Fat City Brew & BBQ

Fat City Brew & BBQ FAT CITY Brew & BBQ bids farewell and hands the torch to Good Life BBQ. Same amazing BBQ - New Owner. Come down and check it out.

They look forward to serving you 🙏🤍 Like most pitmasters, Don King began his career grilling for loved ones at backyard get-togethers. When his best friend, Noah, showed him how to smoke ribs, he discovered his calling: perfecting his own brand of smoking he’s dubbed “California style.” One thing led to another, and Fat City Brew & BBQ was born. From pit-smoked classics to flavorful sauces and sid

es, Fat City became Stockton’s go-to place for all things meat. Add in delicious craft brews, bottles of local wine, and local rubs and sauces to bring home, and you begin to see what we’re all about. With a variety of catering and delivery options, it’s never been easier to enjoy your favorite comfort food. When you’re ready to indulge on the Miracle Mile, pull up a seat and loosen your belt at Fat City Brew & BBQ.

25 weeks… in what feels like the blink of an eye.

Some days it’s quiet… and then out of nowhere, the heaviness comes rushing in like a tsunami. No warning. No mercy. Just weight. Real weight.

Twenty-five weeks in, and I think what’s changing is this—the fog is beginning to lift, just enough to see the horizon… and without him, it feels different. It feels still. It feels… empty in places I didn’t even know could be empty.

The world keeps moving. People keep going. Life keeps happening.

And there are moments I want to scream—
STOP.
Just… stop moving without him.

But deep down, I know that’s not what he would want. Not even close.

He would be the first to say:
Get up. Go. Do something.
Ask. Move. Build. Live.

“You have not because you ask not.”

So today… I’m asking.

I’m asking you—
What drives you?
What’s your why?
What gets you out of bed when it’s hard?

And if you knew Don… ❤️‍🩹
How did he leave his mark on your life?

Let’s not let that fire fade. 🔥
Let’s talk about it. 🤍

35 weeks ago, my husband shared this message.
Today marks 17 weeks since we lost him. ❤️‍🩹

There are countless posts telling us to live life fully — not to take a single day for granted — and no matter who we are, sometimes we all need that reminder.

So today, that’s what I’m doing.
Just reminding you:

Go out and live your life.
Love your people.
Take the chances.
Enjoy the moment.

Go out there and live a good life. ❤️

🎄✨Merry Christmas from the girls and me 🎄✨

Eight weeks today, into a world that looks the same but feels entirely different.
We’re learning—each in our own way—
how to breathe, how to smile, how to keep moving.

He isn’t just close to our hearts.
He’s woven into everything we do.
In our laughter. In our strength.
In the quiet moments where love speaks louder than grief.

We carry him forward—
not behind us, not apart from us—
but with us. Always.

We three Kings, still standing.
Still loving.
Still believing.

Merry Christmas.

✨👑❤️

There’s so much behind the scenes that needs care and attention, and we can’t do it alone. Please share, like, and consider donating — every little bit truly helps.

🚨RAD CARD USE EXTENDED UNIL 11/8!! 🚨

Do you have funds left??? If so come use them up and and celebrate Don with us!

His love for great food, laughter, and community made Fat City Brew & BBQ what it is today — a place where everyone feels like family.

The program was created to help local businesses keep their doors open during tough times, and that’s exactly what your support continues to do for us.

If you still have funds on your RAD Card, we encourage you to use them here at Fat City Brew & BBQ before the program officially ends on November 18, 2025.

Every meal, every drink, and every visit helps support the King family and our team as we continue Don’s legacy.

You can check your balance and see participating businesses in the RAD Card app — but we’d be honored if you chose to spend it with us.

Come enjoy a meal, share a story, and help keep Don’s memory alive. ❤️
