Tried Tommy's for the first time tonight. The only reason I gave them a 2 was because the brisket I had on my stuffed potato was very good. Sadly, instead of the fire roasted Jalapeño on top of the potato as shown on the website, someone poured 1/2 cup of sliced pickled Jalapeños with their juices all over the top of the brisket. That's a sin. The juices permeated the entire dish. I also tried the collards which did not impress. Cut in shreds, under cooked with dry un-smoked pork (as opposed to a smoked hock). I tossed most of it.

The wife had a pulled pork sandwich. Pulled pork without any sauce. Dry as a bone. I had to break out the Bulls Eye so she could sauce it up. (No sauce in the bag either) Thank God I had them put the cole slaw on the side. I have traveled the south and been in California for 71 years. Never have I seen Kale (maybe) in the slaw. Big chunks of a bitter green. Again, most of this went in the trash.

A very expensive disappointment.

Tommy’s BBQ – 1611 Sycamore Ave, Suite C, Hercules (next to Home Depot)
Excellent smoked BBQ at a great value. The brisket and pork ribs were tender, juicy, and generously portioned. We ordered the 2-way combo with coleslaw and potato salad—everything was flavorful and satisfying. Portions were more than enough, and the customer service was top-notch. Definitely worth a visit. See pictures for bbqs, menu, price, and indoor very clean.

Absolutely loved the brisket taco l, so much I had to get another one and forgot to get a picture. I also tried the mild bbq sauce with some of the brisket out of the taco, so Good. Definitely a must try! Everyone was really nice as well.

By far the best BBQ in this area, maybe even the entire Bay Area.

The brisket was juicy, flavorful, and the smoke ring was quite noticeable. The ribs had a good bite and a perfect rub. The hotlink could be spicier, but I appreciate the less-than-usual fat ratio.

I randomly ordered this from the DoorDash local’s page and now it will become a regular spot for me.

Excellent food, the brisket may be the best I ever had. The sides are very good.

Amazing beef links!

Brisket was the only good thing on the menu, the ribs were dry, the sauce was bland. I would rather go to kinders !

I would put Tommy’s BBQ company up against any of the more popular BBQ spots across the Bay (Horns, Fiksque, Slow Hands, etc.). And if I’m going to be completely honest, I actually think this place is better. Tucked away in the small city of Hercules, I didn’t have to wait 1.5 hours and break the bank to get my bbq fix. The brisket was good but the star of the show was the ribs. They had a great dry rub and were cooked to perfection. Don’t let anyone tell you a “fall off the bone” rib is anything but an over-cooked atrocity. Tommy’s ribs had the juicy bounce, bite, and gentle tug that bbq enthusiast look for. Skip the line at the other places, come to Tommy’s

First time trying this and the turnout was pretty well. An actual bbq restaurant, there meats are soft and tender. Brisket was not dry but fresh. Ribs had the meat falling off the bone, and sausage links had two different types of flavor. I’m a fan of texas toast but to me this texas toast felt like it had too much batter, thick, and bland without the garlic butter. Mac n Cheese is perfect! The service was organized as a crew. Meat order is placed, one person cuts the meat, the other prepares the meal, and lastly person at cashier handles the orders being taken and hands food to the customer. Quite busy on a Saturday night, although prices are a bit high but the quality of meat matters.
