Barbeque Restaurants near Pinole

“Want to know what the food was like 60 years ago? The Embers keeps tradition alive with outstanding Hickey Pit style BBQ. Takes me back to the days before LSD, long hair and psychedelic music., when surfers were renegades, teenagers raced on the Great Highway and rock and rock was recorded on 2 tracks.
Long Live the Embers.“

“I ordered 22 individual meals for a company lunch. The food was prepared, boxed, and ready to go in less than an hour. They made sure to write who's food belonged to which employee on their boxes, and went over my checklist with me more than once to make sure nothing had been missed.

My staff loved the food and I received many comments about how good it was. I would rate this business higher than a 5 if I could.

Highly recommended. Thank you so much for your help!“

“Surprisingly good quality. I am very impressed by the taste and the portions. The meatball sub is the go-to for me. I would never pay full price for these, but a bogo is always worth it.

Parking: Parking here is horrible during lunch time. So many construction cars and amazon vans. Horribly designed parking lot.“

“These have to be the best ribs I’ve had in a long time.“

“Really great food. Cool building. The Classic Burger was Classic. Friendly staff. 5 star!“

“Phenomenal, mouth-watering, gigantic/generous portions, filling, fun! I especially recommend the Thursday Tri-Tip. Oooo and that to-die-for green sauce I forget what it was called. I look forward to having more and new things. Amazing people and service.“

“There’s nothing authentic about this place. The bbq is a 100% americanized version of real Korean bbq. With that being said the food itself overall was still good and the service was good as well. The bonchon wasn’t bad and the kimchi was pretty decent. The steamed eggs were sweet when they’re suppose to be savory and the kimchi jiggae wasn’t bad. Being Korean I’m gonna be more critical than the average reviewer.“

“My favorite place to get Chinese food. I’ve tried a lot of spots in Richmond and this place is by far my favorite. The food is freshly made and you can taste the quality of their ingredients. My go to is beef and broccoli with fried rice. I’m from the East Coast and Chinese food out there tastes way different than over here (and better in my opinion). Frannie’s is the closest I’ve gotten to back home <3 So good. My partner loves their Mongolian beef. The staff is friendly and it’s not a long wait. I HIGHLY recommend you try them out!“

“The smoke salmon is absolutely delicious“

“Some of the best BBQ I've had since moving to California. Not cheap but worth the money. Ribs are especially good. Great potato salad. The best BBQ sauce I've ever had. Worth the price of the food just for that sauce. Get it medium - just the right heat on it. We spent $100 on 5 hungry adults last time I was there. Enough to fill us up. Everybody loved it.“

“So very delicious. I got a plate with Ribs, coleslaw and Hush puppies. I am going to be thinking about The Flavor of the ribs until I go back again. Also Looking forward to trying other side dishes next time. The staff was great and checked I had everything before I left.“

“Sitting here reading all the reviews thinking man these people suck lol, best hawaiana ive ever had and the hole in the containers are to keep the food from steaming up, never once seen a fly in the kitchen and the portions are better than any hawaiin bbq ive ever had and the best macaroni salad and katsu sauce (ps they put the sauce in small bag now for the karens)“

“I'm not a fan of spicy food, but I am a fan of flavorful and delicious food! This place is the real deal, and worth EVERY dime spent. I can customize my food by asking for nothing spicy... and they comply! However, I must say that I'm addicted to the Crab Fried Rice!!! I don't have to customize any of it. I was even brave enough to order the Tom Tom soup which is Hot and Sour soup. This soup is a tasty medicinal soup for any stomach issues or cold and flu issues. What I like the most about this soup 🍲 is that my feet are dancing while I am basking in this flavorful dish You owe it to yourself to get wrapped up in the warmth and and flavorful aroma while healing your body and soul. I call this soup "A vacation in a bowl" and I challenge anyone to step up and try it, You'll thank me mm for the recommendation 😎👍. Toodles to all as I send you blessings, peace 🕊️ and safety to you and your loved ones ☺️🙏😎.“

“Excellent food , as good as any Hawaiian BBQ“

“Sandwiches, Ribs, Steaks, Deli Salads, Marinated Tri Tips and more.“

“Got the chicken katsu dish. Katsu is very crisp, use thigh meat, sauce is good, habanero sauce is killer, some pieces of katsu mostly breading with how thin the meat got but a large portion and so I do not feel skimped on meat overall. Steamed cabbage and broccoli provided give a nice break to the grease. Mac is on par with l&l. Would eat here again“

“Tried this local Salvadoran spot in Richmond and really enjoyed it. I ordered two beef tacos and an authentic Salvadoran-style horchata, and everything was on point. The tacos were flavorful, well-seasoned, and made fresh, and the horchata tasted homemade—not overly sweet and very refreshing. You can tell this is a family-run place that cares about the quality of their food. Always happy to support local businesses like this. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“I’ve always ordered the teriyaki plate with Mac salad and did order something for others and this place makes the best Hawaiian teriyaki reminded me of the flavors back home on Hawaii and there is a Moku’s back home and I appreciate the food from Moku Berkeley! My go to when I’m craving for food back home!!“

“Having been away from Richmond for over 25 years, I found myself home and looking for fish on Friday I went to where "Cutting Fish & Poultry" used to be.Thank God that Boulevard Fish had moved in.The catfish and oysters were amazing and not greasy, they were cooked to perfection.I had to return, and every time I'm home in the Bay Area I will be back.You will love Boulevard Fish, it's fresh, tasty, and filling.“

“Went to dinner with a few of my lady friends after seeing a show in the city, this was the perfect ending to a phenomenal day. I had the crab cakes and they were delish, a couple of people in my group had the fried chicken/fried catfish combo and that looks delicious as well. I highly recommend Lizzy’s Cajun Cafe.“

“There was an important item left out of my order last night. But when I went back today, the Asst Manager Brandon went over the top. He really hooked me up. Their food is good, but their service and attitude is the best!“

“My dad used to drink there in the 1980s and the Asian husband and wife couple who owned the bar bought him a last drink and told him never to come backThe bar was closed for about 10 or 20 years in the 1990s and the 2000sMy favorite part of the bar is spinning the wheel and trying my luck at free drinks cuz half the time it's a l**** deal but half the time it's a winner deal it's a nice bar most people are really coolFor a while they had a 8-bit Nintendo system and I'd play Castlevania and Super Mario Bros over and over again but they do have some arcade games and pinball games really nice“

“A little overpriced, but what isn't. The food is always good. Portions are hit or miss. I was full on my last visit, and I like that they have a low carb option. I've had the pork, beef, and chicken and it's all good. Need to try the seafood some time. Self serve water is always a nice touch.

Parking: Good luck finding parking.“

“Great Chinese food with authentic taste. They have a hotel next door which is connected to the restaurant and they are open till midnight. If you want great Chinese kebab, noodles, rice dishes, seafood, and dumplings. This is the place to be! Food is cooked fast and they accept card and cash. Will be coming back for the authentic and delicious Chinese spot next to Berkeley!“

“We just want to say that Kim and Phillip did a great job for our Thanksgiving dinner. We will definitely be going back for their barbecue pork feast at Christmas can’t wait if it’s as good as Thanksgiving was it’s going to be a hit with the family.“

“Love ❤️ this place ! For years now✌️😍“

“My first time at this location, and I see that it has low ratings because of the service, but luckily it's looks like I avoided the problem employee.Pros: Huge portions, piping hot, ready quicklyCons: Nothing special taste wiseIf you're really hungry, eat here.“

“The food is delicious, the fritters had years of not eating them were delicious [Original] La comida está deliciosa los buñuelos tenia años de no comerlos estaban deliciosos“

“Just went last Week and I went in feeling stupid trying to pull off a last minute get-together for a valued staff member at my dialysis treatment center and 15-18 other staff members. I came out very educated, because not only did they have the prices, clearly indicated, on the wall, they also had the small, medium and large aluminum family/Party size pans (shown on wall) to put the combo I purchased, in. I requested, but didn't need a Manager. The Cashier was fully knowledgeable about what I was stumbling and stammering over. That took 5 minutes, including payment for the order, (with her suggestion) after telling her what I needed it for.? She requested 20 minutes to prepare and I was on my way to the venue, in less, taking altogether a half hour. ? The meat was done and It was a hit!!!! They ARE a Great solution for last minute, especially when Grocery stores and caterers ask for 2 days! Marvelous job and I chose them for a Seafood combo and Loca Moco dish 2 days later, on Saturday. ??

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian selection. My Grandson is a Pescatarian. The Atmosphere is better than most and it is definitely ADA compliant.

Kid-friendliness: My Granddaughter is always in there for the Chicken teriyaki Masubis“
