A's House Of Smoke N Catering - Lodi

I was contacted on Instagram by someone from here I believe her name is Miranda. Now unprovoked she proceeded to make offensive comments about my body and my weight specifically when I indicated that I gained weight due to a medication that I was trying to get off of there was more comments about the size of my body and the excuses I make about being fat. Not only was this hurtful but it seemed concerning to me that somebody would affiliate themselves with a business publicly and make this kind of comment directly ties them to the business making this now appear to be an issue with the business as a whole and maybe not just one individual who was vicious to not just me but then some of my friends who attempted to defend me I ended up having to block her so she would stop commenting on my page but others interacted with her and she provided the same disrespect. What’s absolutely insane to me is that it was clear why I was out a way that I was I’m feeling comfortable in my body while being that weight but she refused to except that I should be comfortable in my body if I am “fat” no as a business that sells food that ain’t too good for the heart or the belly that seems concerning to me does that mean she’s looking at each of you and calling you fat because I didn’t welcome her to my page she came to it on her own and made those comments on her own. After that she proceeded to argue with a friend of mine and make homophobic comments I just cannot fathom that somebody representing a business would make any of the comments that they did I can’t find them wire human being would make any other comments that she did but me I would be very uncomfortable eating in a restaurant or her food if she’s just going to judge you for being fat her doing so that’s not where I would want to spend my money to support her business. I also happen to have all of the screenshots should she attempt to delete her comments or deny them

This is the best BBQ I have had in California. Ribs and brisket were absolutely delicious. We got the beans and Mac 'n cheese for our sides. Those are the best beans I 've ever eaten, a little spicy and smoky. Mac cheese was a hit with our 3 year olds (and myself). They kept asking for more meat which was the brisket. Well done! My husband picked it up from ordering ahead and said the owners were very friendly. We will definitely be ordering again.

We tried A's for the first time this Labor Day weekend, purchasing one of their specials for the holiday weekend and were absolutely thrilled with our meal! My personal favorite was A's brisket that had a super flavorful smoke flavor, but my husband insisted the literally falling off the bones ribs were the best! Though we couldn't agree as to an official winner we enjoyed every aspect of the meal, which also included juicy spatchcock chicken, and some deliciously spicy beans and slaw. The quality of the food was mirrored in the quality of the service as our meal was ready for us when we arrived, well packaged and ready to take home! We will definitely be returning to A's in the future!

Wow!!! Phenomenal bbq!!! Great, friendly service. Ordered the Labor Day pack and had enough food for several meals. The best brisket and ribs that we have had in a long time! This place is a hidden gem!!!

The food is amazing. The best bq I had since I have been in California. The ribs and chicken is so juices and delicious. The homemade bq beans are the best. I give them 5
