On a recent trip to Clovis, my friends and I saw Chuck's and decided to try it for lunch. What a great find! The outside and inside are not what would attract us ordinarily, but we were hungry, and Chuck's turned out to be one of those hole-in-the-wall places where you get surprised by terrific food. They have great BBQ. We had HUGE plates. The brisket was lean, tender and absolutely delicious. The sides were all good. We tried them all. Best of all, the staff seemed to really care that we had a good meal and the lovely young lady from whom we ordered at the counter gave us samples so we could better choose what we wanted. She was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The place was sparsely filled with customers. Honestly, from the look of it outside, probably many might pass it by and miss out on good food. But we are glad to have discovered it, and plan to have lunch there on our next trip to Clovis.

Alls I gotta say is OOO WEE!! I was at a friends house celebrating their son's birthday when I tried chucks bbq! So this review will be based on that experience. The food showed up right on time with a friendly staff member who was all smiles. She was very pleasant and helpful. My friend ordered A LOT of food!! Every single thing was so delicious! He got bbq chicken, bbq ribs, tri tip, mashed potatoes, Mac n cheese, rice pilaf, salad, rolls and butter. There was so much good food!! The ribs were juicy and sauced up real nice. The tri tip was tender, juicy and well seasoned. The Mac n cheese was creamy and dreamy!! It was my favorite! The mashed potatoes were well salted (not overly) and creamy even with the skins in it! I was raving about it all night. I took 2 plates home and ate way too much! Haha! I definitely need to go in asap!

Chuck's is one of the best bbq places in Fresno. Usually go there when we visit. Staff are always friendly/helpful. It's a smaller place but they always have good options. BB ribs are really meaty and fall off the bone. We've tried other bbq places but have come back to Chuck's as it's consistently good and not overly expensive. At times, they don't have everything on their menu but always other option. We recommend!

I have never tried Chucks BBQ before last night, and I truly have been missing out! The food was delicious! I had the brisket with beans and Mac n cheese. Everything was very tasty, I was highly impressed. I also want to note that the cashier who helped me went above and beyond ! I accidentally left my debit card and got half way across town , only to realize that I had to have left it behind! She and another employee waited for me , after hours, so I would be able to have my card back ! I can't wait to go back to try everything they have! Thank you to the awesome girl who helped me!!

Ribs were amazing. So tender. Just the right amount of smoked flavor. Not overwhelming. Potatoes were yummy. Loved the Mac and cheese.

I think I've found my new barbecue place! Yummy I must say. You're in for a long one readers ... The employees on todays visit were all super nice. Provided recommendations based on my mothers preferences. This time I (we) tried: Pulled Pork - 5 the port is juicy and and smoky just as it should be. You don't even need BBQ sauce. I'm sure the sandwich is delicious as well. It's hard to find pulled port that doesn't have too much fat. Their pulled pork is perfect! Boneless Ribs - 5 sometimes one thing that sucks about ribs is not knowing if you're going to get enough meat. The boneless ribs are excellent. The they do not disappoint. You get all of the benefits of eating ribs not hanging to hassle with the bones. The portions are generous. It's definitely more meat than you'd get with 3 bones. (I haven't tried the bone in ... but it this is easier for us ladies) the sauce is delicious ... perfect amount of sweetness to complement the meat. Brisket - 5 OMG! Talk about tender and smoky meat. It's so tender much chewing isn't required. Definitely someone that will be come my standard. Smokey and tender as it should be. Yum! French fries - 5 I am a french fry freak. I love fries ... over the burger or whatever I'm eating. The fries are perfectly crisp and seasoned to perfection. I get them for my son, but I end up stealing a couple of fries because they're so good. Out of all of the burger stands and restaurants, Chucks has the perfect crinkle cut fries. They're addicting actually. Get some ranch on the side and you're in heaven. Banana pudding - 5 OMG I love banana pudding. Theirs is very rich and with the price. It's nowhere near generic for sure. Probably the best banana pudding I've had. (I've made the easy version and the baked version .... It's GOOD) Jenny - 10 what an amazing owner. She cares about every customer. She is very approachable and generous. I had a nice conversation with her today ... she's super down to earth and takes care of her clientele. I wish more owners were like this. So, next time, which will be soon, I am coming back for the tri tip fries. I love that the prices don't break the bank like other BBQ places that charge by the lbs. Trust me one meal will make 2 or 3! Did I mention how delicious the fries are? LOL BTW, these pictures are after we made our first pass. Looks like a brand new plate! Keep it up ... you've gained a loyal family.

Still love this place and after trying a couple more things-the boneless ribs are a favorite!! So are the dinner rolls. Service is top notch and everyone is so nice. I went with my 7 month old daughter about a month ago and she was fine waiting for a bit then got fussy so I took her to the car and was going to give a few minutes and then take her back in to wait, well the gal working brought my food out to me to my car. I appreciated it! The only thing so far that has not been a winner to me is the coleslaw. It had way too much dressing for my taste and I just couldn't do it. I'm sure some folks love it like that, but it's not my cup of tea. Always pretty relaxed here and usually folks waiting for their food but I've been with an overwhelming amount of people. They do a great job with phone orders too. Highly recommend those during lunch time!
