I been there multiple times and their barbecue is delicious. I am not into spicy food, but i really like the spicy cheesesteak. Friendly staff. Nice area. And free ice cream.

I've been to this place more times in the last 2 months than can think of and the thing that draws me to the food is its difference in cooks and the sandwiches. The last sandwich was a grilled chicken sandwich, sort of like pulled pork but on a toasted sesame brioche bun with bbq sauce loaded with the wing stop fries and coleslaw. It was so good I saved some for my dog bandit and he kept motioning to put the their homemade sauce on the fries, I did... and instantly fell in love with the food again!

Always a good place for a solo rib lunch - $11.50 with tip food great with your attention- yes sometimes slow service but quality takes time

Inconsistent meat quality, but today's brisket and baby back ribs were delicious. We love their brisket baked beans, and the containers our beans came in were noticeably smaller than our last take-out order in February. What I want to point out to everyone is the "new" 8% Fair Wage Service Charge that I don't believe was on the February receipt. I did not see on the website any reference to this 8% Fair Wage Service Charge. Maybe they added it on April 1st when the Fast Food Worker minimum wage increased to $20? Just wanted to alert all patrons of this "new" 8% fee -- Buyer Beware!

I love this bbq joint! It's some delicious down home cooking! We need more bbq spots like this one!

Review based on delivery Two Way Combos Plate with Baby Back Ribs * Garlic Fries * Braised Spicy Greens for $26 Not a pretty presentation and the baby back ribs were a bit burnt but the meat was tender and delicious! I would get this again! The braised spicy greens were tasty but not spicy at least to me.

Their beef ribs are the bomb! I was there as they were getting ready to close so can't say more. I would return to try other things...but mostly to have their beef ribs again.

You can't beat the price for the food you get here. It is the best food in the mall. Quick easy fast. Excellent food for a very good price. The customer service is always excellent.

Even while staving on a cold rainy Sunday night I could find any comfort at this eating establishment. I'll cut to the chase. The meat made me so sad. I didn't know meat could be sliced so thin. I received 7 slices and I'd guess them to be about 1/32 of an inch thick. I've actually had beef brisket in Texas and Missouri and they would laugh if they ever saw this excuse of a brisket plate. Just made me want to cry a little. Oh and there are no condiments on the table and the chef/cook/whatever squirts about 1.17 ounces of BBQ on your brisket for you. Just more tears at this point. For the sides I order the Mac and cheese and beans. The beans were decent. The Mac and cheese was the most strange Mac and cheese I had ever experienced. I walked out about $30.00 poorer and will never go back.I'd give anything to see Chef Ramsey or a self respecting southerner go into this place.

Ribs were exceptional. Stuffed Baked Potato like youd make at home. This was a great place with very fast deluvery-like 20 minutes. Amazing here in Marin to find BbQ so good.

This was the worst meal and almost inedible. The brisket was dry and tough. It wasn't freshly smoked - they had to reheat the meat. Beans tasted like they opened a can. Cornbread also dry and old. The coconut banana pie tasted like the inside of a refrigerator.

Had the beef ribs and brisket. My son had fried chicken. The meats are ok. Tried the coleslaw, just chopped veggies, no taste. Won't be back.

Those poor workers have to put on a face and serve subpar BBQ... Expensive but taste like it came out of a morgue. Water moist pale brisket . I have eaten here at least 3 times.. the food gets worse and worse. Marin County is infamous for expensive living and bad food. Take your family to "Sol Food" they deserve better.

Unimpressed, average BBQ at extremely high prices. The physical set up is like a High School cafeteria. The staff controls the amount of BBQ sauce. Average food from a fast food environment definitely nothing to return to that store. Lunchtime midweek and I was the only customer in the restaurant. Because you place a wooden bear that was cut with a chain saw does not make it Authentic BBQ. Definitely absentee ownership abounds.
