Brisket

“By far the best bbq I've had in the bay. I never post on yelp and had to for this. I got the waygu brisket and it was phenomenal, a great crust and smoke ring while being super tender. The owner Harmas is a really nice guy, I wish they were open more.“

Fried Chicken

“One of the best fried chicken in a long time. It looks dry but there's a lot of juice and flavor once you get into it. If it was delivered I don't think it would taste as good. The fried cod was good but not great because it wasn't juicy or buttery soft.The cornbread sides were yummy. The Mac and cheese was cheeeeesy and thick and medium spicy. Collard greens were normal. Green beans were sweet and yummy. Fries were normal fries.I asked for tap water since I didn't want a drink and the server looked surprised (and partly disgusted because I wanted faucet water?) and asked if I wanted bottled water instead. I said sure so we could end the conversation and didn't see the charge on the final receipt. I wasn't sure if the server forgot to add it or bottled water is free. Overall not a complaint but if you want to avoid drink confusion, either don't order water or bring your own lol“

“I finally got to try this Smoked BBQ. Overall I say the Pulled Pork Plate they offer this time is good. They are not a regular BBQ restaurant with regular hours. What I would do is sign up through their website: ibringdasmoke.com and get notification when he cooks. Ordering process was easy and painless and the same for pick up. I was hoping for some brisket, but unfortunately this time around was only pulled pork. So I ordered and tried it. The dry rub coasted on the pork was perfectly seasoned on the outter area, I wish the inner & center meats would have the same. But the pork was very tender went well with the smoked pear bourbon habanero sauce. 4 Stars The Delta Slaw is one the the best coleslaw I ever had. Made with MAYO-FREE combination of hand-cut green and purple cabbage, orange and red peppers, carrots, and green onion in a brown sugar, apple cider vinegar & celery seed dressing. 5 Stars. The Smoked Poblano Mac with fusilli pasta wasn't creamy or cheesy cheddar and gruyere sauce was a little water down. 3 Stars. Next time hopefully I can substitute, the Mac with extra slaw. The Brown Sugar Bourbon Banana Pudding, all I'm going to say is WOW!!!!! YOU MUST TRY!!! On your next smoked, please have briskets and ribs..“

Catfish

“I got the 333 combo with three fried oysters, three fried shrimp, and three pieces of fried catfish. Everything was cooked PERFECTLY! Moist and tender meat with a crispy crust. Absolutely classic. The combo was a lot of food! It came with Louisiana style hot sauce, tartar sauce, and ketchup, as well as plenty of fries.Service was cheerful and very friendly. There isn't any seating, so it's really take-out only.The one minor criticism I have is that the fries were pretty mediocre, but they really aren't the main attraction here anyway.“

“So good I signed up for google reviews just to reply lolThis place had hella friendly staff. None of us ever went before and after this and the great treatment and food, my uncle William gave a good tip and we’re definitely gonna come back around next time we’re all by Hayward. Best staff ever!So worth it for a mid-priced eatery place. Just a heads up though theres no Vegetarian main plates, so I had to stick with veg-friendly sides but the big cajun fries plate they have here slapped! Would definitely go again“
