Oakland, CA 94620

Lainie L. writes: BBQ - it belongs in the holy trinity of subjective food stuffs. . .burritos, pizza and BBQ. One man's perfect carnitas burrito is another man's "bitch, are you crazy? That shit was nasty!" burrito. Same for pizza - how many times have you seen a…

Because they're just getting their week started and…

Buckhorn Grill

5614 Bay St
Emeryville, CA 94608

Rocco B. writes: I have a love / hate relationship with Buckhorn grill.

Buckhorn is awesome, but if I'm eating Buckhorn, it's usually because I'm on my 13th consecutive 14 hour day at work, and the executives bump me up to a gourmet $10 dinner instead of Mcdonalds or…

Yabbies Coastal Kitchen

2237 Polk Street
San Francisco, CA 94109

Bo's Barbecue & Catering Restaurant

Lava Pit Hawaiian Grill

2 Theatre Sq
Ste 142
Orinda, CA 94563

Marc P. writes: Any place that can gracefully accommodate nine rambunctious Filipinos deserves five stars.

Pelton Smoke Barbecue

185 Pelton Center Way
San Leandro, CA 94577

Andrew L. writes: Damn good and spicy. I didn't think I'd ever find a place in the East Bay that I like as much as Big Nate's, but this is it.

Sweet and spicy with a kick that builds up as you eat. By the time you're finished, your mouth is on FIRE.

Extraordinary.

Chef Edwards Bar-B-Que

1915 San Pablo Ave
Oakland, CA 94612

Len V. writes: Melt in your mouth great BBQ. Want a treat? Go at dinner time. Downtown rolls up the sidewalks after 6 so you'll have the place virtually to yourself and Chef Edwards will likely serve you himself... and make fun of you for choosing the mild…

Neighborhood: Outer Sunset

1330 Noriega St
San Francisco, CA 94122

The Famous Rib Shack

223 El Camino Real
San Bruno, CA 94066

David P. writes: Look no further on the Peninsula for good barbeque. I mean it literally: get back in your damn car and drive to the East Bay. Barbecue pickin's on the Peninsula are limited as it is. The Shack only detracts from anything nice I have to say about…

2909 Sonoma Blvd
Vallejo, CA 94590

Everett & Jones Barbeque
Neighborhood: Jack London Square

126 Broadway
Oakland, CA 94607

Tina R. writes: My Mami used to jokingly say when I was a little girl that I was a meatatarian. This amor of the flesh has been with me FOREVER. I even did a two year stint as a hardcore Atkins protein/fat/green veggie fiend. That ended when I realized that I missed…

Everett & Jones Barbeque

1955 San Pablo Avenue
Berkeley, CA 94702
