I've been to a lot of BBQ restaurants and food trucks in the Bay and the brisket at BBQ & Sizzle ranks the top for me (will try their other stuff next time). The brisket is super tender and melts with delicious flavor. The place is a food truck in a food truck court that is hard to find if you're not looking for it. I recommend the owner(s) make the place more visible for all the traffic on San Tomas. The service is super friendly and the guy running the truck is extremely passionate about his food. The place does have an indoor area to eat at with arcade games and acts as a third space which is very lively. read more

Constantly on the search for good barbecue in California, so please send me your hidden gem spots if you have them! Burnt ends are my favorite bbq item, but I like them in cubes rather than in this more shredded in sauce format featured on top of the mac & cheese here. Still tasty, but I think there could have been a larger portion. The bowl is wide, but has only about an inch and a half of mac & cheese with a few tablespoons of burnt ends on top. But halal barbecue is very rare to find and so I'll have to come back and try some of their other items. Plenty of parking in that lot and order at the kiosk in front. read more

Had the Pittmasters sandwich: It was yummy and very appetizing appearance! The brisket is very soft and tender, and a nice flavor, but not very notable (smoked?). Tastes better with the bbq sauce... but you dont need too much. Cole slaw was nicely light, but I think there could have been just a little bit more there to balance out the sammie. The bun was toasted well and perfectly held up with the contents. I'd like to try the mac. It is very easy to order from their kiosk and the food came out in 5 minutes. They are open a little later than other places in the area, and I was really curious. My sandwich was not cut in half, so ask for it when ordering if you care. I was on the way home and it was dark, so I took it home instead of eating in the lot. I felt like it was a little pricy (esp. with the tip and tax on it), though overall I was happy with it. Fyi I also dont regularly buy this kind of meal... Plus I ordered without really looking at the branding and pictures, but I did notice how AI it all seemed while I was waiting. That's a huge turnoff. Luckily, the item I ordered did look delicious in person. read more

We found this place while visiting Fremont, and OMG!!! The owner was putting together a new bowl, and said we can order it, OMGeeee. Soo good, brisket is so yummy and soft, the Mac is fire and brisket sandwich amazing! I'm telling everyone bc finding a good bbq place is difficult. Ok bye! read more

BBQ & Sizzle - Burnt ends on Mac & Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Clara, California

I don't expect much ordering BBQ from a truck in a ghetto parking lot. But damn... the food was bomb! The Dino rib and brisket were succulent. Cole slaw balanced out the richness of the meats. Mac n cheese was some of the best I've had. I'm so glad this spot is close to home. I don't have to go all the way to Kansas or TX for delicious BBQ! If you're looking for amazing BBQ, come here now!! Follow them on IG and FB. read more

Easy ordering on tablet, wait time was not too long to receive food. They were friendly and gave us complimentary sodas, which i think were a local brand. Dino rib (3.5/5): very juicy and tender. it was really fatty but and some of it wasnt rendered all the way, but the texture of the meat throughout was really good. I wished it had more of a bbq or smoked flavor. Brisket (3/5): good smoke coloring and flavoring but i thought the brisket was a little dry. By itself, i think it was lacking significant flavor but paired with the bbq sauce it was delicious. Burnt end mac (4/5): good, solid flavor, but nothing special. The burnt ends and mac had a good balance of flavor. It was the BBQ that made it though. If you like liquidy creamy mac n cheese then i think this would be good for you. read more

The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Every bite made me feel happy and satisfied. I've been searching for good BBQ for a long time, and all I usually find are fancy restaurants claiming to serve "real BBQ." This food truck vendor, however, is truly dedicated to his craft and creates dishes that not only look amazing in photos and on the menu but also live up to the expectations when you open your order. I can confidently say that I have finally found my BBQ spot. I'm looking forward to seeing new menu items and beverages and can't wait to try more of what they have to offer. The owner is generous, kind, and clearly passionate about his cooking. You can tell that every dish is made with care and homemade recipes. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful BBQ. read more

We got the Dino ribs, Mac and cheese, double smash burger, fries and coleslaw. Everything was hella good and full of flavor. The Dino ribs had a nice smoky taste and fell right off the bone. Tender af and juicy and ton of flavor. The fries were fried in some starch and were hella crispy but still soft. The coleslaw had a light dressing but it was fresh and very tasty. The Mac and cheese had such a different flavor, that also was really good. Creamy and cheesy, had this pimento smoky taste. The double smash wagyu burger was great as well and fire as well. Overall im coming back, it's halal and hella good food! read more

Tried out the Dino ribs. These are flat (flanken) ribs, taken further down the length of the rib than prime rib. There were 3 ribs, and I weighed just the meat portion - 15 oz, almost a pound! Enough for 2 or 3 meals, so the price was reasonable. Pretty tasty, some resistance in the meat, which I like. But not as tasty as prime rib bones. read more

Extremely good!! Coworkers and I wanted some really good BBQ. We never been here, we tried it out and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely some of the best BBQ I had in a while and portions sizes are on point. 100% recommend anyone to try this place out!! read more

The man cooking was incredibly kind, welcoming, and supportive. He politely invited us inside to relax while we waited for our food, and we truly appreciated his hospitality. Unfortunately, our experience changed completely after that. someone in the place unnecessarily rude from the moment we walked in. He scolded us for touching the speaker and claimed to not touch due to him owning everything. At that point, I just looked at him with the most confused, doe-eyed expression, genuinely wondering what we had done wrong. We were simply following the chef's instructions and quietly waiting for our food. My friends and I all work in healthcare/mental health, and we had just wanted a place to unwind for a few minutes. We weren't being disruptive or disrespectful. Instead, we were made to feel like we were doing something wrong simply by being there. The entire interaction was surprising, uncomfortable, and honestly felt like we were being singled out. What made it even more disappointing was that another person standing nearby watched the interaction, smiled, and did nothing to help de-escalate the situation. The chef deserves recognition for his kindness and excellent hospitality, but the son's behavior overshadowed what could have been a great experience. I hope this feedback is taken seriously, because customers should be treated with the same respect and courtesy that the chef showed us. read more

I don't say this lightly, but the Pit Masters Roll at Barbecue & Sizzle is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The meat is incredibly tender, full of flavor, and perfectly smoked without being overpowering. The bread holds everything together without getting soggy, which makes a big difference. You can tell they really care about how the sandwich comes together. It's balanced, satisfying, and just straight up hits. I'll definitely be coming back for it. read more

Great BBQ spot in Fremont! I ordered the one pound of Brisket with Cole slaw and burnt end Mac and cheese Brisket was tender and flavorful, the included BBQ sauce was just right I did not get to try the Mac and Cheese; family beat me to it! Cole slaw was good but not awesome; could use some more white sauce or something, it was however devoured quickly Brisket was the star here ; ordering was easy I'll be back read more

I was honestly blown away by the beef ribs. They were incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with amazing smoky flavor. You can really tell that the owner puts his heart into making high-quality BBQ. He was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The prices are more than fair, especially considering the huge portions. I ordered two ribs because the photos made them look much smaller than they actually are. When I got home and opened my order, I was shocked! One rib was enough to feed both me and my husband, and we couldn't even finish the second one. We'll definitely be enjoying the leftovers tomorrow. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious BBQ. It's an amazing family-owned business with outstanding food, generous portions, and great hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Phenomenal food. I've had the opportunity to try halal brisket and American BBQ from multiple places and vendors but honest to god, the brisket at BBQ & Sizzle has been the best I've had so far. The meat is extremely tender and the serving size is fair. The Pitmaster's Roll is loaded with brisket, the tex-mex bowl (with brisket) has a great balance of flavors, and the chili cheese fries are cheesy and filling. Would highly recommend! read more

Fire !!!! last couple months I've seen struck and was curious last night and I ordered Mac and cheese with burnt ends and it was delicious. Was the fact that they're late at night . read more

Tried ordering online twice on door dash. Checked their official website for hours they are open and saw they were open the next day at 11am. So, i ordered on Tuesday and scheduled it to come at 12pm today. Guess what. they canceled my order because somehow the next day they are temporarily closed. this exact thing happened twice. i do not understand. when are they open? I tried ordering again and this time I ordered on their website. They were open and I checked the location. Somehow after ordering on the day i checked the opening time, they are closed or/and not there. Their website says they are open at Fremont boulevard. 4 drivers cancelled the order because they couldn't find the food truck. I tried calling them but there was no response. I can't cancel the order. a new driver has been assigned. This sucks. read more

Very good brother who makes great food. I got the beef burn end mac and cheese which was very delicious. My family got smash burgers and the hot burger (forgot the exact name) which they very much enjoyed. The truck is sometimes located in Fremont and sometimes Santa Clara near MCA. I'd recommend calling before going to make sure you have the exact location. Otherwise, really appreciate the brother's effort with the halal food. Definitely a great halal place to eat. Service was nice and quick in a good location in Santa Clara read more

Super excited to have a new BBQ food truck nearby. It was good, but I think there are few things that could have made this better. I will say, this place is expensive, but good quality, smoked meat should be. 2/5 Classic Ruben - the bread didn't hold up to the amount of meat and sadly, 80% of the meat was so so dry. There was not nearly enough kraut or dressing to make it moist, so it was difficult to get through. The bites that weren't dry were delicious. Def room for improvement here. 4/5 Pitmaster Roll - meat was super flavorful, good slaw inside and the bread was the perfect vehicle for all this yumminess. The only downside was the bun on the bottom was wet, otherwise it was a smash. 5/5 Burnt End Bomb Mac - so creamy, so delicious and the burnt ends with the BBQ sauce was exactly that, bomb. I would eat this every day and it would be worth looking like the Michelin man. I would give this place another whirl and order their burger and maybe Dino ribs. Def a must try in Fremont! read more

I would not come back ! I waited over 2 hours just to get French fries and then get preached by the guy who made the food and talked over the everyone's food and you can see the saliva coming out of his mouth NO THANKS ! read more

went to their food truck at suhoor fest in newark. Worst service i've ever had in my life. waited forever to place our order because their QR code wasn't working. we waited 2 HOURS for our food and it STILL wasn't ready. the guy was fulfilling orders out of order and they were STILL taking new orders when they couldn't even complete the ones they had. this isn't their first rodeo and their system was completely unacceptable. i don't care how good ur food is, waiting 2 hours for a burger is NOT okay! After i got mad about the order not being ready and him giving the orders out of turn they cancelled our order. wasted over 3 hours there and left with NOTHING. i'm beyond pissed because i had my kids with me too. i hope all those poor people waiting in line for hours like us, leave a bad review too because this food truck doesn't deserve a dime of anyones money! read more

Best bbq brisket you could taste!!!! Have to try the brother was very kind. And service was very well done.

had an incredible experience at this halal brisket spot. The brisket was tender, full of flavor, and clearly cooked with care and patience. Every bite was juicy and well-seasoned, without being overpowering. It's rare to find barbecue at this level that's also halal, and they really delivered on both quality and authenticity. The portions were generous, the service was welcoming, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this place to others. read more

BBQ & Sizzle - 10/10 - Barbeque Near Me - Santa Clara, California

an unassuming food truck from the outside, this place was under the radar considering its recent opening but the food was so great I had to leave a review the chef Khalaf really understands the craftsmanship that goes into a high quality burger, there's a level of attentiveness to every part of the burger, each burger being a very committed project from the ingredients sourced to the wrapping of the burger his burgers have a distinct Philadelphia flavor that you can't find anywhere in the Bay the burger itself had the rendered fat of the Wagyu beef emanating with every bite which was a true joy the burger bread had a pleasant suppleness within its firmness I was a bit skeptical given the prices but the taste from the first bite alone justified every dollar (my mom) paid for my burger. can't go wrong with this mashup of Texas Roadhouse BBQ with a mix of East Coast flavor only complaint I have is that I didn't order enough 5/5 read more

I am extremely disappointed In how the owners acted and went about orders. I waited 2.5 hours for food that I never received. Instead of going in order which orders were received, they were just handing out to people at the window. I couldn't even make my way to the window because of how chaotic is was. There was no structure to this food truck at all. Not only did I wait 2.5 hrs for food that I didn't receive, I also got yelled at by the guy to make sure they canceled my order. This is no way to treat a customer. They should have been handing out tickets and calling them in chronological order. Not only that he had his friend calling him for food and he picked up the phone and made sure to give him food even though there was a tremendous line of people who also waited over 2 hours. There are no words to express how upset I am. 1000/10 would recommend to give your money to another business. read more
