About a month ago, I treated the team at work to lunch. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a minute now and boy was I happy I did. Everything was spot on. Sauce had a nice kick to it, not too overpowering. The links was… different. The house blend they use for it was interesting. Not saying it was bad, just don’t expect it to be your run of the day link. (I’d order it again) Brisket was good, just wished for more of it. Ribs were juicy and thick, plenty of meat from the slab that came with the order. Chicken was chicken. The sauce made up for it being chicken. Collard greens and Mac and cheese was a perfect compliment to all the meats. I’m never big on potato salad but I will say it had flavor with a bit of zest. I order “the crew”Lastly, customer service and cleanliness of the restaurant. Place was immaculate. Very nice feel on the interior. They accommodated my request for splitting all the meats. Great customer service.Will be a spot I’d like to come back to.

As I write this review my mouth is watering wishing I was back there having some BBQ right now. Unfortunately, we are back in Indiana & it'd be a bit of a long drive for us. I can say, without question, that we will return the next time we get close.The food is delicious!!! I can't say enough about it. Just drive by & catch a wiff of what's cooking & you'll have to stop!

The meat was good but the sides were garbage ?. The baked beans were not BAKED at all. The Mac N Cheese was boo boo. Put the both in the garbage??♂️

Wonderful family-owned restaurant & food! Love the old photos, saved by firefighters when the original restaurant burned a few years ago. So sad the antique collection (farm cart, old tools, etc.) was lost.

Excellent food, value and atmosphere. Just had the smoked brisket. Equal to the best brisket I have ever had anywhere across the US...and I have had a lot of brisket! $22, fed 2 with left-overs. Great service and atmosphere. Convenient: located at Gilman and San Pablo in West Berkeley. Is this the best BBQ in the Bay Area? For me, definitely yes.

The meat was good. The macaroni and cheese was dry and had no flavor. They are a mask only establishment. If you want to eat inside, bring your vaccination card. They only had water and sweet tea. They were out of beer. I was disappointed big time...Hello. Thank you for the response. We ate at 2 other restaurants that weekend... We were not required to wear masks, and we also dined inside, and were never asked to show a vaccination card.

Garbage!!! Ribs and links were dry and tasteless. Pretty sure the beans came out of a can. The Mac n cheese was ok.

We spotted this joint while out looking for something else and planned on a return trip even though I despise Berkeley and the people that run it. It's hard to pass up good pork ribs and these are some of the best I've had.5 stars.

It’s super super rare for me to leave a bad review on anything but mannn.First the sign in front about doordash is confusing for new customers, so I placed an online order not knowing the inside was open through the side entrance.Anyways, waited 20 and walked in for pickup and they said my item wasn’t available at all — it’s the only veggie item on menu so I couldn’t substitute. Then said the reason they couldn’t call me beforehand cuz their phone died? Zero offer to make it up to us and I had to wait for doordash to call me before I could leave. Multiple error points all around.
The best BBQ I've ever had! This will always be my favorite spot in the bay and whenever come back to visit I always plan to make stop here! Keep doing your thing guys and I'm also very pleased to see yall bounce back after the fire! God bless!

Went saturday was the 1st person to order. They open at 12pm. No Brisket all out Saturday which tells me they cook Brisket Thursday and when they run out there is nothing left. Ribs were overcooked. Brisket is is on the menu for 3-4 dishes so it makes no sense to be out of one of your more popular items. I was really hoping for better. This is my neighborhood I grew up in. My parents still live in the same house 5 minutes walking from their location so i was very disappointed and i didn't want to be. I love Berkeley and all that it offers.Tokyo Market across the street from KC's is 5 stars. Go there if you want fresh fish or asian ingredients. Love this place

Seen you guys on restaurant impossible. The owner and the daughter seem like good people . He takes the time to reply to all his customers Reviews, so for that, I'll help you with 5 stars even though I'm in Michigan and never had this place,but the food does look delicious, . I hope you and your daughter are still doing good . And just curious ,does Robert stay in touch with you ? Or stops by to see how your doing ?

I came here with my boyfriend and let me tell you the food is amazing! We got the 3-way plate with 2 sides and the sweet tea. The portions are just right and we were both satisfied. Everything was delicious and great quality. The staff were super nice and helpful. Even took a picture with one of the cooks! 10/10 will come there again !!
