Had a quick lunch here and they accommodated or request. The food is BBQ and I had the burnt end brisket because I wanted high fat. Very tasty and what I wanted. Definitely a fun atmosphere of it were during happy hour or for dinner. Would definitely return again.

Brisket burger was huge and completely awesome! Fantastic service, great atmosphere and outside seating, lovely location. Prices were about right for what you get & the presentation. Parking is always a challenge, what can you do? Definitely will return next time I am in the area.

Fun, high energy, pretty loud. It’s pretty nice, it’s basically a large open room which can be open to the outside. Good food, good drinks. It’s nothing exotic but you’ll have a good time.

We arrived on time for Dinner and to top it off; they have dessert! I truly wish the Restuarant was closer to home but, it was definitely worth the trip.

Excellent. Cafeteria -style dining with sports bar and locally sourced menu items. Dining experience was perfect. Dan Gordan personally thanked us and had a small conversation. 5/5 rating! We ordered the fresh caught Pacific Salmon with side of garlic fries 5/5; Arugula & Beats salad 5/5(girlfriend said it was the best she’s ever had); Tuna Sliders 5/5 Fantastic! (apparently put on the menu 2 days prior).

The food is spectacular! The meat was cooked to perfection as requested, and the barbecue sauce choices were delicious! The place is nicely decorated and open, they have a bar with a great selection of drinks! The workers are very friendly and helpful.

Good food. Great place to hangout with friends and colleagues. Deviled eggs are a must. Noise level is quite high.

Amazingly good bbq in an almost historic location. Dan Gordon’s delivers on high quality BBQ in San Jose. Cheddar biscuits were amazing also

Too bad the drink sizes aren’t as big as I thought they would be also beer selection wasn’t that great. Food on the other hand was delicious!

The barbecue is a little disappointing, especially for the price. The brisket was slightly overcooked and the ribs were tough. Both incurred a $3 “premium meats” upcharge. The kale slaw was good, though.
