The pulled pork sandwich I had was absolutely delicious. The pork was slow-cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of smoky taste. The bun was soft, with a tasty garlic flavor and provided a great contrast to the savory pork. Overall, a great combination of flavors and textures. My husband got the brisket sandwich, the meat was cooked perfectly and it was very flavorful. Highly recommended!

Finally had a chance to stop by and try this place after driving by so many times, and I wasn’t disappointed! I had no idea that the inside dining area was as big as it is. I only saw people eating outside and just assumed it was outdoor dining only. Boy was I wrong!

I walked in and I formed the employee it was first time there and asked her for recommendation on what to order. She gave no advice. She said everyone different. I ordered Tri tip meal with 2 sides and a drink over $20 for 1 person. On the expensive side.

Delicious bbq, just wish the portions were a bit more for the combo we ordered. Enjoyed the outdoor seating. Overall, great local bbq spot.

Couldn’t be happier with last night’s dinner and experience! Really great sitting areas indoors and out. People in my group got the brisket sandwiches (brisket was fall-apart tender and so flavorful) and I got the pulled pork plate with fries and macaroni and cheese. The macaroni and cheese was so creamy and delicious (my kids loved it so much) and I was blown away by the smoke ring on my pulled pork!! So smoky, with a seasoned bark and perfectly juicy meat. I’ll go back every time I’m in CV!

The smoked meats were great. Brisket was Falling Apart. The rib had a nice sweet honey glaze on them and the tritip was nice and dinked with a great smoke ring. Some of the best bbq in the East Bay. The sides were just ok Mac and cheese was definitely the best out of the things we tried. The coleslaw was meh but it was better then photato salad which none of us really cared for it. Great beer/wine and soda selection. Overall we’d go back and bring more friends and it a lot of food for the price which these days is hard to come by. Definitely worth the money

Food was very tasty and flavorful. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t hot. It was my second visit and I will probably give them another try. Really appreciate the many drink options, the Stubborn soda flavors are delicious and refreshing.

This place has incredible smoked BBQ and lots of beers on tap! Plus a huge craft beer selection of cans from Alvarado Street brewery and local craft beers. The ribs fell off the bone and were super juicy and tender. Pretty cool patio with fire pit, definitely coming back –
