"Hot City Barbeque & Bistro has been open for 10 minutes, and it's already starting to sell out. During this December weekend stop, a lone man came in and bought the Central Valley restaurant's entire supply of macaroni and cheese, walking out with a large metal tray and leaving a line of disappointed customers in his cheesy wake."
"The purveyor of smoked meat specializes in tri-tip and completely skips brisket - this is a California barbecue restaurant after all - in favor of other staples like pork ribs, beef ribs, pulled pork, smoked links and barbecue chicken. And there are, of course, the classic sides: mac and cheese (if you can get it), collard greens, mashed potatoes, smoky baked beans and toasted dinner rolls."
Hot City Barbeque & Bistro sits just off Interstate 5 in Los Banos and has thrived for 25 years. The restaurant specializes in California-style smoked meats with an emphasis on tri-tip and offers pork ribs, beef ribs, pulled pork, smoked links and barbecue chicken. Classic sides include mac and cheese, collard greens, mashed potatoes, smoky baked beans and toasted dinner rolls. The owner maintains a first-come, first-serve policy without purchase limits, allowing popular items to sell out to guarantee freshness. Two large reverse-flow smokers cook over apricot wood, and a nine-table single-room dining area often leads to shared seating.
