Barbecue by Biasotti - Middletown, California

I must have come in on an off day.. I’ve been told to come here and that I wouldn’t be disappointed. I walked in and stood waiting for 10 minutes alone in an empty building hearing the sounds of a dishwasher in the back I called out a few times and eventually a quiet young man came out and stared at me. No greeting just blank face stared at me. I ordered my food, off a sharpied out menu, got a receipt and went outside. It seems like they used to have more items but have since taken them off the menu.
It has a cute outside aesthetic that was a bit confusing. There’s games scattered about in a random seeming order, a few covered tables, a few kids tables, and in the back a place for the people that want to be less than two feet away from multiple poisonous bug traps.
My kids took a few bites and said they didn’t like the food. They got the only option for kids chopped meat over macaroni and cheese, one chicken and one brisket. (Update: tried to feed it to the dog when we got home she wouldn’t touch it) I ate half of my tri tip sandwich, it was cartilage and fat with a side of meat in between two pieces of bread in a puddle of slaw. The slaw was tasty, just very wet. I also got the side of beans, it has a bunch of diff beans in it and some pork; the beans tasted good.

Update: it’s been a few hours since we’ve eaten and we are all sick to our stomach. Not sure if it’s the food or not since this is the only change in our diet.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Caesar salad, pulled pork, tri tip, Mac and cheese, and peach cobbler. Every bite was delicious! The kids loved played with the games provided and the food came out quickly. My kids are quite picky and they wolfed down their food. Will definitely be back.

Lovely informal restaurant serving delicious food, willing to cater to individual needs. I didn't want any sugary sauce on the meat, so I had tritip and pulled brisket without the sauce, which were delicious, especially the brisket. Also had the beans and coleslaw, both good.
While staying at Harbin hot springs nearby, which serves mostly vegan food, it was great to be able to sink my teeth into some meat!
Lots of seating outside for warmer months, and a small seating area inside for January weather.

Love it ! This was our first visit to Biasotti and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The pulled pork sandwich was delicious. The pork was moist and full of flavor and the slaw that topped it was the perfect accompaniment. The tri-tip had a beautiful smoke ring with a nice bark, and it was also moist and full of flavor and to top it off the peach cobbler was excellent, peachy, buttery goodness! We shall be back!

So I finally got around to checking out Barbecue by Biasotti. I definitely will give them the nod best bbq in Lake County. My wife had the pulled pork nachos and I had there 2 meat combo blate.. I had the tri tip and the chopped brisket. My sides where home-made Mac n cheese and cole slaw. The food was very good definitely smokey and flavorful with there sauce. The only thing I would have wanted more of is some of their house made bbq sauce. Prices were fair for what you got. The dine in option is kind of small for inside but there is more seating outside. I definitely will be back. I hope to come in sometime when they have their specials though.

Just went over there to try their new barbecue brisket pastrami Sandwich. So first just like the last time I wish? I had more barbecues sauce on it since it's so good. The pastrami reminded me more of a corn beef but it was still very good just without the brine and Tang. Very juicy in paired well with the homemade Cole slaw. For my side I had their homemade Mac and cheese which last time I reviewed was excellent and still is. You can tell it's made from scratch, and it has a nice crust on it as well. This was a special and not on the usual menu, but if you get a chance to order it I do highly recommend it
