19 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Benicia

“best slap yo momma bbq around.“

“Been going to this location frequently and every time it’s been great. Very fast and friendly service. BBQ chicken is freshly made and perfectly seasoned every time. Nice cuts of meat. No fat. Very clean restaurant. Small dining room but they do have outdoor tables as well. Turn over of tables is pretty fast. If I’ve wanted to sit it’s never been an issue. If you want a view while you eat, drive down the hill and park at 9th street or the Benicia Pier and enjoy your meal.“

“Really great food. Cool building. The Classic Burger was Classic. Friendly staff. 5 star!“

“These have to be the best ribs I’ve had in a long time.“

“My wife and I are big fans of Kinders—we come in every week. I always get the customized loaded tots, and she goes for the Cali chicken club sandwich. The plain salted fries are also outstanding, especially since they’re cooked in tallow instead of seed oils. The fry sauce is genuinely one of the best I’ve had. What really sets the place apart for us is Mikey. He’s the only server we go to! He’s friendly, attentive, offers good suggestions, and consistently makes the experience better. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile, which is rare. He deserves recognition for that and a raise!“

“Stopped in for a late bite after shopping for new football supplies for my son. My son had the BBQ combo and all I had was the wedge salad, my son loved it and honestly it was one of the best damn salads I've had. Our server Adrian was super cool and really helpful, when we're in the area again we'll definitely come back!
The Superb-intendent 🍀“

“This place is excellent! I agree with all of the positive reviews. We had excellent service. Excellent portions. No problems with 2nds or 3rds or 4ths. WOW! When the grill got to much chard and started to smoke a little they would change it for a fresh clean one. They changed ours about 4 or 5 times. I'm sorry for anyone who had a bad experience. Go during a weeknight. Ask for a different server. Try not to waste or overcook your food. Be courteous and patient to get a table. But just keep ordering every chance you get. Keep the food moving on the grill and order wings, dumplings, sushi and calamari etc. Work with them and they'll work for you! Happy grilling!“

“Great local bbq/deli/meat market. You can get any type of meat from raw brisket, their famous marinated ball tip, I've even seen gator for sale here before. They also have packages that are great if you're going camping that will contain eggs and other protein so you can pay one price and head out. They make one of the best breakfast sandwiches around. Not into meat? They also have salad options and seasoned fries in various flavors. The staff is very friendly as well as knowledgeable and will gladly assist you with any questions.“

“This is one of the best food in the Bay Area. The staff are great. The food are excellent fresh. I see some of the comments from other customers just if you don’t like this place just don’t go there less problem for everyone. And I don’t think they need a customer like those guys. Five star to you guys“

“Slow Hand never disappoints. Just got back from Austin and had bbque there at Franklins. But just tasting Slow Hand, absolutely amazing. Love, love this place! So many great drink options as well. Wow.“

“Excited to have another Hawaiian bbq restaurant to add to our rotation. L&L is always consistent with generous portions, good flavor, and healthy options. The service at this particular location is great, it’s small but the folks behind the counter are always friendly and the service is always quick.“

“I ordered a large catering order for a company event. The food was all ready exactly on time and they helped load it into my car. The food was all delicious and the “party trays” that I ordered came with additional food that I didn’t even know about and was pleasantly surprised to receive. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Many employees were asking where I got the food from because it was so delicious. I would definitely order from here again.“

“This Hawaiian restaurant exceeded all my expectations! The service was fast, friendly, and made us feel like ohana. The menu offered a great selection, and everything we ordered was delicious. The luau-style ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and the coconut shrimp had the perfect crunch with a hint of sweetness. The ambiance was magical, with soft lighting, Polynesian decor, and just the right amount of island music to set the mood. Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family outing, or a casual night out, this spot is perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“If you're looking for incredible BBQ and top-tier service, Kinder's is the spot.
The ball tip sandwich was out of this world—perfectly cooked, tender, and packed with flavor. We also got the three-meat combo paired with chili beans, potato salad, and mac & cheese. Every single side hit the mark, but the mac & cheese and chili beans were absolute standouts.
Huge shoutout to Robert, who took our order. His service was awesome, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be back soon!“

“So very delicious. I got a plate with Ribs, coleslaw and Hush puppies. I am going to be thinking about The Flavor of the ribs until I go back again. Also Looking forward to trying other side dishes next time. The staff was great and checked I had everything before I left.“

“There was an important item left out of my order last night. But when I went back today, the Asst Manager Brandon went over the top. He really hooked me up. Their food is good, but their service and attitude is the best!“

“Sandwiches, Ribs, Steaks, Deli Salads, Marinated Tri Tips and more.“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“The best brisket dog! It was perfectly seasoned, smoky, and juicy. The sauce paired so well that it doesn’t even need your traditional hot dog condiments! I found whole mustard seeds throughout adding a depth of flavor that paired well with the smokiness! I regret not getting a second“
