37 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Danville

“Hazy is the best! You can’t beat the food and family friendly vibe, plus the live music on Fridays. Ooh and you’ve gotta try the burnt ends! We love Hazy!!“

“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.“

“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!“

East Bay BBQ

Fans of Texas-style BBQ have inevitably heard of Horn Barbecue based in Oakland and helmed by Pitmaster Matt Horn

I’ve never been to the original location and have read tidbits about the recent press issues but decided to stop by one of their newer locations and try for myself

The Lafayette space has been open a little less than a year (Dec 2024) and their Elk Grove location just opened (June 2025) with another fourth location already planned. It’s clear Horn is in expansion mode

I stopped by for dinner and many items were sold out including the Beef Rib (Sat only), multiple sides, and banana cream pie. Luckily, they still had brisket (both fatty and lean), pork ribs and shredded pork

Manning the station was Jordan Horn, the brother of Matt Horn and he was personable and funny talking about the expanding business and favorites of guests

We sampled the fatty brisket, pork ribs, and pulled pork and had a side of mac 'n cheese. Everything was solid. The brisket was flavorful but would have loved it more moist nor tender. Similar with the pork ribs. Pulled pork was similar to other places but definitely had to lean more into their supplied bbq sauce

Admittedly, we came at end of day and the brisket had probably finished hours before. Jordan also gave some great pointers on how to order next time and I appreciate that.

For barbeque fans, it's nice to have another option in East Bay (especially one that serves beef ribs) and not have to travel to Oakland

📷 Prime Brisket $38 per lb / Spare Ribs $34 per lb / Beef Rib (Sat only) $38 lb / Pulled Pork $27 per lb / Mac & Cheese $5 small

📍 Horn Barbeque (Lafayette, CA)

There is indoor and outdoor seating. All credit cards are accepted. Walk in only.“

“Our family has known Peni, Sherry,there kids and grandkids for over 12 yrs now. Once I saw and smelled the bbq over 12 yrs ago I gravitated towards it and have been a huge fan since. Their island q is the best on the mainland and I recommend trying it all since I don’t have a favorite. You can see the passion and love that this family puts towards sharing a little bit of their heritage through their food with all of us. I highly recommend giving it a try and definitely passing the word to others. Spend some time and say hi and you might also have friends for life. Mahalo 🤙“

“A wonderful dining experience. Our server was top notch. Attentive but not annoying. The food was delicious and generous. My prime rib was excellent.
Just a very nice and memorable experience. I think our waiter's name was Manny or Manual. In any event, every thing was great, service food and atmosphere 👌“

“I’m so happy to have L and L back! There used to be one on Crescent Drive(a couple blocks away) and I was heartbroken when it shut down. I moved away for a while and imagine how awesome of a surprise it was to see my favorite Hawaiian BBQ spot has returned just before I moved back! ???
The employees are all super friendly, the food is always cooked to perfection, and the dining area is kept clean and tidy.
The only thing that would make this place better is if they would extend their hours on Friday/Saturday nights. A lot of other restaurants in the area close at 9pm on weeknights and 10pm on weekends so I was surprised/bummed to see that they close “early” in comparison.“

“This place is a jewel on E14 at San Leandro Blvd. Food is good and affordable.2 choice with side is $10 with tax. 3 courses family dinner with choices is $39.99.
Credit card accepted with minimum of $15.00
Dinning room sit in available. Chinese BBQ.Roast pork,duck and steam chicken Chinese style are available. Good quality and quantity food at an affordable price.👍❤️“

“Absolutely amazing. Had a family picnic. The food was excellent, everyone enjoyed everything. Quality & quantity was way beyond expectations. Delivery was smooth & right on time. I will definitely be using Slow Hand BBQ again. Thank you!“

“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 ^_^,!,,!“

“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.“

“Really liked this spot. I like the ordering system. I was greeted warmly by the two employees I initially had contact with. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich, very filling and the biscuit was so good. I had one pancake and man was that delicious! The parking is also a plus. Will definitely come back to check out other options!“

“Amazing food including the New York steak“

“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.“

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

“This is one of the better, if not best Kinder’s locations. Their staff is friendly and attentive, and the quality of their food is consistently good.

This visit, I got the Cali chicken club, and it was perfectly delicious and filling.“

“I came here from Sacramento visiting family, and boyyyyy let me tell you the foood was so delish I literally never tasted anything so goood in my life especially the bbq chicken and Mac n cheese. I got my mom the California burger and tator tots and she loved it. Everyone was helpful and patient. Definitely would come here again and 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!“

“First time eating here and it was FIRE!!! RIBS & BRISKET WAS SOOOOO GOOOOOOD the collar greens was one of the best I've had around here corn bread and hush puppies were also good. I would eat here once a week if I lived closer. GREAT JOB! I'LL BE BACK!“

“First time trying this place on 5/9/25 and I must say it’s pretty darn good. Service was great and the food was amazing. Fish was seasoned well and the sides was good although my rice was kinda clumpy. Service was fast also and I will definitely recommend coming here for some good food. I also liked the little jukebox playing the old school music.“

“So proud to be part of such a great team at such a well known, much loved, well respected establishment. Love my coworkers;we perform together like a well oiled machine... Love my customers & take a great deal of pride providing service that's just a cut above the competition... There IS NO competition, really. Finally another employer who shares my own values about how clients& coworkers ought be treated. We rise by lifting others. Thank you Justin Kinder for taking a chance on me.“

“Cannot recommend this place enough. High quality food, generous portions, and the price is right. We come to this spot every time we visit family in the East Bay. Strangely not a ton of people, at least not on a Saturday night, so it’s not crowded.“

“First time here and I was surprised at how much I LOVED the pulled pork. It was nice and crispy, just how I like it! Both the mild and spicy sauces are delicious. My husband also enjoyed the ribs and jalapeño stuffed sausage. Service was quick and very friendly.“

“This place hands down is the best Hawaiian plates in the 510. The chicken is fat. The beef is fat. The Mac is hella good. And the plates are priced very well. This place is a solid go too. And the lady that works the counter is always nice.“

“Thank you so much to the staff. The food was comforting and delicious. The banchan was tasty and flavorful, the beef brisket soup is great, the ddukbokgi has a good flavor, the bibimbap has high-quality ingredients, etc. The staff are working hard and more people should come here. My family and I have been here multiple times. The staff were nice enough to take us in 20 minutes before they closed.“

“Are you Team Hot Pot OR Team Dry Pot? If I can't have both, then I'm prob Team Dry Pot when it comes to malatang! For those who love building their own bowls, you have to bookmark this place! The concept is fun and simple. Grab a bowl, fill it with ingredients you want, weigh it (they charge by weight), then let the cashier know your pot preference (soup or dry) and spice levels.

The spice levels are serious here, so be ready to break a sweat. They have a little sauce bar too which adds a nice touch to both types of bowls. Pricing is fair here, especially if you get mostly meat, and I definitely had enough leftovers for another meal to take back.“

“‘Ono grinds at a great price 🍹“

“This is my favorite Korean bbq place in the area. I love the food. It is always delicious. The staff there are always super nice and caring. I recommend this restaurant for those wanting some Korean bbq.

Parking: Very limited space for parking, but it’s never full“

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

“I enjoy the chicken 🐔 and Rice“

“We recently visited Go Goong and were looking forward to trying their BBQ pork. While the food itself was okay, flavorful enough—the overall experience was underwhelming. The portion size was quite small considering the price, and the ambiance didn’t live up to what you’d expect at that price point. What really stood out, unfortunately, was the service. The waitress was unexpectedly rude, which dampened the mood and made us feel uncomfortable throughout the meal. It’s disappointing when service overshadows the food. We wouldn’t rule it out entirely for a quick bite, but it’s not a place we’d go out of our way to visit again.“

“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 *****“

“Pricey, but extremely good. Very authentic. Went for the tofu soup, but loved the bulgogi. A large number of sides, each delicious -- the best kimchi I have ever had. Also the best katsu -- not at all dry. Even the rice was much better than average.“

“They’re on my top 3 places to get a good hamburger. I love their sauces selection, hard to pick one with your side of fries! ?

I have tried most of their menu and everything has been really good in flavor. They are great at getting your food quickly ?“

“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!!!!“

“As far as Mexican pan dulce (pastries) goes, they are pretty good at it. The basic pastries are more affordable. The pastries with filling and all the extras cost a little more. Be prepared, don't wanna read the nonsense on Nextdoor that it costs too much. Just because it's Mexican it doesn't entitle anyone to expect to pay less than your Starbucks or Peet's pastries with similar ingredients.“
