The staff at Canyon’s BBQ is always so welcoming, and the food is consistently great. I stopped in during the holidays and Debbie went above and beyond to helpful, truly excellent service! I got the large Gaucho sandwich combo with garlic and a mac & cheese side for $24, plus a regular turkey meal with mac & cheese, fries, and a slice of garlic bread for $16.50. All in, it was $45 and absolutely worth it. Would highly recommend!

After my granddaughter’s softball game, we decided to try Canyons Barbeque in Castro Valley for dinner. It was our first time there, and I can say we will definitely be going back.
We arrived a little late and unfortunately the ribs were already sold out. However, my husband ordered a rib sandwich, so we still got to taste the rib meat—and it was absolutely delicious. Next time we’ll make sure to get there earlier so we can order the ribs!
The mac and cheese was fantastic, the prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening.
While I was waiting at the bar for drinks, there was a very disgruntled customer who was extremely rude from the start. I had been behind him when we ordered, and unfortunately I witnessed his behavior toward the staff. One of the employees—whose name I believe was Rocco (forgive me if I misspelled it)—handled the situation like a total professional. Honestly, if I owned a business, I’d hire someone like him in a heartbeat.
Overall, the food was great, the drinks were wonderful, and the employees were amazing. We’ll definitely be bringing our family back again—this time early enough to get those ribs!

Dropped by for the first time. The place is quite loud as there are no acoustic materials to absorb sound. There are a number of seats inside but there are more seats outside.
We got here for dinner, but not sure if thats why the meats we ordered seemed dry. As if they were sitting in a warmer for a while. The bbq sauces did help out a bit. The chicken, tri-tip, and pork ribs were okay. But the burnt ends and brisket were dry and chewy. Oddly the coleslaw was too. The fries seemed dry, but the outside did have a crispness to it. The mac cheese was okay, but didn’t taste like cheese. Reminds me of powdered cheese.
As for the atmosphere, we noticed that some of the tables were wobbly and some were even skewed to one side.
Overall a 3 star place.

As someone who grew up in the south and has been looking for BBQ to scratch that itch, this is some of the best BBQ I’ve eaten on the west coast. I got the pulled pork sandwich and thoguht the meat was perfectly cooked. I also enjoyed the BBQ and Spicy BBQ sauce that you can pour yourself. Which is great, because I normally like a ton of sauce on BBQ sandwiches.

Everything was delicious! The outside seating is lovely. Their corn bread is the definition of PERFECT 4 meat combo plate with 2 side for $50 is a steal ( was able to share with another person and still were both satisfied with the portion size)

We were out exploring and thought we’d give this place a shot for dinner. The food was absolutely amazing, the inside was pretty cool, but the parking was a nightmare. They’re situated right next to a super busy intersection with loads of restaurants and every store you could possibly imagine. They didn’t even give us any napkins or utensils with our take out. I’m not sure if that’s just them or not. But, we did like the BBQ.

As a former Houstonian, incredible brisket. As a current Kansas City-an, dry/tough burnt ends. Ribs were good apparently though and beans, so 5 stars.

First time at the restaurant in Castro Valley. Friendly staff, cool outdoor dining area with live music, along with indoor seating as an option.
Good selection of meats and side dishes. Large selection of beers on tap.
Overall food was pretty good.
You enter the restaurant and place your order at the counter. Head to a table to start sipping our beers and wait for a text or food was ready.
The text arrived very fast, headed inside to pick up our three dine in meals.
Not thrilled with the fact the dine in meals are placed on the counter where people are sampling and ordering beers on tap….
Yes, I’ll go back mainly for the cool vibe and nice people.

I’ve heard a lot about this place here in Castro Valley. The burnt ends we’re okay just a little bit salty for me but other than that they were flavorful and very tender. The brisket sandwich I had was excellent juicy flavorful and the bread was perfect I will definitely come back again

Nice Bbq restaurant in Castro Valley near the marketplace. There is a decent selection of BBQ meats and sides with a couple of choices of sauces. There are a few good bbq restaurants in the east bay but this is a strong contender with nice flavors and good techniques for smoked meat. We like the ribs, sausages and brisket.
