Fairly new so no long lines. Which was good cuz I was hungry hungry when I came. Felt ravenous and got the 2 meat and 2 side combo but they have good portions here. Even had some leftovers to take home. Food wise, it's really good BBQ. Very comforting and hearty. The Mac and cheese and baked beans definitely hit the spot. I did pay around $35 for my plate which is a bit pricey to me. But I left feeling satisfied so I'm happy with it. read more

Dad's BBQ Next Generation - 2 Meat 2 Side Combo -Ribs -Tri Tip -Mac&Chz -Baked Beans - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

Their Happy Hour special drew us in!! 1 meat, 1 side for $15... A solid offer! I went with the tri-tip/green beans w/hot sauce and my Dad, the ribs/potato salad w/ medium sauce. The food was excellent with a decent portion of meat (8-10oz) and sides (4oz.). The hot sauce was delicious, could have been hotter in my opinion but I get it, for most the medium sauce is fine. The decor was pretty sparse, modern, and dark. Lots of tables for 2 and only five 4 seaters. The service was very friendly and Pops and I had a great lunch! The special is where it's at, $15 is great bang for your buck because if it's the same portion size at $25 during off hours then thats a little much. read more

Every since I started working in Rosmore I found the best BBQ right here. I tried the beef, ribs, and the links and everything was awesome and very great. My experience was an A+++. Thank you so much for the great service, food, and Kool-Aid. :) read more

Hot links smooth and hot on the back end. Ribbon tips are tender and flavored. BBQ sauce is medium and has a kick. Mac and cheese is on point. Not oversalted.overrated. Beans are sugary but balanced with a little heat. Sweet Tea is on point not overly sweet.. Cornbread nice and hot. With hot honey it would be on fire. My personal choice. Overall, I get the restaurant 5 out of 5. Is a new spot? They try new things and as they grow, they will adjust to meet the menu likes of their community. Come on out and support a minority owned business. Yes, these wonderful descendants of mississippians have done a phenomenal job of barbecue. Black BBQ HAS ARRIVED IN THE BAY AREA!!!! read more

Went yesterday afternoon. There were only a few people inside. Ordered online and was surprised to see very limited menu. I ordered the $30 chicken meal that came with 2 sides and a refreshing berry drink. For the 2 sides, I chose beans and Mac & cheese. Total charge came up to $40 including tax and tip but the meal was good for 2 people so $20 per person is reasonable. The food - Chicken BBQ was delicious! So flavorful and a bit sweet, which I love! Beans were the best part! I wish I got two sides of beans because it's so yummy! Sweet alright, but that's how I like it! Mac & cheese was forgettable. Place is a bit dark but clean. I regularly go to Safeway and food prices are unbelievable at this time, so I'm not bothered by their meal prices. It's not cheap to run a restaurant, people. Labor, ingredients, rent, utilities, and taxes are through the roof! It's always tough to run a restaurant. Can't wait to be back! Yum!! read more

It was good not the best barbecue I had but it was good little pricy but what isn't now a days . The place new it's super clean super friendly staff I would go back the corn bread was ok I do like the sweet beans and the sweet tea maybe the equipment smoker is new need a more if a Smokey flavor on the ribs and links . They call it fried chicken actually it's fried chicken wings it's good try it out and see for yourself read more

Excellent! All around! Nice atmosphere, very clean, great service and the food was top notch for Bbq. We left with our bellies full and no food on the plates! Price was reasonable as well for all the food we got. It's a newer family business. Support this small business, it's a must try. We will be doing back read more

Best ribs I've had in a long time! Perfect texture where it just melts in your mouth. Also we got tons of ribs and tips for a good price. Fed myself and 3 kids until we were about to explode. Highly recommend this place! read more

Amazing and best BBQ I've had in the Bay Area! Nice family story - let's support them!!!! read more

It's a no for me dawg. Hard no. Save your money. Chicken was giving boiled vibes....tried the ribs and the links too and just overall did not like this place. Sauce was weak too. read more

Nah... you gotta smoke those ribs and links right. And for the price? Not worth it for me. I went in and ordered the links, brisket, and ribs, plus potato salad and collard greens. Sides? No complaints--solid. But the ribs and links? That's where they lost me. The links tasted almost like a beef hotdog--not what I was expecting. And the ribs? Boneless. Threw me off. Couldn't really tell if they were smoked or what, but the texture and fatty parts didn't hit right. Dropped $48 (with tip), including a glass of punch. And for that? Still gotta say... nah. Bottom line--Check it out for yourself, you might vibe with it. But for me? Overpriced and just okay. read more

I am excited for a new bbq spot. The restaurant is very clean and staff was friendly. The first thing I noticed was the steep prices. Since I was there I figured I would try them out because I was not sure the portion size. I ordered the 2- 2 meat combo plates. I had ribs and tri-tip. I was surprised that it was 2 ribs and cut pieces of tri-tip. The 3-sides I had mac and cheese, baked beans, potato salad. The mac and cheese and baked beans were really good. Potato salad I did not like but my husband did. Overall the prices are too high for what is received. I do not think I will return, even though I feel it is one of the best BBQ places in the area. $33 for a two meat combo plate is just too expensive. Please consider lowering your prices. read more

Decent. Tasty. Wish you had brisket as an offering. Good lunch overall. Will come again.

The staff and service was adequate. But we were served a plated of cold chopped meat with not a bad sauce and two slices of cheap brown bread. There were no other customers and I can understand why. My wife and I are in agreement this is worst dining-out experience we've had in years. read more

Went for dinner on a Sunday. We were greeted right when we walked in. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They took our order and the food came out fast. We ordered the 4-way with 2 sides (greens and Mac & cheese). All the meats we selected were very tasty and the consistency on the BBQ sauce was better than most other places we've tried. The place was very clean and the staff allowed the kids to choose what they wanted to watch on the TV they had on. I would definitely come back and recommend it to family and friends. read more

The food taste was very nice with no issues. I had ribs, chicken,baked beans,potatoe salad and collared greens and two drinks. The service was not too good. I had to ask for my drink three times. The main issue is the price too very high and some people looked at the menu and walked out after they saw the price. The portions are not that big. basically two people will be about almost $80 with the tip. WOW for lunch. read more

Their BBQ is amazing - one of the best in the region. I chatted with the owner and asked about her business. I could tell that they are all in on this place - probably a dream of theirs with a lot at risk. Go check it out- if you love the meats like I do, I think you'll be impressed! read more

A hidden treasure! We are from San Francisco visiting our mother in Rossmoor and just happened to stop by this amazing restaurant! Dad's BBQ is extremely flavorful, the rib meat falls off the bone in the most delicate way, the mac and cheese is very cheesy without being overwhelming and the collard greens are to die for! Our mother (who is a very picky eater) finished her whole plate! read more

This food is soooo good. Chicken fell off the bone. The chicken!! Ribs and links were good, Mac n cheese bomb and greens were perfect. Sweet tea was also good. This place is underrated and we can't believe it wasn't packed. read more

Dad's BBQ Next Generation - Yum! I didn't take a pic before I started to eat :) - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut Creek, California

I'm not a huge fan of barbecue to begin with, but my husband is so we agreed we'd come here so he could do the barbecue and I could eat nearby. Ordered him the lunch rib combo only to discover that the lunch combos don't come with french fries and the sides are not anything that he would like and I was right about that. He absolutely hated the greens. The ribs were neither crispy nor well done. As a matter of fact they were pink and pink. Pork is never a good thing. Had them put the sauce on the side so I could try a bite of the ribs. It was just plain nasty. Even my husband wasn't happy with it so we will not be coming back. To be fair, the lady who took the order and served the order was tremendously helpful and friendly so their staff seems to be good. But I just think the food is dreadful read more

Worst BBQ we ever had before. We ordered to go on their grand opening week. Food were too dry, worst than jerky more charcoal like ribs and pork are too sweet with loads of sauce. The amount of food is not equal to the price also. Nobody like their Mac n cheese either. The corn breads are not good either. They did not provide any services. It was a bit slow maybe because they are too new. The location is easy to found & free parking and the store itself just maintains the previous business interior. Which is fine. There are way better BBQ places in town. Not sure who could someone else like it. Maybe they like load of sugar and sauces on their food. But, the over burned food like that I cannot eat it. Four of us still hungry after spending over a hundred dollars. Will not go again. The 1 star is for the parking and bright clean looking place. read more

Sadly, this restaurant has gone out of business! They had great food, and were only at this location for a very short time!

Amazing ribs! Fall off the bone tender! Atmosphere very nice & clean. Customer service great very friendly. I will be returning!

Ordered combo meal with ribs and brisket and sides of baked beans and mac and cheese. Both brisket and ribs were dry, salty and overcooked and were barely edible. Unlike the website picture, the brisket was not sliced but was shredded, cubed and lathered in sauce. In some cases, the ribs were not whole ribs but pieces of ribs. Rather than being creamy, the mac and cheese was dry. Pickup was on a Friday night at 6 pm when the restaurant should be busy. There were no other takeout orders and only one couple in the restaurant. Unless the restaurant substantially improves it will not be around much longer. This was my first and last trip to this restaurant. read more

I took my three kids here and we enjoyed a nice four piece bbq meal. The kids devoured every last ribb and tri tip, the portion size for a family meal was great! Awesome local business owner, we plan on going again soon! read more

I also, as other reviewers have commented, found it odd the tri tip was cubed rather than sliced. We want to see the smoke ring on our bbq.which is not possible when the meat is cubed and covered with sauce. The sauce was also on the sweet side but the greens were quite good. Price point will be an issue for this place going forward, but in an era of high inflation, folks might have to get used to it, here and in other establishments. read more

I'm glad I tried it but will not be back. Not worth the $50 for the two meals. I wanted this place to be better. I can't believe people will recommend it until they make some improvements to the preparation of the food. The good: The staff were friendly and nice. The place was clean. The bathroom was impressive with a $89 trash can with price tag still on it. . They were asking for feedback about the food so I'm writing this review. The bad: Tri tip cold and dry with scraps of small cubes of meat drenched in bbq sauce. French fries were not fully cooked and soggy. Bread was stale served in a ziplock bag. Limited menu of Dad's 4 favorite things. Need mom there to step up the game. Bbq flavor is best when it's fresh warm and moist. Have you ever gone over to a friend's house to eat and the food just ain't no good? read more

Don't waste your time will not go back. Giving out dry rib tips, mostly bone by the way. No I do not want a partial credit on my next visit just keep the change I'll take my business to Horn at least I can see the meat being cut tri tip portion laughable p.s. I would never cut the tritip like strips you bled out the juices if there were any. And yes I have an extensive background in culinary and this is just not right. No need to take this personal just fix it. You know the quality of meat your serving is bad. read more

Incredible from the first bite to licking the sauce from my fingers. Craved the ribs for days after eating. Friendly crew and fast service.

Not charging customers for food that they didn't receive.order ribs and a side and paid . Then they told me they were out of ribs . I then requested a credit back and the stated they did but still waiting for my credit after two weeks. read more

After going to the original Dad's in Pittsburg for years, I decided to go to their new location in Walnut Creek. Needless to say, they nailed it. Had the ribs and beans. The sauce was just as I remembered it. Great smoke and flavor. Meat fell off the bone. Would highly recommend checking out Dad's for your next BBQ meal. Pricing was reasonable too. read more

I spent 85 dollars I went I saw the advertisement the banana pudding was nothing like what saw.Did not even eat box pudding with vanilla wafers. Bbq 33 dollars for a 2 way small portions was salty. Sugar in greens just a no for me Links a no tri tip chopped up. read more

Overpriced Got the 3 way combo meal Portions are small Tri tip was cubes and dry not much taste Chicken was good Ribs were so so. Got the greens and Mac and cheese not impressive for the price Not likely to go back again. read more

Friendly staff and clean environment. Foods were just too over priced. Almost $30 for lunch. Food was mid at best. I enjoyed the ribs but the tri-tip was bits of cube pieces. Portions aren't very much. Mac and cheese 2/5. If I eat out, especially at a bbq joint, I would want to feel like I'm "eating out" and not food that tasted like I cooked it myself. read more

Good portions fantastic mom's gumbo great location plenty of parking. Easy to find, great bbq. Friendly staff.

Delighted to have authentic bbq here in Walnut Creek. Excellent ribs and hot link. Tasty tri-tip but personally prefer slices of meat to chopped. I judge sides by greens and Mac and cheese. Both were spot on. Service was gracious. AND, the generous portions provided lunch for two the next day. Will be back again...soon read more

No one can afford a $30 lunch in this economy! Ribs were okay and the staff were friendly. They should introduce cheaper options such as sandwiches read more
