New Oakdale restaurant should be mentioned when talking about good barbecue

A question I am frequently asked and see on social media often is, “Which restaurant has the best barbecue in the Stanislaus County region?” After visiting recently opened Craft BBQ Smokehouse & Catering in Oakdale, I believe it should be part of the conversation. Craft BBQ restaurant opened Nov. 12 on E. F St., two years after owners Jesse Padilla and Matt Martin launched the brand as a catering company. Martin, former Valley Meal Prep owner, and Padilla, a longtime Modesto chef, expanded with a food trailer, which they opened behind an old Valley Meal Prep building in Modesto June 2025. The duo planned to open a restaurant in that McHenry Avenue space, but it was sold to different restaurateurs — more on that later. When they found the building in Oakdale, a former Chinese food and sushi buffet, they acquired a prime location and a new business idea : a salad bar and barbecue buffet. Menu items you cannot miss at Craft BBQ The $11.97 one-trip or $17.97 unlimited salad bar was launched with the opening of the restaurant. The barbecue buffet equipment is set up but, per my previous conversations with Padilla and Martin, the option will likely

Merced County news roundup: From a fatal pursuit to leaf pickup and playoff football

Merced County news this week spans a deadly high-speed chase, a high school staffer’s sentencing and local teams chasing championships. Here’s a look at the stories shaping the community. Here are key takeaways: A 22-year-old Twain Harte man died Monday after leading Mariposa County deputies on a high-speed chase on State Route 132, where he failed to negotiate a curve, overturned his pickup and was ejected because he was not wearing a seatbelt. Deputies had responded to a felony domestic violence call, and the California Highway Patrol says alcohol is believed to be a contributing factor. Merced’s annual Leaf Collection Program returned Monday, Nov. 9 and runs six days a week through Jan. 16, with no service on Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year’s Day. Residents should rake leaves into rows at least 4 feet from the curb to keep storm drains stay clear. Crews won’t pick up branches, pine needles or grass clippings — those belong in green waste bins.
