The place is good, people is very nice and the food is so delicious.

I am sad this location closed! It is delicious!!! The vibes always amazing, good music, spaces for large groups, children, pets. The outdoor patio area just a great addition to the lovely Laurel neighborhood. I hope they make a comeback.

This place was good until they let fear dominate their lives. They were so anal with the masks and seemed scared to even be open. So sad, I guess BBQ and betas don't pair well.

OMG! I'm so sad the Oakland location is closed. I tried their burger for the first time last week. It was so delicious that I've been craving for it ever since. Now, I'll have to drive to SF location to get it. :(

We are devastated to hear that this location is closed indefinitely, but we understand the tremendous strain that small businesses are experiencing right now. Please reopen some day in the future! We will be waiting!Hands down best burger I've ever had. Great quality meat and ingredients so it's worth every penny. The sauces are delicious (try the white sauce and burger secret sauce). Solid beer selection.Wonderful, friendly staff and quick service. We got takeout every week and they remembered our special additions every time -- great community vibe. The outdoor dining space is delightful.

People who work here are really nice, otherwise i would give it one star. I think it's very overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. Most recently got a small ice cream cone and it was pitiful for the cost, not to mention the machine wasn't cold enough and it was basically a melty mess. Don't get the soft serve!

Really upset about a delivery order. We love 4505 it has been a treat for our family since they opened in our neighborhood. We are both small business people and understand the pressure on businesses to stay afloat right now. So we splurged on $50 for a burger, chicken sandwich, fries and potato salad. The chicken sandwich had no top bun and the burger was extremely overcooked and just a bun and lettuce, no condiments, no sauces. When we complained they did nothing.We used to love this place but pretty bummed our splurge fell so flat and the business was not more responsive.
They have amazing food- I usually get the chicken plate with sides of potato salad and beans- and the service: in-person, on the phone, or through a food delivery app is relatively quick and efficient. The workers are always friendly and helpful.

COVID dinner night and we decided to try this place out for the first time. We got the Smoked Rib Plate with fries and the Frankeroni. I'm partial to St Louis Style ribs and while these were not St Louis Style they were delicious and super meaty. The Frankeroni was to die for and the Fries were yum too. Two of us shared one plate (we are watching our weight so if your super hungry get your own). We ate at their outdoor dining tables. Please note that their bathrooms are closed to patrons. They had plenty of hand sanitizer out, gave great instructions on their mask policy and had someone sanitizing the tables between patrons. I was disappointed that there was no place to actually wash my hands especially since just about everything I ordered was hand held. Last thing I loved about this place was that they are eco friendly.

Great food my only issue is that when I spend $25 on food for just myself I expect to be full at the end of it...

Yes, they are open with patio dining. Their patio was covered, so it wasn't too bright or windy. But it's great if you have pets or a stroller with a baby. When we got there, part of the restaurant area was closed off so one party at a time could order food. They take your number so they can text you to pick it up. Then, you can find a seat on their patio, which has picnic benches spaced out, bussing stations and hand sanitizer stations everywhere. Everyone working there also has a mask on, so we weren't worried. We haven't been there before, so we just got burgers, one with bacon and one with egg. We also got spicy fries and coleslaw. I have to say, the coleslaw was one of the best slaws I've ever had. And the spicy fries were amazing, too! The burgers were great too, but I was really impressed with the sides. We loved them so much that we ordered seconds!The host and hostess were also really great and kept checking on us to make sure we were doing great, from at least 6 feet away.There's also a small kid area where kids can play and we saw one of the workers clean it. Our baby was asleep, but I guess they knew we'd let her play there once she woke up. We are definitely going back and are excited to try everything else on the menu!
