It’s absolutely no wonder that folks come as far as Stockton and Sacramento to sink their teeth into succulent melt-in-your-mouth ribs and Barbecue at Griff’s where hospitality, service, ambiance and taste are a winning combination. Historic saw blades, metal work, reclaimed antique timbers and ore carts decorate the homey, lumberjack and mining style establishment.
True goodness doesn’t come easy but Griff puts in the effort with natural high quality beef, homemade from scratch sides and desserts made with local ingredients and painstakingly made by hand the old-fashioned way. Griff knows how to pay attention to detail.
Pulled Pork, Brisket, Slow Smoked Chicken, and Ribs are a few of the signature items and each one is tender, flavorful and moist. No fat, no gristle and no fighting with bones to get your fill. Salads like Cole Slaw and Potato Salad are flavorful and delicious, a refreshing opposite extreme from so many boring bland competitor’s sides at chain type restaurants.
Desserts are homemade and like mom used to make only if you were one lucky kid. Fresh local berries and fruits are used. And the signature homemade s’mores are truly rich, decadent and oh, so gooey and messy and yummy. Don’t share one. Get your own. A few bites are not enough!
Griff’s is only now celebrating a year of success but undoubtedly will be celebrating many more as the word spreads. There is no place better to eat in the area and without argument they have the best Barbecue in 5 nearby counties.
No need to travel to Kansas City or Texas where serious Barbecue is found. It’s recently arrived in the Gold Rush Country of California and Griff’s is creating and carving out a piece of his own history and reputation. If anyone tells you California doesn’t have legendary Barbecue, they haven’t been to Griff’s BBQ & Grill.
