Everett & Jones Barbeque was started by Dorothy Everett with her eight daughters, one son and one son-in-law (Jones) in Oakland, California in 1973. Dorothy and her husband Cleveland were born and came of age in rural Alabama, in a small town named Westpoint. With three children and another on the way, the family decided to seek new opportunity in California. In 1952, Cleveland Everett departed Alabama first to find work and a place for the family to live and Dorothy followed later with the children. Eight years later Dorothy and Cleveland separated leaving Dorothy to care for the children.

I was received with smiles and a friendly welcome. Unfortunately it did not last and I was left feeling treated as if I spat on the floor or something. I was craving mac&cheese and I chose to ignore the 4.1 rating (I usually eat at 4.5 and up) because the mac & cheese looked really good. I ordered brisket and ribs, mac & cheese, Yams and a cornbread muffin.
Everything came out quickly and I was excited to eat. Right away I noticed the mac & cheese looked matte. Like how it looks after it’s been in the fridge all night, so in other words, cold. I started with the brisket and I was disappointed. It was quite dry. It reminded me of Arby’s, which I had once like 25 years ago. So, I moved on to the ribs. The ribs were tender and the sauce was nice. Then I tried the mac. It indeed was cold. I could eat it, but I could taste the flavor and I liked it. I tried the Yams, they were also cold. Now I’m upset why would you bring me cold food? So I decided to try the cornbread with another piece of brisket, but if was very very cold. The coldest of all the sides. Well, there goes that. The waitress came to check on me and asked how everything was. I smiled and replied that I liked the ribs, they were tender, the brisket was a bit dry, the mac & cheese and Yams have good flavor, but they were cold, so I couldn’t eat them and the cornbread was also cold. Her expression was upset and irritated. Mind you, I was smiling and complementing the things I liked and I wasn’t rude or snooty or anything, because I don’t believe in being rude. Well, she does. She apologized and brought me new “hot” sides, but never came back. I waited 30 minutes before finally getting up to go and pay. She attended all the tables next to me, but ignored me, didn’t bring me my check and although she was at the register next to where I was checking out, she kept her head down and wouldn’t make eye contact with me at all, and yes I still left a tip because, again, I am not a rude person. As for the “hot” sides. Well, it was very obvious they were nuked in a microwave. The cornbread was hard, very hard. The mac & cheese had some over nuked parts that’s weren’t edible and the Yams, well they just didn’t taste that great after all. Oh, I almost forgot, I had ordered peach cooler, I never got it. I guess the waitress didn’t want to interact with me after I shared the brisket was dry and the sides were cold, so she never brought it to me. I did NOT take a to-go box for my leftovers. Oh well, at least the ribs were decent and the mac, once nuked was decent too. 6.5/10

I am writing this after giving this establishment multiple chances to correct an ongoing issue. Yesterday, I placed two separate orders, one mild and one medium, on two separate tabs specifically because this location has incorrectly prepared my sauce order five times before. Despite taking extra precautions to prevent confusion, both meals were prepared with medium sauce again.
When I arrived at my destination and tasted the “mild” order, it was clearly medium and too spicy for me to eat. I had to drive back to the restaurant to address the mistake. The replacement portion was noticeably smaller than my original order, which raised additional concerns about consistency and quality control.
I called and spoke with Henry, who apologized but stated I would need to return again in order to receive a refund or correction, even though I had already made multiple trips due to the restaurant’s error. This is not an acceptable resolution when the mistake originated in the kitchen.
When I returned and attempted to speak with the owner, Darcey, I was met with dismissive behavior. She put her hand up to stop me mid-sentence and asked, “You want your money back, right?” There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the repeated pattern of mistakes, and no interest in hearing customer feedback. The only solution offered was a refund, not accountability, not corrective action, not even a conversation.
The refund itself was handled in a way that contradicted what I was told on the phone. I was instructed I had to return for it, yet my card was not required to process it. Meanwhile, my time, gas, and the opportunity to make other meal arrangements were all wasted because of repeated negligence.
This is not about one incorrect sauce. This is about a pattern of carelessness and a refusal to listen when customers bring legitimate concerns forward. Businesses that value their community take feedback seriously, especially when the same issue has occurred multiple times.
As an Oakland native who continues to support Oakland businesses, I expect professionalism, respect, and basic operational consistency. Dismissing customer concerns and showing visible frustration when confronted does not reflect well on ownership or management.
If this establishment wants the community’s continued support, it must prioritize quality control and customer service. Accountability is not optional in business, it is the foundation of it.
I hope this feedback leads to real change. Until then, customers should be aware of the inconsistency and the level of service they may encounter.

Bonafide! Ribs fell off the bone. Brisket was softer than a cats fur. 3 people pigged out and I got a big ol beer was $70 not bad at all for the quality and we got an extra mac n cheese too

Really enjoyed the meal. Good BBQ is rare in the City; it’s often whitewashed and not for me. Bonus points for being black-owned. Glad my partner suggested this place. It was rainy, so it was not busy. There was only one other table and some people at the bar. Cozy spot with smooth R&B and a few TVs that aren’t hella distracting.
Our server, who also hosted, was great–knowledgeable and attentive, even after the bill was paid. We waited less than a minute at the host stand before being seated at a lovely table by the window.
Note to future guests: look for the host stand; don’t expect a sign. Be patient, someone will seat you. I’m a host and can’t stand self-seaters.
We chose the combo plate with mac and cheese and collard greens. Food and drinks arrived quickly. The lemonade was fresh, unlike the watery one I had elsewhere.
My eyes were bigger than my stomach because the portions were large enough for leftovers. The mac and cheese was perfectly cheesy. Cornbread was fluffy and warm. The greens could have had less pepper and more salt, but they were tasty. Ribs were my favorite, juicy and tender. Links and brisket were also good.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for casual, no-frills BBQ.

I used to go to Everett & Jones almost daily, their food taste like momz in the back cooking it herself, it’s the bomb, when that barbecue is on your finger tips; you already know there will be no paper towels getting that off your fingers, no no; 9 times out of 10 your going to nonchalantly lick those fingers. And I didn’t even mention the desert, pecan pie, cheesecake, sweet potato pie, yeah they’re doing it like that.. yep yep ladies and gents; oh I forgot to tell y’all about those callit greens. I know
I did not spell it right, but I also know those colic greens are delicious. You don’t hear me though. Gotta go, getting hungry ✌

Been about 3 and a half years since I’ve been here. Menu changed and prices went up but never disappointed with this venue. Nice atmosphere when you walk in. Wait staff was professional and nice. Food came all at once and in a very timely manner. For some it might be a little pricy but for me well worth the dollars spent. The ribs and sausage links earned a PHD. (Piled Higher and Deeper ) Completely satisfied with this venue and will be coming back when I return…

Service excellent. Ribs chewy with a lot of fat. Collards greens mushy, Potato salad not good. Macaroni and cheese good. Carmel cake was ok too. I Ended up throwing everything else away. I am from Atlanta been trying to find a good spot. But this was not it food wise. Atmosphere great and the employees wonderful.

I just tried Everett & Jones BBQ in Oakland, California, and I had their sweet potato pecan pie — and baby, it was delicious. What really surprised me was that it wasn’t overly sweet at all. It had the perfect balance, with that sweet potato flavor and crunchy pecans coming together so nicely. If you love sweet potatoes, pecans, and a little crunchy yumminess… this pie is for you.
