Oh wow, where do I even begin with this gem? Slightly off the main road, tucked away, you will find the best ribs and pulled pork. The staff are friendly and helpful. Christian gave us sauces to try that were all great flavors. He said they make them all here in house.

Holy smokes! If you are in Los Banos don’t miss this place. I ordered the Tri Tip and Hot City Salad. Delicious, fresh, exceptional flavor. I went back the next day and picked up another salad and the No. 7 for hubby. Service is great, and the smoke on their meats is totally legit.

Great smoked tri tip, sausage and pulled pork. The sandwiches are big and you lots of meat. Loved it. Do yourself a favor and go try for yourself.

who can get connected to the owner of the Hot City BBQ? I lost something very important to me last Friday at the restaurant, it’s emergency! But I can’t get connected with anyone at it until Friday morning.

Had Tri-tip and pulled pork sandwiches all served on soft french bread–delicious and very generous! Hubby declared it the best bbq sandwich he has ever had–high praise! Greens also super tasty. Quick and friendly service.

Staying up the street on a road trip. This awesome little smokehouse is only open on the weekend. Ordered 1/2 chicken, garlic bread and slaw. Online ordering was quick and efficient. Best road food ever, will feed the 2 of us tonight and tomorrow. Yum.

When driving the 7 hour journey from San Francisco back to home, you get a little hungry. Looking at the map you have all there random food places but this stood out to me, Hot City BBQ. Being in the middle of no where with decent reviews, I thought why not. I have never made a better decision in my life. Getting Pack 4, containing 1 rack of ribs and 1 pound of tritip as well as the best potato salad in the south and a can of beans, my cousin and I sat here on a holy mission trying to finish it, we could not.

So sad my steak was way toooooo salty. I only took a small bite but couldn’t eat it, too much SALT. I did not like all that salty seasoning. I did tell the owner but all he said was sorry, he offered to give me dessert. Really?? I went for dinner not dessert. Never again will I go back. If you want a good steak go to, The Grove in Stevinson Ca.

A delicious hidden gem tucked back on a side street. The pulled pork and chicken were smoked to perfection and their bbq sauce was delicious. And get the greens-die for! Staff was very friendly too.

So initially I wanted to rate lower since the service was initially sub-par. Did take a minute for them to take our order and a decent amount of time to actually get the order. The food was so amazing though. Huge portions, amazing smoked meat, and delicious sauce. Get the tri-tip, seriously you won’t regret it!!
