We ordered the mozzarella sticks, jalapeño poppers, and cauli bombs to start — all were hot, crispy, and perfectly shareable. For my main, I tried the Chipotle Mushroom and Swiss, which normally comes with a beef patty, but since I don’t eat beef, they kindly substituted it with chicken. The result was excellent — the Swiss cheese and chipotle-sautéed mushrooms paired beautifully with the juicy chicken and brioche bun. The mac n’ cheese and coleslaw rounded out the meal nicely, classic and comforting sides done well. Great food, generous portions, and friendly, accommodating service — exactly what you hope for in a local BBQ spot.
Overview
Walking into Griff's Bbq & Grill feels like stepping into one of those rare hometown spots that still gets it right. It’s the kind of diner where the smell of slow-cooked meat hits you before the door fully closes and the staff greets you like they’ve seen you a hundred times before. Sitting at 304 Town Square Rd, Copperopolis, CA 95228, United States, this place has become a familiar stop for locals and a happy surprise for travelers rolling through the foothills.
From my first visit, what stood out wasn’t just the food, but the rhythm of the place. Orders move fast, plates hit the tables hot, and conversations bounce between booths. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich after a server casually mentioned it was one of their house favorite items. She wasn’t exaggerating. The pork was tender, smoky, and clearly cooked low and slow, a method backed by

Great place for BBQ. Had the Pulled pork, it was perfect. Lots of sides. Had the potato salad, it was like home made. Really really tasty! If you’re hungry and passing thru Copperopolis make sure to put this place on the top of list! Thumbs
Always a treat eating here with a wide variety of bbq, meats, pastas, salads, and more. Cool setting too in downtown Copperopolis. Nd making it tonight to the Friday prime rib special ($35 including 2 sides) was a great treat!
This was our first time here, will not be our last. The food was great, service was top notch and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I wish I could give this place more stars. I think they deserve 10 stars. Trust me this place will be seeing me again and again.
Nice vibe. Get a pint when it’s super hot outside. Ask for bar’s speciality!
Excellent atmosphere even with a one year old daughter. Brisket tender and of good portions server nice enough to provide coloring stuff for my little one.
The food was delicious. 4 people with two dishes (beef brisket and pork brisket, both full size) and we had to pack the pork brisket to go. The lady owner was very nice. I saw the cocktail menu with flavorsome cocktails, I would love to try some, but maybe next time.
