Well I must say this is the first good review I've made for this place in 11 years. The GM Ousmane was heaven sent! I wrote a bad review about a month ago, and he reached out and said he would make it better if we gave them another chance. Well he stands by his word, everything was perfect. He is a very good manager who really cares about his customers. So for that being said, please don't go anywhere else Ousmane, we will be back! Thank you! The Bay Area needs more people like you!

Every Thursday they have baked potato with your choice of meat topping. Pretty good but not consistent. Potatoes are pretty big

I'm from the south so I have big expectations when it comes to bbq. The service was amazing and I loved the atmosphere of the place! The food was also pretty good and I would recommend getting their briskets ‍

Spacious with nice background music.
Fast, efficient service at the bar.

Had to order the trinity.
Brisket, baby back ribs and chicken.

Cornbread with honey butter is reminiscent of Texas Roadhouse, but not quite as good.

Brisket shines supreme here. Better than Texas Roadhouse.

Baby back ribs and chicken, not as tender as Texas Roadhouse but I do like the jalapeño barbecue sauce here.

Give me another order of that brisket to go!
