Barbeque Restaurants near San Carlos

“William BBQ had the Aloha spirit. Talked with Lon and shared my thoughts about his restaurant. I was disappointed that he did not have the most common dish -- teriyaki beef plate, however, maybe next time.

The kid's bowl was perfect . We enjoyed chicken katsu and the grilled shrimp
bowl. Substituted rice for the mac salad...that was nice of him to do so. Went away filling full after a hearty lunch.

We'll be back, Lon. Aloha & Mahalo“

“I don't know what these people are saying about the food. I took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the ribs, French fries, and beans (which I got mac n cheese which was a mistake but I wasn't going to sweat it like these other haters). The ribs had a tasty rub, the original BBQ sauce was good, and the meat fell right off the bones. I don't know what people are saying on these reviews, because my meat was not dry at all. Give them a try and make up your own mind. Not sure about the location since I door dashed my order, but glad I found a place that is good bbq when I'm craving it.“

“My girlfriend and I visited this restaurant on Thursday night, and it was a fantastic experience. During dinner, there were only about five tables occupied, making for a relaxed atmosphere. The decor is authentically Japanese, while the playlist had a chill vibe with American pop hits.

We ordered one sake and a few skewers, and I highly recommend trying the Beef Tongue—it’s incredibly tender and flavorful. The other BBQ skewers were also delicious.

Another highlight is the happy hour from 9:30pm to 11:30pm, where you can get buy-one-get-one-free beer.

Overall, I’d rate the food 5/5, drinks 4/5 (the sake was a bit strong for us), and the restaurant itself 5/5 for the ambiance and experience.“

“This place hits different, everything was so good. Couldn’t even name anything that wasn’t good. Loved the ribeye, pork belly and vermicelli with scallop. Had to order it again, just that good. Nice service and atmosphere, very nice music taste too!“

“So delicious!! When we saw this place opened we knew we had to try it. We loved the tri tip and the brisket. My husband got ribs and liked those too!! After visiting Georgia and South Carolina it’s hard to find BBQ as good but this comes as close as we have found in the Bay.“

“Can't give enough stars.
Tried to phone in an order to save time because my puppy was in the car. They said
You can bring him in.
He's not house trained yet.
It's ok, bring him in. Is he cute?
He is.
Wow, above and beyond customer service.
I sat outside at a table with Waffles, they brought him multiple bowls of water.
I interacted with 4 or 5 staff one nicer than the next, all happy the puppy was there.
In my long life I have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant.
The barbecue and sides, ALL proper.
Some nice fatty brisket, and ribs that we're great unsauced. And a variety of tasty sauces. Pickled things were perfect.
I'm a large person and their 2 meat plate is much more than I should eat, but I finished everything.
I live nowhere near Redwood City but I'm going there again.
Thanks to all of you.“

“On a Tuesday night 7pm, there is still 15 minute wait. This place is popular. You order off a QR code and the system supports multi user ordering for the same table. The skewers are tasty. I wish the skewers are spicier so next time I will put in an extra request. You get a birthday gift bag if you show your ID on the day of your birthday!“

“This place is amazing! The spare ribs are bbq'ed right in front of you along with all of the other meats. The owners are kind and very personable. :) I went here two days in a row. Delish!“

“Had my favorite Sourdough Double Cheeder Cheese with Grilled Onions Patty Melt. I don't order this often. It was a special treat kind of day. For my side, I ordered the Sweet Potato Fries. Best meal combo, patty melt, SP fries, with cold Iced tea. ?, ?,
and ?. ?“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“Ok, this is great food! Awesome Barbecue and Fried Chicken. Menu is on the website. Don’t forget to tip!“

“Friendly and helpful staff, great environment, attentive. my first time having Caribbean food and got the jerk chicken, the extra sauce is highly recommended for the extra kick.“

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“We love this restaurant! Great food and beer menu and wonderful staff Food is sourced locally and in the 5 years that we have been coming here, we have always had great meals and superb service!“

“This spot is bringing a unique dining experience to the Bay Area! The food truck specializes in Korean food that's made by robots.

Currently, the food truck only operates in Foster City for delivery or pickup. When you order through their app, the robots will start making the meal about 6 to 8 minutes before it's ready to be delivered. This means your food is always hot and fresh! The portion sizes can easily feed two people. The best part is there are no service fees or delivery charges! The flavors of each dish were so good! The wagyu was my favorite ?. Each dish is served with rice, banchan and seaweed.

They're opening a brick and mortar restaurant later this year in San Mateo, so be sure to check that out as well.“

“Stopped by for lunch on a Saturday. The food was overall very flavorful, and spicy! We got the cauliflower dry pot, Fuqi Feipian, Dan dan noodles, and a lamb skewer.

One thing we appreciated was that the dry pots were smaller than most other restaurants we have been too (also cheaper) so you're able to order more dishes in one sitting, instead of the dry pot being enough for two people. The Dan dan noodles were technically not on the menu, but the owner/employee let us order it still.

Overall, highly recommend, a great restaurant with reasonable prices.“

“Went here with some friends, got the hot assorted tofu stew and it was delicious. The side dishes were good and the servers were very attentive, even when we sat outside. They moved the heater closer to make sure we weren’t too cold. 10/10 would go again“

“Ordered party platters for party of 30 the day before the party and it was ready on-time. Ordered medium trays but should have gotten small since we had other food. They are very generous and the meat is piled in the trays. We ordered spam musubi, chicken Katsu and bbq chicken. All were really good. I was eating the left overs for almost a week even after sending food home with everyone. Bbq was good everyday after. Katsu because it is fried was ok. I love the Katsu sauce. There was no musubi left over. We cut the spam musubi in half so everyone could have a piece. Not cheap but makes your life easier and tastes great.“
