Went here for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect. Staff is super friendly and the food is amazing. When you do your own bbq at home it’s hard to find something that compares. This place compares if not better. Brisket is nice and tender, ribs fall of the bone, sausage is full of flavor and juicy, the pulled pork is full of flavor. The sauces are delicious but honestly no need for sauce. The sides are amazing as well. The dinning area is very clean and casual. Definitely recommend this place. 10 out of 10. We will be back.

Tucked away in the cozy, historic Yosemite Village in Stockton, Smoke & Meat BBQ is a true Central Texas–style gem. From the moment you walk in, Jeremy—the welcoming and passionate owner—makes you feel right at home, and his staff, especially Aaron, match that same genuine hospitality that makes this place stand out. The BBQ here is classic Central Texas style, which means the focus is on the meat itself—slow-smoked over wood, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and served with incredible attention to texture and flavor. It’s honest, no-gimmick BBQ done the way it should be. My go-to order is the 2-meat plate with fatty brisket and pork ribs. The brisket is tender with that perfect smoky bark and melt-in-your-mouth richness, while the ribs strike that ideal balance between sweet, smoky

After my two sons finished their Jiu-Jitsu tournament, we chose Smoke & Meat BBQ in Stockton, CA to celebrate, and it turned out to be the perfect place. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, welcoming, and full of authentic BBQ charm, setting the tone for an unforgettable meal. The Texas Trio was the highlight of our visit and absolutely blew us away. It came with three sausages of our choice, a full rack of ribs, brisket, and three sides, a huge portion packed with incredible flavor. The ribs were tender with that ideal smoky pull, the brisket was juicy with a beautiful smoke ring and perfect seasoning, and the sausages were hearty and delicious. The sides were just as impressive! the mac and cheese instantly became the kids’ favorite, and the pickled onions and pickl

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Brisket Divine, A Feast So Fine” In Stockton’s heart where smoke does rise, A holy scent will bless your eyes. Smoke & Meat—oh what a place, Where brisket rules with tender grace. Each slice melts slow, a gift, a prayer, With peppered bark beyond compare. The ribs are bold, the sausage sings, Each bite takes flight on smoky wings. The mac and cheese brings comfort near, So creamy, rich, it draws a tear. Yet beans and slaw, though fair and neat, Can’t match the depth of smoked-up meat. Still five bright stars I gladly raise, For brisket’s crown and pitmaster’s praise. If heaven served its feast tonight— Smoke & Meat would get it right.

First drove up and parked, and you could smell the barbecue smoke outside. Walked in very cozy clean atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and courteous. I would recommend this place if you’re looking for an authentic Texas barbecue. I have searched several cities looking for good barbecue and I believe this is one of the best there is. The brisket was tender ,melt in your mouth, the sausage jalapeño cheddar delicious, ribs fall off the bone tender. And of course, if you’re from Texas you know that big red is a staple.
