Average tritip sandwich well mediocre. No flavor nothing special about it. Please change the potato salad. It tastes like the crap you get at a grocery store. Disappointed to say the least

So I was waiting at the counter and the lady hosting was helping everyone who came in before me even though I was there before anyone else. She was rude and just because I already tipped and they hadn’t yet she took them first. Next time I will not tip until after I get my food.

Understaffed. Didn't like paying before eating, but being near Oakland, I understand why. Meat was dry and overcooked. Will not go back.

I dined in I ordered the brisket it appeared not to be cooked all the way it was slimy and it did not taste good my French fries had large black globs of rot inside of them
They were totally disgusting I took two bites of the meat ask for it to go box paid and left. I would have not paid and asked for my money back but I had a horrible day and I didn't want to deal with that after the day I had. On top of that for the third time that I went there I was the only customer in the place. I will not be returning again.

Extremely dirty. One person working the whole place. Most of the beers/wine options weren’t available. Would not recommend.

3/4 I ordered Brisket pork ribs fries and mashed potatoes, Brisket definitely not smoked for 12hrs and the worst cut of brisket fat everywhere flavor YUKE, ribs don’t fall off the bone unless you pull real hard. Host was great place was pleasing to the eye, just drink instead of eating!! Didn’t see the cook maybe he or she was sick… $30 of Sadness I wouldn’t eat there if it was free… give your extra && to the homeless

Ribs and chicken dry as hell. It was early when I went so the food should have been fresh unless they gave me food that didn’t sell from the previous day.
