Cole's Bar-B-Q is known for its friendly service and great food, offering a neat outdoor seating area just a block from the beach. The pulled pork sandwich is a popular choice, although some may find it a bit fatty and saucy. Other menu items include fries, potato salad, and pork ribs. While the ribs may be slightly undercooked and the fries can be a bit limp, customers have found success in finishing them off at home. The barbecue sauce is praised for its flavor, and customers can purchase jars of Everett & Jones sauce in Oakland or make their own. Despite a previous location in Aptos, Cole's remains a top BBQ destination for locals.
