"My experience began with an online order placed through their website, followed by a frustrating 1.5-hour wait for pickup. This aspect of their business model is quite concerning. I would hesitate to make a reservation or order online here; I can easily picture being stuck waiting over two hours for a meal. I spent $50 on smoked chicken and brisket, both of which were overcooked and lacking in flavor, accompanied by uninspiring sides. As soon as I picked up the order, the overwhelming smell of smoke gave me a bad feeling about the meats. Unfortunately, my instincts were correct—both the chicken and brisket were completely flavorless. The chicken, which was meant to be organic, was unseasoned and had leathery skin, which is frankly unacceptable. The brisket, while it could pass the bending test, also had no flavor. The sides were equally disappointing. The “Just Peachy Beet Salad” didn’t contain any beets, and their cornbread was the worst I’ve ever tasted—overcooked and toasted to the point of being a “corn-brick.” The mac and cheese was another letdown. I truly believe this restaurant is trying too hard but failing to deliver quality food. I only tried the BBQ, which should be a strong point in any restaurant, and it did not live up to expectations. The chefs might benefit from visiting some standout eateries in the Bay Area and Sacramento to expand their flavor profiles. Additionally, the owners should consider streamlining their menu and honing their focus. The name "Apricot Wood" seems more appropriate, especially given that Patterson is known as the 'Apricot Capital of the World.' Since the restaurant is operating in its second phase, I would be willing to stop by to offer some culinary advice, particularly regarding the use of seasonings and marinades, or to suggest restaurants for the staff to visit for inspiration. Nevertheless, I don’t see myself returning. For the amount I spent, I could easily find a smaller business that offers a more enjoyable and flavorful dining experience."

Fantastic Brisket/ Shrimp salad! The fruit in the salad was fresh and sweet! Added the focaccia bread with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, was amazing!

The pizza was Okay and the BBq was awesome! The best part of our 1st visit was the service. Every single server who helped us was patient, courteous and very friendly.

First time going here and it was delicious. The waitress Cayla did a great job at explaining the menu options. We chose multiple menu items. Definitely going back there again. View menu

The bacon wrapped jalapeños were Delicious. Was surprised by how good the Sprouts and kale Chips were. Since my WLS I was full at that point and that all I had. Would come back to explore the menu.

Not a fan of this new menu. Many good items are now gone. What's up with this new menu? Too many odd items on here. Bring back the good old fashioned items! Steak, chops, turkey, sandwiches, pasta, etc.

The bacon-wrapped jalapeños were delicious! I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty the Brussels sprouts and kale chips were as well. Since my weight loss surgery, I've been feeling full after just this, but I would definitely come back to try more of the menu. View menu

The meats were dry. And came with no sauces. They didn't ask me if I wanted any and I didn't know I had to ask for bbq sauce when ordering to go. The salad was weird. Why did it have olives and celery?! The spiced sweet rub on the smoked chicken was delicious but I've never had a more bland brisket; my favorite meat. The cornbread was fairly good though.
