My husband has ordered Dad's BBQ before but it was my first time ordering my own plate. Chicken bbq was good and thankfully it wasn't dry like other places I've been to. The ribs were tasty too. Pretty generous with the portions as well as the sides. The drop in stars was for the cornbread because it is CRIMINAL to charge an extra $4 for a mini cupcake size cornbread that's dry AF! Please I beg you to go google a new recipe for it. read more

I'll keep it short.. I am done supporting businesses that believe they can play in folks faces. I picked up my food, but did not look (I should have), because this is ridiculous. While the fish has a good batter, the fish was soft (after I asked for it to be fried crispy), and the goo inside of catfish was not thoroughly cooked. I had to put the fish in the air fryer. BUT.. The biggest issue is, cutting up one piece of catfish into small pieces and calling it a three piece! No, ma'am! No, sir! I'll cook at home from now on! read more

Excellent BBQ! Excellent Customer Service! From the BBQ, to the sides and to the dessert, It was All Good!

I went there recently and enjoyed what I got. I've been looking for a good BBQ spot since moving to the area. The food was good. My favorite was the ribs and potato salad. I will be going back. read more

I gave up on Dad's a year or so ago. But, thought I would try them again. I ordered a whole chicken, and asked them not to cut it, I would do it myself. I got home and the chicken, that chicken was so so dry, it had to be warmed up from yesterday or this morning. I went in around 5pm. DONE WITH DAD's NO MORE, last chance. No thank you!!! read more

After my previous experience & an invitation to try again from the owner when we spoke, I came & tried Dad's again. My thoughts.. Food was a hit! Everything was good. I walked in to order & waited about 5 mins. Inside is clean & tidy, staff is friendly. I had rib/hot link combo (med/hot bbq sauce), potato salad, baked beans & sweet potato pie. Mmmmmm, the sauce!! I love good bbq sauce. No bread issues, perfect for the sauce! Sweet potato pie hit the spot! I applaud the owner for addressing/correcting issues & for that I will continue to support a good business! Try Dad's for your BBQ fix! read more

They nand you pay extra for greens with stems in the mix. They cut up the meat so you do not know what they gave you. The pie crust is very hard but the inside is pretty tasty. Takes a very long time if your waiting for you meal. Meat over cooked and burnt read more

Everything went well!!! The young man on the smoker!!!! Ooooo weee. Kudos my friend!!

I'm new to the area and my boyfriend and I really wanted some bbq. We happened to stop in close to closing and they were so nice, not annoyed by us walking in, the BBQ is some of the best I've ever had. We did the 4 meat plate- hot links, ribs, tri tip, and chicken . SOOOO good, and good servings we shared the 1 plate and there were still leftovers! Food, service, and all around vibe in the place just is 10/10, highly recommend. read more

This review is about the Dad's BBQ food truck that sold food at the car show in Pittsburg. My order was taken by a small child maybe 8 years old. This was fine but she could have used more training. I asked for mild everything. I received spicy. I bought 2 meals and two desserts. I ended up throwing it all awy. I hate wasting money but it was terrible. The ribs were dry and salty and covered in sauce. The fish and fries were cooked in the same oil. This was not good. Sweet potato pie seemed old and was super sweet like tons of sugar. The peach cobbler was also unfresh. The baked beans and potato salad were very basic. I did not return the food or complain because I did not desire any replacements. I hate wasting money. I will never buy food from this restaurant again. I wanted to love this place but what I experienced was unacceptable. read more

Not only do I love the food, but the employees here are super engaging. Ajene' was such a sweetie!!

Good customer service and good food. This is a good place to eat, food comes out fast and good music. read more

Dad's BBQ - Links Macaroni and Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Antioch, California

We found their truck today in Martinez. I smelled smoked meats & walked their way. The food is absolutely amazing. We enjoyed everything.

Stopped by for lunch - had chicken entree. Amazing! The team is on top of their game! They not only make great food, but their service is impeccable! Highly recommend read more

If there was ever a time when I liked this place, that time is gone. Instead of fall-of-the-bone smoked or bbq'd chicken, theirs had not cooked long enough. The leg was tough to bite into. It took 3 bites to realize it wasn't completely cooked and by that time I had eaten too much. I checked and the thigh was undercooked too. I got sick due to their sloppy standards. The bbq sauce tasted pretty decent but was too sweet and very watery. The sweet potato pie was all of 2" diameter for a.total of 3 bites but cost $6. The ribs were meaty without too much fat but way too salty to finish. For $30 the 2-way combo and tiny pie was over-priced and parts were inedible. That doesn't even include a drink. I would not recommend. read more

Dad's BBQ - $6 for a tiny pie that burns if you reheat it because it's only 3/4" deep. Rip-off!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Antioch, California

Amazing food! Family, orientated, and very friendly. It was nothing but my pleasure to order off of their menu. I hate to say this, but they have the best mac & cheese I've ever eaten in my life and their tri-tip is terrific! read more

Dad's BBQ - Half 1/2 Entree mild links with mild sauce and green beans - Barbeque Near Me - Antioch, California

Food still excellent. Prices are still good compared to other bbq places. Good stop for good portions and good food

This was the second time having Dad's bbq. The ribs, chicken, sausage, and tri-tip was good. The rib tips not good and not worth $5 extra. My opinion sorry if you don't like it. I too would rather have a leg and thigh for my chicken instead of cut up. I don't think that would be disrespectful. Potato salad was cold and the beans were hot. Perfect! Mac and cheese were also great. I get the extra cost for that since you make it from scratch. I wish you had brisket and burnt ends. The portions were good. We ordered 2 - 3 ways and got 5 meals out of it. Oh and the sauce is awesome as well. Thanks for a good meal. We will be back next time we are craving bbq. read more

This used to be my favorite barbecue of all time. The last 3 times I've come in there The ribs are burnt and dry like they were from the day before. I drive a long way to get there, too. I guess all I can say is if you are gonna go there and you're coming from a great distance inspect your food before you leave. read more

I have been to this place on numerous occasions. Ribs, greens, and macaroni and cheese are our go to. The sweet potato pie is nostalgic. (Reminds us of our moms) Thanks for your service!! read more

I am down here visiting from Southern California last night. My husband and I wanted some good barbecue so we saw dad's barbecue place. We walked in. It smelled delicious. We thought we were in for a wonderful treat, and when we walked in, no one greeted us at first, we stood there for about a minute before the cashier came up to us and asked us what we wanted. I told her that it was our first time there what were her top recommendations? She said right there on the wall is where the menu is at so I said OK so then I continue to order. I got some ribs and some tri-tip that's what I ordered and I ordered potato salad and baked beans and then I ordered on the side of a slice of the cornbread and it said hot cornbread. My husband got the same thing tri-tip and some ribs as well. He got the baked beans And mac & cheese and then I told him get the cornbread. I bet you it's delicious. I was just figuring it was delicious cause it was three dollars extra so I figured it would be well just to tell you it was not. They got my order wrong. It was overpriced. The meat was tough. I had two ribs. The rest were slices shivers I should say of whatever it was the barbecue sauce, however, was very good but everything else is a big thumbs down so very disappointed read more

The Food was great ,portions were nice, and staff was so happy ..it in return mad me happy.I'm not really a fan of church music but, beautiful church music blasts through the air releasing the feeling of nostalgia ,reminiscent of innocent childhood sundays with family.Me and my wife ate there today on 3.7.25 .Staff was so polite passing us as we ate,the waiter at the counter checked on us periodically The feeling of love and hospitality flowed across the counter.It was my 2nd time there and I wanted to show my wife, they did not disappoint!Most bbq places are stingy and most family owned restaurants don't have good customer service but I'm so proud to be a patron of this local establishment that I will definitely be back lol WITH MORE FAMILY MEMBERS WITH ME!!!!!!!! read more

We've been coming here (from Tracy) for the past ~5 years and they never let us down. We usually get a full rack of ribs with some greens and it's enough food to feed an army. Their spicy BBQ sauce is so tasty too, it goes perfectly with the meat! read more

My wife and I stopped in for the first time and were instantly grerted with a hello and a smile from the awesome staff. We ordered the chicken, tri-tip, bamed beans,and the mac. All of it was great. We will be returning! Recommend to anyone who likes good bbq. read more

I try barbecue in every city I go. This is in my top 2! Great job! You can tell the difference and that's why they've been in business 25 years. read more

The service is always good , sometimes a little slow being that they only have 1 cashier. The atmosphere is great always clean no issues there. Now let's get started on the food, every time I call in to place an order they are always forgetting something NEVER FAILS. when I'm visiting I crave good comfort food & Dad's is one of the many spots I go to. The food is really good Great bbq! I live far away so it's never easy for me to just go back so they can correct the issue read more

I bought my 1 year old some Mac n cheese and it was spoiled had a sour taste it's normally good but One thing I can say is if u have an issue they are very good with assisting you. the service is great the place is always clean. read more

This place was amazing! My husband and I will definitely be back. The meat was great! The sauce is special (the med was the perfect balance between sweet and heat). The potato salad and Mac and cheese are outstanding and the banana pudding was a delicious was to end our meal. My daughter LOVED the cornbread. It's so nice to have some good bbq so close to home!! read more

Probably the best BBQ in Walnut Creek area. Prices are high but the portions are large enough to last for two meals. It's Mississippi style so the sauce is a bit sweeter than Memphis BBQ but well-balanced. The greens and the mac are delicious. The ribs and tri-tip are top-notch. Loved the hot links (not that hot) but the mild links are a disappointment. The staff is wonderful! The place is immaculate. We've been twice in a week. Ate in once and to-go once. So happy to have Dad's near our home. read more

Hadn't been there for almost a year due to helping friend who's health was failing. Called in an order 2 orders of ribs in a combo plus 2 sides. Picked up the bag w my order inside and it felt so light that I questioned if they got the order right. Opened the order and the ribs were so tiny you could probably pick your teeth w the bones. Nowhere near the quality I was used to from Dads. And, then I had to stand an argue about the portions everyone in the restaurant agreed w me including a person just providing a service there. One customer mumbled I know my order better have more than that. No attempt to add to the portions and seems no one there had the authority to do so. There seems to be portion control there. The owner had to be contacted and ok a refund. Once my favorite go to spot for bbq don't think I'll be going back until I hear things have changed. Staff was as polite as they could be but seems like their hands are tied when it comes to responding or decision making. I couldn't pay $42 inc $5 tip which I let them keep without feeling like a fool. I met Dad the owner bf saw him there a few times and he seems like a very nice man. Wish him the best. read more
