Great neighborhood bbq. Terrific greens and yams and tasty ribs. There are a few seats. The owners and other diners are friendly. Near Kaiser hospital, about a 12 minute walk.

If i could write a review and place a 0 I would this was the worst food ever! chicken and fries had maybe 10 fries if that the red beans and rice was burnt the gravy was the worst gravy ever no flavor with a horrible smell the yams were great the greens were sour, dry fried chicken no flavor one of the orders had 6 fries in there everything smelled like fish. all of the juice from the other orders had spilled all over the other bags very messy packaged. We had a total of nine orders for all of it to be a complete upset. Definitely not 4.3 star company

The BBQ was some the best that I’ve ever eaten. The ribs were tender and included a lot of sauce. The yams were also really good and taste homemade. The customer service was second to none. I was overall very pleased.

When it comes down to a problem with the food His customer service is unprofessional and uncaring and so is the lady that works there.

Usually its a plate of heaven . but tjis time it was salted tomato water with flat noodles. There was no real sauce no meat no cheese no other seasonings besides salt. And before i ordered the yams i asked was the yams sweet because i like candied yams and if the yams are not sweet ,i dont want them. Her exact words were “my yams are southern,they are sweet ,i can make them extra sweet by putting my finger in them”,we laughed and i said put extra sugar on it” The yams were npt sweet this time. They never get like my dads candied yams but sometimes they get close. This time they didnt the syrup wasnt sweet enough so it wasnt thick enough,thus not transferring much sweetness into the yams. I called and

I was pleasantly surprised. The place doesn’t look like much and the neighborhood is a bit run down, but the food was great, uniquely delicious and the staff was friendly and responsive. I’m going back.

Epitome of secret hole in the wall eatery, serving delicious BBQ and soul food at beyond reasonable prices. Seriously, you can get an order of ribs with greens, beans, and cornbread for $10, which is unheard of in the bay area these days.
