Outstanding Southern style smoked meats and sides, with a few Pinoy flourishes. Family owned and operated. A hole-in-the-wall sort of place where everyone is made to feel welcome.

Tim is a great host at his restaurant. He’s funny as hell and loves his customers. Their fried corn is awesome you have to try it. Thank you Tim for your hospitality. I will be back with more jokes for you.

We found this joint through social media and it did not disappoint. It is the best BBQ we have tried, period! The owner is very friendly and their customer service is superb. Portions are very generous and most importantly the flavor and tenderness of the meat is to die for. Parking can be tricky as they share a parking lot with many other businesses. Plenty of handicap parking though

The owner and his son were so sweet to my friend and I when we arrived - true southern hospitality here in the Bay! We had a pulled pork sandwich with beans and smoked potato salad along with a side of fried pickles. The food was truly delicious, the BEST BBQ I’ve ever had!!! Service was friendly and fast, we were even treated to complementary sodas when the line was long. I cannot recommend this place enough, go try it for yourself!!

The owner and his son were absolutely a delight. True southern hospitality. I wish I didn’t eat my food so quickly so I could share a picture. I got the pulled pork sandwich with beans and the smoked potato salad, and that was truly the best potato salad I’ve had in my life (sorry mom) I also got the fried pickles which are my favorite side and it’s safe to say these are the best I’ve ever had: all crunch and no sogginess. Delicious and I will be back!

Stuck in traffic on the way home from SFO airport, we decide to stop by for a quick bite to eat. The restaurant definitely lived up to the ratings. I ordered the brisket sandwich with Mac & cheese and hot potatoe salad. I don't really enjoy bbq but this place is awesome. The brisket was tender yet not mushy. The flavor was a natural smoke and not the artificial taste I have had elsewhere. The Mac and cheese was the best I have ever had. Flavorful with enough cheese and not too much nor not too rich. The potatoe salad was hot but good. Again, with a slight smoked taste. The best part was the owner. He was so welcoming and had so many stories. We thoroughly enjoyed the visit.

Absolutely banging barbecue! I randomly came by here for a late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I always try to eat at local small businesses whenever I have a chance, and I found this place nearby on Google Maps. I ordered the brisket sandwich with sides of macaroni n cheese and beans. The brisket was so darn good. I haven't had this good of a brisket since I visited Texas a few years ago. The meat was so tender and cooked perfectly. The flavor was incredibly good. They could have used a slightly better bread for the bun, but it works just the way it is. The mild barbecue sauce was a good compliment The Macaroni n cheese was really good as well. The beans weren't my favorite. I've had better, but it was okay. Just a bit overcooked. If you are looking for good barbecue come here. Parking: There is plenty of free public parking in the lot.

Very welcoming and engaging owner. Ribs falling off the bone and meats smoked to perfection. House sauces are the bomb. Made my day! We will be back for more!
