After a 3 hour drive from Sacramento we worked up an appetite and some buddies took us to North Fork BBQ.. we did arrive late so they were almost out of just about everything which effected what we could order however my wife got the âoutlaw potatoâ and I got the Carolina pig sandwich.. (those were our only two options at the time we arrived) but neither disappointed:
The outlaw potato: If comfort food and gourmet creativity had a baby, it would be this open-faced smoked potato masterpiece. From the first glance, itâs clear this isnât your average spud â the sea salt-crusted skin adds a satisfying crunch that gives way to a pillowy, smoky interior. Melted butter and tangy sour cream mingle at the base, setting the stage for the savory dance of crisp bacon bits and fresh green onion.
The Carolina pig: this sandwich is what barbecue dreams are made of. Served on a perfectly soft, oil-top bun, the pork is tender, smoky, and slow-cooked to perfection â each bite packed with that signature tangy Carolina flavor that fans of true BBQ will instantly recognize and love.
Service: was top notch the girls were ready to go home, yet they entertained us and kept us laughing with offering items they no longer had on the menu. They did not make us feel rushed nor did they throw any shade at us that we were probably holding them up from...

Upon arriving we were greeted by a couple of future employees who adorably informed us we didn't make it in time for the tritip, it was sold out. The hospitality didn't stop there and although it was closing time we were treated like royalty and ate like kings. It was no surprise the tritip sold out because everything we ate was unbelievably delicious. The staff were amazing and the establishment made you feel welcome and at home. We loved it so much we stopped back by a second time on our way back home. This place is Veteran ran and the people here love what they do. If I could give more stars I would, this has been the best experience of any type in a long time. A meal at north fork BBQ is all you need to restore hope in humanity and be reminded of the good, genuine people that are in short supply. Well worth the drive from fresno, I made the ride from a bit further in Hanford and I plan on doing it again. Hats off to North Fork BBQ, you deserve every bit of your success. You are...
   Read moreThis place was really good! My husband and I each got the 2-meat meals to go: he got pulled pork and jalapeno sausage, and I got the tri tip and sausage. The meats were delicious! Each order came with a helping of slaw, chili, rice pilaf, pickles & onions, and a roll. The meals were $22 a piece. I'd say it's a good amount of food for the price, but then I would hope so for $22! So, again, I will stress that this is a good bbq joint from what I tasted! It's family owned and the service was great. I don't want to knock this place, but... I do like another bbq place in town more than this one. I also had a 2-meat meal there and I liked their food more, especially the sides. (I can't speak to how the sauces compare, though, and that's an important detail-- I forgot to pick up any bbq sauce from North Fork!) Overall, this place is very good; not my absolute favorite, but a close contender. Everyone's different and I know many people who say this is the best place in town. There are a few bbq restaurants in Oakhurst and North Fork is definitely a...
