Horrible BBQ absolutely no flavor or taste and the ribs were so dry. I ordered a two item combo with two sides. Ribs, brisket, mac and cheese, greens. The only thing that had a little bit of flavor was the greens. I threw the brisket away because it looked like dog meat it was shredded and had absolutely no taste and was dry. I will not recommend this place to anyone else. I also paid $38 for all of this and wish that I would have grabbed some pizza at mountain Mike’s instead. Not worth it at all and please don’t waste your money.

We couldn’t decide what to order because everything on the menu sounded so good! This is the second time we have been here and this place has THE BEST BBQ! We ordered the ribs, brisket sandwich, tri tip sandwich, collard greens, Mac and cheese, fried pickles and Cajun tots. The first time we came here we got the rib and brisket plates with smoked potato salad. The food is delicious and the meats are so flavorful and tender. Service is great. The cashier always comes around to ask if we need anything. The owner, Tim, is so sweet and friendly. We love this place and will definitely be coming back!

The place has no ventilation, so if you eat indoors, you will inhale in nothing but smoke throughout your time eating there. Bbq tasted mostly of liquid smoke. Spent $40 for the meal set. The best part of the combo was the mac n’ cheese.

The most authentic Southern BBQ in the bay area. Tim is from the south and as a career military man, he has traveled the world tasting some of the finest BBQ, all the while perfecting his own.

Hands down the best BBQ I’ve found in the bay area. It all comes sandwich style (says so on the board), but the buns are nice and light. We always have trouble picking between the brisket and pulled pork. Some day we’ll get to the tri-tip and ribs! And I hate to bring it up in case they run out, but the specials? Yeah buddy! There’s not a lot of seating and yeah it smells like a smoker, but that’s real bbq, not like some so-so “famous” place up the way. Totally recommend!

Always want to try new places that way when I’m in a different city I know where to go and damn this place did not disappoint. Picked up the ribs and brisket and just missed out on the tri-tip because it was sold out. That says a lot when somethings sold out. Brought it home to a picky family and everyone ate. Good sauce and all around good taste. The service was cool In-N-Out in 5 minutes or less. Feels good when you spend a couple dollars and get some good food instead of oh man I knew I should have tried this place. I will definitely go there again the next time I pass through. It’s Friday and I got to go back and eat my leftovers. Thanks guys.

Just found this place by chance, wasn’t expecting much. To my surprise, this spot has good food. The portion size is good. The smoked potato salad is wonderful, the ribs were delicious, and the collard greens were on point. This is my new weekend spot. There are plenty more items for me to try. Also, the owner is very engaging. When I was there, he was stopping at tables to make sure everything was good and if anyone needed anything. That’s service that you very rarely see.
