I went to Buford's BBQ for my first time on Saturday and it was amazing and my expectations were finally met. The staff was very nice and welcoming and I couldn't ask for a better experience. Once I got home and we ate our 3 ways which I ordered the ribs, chicken, and brisket it was hard to share with my kids it was so good. The green beans, mac n cheese, and the baked beans was so fresh and tasted amazing. The next day I returned to get another plate this time I ordered there hot links and again was impressed. The sauce was so good tangy, sweet with a bite of spice. I highly recommend this place and this is my first time taking my time out to give a shout out and my on going place I will enjoy a meal or two. Thank you for reading and don't waste time go there and see for yourself. The lemonade and Ice tea is also very good freshly made which gives an extra touch.

I saw the reviews on here were so high. I have not had a bbq until stopping here that took me back 50 years. Ordered 2 Brisket sandwiches, one with green beans and one with Mac. The Mac was great, but the green beans I believe were cooked with ham hocks. Just off the hook delicious. The sandwiches were delicious also. The sauce is as its described in its name. I was stuffed and wasn't going to touch the peach cobbler. I warmed it up and bang right back to my country, childhood again. Thanks, Burford. See you soon . Ps can't wait for the next thing we will try.

So I seen people raving about this place on social media and turns out it's 2 minutes away from my house ... when I parked my car down the street I could smell the food from there, but I won't hold you. I was welcomed with the most inviting and warm smile by the owners who were very polite, and warm which gives me family vibes.. impeccable service ? I dined in and I received some hefty helpings for a spectacular price considering it bbq which can be pricey, but the taste omg!! This is what antioch needed it's so hard to find real bbq I even purchased sauce and seasonings and the desserts were fresh, ribs brisket and links tender and smokey I can go on and on I will be backParking: There's a public parking area next to the restaurant and also street parking availableWheelchair accessibility: Yes very spacious and accessible
Best BBQ restaurant in the East county, maybe even the entire East Bay. -Nice to finally be able to try this place. Real Memphis BBQ where you can sit down and enjoy some delicious meats & hospitality. We tried a few of the combination plates. -On my 3-way combo plate I got pork ribs, beef brisket & hot links with sides of baked beans and mac & cheese. The ribs were perfect, fall off the bone and flavorful. The brisket was prepared kinda like burnt ends. So great. The hot links were sliced up and nice and spicy, but not so much you can't taste anything. Love that smoky flavor you get from their real bbq. -My son got the 2-way combo plate with chicken and brisket with sides of baked beans and green beans. He was expecting Texas style brisket which is cut up in slices, but still was great. His chicken was exceptional and fall off the bone also. It was two wings, two flats and a thigh. He said "it's the best chicken he's ever had". It was amazing. -The sides were really good. Baked beans had either ground pork or beef( I forgot to ask which) and I think some jalapeño flavor. Mac and cheese was very good too. Nice and cheesy and was the slightly larger Mac noodles which I like. Green beens were likely stewed in a broth and were better than your average bean. All the meats were generously sauced with delicious bbq sauces, which I believe they make in house. We were there at lunch on a Thursday, so it wasn't busy. I enjoy sitting and taking my time to enjoy my food and not feel rushed. Owners were so nice and friendly. I will have to go back and try the few things we didn't get on the menu. Menu is small and simple, but that's a good thing. The place doesn't have that many tables, but is nice and clean. There's also quite a lot of parking across the street and behind the restaurant. The only slight downside is there's a lot of sauce on all of the meats. The great part of that is, their bbq sauce is absolutely amazing. Cant wait to go back!!

This place is AMAZING!! If you’re hankering for great bbq, TIIS IS THEE PLACE FOR IT!! This was our first time here, will definitely be back.
Can't say enough great things to say about this place. Was planning to go to another place but they were closed so we ended up here. Boy I am glad my cousin picked this spot. There were 5 of us and all our dishes were so good. We all loved the Mac and cheese. I had the fried catfish and it was so delicious and the host was kind enough to make me some tartar sauce. Had to end the meal with the peach cobbler so good. The host made everyone feel so much at home Great service atmosphere and great bang for the buck. Can't wait to tell more people about this place, Already looking forward to going back.

Enjoy their brisket burger and mac n cheese. Had a weird experience though this evening. I called the number that's listed and a gentleman answered. He just said "hello", didn't know if I was calling the restaurant. He sounded like I woke him up. I had to ask if I was calling Buford's. Then I asked if they're still open and it's 5:47pm. He asked me "what time is it?" I tell him "it's 5:47", and he said "we close at 6." They are usually very nice and accommodating, this encounter was very awkward.

As soon as you walk in your KNOW they stand on business! the staff was so sweet and soft spoken we immediately felt welcomed. Also such a cute vibe when you walk in, very clean everywhere in this little restaurant. The food came out in 15 minutes and presentation exceeded our expectations. The food was so amazing 11/10, so delicious. The cheese pull on the mac and cheese was amazing and the meat was practically falling right off the bone. My husband and I didn't even think to take photos because we immediately just wanted to dig in. If you want good bbq, this is the ONLY place youNeed! ❤️
