Surprisingly good! We had the tri tip and brisket sandwiches and were pleasantly surprised at how good they both were. The meat was tender and delicious. Well, I guess it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise, considering how close to the source they...Read More

I was a weekly Bay Area - LA commuter for years & it’s the first time I made a stop here. One of my biggest regret for never stopped here all these years. Simply one of the best BBQ I ever have

What a nice pit stop! Brisket is superb. Ribs are good and extra tasty with more bbq sauce. Jalepano cornbread is pleasantly moist and tasty! Mash potatoes are buttery and tasty! We will definitely come back!!
