26 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Clayton

“Fresh and delicious! I’ll be back for sure 😋“

“I loved my experience here! The food was amazing and the sauces were delicious. Aaron the owner treated us like family. You must go try it- you will go back again. Bring your own alcohol as they are new and don’t have their liquor license yet.“

“Recommend! That said, it is FOOTBALL SUNDAY 🏈 and your taps are DRY for HenHouse, Altamount Maui, and SpaceDust? Come on boys!!! Pass for today but will be back!!“

“Excellent service from start to finish. This was our first time visiting Kinder, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The service was smooth, friendly, and made us feel truly valued as guests.

Honestly, it was one of the best service experiences my wife and I have had at a restaurant in California. We felt comfortable, well taken care of, and excited to come back.

Highly recommend Kinder to anyone looking for great service and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“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.“

“We always have a great experience at Back 40. The food is great, and especially for the cost. No matter what day or time we go we get great food, healthy, fresh and fast. The staff are amazing. Ricky and Amanda are the absolute best. Patrick is a great manager, and Jerome is also great. We eat in the bar area or restaurant depending on our mood, or how busy they are. No matter what we get fast, friendly service. The staff never fails to acknowledge repeat customers with friendly hellos even if they aren’t your server for the day. Great separate areas for large party, and upstairs for small or large banquets. Amazing food and drinks for the price. Way better than fast food.“

“Sooo sooo good! Great Service“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin & cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.“

“When we visit NorCal we always make as many stops here as possible. I think we’ve covered a lot of the breakfast/lunch options and we’ve been very pleased. The food is always fresh and tasty but some standouts are any of the omelettes and Benedict dishes. I love their blueberry power scone, but a family favorite is the zucchini bread which personally I find just a bit too sweet. The salads are fresh and filed with a wide variety of veggies. My recent tuna salad was so big that I took half of it home.
The service here is outstanding, all lovely smiles and attentiveness.“

“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!“

“I'm confused by the lack of recent reviews.. i went here the other night because they were open til 11:45pm which is awesome cus i clock out at 11.. went with a safe order, some zhangzhou rice n a couple chx skewers.. this place is the real deal whoevers reading this, you can safely ignore the old shitty reviews. The food was just insanely good.. not a particularly complicated dish but its one of those.. anyone can do this but few have mastered it* 100% worth it to try this place out. Happy new year everyone ^_^,!,,!“

“Food has always been bomb here. BBQ Sauce is slammin' and I love ordering the links and ribs! They got my order wrong but we're so awesome, friendly, and quick to make it right! Staff was friendly and professional. They take good care of the customers and I felt very welcomed and appreciated. We eat here often but this was the first time I got to pick up the food and meet these awesome people working hard and cooking good! Go support them!“

“Amazing find! Had a quick lunch here the price was very reasonable (lunch special menu). The small dishes (complimentary appetisers) tasted very authentic and goes well with the rice. Would recommend anyone to come try authentic Korean food at good price!“

“It’s all good very good barbecue sauce so tasty“

“I stopped by expecting a basic experience as I was charging my car nearby. I was blown away by the customer service to start, everything was explained in a way that was easily digestible(literally) and the Ball-Tip sandwich recommendation was right on point. Sandwich was probably one of the best I’ve had in my life ,next time getting extra meat. Before heading out I was greeted by a different cashier, a young lady ,and asked her could I buy a single rib to try, after trying the ribs I know for sure this place is a favorite of mines now for sure! 5 stars!“

“I catered a small surprise party from Toastique for my husband's 50th. The plans were last minute, but Linh was most helpful. She worked with me to sort through options, and helped me come up with a menu that worked well for a Sunday brunch. Loved the toasts we ordered (avo smash, greek and pb crunch) and the fresh juices were an absolute hit. The fruit platter was oh so good. Everything looked beautiful! Linh was very flexible and delivered on time.“

“Authentic and excellently prepared traditional Korean dishes. This is my go to Korean restaurant in Concord/Walnut Creek area. Highly recommend this restaurant. However, if you want Coke Zero, they don’t have it so every time I go there, I always ask for Coke Zero just to place a seed into their minds to try stocking it.“

“I hired Willy to make me 9 pounds of his smoked brisket and baked beans for my Chanukah party for 30 people. Everything was DELICIOUS and easy to heat up in the containers that he gave me.
All of my party goers were happy and content with their meal.!
I definitely recommend this business! It was a pleasure working with Willy.“

“Our experience with Kinders catering was a 10! The food was delicious! Everyone THANKED US for great food at a wedding! The ribs, lime chicken, and potato salad were huge hits. Ryan and his staff were great to work with! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next event, and consider for a wedding and make everyone happy!“

“It’s always hot when I DoorDash it and so fast. I just really wish it was spicy. You order extra spicy and it’s not even a little bit spicy. And I’m not some spicy enthusiast or anything so it’s not like I have a crazy tolerance or something“

“Excellent American plates, especially the tri-tip platter. Generous portions all around. Rarely does anyone in our family leave food on the plate. But here, we even took some half plates to go. They recommend medium rare on the tri-tip and that’s exactly the right taste. Love the bbq sauces on the table. And love the sides, especially the mixed veggies and sweet potatoes. You can’t go wrong here. Can’t wait to come back and try something else. Easy street parking or lots nearby. Put this place on your list the next time you’re in Walnut Creek.“

“I love this place specifically in the mall, i cannot recommend enough! I get it every time I go to round 1 and the portons are CRAZY. For 2 entree and 2 side its like 20 bucks with a drink, and i cant finish it. Their rice is perfect as well and I love the kimchi.
(Try the spicy bbq chicken get a piece of kimchi and top it with rice, and eat it all at once. So good!)

It is in a food court so it's very noisy and it can be hard to find clean tables on a busy day, but thats more of a mall thing rather than Plus 82.

Something that i didnt like too much is that on your bank statement it shows at BOBA N ME. Probably a parent and child company situation, but i was thoroughly confused till i thought about why that was on my statement. That is just financial stuff though and doesnt take away from the experience of the food.“

“Absolutely Loved This Place ❤️“

“Good food with a home cooked feel.This is small family run place and these are the kind of places that warm my heart to eat at. The entire family is prepping food, working in the kitchen, behind the counter. They are all friendly and did I mentioned the food is really good?Definitely will be back.“

“yes I do Jess about server Jess was amazing Xtra then normal she makes sure we have a great experience no bs for sure amazing jess.mn“
