We came for the food and it was good, but nothing more than that. In these cases I really feel sorry for places which do well, but there is an inflation of 5 stars, so 4 seems like a miss. It was simply too dry - was it a result of last batch sitting long or something else, but both tips and briskets were not as I expected them to be - a bit more succulent. Anyway - the place has a nice vibe and service was fast, so it is not a letdown.

Friendly barkeep. Affordable prices for local in house bbq. Pulled pork was great. Should have asked for a range of cuts for brisket but flavor good otherwise. Will be back for their pastrami and mescal paper plane!

Came here a few weeks ago for SF Restaurant Week and ordered off the prix fixe menu… $30 each for a main, two sides, and dessert. Bar and restaurant with mostly high top seating, dark and casual with games on TV. Staff was friendly. Arrived around 5pm on a Friday with no wait, though it filled up quickly after. We got the smoked pulled pork and mesquite BBQ chicken with various sides, both with nilla wafer pudding. Everything was delicious and felt like a proper hometown BBQ…...
