions like with other places!! They do delivery with DoorDash, but they stay packed cause the food is amazing!!!“
