Such an amazing little place to stumble upon, it is everything you want in a small BBQ restaurant. The restaurant had such a warm and homey feeling that you can’t find in most restaurants. The bread was so buttery and doughy and delicious , the BBQ beans were great and the potato salad was nice and cold. The chicken was incredibly tender and didn’t need a knife, it shred perfectly with just a fork. The sweet BBQ sauce is good, but the spicy one was a bit watery. Overall, would happily go back again.
Nice quality BBQ joint. No frills classic style. Tried the pulled pork, hot link, beef rib, and brisket. All were fine. More of the wet style than char. I used their spicy bbq sauce, great flavor. Would prefer to be a bit thicker. For sides, I tired the macaroni and potato salad, plus coleslaw. All good, macaroni was my favorite. Nice fresh baked bread too.
IF you eat right here, you cannot possibly leave this place comfortably. I leave totally engorged every time. One of these times, I may just roll away down the street. Seriously though, living a few blocks away, this place is very accessible to me, and I like to go at least once a month. I usually order the brisket meal, or brisket sandwich. The ribs are very good, too. For California, this place is mad decent. This particular photo comes from a post-convention dinner outing just before Halloween 2023, where I took a bunch of folks out after the con, and they all absolutely praised the **** out of your food. Everyone loved it. Not a plate with anything left on it in sight when we were done. LOVE THIS PLACE. Great service, wonderful food, and though the place is very tiny on the inside, it gives it a kind of charm about its ambiance.
Everything we ordered was excellent!! Delicious, juicy beef, perfect flavor, not salty, not too sweet. Liked the services. Waitresses were too kind and patient with us.😋👌🏻
Fantastic food, amazing sauce. Our server never let our cups go dry. Pecan PIE soft and delicious.
“Wet BBQ” is very interesting taste and texture. The food no meat falling off the bone experience. In my opinion it seems like the meat was boiled to cook and then put on a grill with a lot of sauce. The food was hot, but just seems to miss a lot of the characters of smoked meat or grilled meat. The portions are huge and price is relatively moderate. The sides are good, I like the fresh dinner rolls.
I got there on a Sunday evening, the restaurant feels dark, like most of the lights were not turned on. The ambiance was interesting, the benches actually have patroons and they can sit a party of 8 adults easily. This place is worth a try.
It was nice to dine at a really good BBQ restaurant that wasn’t part of a chain.
I was very impressed with the reasonable prices for lunch specials.
I had a regular menu item, 1/2 rack of baby back ribs.
Ribs > good, except the bark was tough, especially on the last rib. I liked the sauce on the rib plate
Table bbq sauce > mild and tangy
Bread > excellent, served with real butter
Coleslaw > very good, it was a little spicy, which is unusual, but tasty
Beans > OK, appeared to be doctored canned beans, but still tasty
Service was very friendly and attentive, tables and floor clean
This might be the best BBQ I've ever had. We only ate meat so can't comment on sides, but the brisket, spare ribs, chicken and hot links were magnificent. Slightly sweet sauce and amazing flavor, everything was so tender, juicy and fall off the bone. The service was excellent, very kind and attentive. I say $30-50 per person but the second photo is our leftovers, easily 2 feast size meals for 2 very hungry adults. So more like $20 per meal. Super kid friendly. We will definitely be coming back.
First time back since it burned my daughter was so happy they are open. Returned 12/18/23 still very delicious.
Accidentally stumbled upon this place. They have been here 53 years!! What??? Stepping out of the car we were greeted with the most amazing BBQ smells. Indoor and outdoor eating. The outdoor area has a small wall and green turf. You forget that you're on a busy street. Betsy was our server. She was new and we loved her. Super helpful. Food was beyond fantastic. For me, the sandwiches were big enough and had so much meat, I could have split it. But, don't do that!!! It's just as good the next day. Meat is tender, cut with a fork
