Fikscue Craft BBQ

Holy crackadoo! I don't have to go to Texas for my BBQ grub fix! This meat is good and it's in Alameda!! I wish it was closer to where I live or open a store near us in the future but still, this is close enough! I have to say it's like Black's in Texas!! I had this place on my radar since it opened about 6 months ago as I have been trying to find a good BBQ place in the Bay Area. Didn't expect the line to still be long even we came late @2p but now I understand why people wait. We waited about an hour still. The line goes out the metal gate. There is maybe bar seat for four inside but mostly all outdoor tables to eat after ordering. No private parking. All street parking. By the time we ordered, they only had brisket and sausage left. They were out of Dino rib and chicken since early morning they said. No matter, we ordered a pound and a half of brisket and two jalapenos cheddar sausage. I was actually perfect for us. The sausage and brisket were moist and juicy, and very flavorful. No sauces needed and that's...how you know it's good!! They come with pickled onions, spicy bbq sauce and the other sauce is like a sweet honey sauce. We ordered their Rujak slaw and that was so good and refreshing! My favorite and a must try. I want to learn to make that!! We didn't get to finish the brisket and took it home. They must work with the two stores in between each other as we got to sit and eat our food at the Alameda Brewery as long as we ordered their drinks. Not a bad set up. We will definitely come back here but early to try their Dino ribs, beef ribs, chicken and Nasi Goreng. I am sure it's good if they were of it so early. It's a little pricier but than this is the Bay Area. What do you expect! They actually closed one hour earlier after we ordered as they ran out of food already! I understand why the line is slow. They need more staff. They only really had one cashier, one who slices up the meats, one who serves it and one in the back that makes drinks, etc. They need help! So Expect that line coming here! BUT I do recommend this place for good BBQ with some Indonesian sides that mix well together!

Cool and chic place for some southern bbq. Be alerted with the long line- we were in line for 90 minutes before being served. We tried all the meats except for chicken. I would say their meat is just quiet on spot marinated and still preserve the juicy texture meanwhile. I also tried their rice plates and fell in love with their kale side. The new on shelf soda is a mixture of condensed milk, added fruit flavor and sprite. Hope they would consider opening longer hours so the waiting would be shorter.

line around the corner... I showed up half an hour before they were open in the rain... and line was 40 yards long

bark on the brisket was great, although i feel like the brisket was over-seasoned, and drowned out the smoke flavor (the meat was allegedly smoked over almond wood, but i wasn’t really able to taste it). rice on the balaldo plate was severely undercooked, and the skin on the smoked chicken was rubbery. sambal was good. definitely better as an Indonesian place than as a Texas BBQ place.

Best Indonesian food in the bay.

Melt in your mouth tasty meat. Authentic soto padang. Just missing the authentic chili sauce for the soto.

3 weeks on the rows they are always ran out of stock/food to sell ,2 HOURS prior to closing time,advertised online. The Indonesian food also not available per online advertised hours. The excuses was, "we open until it sold out", it sounds like a "pop-up tent or pop-up food truck" slogans not an online advertised restaurant. Very disappointment establishment. Hopefully customers now ,will have a knowledge of the actual timing of operating on this establishment, by this comment, and not fooled by the WRONG ADVERTISEMENT on-line.

Worth waiting for!

Had to update this to the correct location. Couldn't try their Indonesian food since it was unavailable today, but the BBQ is amazing! Came here at 12:05 on a Sunday and waited an hour and ten minutes. We got the smoked brisket, dino beef ribs, and jalapeño-cheese sausages for take out since there were only three long benches that were all occupied while we were waiting in line. There were also additional seats around as well, but it would have been harder for a larger party to eat together. The dino beef rib was the highlight! One rib can weigh between 1.4~2.2 lbs. The smoked brisket and sausages tasted superb as well.
