Overall great BBQ place. I’m an avid smoked beef rib and brisket connoisseur and have tried plenty of places across the country. This was easily the best bbq in the Bay Area that I’ve tried. Both the dyno ribs and brisket were great. If you’re looking for Texas styled smoked bbq in the bay, THIS is it!

I drive 30 mins just to have BBQ here. It's really good and the best bang for your buck when it comes to quality & cost.

First time getting the chicken kids meal. Included smoked chicken, Mac & cheese, corn bread & bottle of juice. it's a lot of food for such a small cost about $7, for perspective about the price of a happy meal but with way better ingredients. Also surprised it was a full bottle of juice. I was expecting small carton box...

Discovered this place just walking by, was actually heading to the Mexican food place next-door but thought I would give it a try, pretty dang good, my only complaint is they cut the brisket with the grain rather than against, I took it home and cut the brisket properly, against the grain, and it was good!
