Barbeque Restaurants near Castro Valley

“Real, honest BBQ. I had the 2 meat combo with brisket, ribs, mac & cheese and potato salad. Best BBQ I have had since I was in Austin Texas! The owner was working hard with the rest of his employees and was the one to take my order. He seemed very nice and was helpful. I work within walking distance so I can see myself becoming a regular here. Canyons is an excellent addition to Castro Valley's food scene.“

“I enjoyed my Hawaiian BBQ. Customer was Great! The Restaurant very clean including the Restroom! I've been here at least 4 to 3 times a month! Enjoyed it!!!!“

“I visited this restaurant twice. It was so good I went back for seconds, lol. However, the second time I ordered a meat meal. The bbq Hawaiin chicken was so good both times, but the chicken Katsu lacked seasoning but was crunchy and hot. I loved the macaroni salad! I will still eat here, but I will order the bbq chicken

Parking: Small parking lot but never had a problem parking“

“The broth is satisfying, flavorful, and has just the right amount of numbing spice. I highly recommend the beef bone broth soup base with either medium or spicy heat. The Szechuan spicy base is good, too!

You can choose from various meats, seafood, veggies, and noodles. Pick whichever ingredients you want as long as it meets the minimum 0.8 lbs (they charge you by weight)“

“Had the brisket sandwhich based on a recommendation. Not bad. Fries and slaw good too. Glass of soda was huge. we'll eat it again, maybe try dinner.“

“Great BBQ and catfish! Best in the Bay Area. The staff are super friendly and the portions are big.

They have plenty of TVs to watch whatever sports you are into.

They do not serve beer or alcohol here.

Parking can be a pain when they are busy.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get in the restaurant.“

“Peni and family cook with love and fresh ingredients from scratch. Flavors are amazing...and just the smell of Peni's BBQ gets your mouth watering. The bbq Chicken, the pulled pork, the ribs....if lucky they will have the Korean short ribs too!! Already planning our next trip back!“

“Chris and his team put out some of the best barbecue I’ve ever tasted follow their page to get updated on where they will be usually at Bay hill Foods in Hayward.👍❤️“

“ribs and tri tip are delicious probably the best Mac and cheese I've had at any of the local barbecue spots the brussel sprouts are outstanding and I can't wait to have some of that carrot cake😋 don't forget da cheese and mashed potatoes!!!“

“I ordered food for a work luncheon holiday party. I spoke directly with the owner, Tim, and he was very kind and was able to accommodate us at short notice. I ordered about $1500 worth of food but was a little nervous since we had never eaten South Smokin before. Also, I had a couple of last minute changes and it was NO PROBLEM for them.
My nervousness was not needed because everything was wonderful! Tim delivered the food himself, on time, and the food was hot and absolutely delicious! Everyone was happy with it, and there was PLENTY! We had a lot of leftovers for everyone to take home a plate or two.
For reference, we ordered tri-tip (a tiny bit overcooked, but still delicious) chicken (great), ribs (PERFECT!!), mac and cheese, hot potato salad, lumpia, beans, cornbread, and probably a couple of other things I'm forgetting, but everything was yummy.
Thank you Tim for making our holiday party so great! We will definitely order again“

“So as soon as you walk in you're just immediately shoved back into the 1990s Chinese cafeteria style restaurant. The smell, the sound, the everything. It's perfection. It's cheap, and they pile the food on until it's overflowing. I ordered duck over rice with another plate of chow fan and short rib and pork gluten and it came out to less than $20!?!

I don't know how but they're a treasure and I hope they continue to make it. They've been only open for 2 months and did poorly the first few months because they accidentally labelled themselves as a tourist info zone and not a restaurant. Support them.“

“Tri tip snd ribs are so good and tender! My mom likes the macaroni salad and I like the potato salad and the mild sauce is good unless you like it hot then go to medium or hot. Its not a formal restaurant so order pick it up and go get it delivered, I've done both.“

“Food here is so good and a decent price for plates (I think it was $15 for a 1 meat plate and $20 for 2 meats ). Parked right outside Planet Fitness so a perfect post gym meal. The ribs are very juicy and the BBQ sauce he makes is delicious! The baked beans always hit along with the potato salad. Only complaint is that the bread sometimes gets soggy from the items in the box but that can easily be fixed. Definitely one of my favorite quick BBQ spots and I highly recommend giving him a try!“

“I could not be more stoked about a restaurant than this one. This place has the best tandoori meats and today I got to try a pani puri too and man!!! did my taste buds transport to New Delhi days or what!!! I ordered a combo plate with lamb chops and lamb sheesh kabob. Perhaps the most tender and meatiest lamb chops ever and amazing value for money. The owner himself is vegetarian, yet seems to have perfected meat and veg tandoor dishes. this place is Magic!“

“I’m a vegetarian, so I can’t speak about the Q (the men in my house cried when the last wing was grabbed), but this banana pudding is so off the hook I want to cry!! So rich and creamy! I’ve eaten 1/2 of the very generous serving and I’m stuffed. I’m gunna power through it though, because I know if I save it, one of these boys will eat it!“

“Best place to kau kau Hawaiian 🌺 Food“

“Now, this is the way BBQ ribs ought to be served! I get the FULL rack here, none of that trimmed off St Louis junk with all the nice meaty ends all trimmed off. These ribs are smoked right here in the restaurant and served with a great brown sauce. It's NOT a gravy like come people say, it's a beef broth reduction that pairs perfectly with the pork ribs, heck even the fries! No place serves real ribs like this place or any of the other Emil Villa's out there.“

“It is so great to find that hayward finally has some good Chinese bbq! I no longer have to drive far when I crave for some roasted duck! And that was exactly what I ordered today. It is fresh with good flavor. You know it’s a legit Chinese roasted duck when you can taste the star anise! I will definitely return to try the other items! Pro tip - parking can be terrible, so just go further down the lot towards auto zone. There’s always plenty of parking there.“

“Love their Kalua Pork & Cabbage“

“AMAZING. SO SO GOOD. Not only was the food absolutely delicious, with generous portions and very well priced, but the owner was so incredibly kind, funny, and sweet. They were able to seat us, a party of 8, so last minute and made us laugh the entire time! We had such an amazing time here, and will be come back!!!“

“Good food nice service nothing but the best“

“Michelle was great, she let us try the peach cobbler and a few sides. Everything was delicious! The food reminds me of home back in Texas!“

“I was jonesing for a plate lunch and this did really fit the bill. The pretty enormous amount of kalua pork had just the right amount of salt, and was smoky. There was not too much cabbage, which was a nice change from places that mix in a lot of cabbage to lower costs. I was actually wanting a bit more cabbage. The steamed veg was about 2 bites of broccoli.

I also ordered the malasadas and, while they aren't Leonard's quality, definitely scratched that itch. They were put in the box hot and the clerk wisely punched a good sized hole in it to let the steam out. They're about the size of lime and decently fluffy inside, a bit of crispness outside, cooked the right amount.

Will definitely come again!“

“Small, clean, and friendly staff. I have only had the chicken sandwich and Turkey Burger. ( Can't eat fatty foods) Both were delicious and tender. Definitely one of my top spots to eat for a sandwich since I have dietary restrictions. Looking forward to trying the veggie burger my next trip.

Vegetarian options: Has a veggie burger that looks delicious.

Dietary restrictions: I can't eat fatty foods, So I look for good chicken, veggie, and turkey burgers. This place is a top choice in San Leandro for me.

Parking: Mixed parking. Metered and timed parking.

Kid-friendliness: Family friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchairs should have no trouble. Keep in mind that this is a "small" spot to eat and no automatic door.“

“Amazing food!! Hands down the best toasts in the entire Bay Area and great coffee too! We ordered avocado toast and salmon toast - both were delicious, extremely fresh and great presentation! Delicious juice too, although the consistency was more of a lemonade, but nevertheless very refreshing and yummy. They also have mimosas and champagne-based coctails, along with berry oats, as an alternative to a toast in the morning - both of which are definitely on my list to try next.

Also very cute ambience and views from the cafe - will be back to this place very often!“

“Ribs are the best, falling off the bones and the fresh hot bread“

“Dear beautifully lady at the counter: I love you. Not just because you are beautiful...but because you make sure they don't skimp on the extra Mac salad“

“‘Ono grinds at a great price 🍹“

“This is a nice Thai BBQ place. We got Phad See-Ew with chicken, Chef's Special Seafood Combo Plate which came with Shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid. Fried shrimp & fried calamari, with a chicken fried rice. Everything was good except I felt the fried calamari and fried shrimp had to much breading on them we ended taking some of the breading off. Overall everything had good flavor, also the prices listed online are not the correct prices in store.“

“We ended up here tonight after a bad experience at Chuck E Cheese in the center next door. The service was quick and the food very tasty. We decided to order more for the folks at home.“

“We are not from the area and the hotel we stayed at didn’t have breakfast or coffee.. I looked up breakfast near me and this place popped up. We decided to try it. Everything seems very reasonably priced. My husband had the Lox bagel and said it was amazing. And I ordered an iced white mocha and I have to say I think it’s better than Starbucks! I wish we had one of these back where I’m from I’d be here almost everyday if I could!“

“Yummy food and great service!“

“Make sure to come and dine in at Toto’s Grill in Hayward! It definitely bring satisfaction to your cravings. When we miss filo food this place is the real deal. Can’t fault it from decors to little details, every food they serve is exquisite to our taste! Highly recommended *****“

“all the food there is great“

“Amazing food!! Very tasty and well prepared. The food can't get better, and the prices are fair for the portion size.Always a great spot to get island food 😋 👌 👍 Brought back memories; you can take girl out of Fiji but not Fiji from the girl. I highly recommend Fijian BBQ.“

“Entrance is on the parking lot side, not the street side.

Lots of parking and seating. Great for groups and families.

We’ve been here on two occasions and had the mandu, chives and jalapeño pancake, tofu soup, bulgogi, and spicy pork.

Staff were very kind and hard working.“

“So don't let the appearance deter you away from the opportunity to taste the food. There's not really inside seating it's more of a take and go. Is a couple of tables if they're available you can use them.

But, if you love fried fish this is the place for you. It's reasonably priced and the food is good. My favorite dessert was that lemon flavored pound cake.

I will say that I got the yams and they were okay, but would have been better if they'd have been a little bit sweeter and had more nutmeg.

I definitely would return

Parking: It's a tight parking spot so if you can't drive I don't recommend“

“The Korean fried chicken was delicious. The staff was a big help. They helped me pick out a good bottle of cold sake.“
