The Hangar BBQ, formerly Hangar Cafe, is now open 10am-4:30pm M-F, 8:30am-4:30pm Saturdays. Excellent BBQ sandwiches and ribs at great prices. Phone is 209-384-1963. We had some really tasty food today. I agree with the 11/06/10 post about how friendly the folks are there!

Here's an update (11/06/10) & recommendation for The Hangar Cafe, which is open from 8:30 to 5:30 Mondays through Saturdays. Try the huge & delicious BBQ Egg Burrito, prepared & served by very friendly folks. It was the first visit for my wife and me, but not our last.
