Soul Food Restaurants in Modesto, CA

“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.“
