pretty good Q! Burnt ends are on point! And you cant find burnt ends at most places. I recommend for the overall taste of the meat and greens. Also the brisket is sliced like deli meat, but it has a very good taste as well. You will be pleasantly surprised as a change of pace from the most popular Q place in the area. Drawbacks – Limited sides and the Q sauce needs help!!

So bomb. Can’t believe I’ve never been here. Great staff and incredible bbq. The hot links are a treat.

I popped in on a Sunday evening to an empty restaurant which meant I could have my pick of the picnic table seating.

Now closed, the short life span of this place is a cautionary tale for anyone wanting to open a food business. Apparently, the initial first had all rave reviews, but as time went on, (Or so I am told) reviews plummeted, and business suffered, culminating with the loss of their lease on that prime Emerson and Shattuck location where “The Omnivore” once operated.

The brisket is the best it’s really tender and flavorful. The frito pie is delicious but huge. Make sure to share it as a side with 2-3 people. Skip the hot link because it’s not very spicy or juicy. The space is small so don’t go in a big group.

I got the 1/2 slab dinner with collards and potato salad plus a drumstick and medium BBQ sauce. All were excellent: good quality meat and other ingredients(produce is from Berkeley Bowl) and the flavors were hauntingly good. The medium sauce is hot enoughI used an Amazon local voucher which saved some money(the above would have cost $20), but even at regular price, this is a good value for the best ribs and sides I’ve had in the Bay area.

If I could it would be a be a negative star! I ordered the I love meat catering platter for my husbands going away party. The preorder went fine I spoke with an employee, was sent an invoice and a link to pay! So we paid in full! We received a confirmation of our order my husband called again to confirm and we were reassured that our order was on the books. Well when we went to go pick up the order we were told that the owner of this business never put our order in but if we waited 30 minutes they would be able to compete this order. We were shocked but because the workers were so apologetic and we didn’t know where else to get food for 75 people I decided to wait. They also told us the delivery person was not available that day so we would have to wait. Shortly after we were told that they didn’t have the majority of what we ordered. We were told that we would be charged less. We ended up having to wait a whole hour so our guests were greeted with no food and no host. We were reassured that they would stop payment on the order that was already processed and re process the new amount. Well fast forward to 3 days later when the owner returns from his vacation he tells us he can’t give us a discount. 10% would be the best he can offer. When I called to speak with him he told me he gave me extra rolls ( Hawaiian rolls) and extra chicken meat even though they shorted us the two full slabs of ribs and a full tray of macaroni and cheese and that the 10% off should have made up for what happened. Then he hung up on me! The worst customer service ever. Not to mention the sausages were dry and burnt, coleslaw taste of pure vinegar and the beans were watery with no flavor.

Pretty good. The spicy sauce was not that spicy… but that might be me. I got a ribs which were delicious. A few sides. The so-so side were potatoes because they were too oily.

Hearty in quantity but bland in flavor. The garlic potatoes were good but they could have been fresher. Get your food to go and be sure that the food is covered prior to purchase. Some things weren’t. Invest in your own bbq sauce, too.
