Carmen & Family Bar-B-Q

Wonderful staff and great food id recommend this place everyday of the week

Carmen's has some of the best BBQ in the Bay Area. They have their own take on BBQ, so it might not be to everyone's liking. The brisket is very tasty, but you get chopped up pieces rather than the long strips of beef more typically found. They're hot sauce is hotter than most, and is my favorite. The greens are fantastic. The service is always kind and helpful.

Carmen BBQ in Hayward was a good place to order from on Door Dash but now I am being hit with fees of $6.49 plus other charges just to have food delivered from them. I will order from Emil Villa which does not have the expanded charges.

Great BBQ! Service is awesome. Ladies are attentive and personable. Flavorful. Would recommend this gem any day. All my employees loved it!

This place has a cool old school feeling to it. The barbecue that they serve is okay. Ordered the two meat plate. Apparently the jerk chicken cannot be part of the combo so you have to pick from the other options. I went with brisket and ribs. The brisket was on the lean side and it was good. Has a nice bite to them. The ribs is okay. There is a bit of bite to it which doesn't bother me. Their spicy bbq sauce is great! Would recommend the spicy bbq sauce that they pour over the bbq.

Worth every penny, collard greens are the bomb

Far as the meat, I only got the chicken, and to my surprise, the chicken was very dry and flavorless…. But it doesn’t stop there. The yams were amazing and the Jamaican soda was Mui Caliente.
