    I placed my order through DoorDash. I ordered a 3-meat combo plate with two sides. Had I known the food was coming from the Berkeley location, I would not have placed the order. I assumed it was coming from the Jack London Square location, which has been better in my experience. The mac and cheese was overcooked and lacked seasoning. The green beans were okay. The sausage links were fine. Unfortunately, the brisket was dry and overcooked, and the ribs were tough and mostly fat with very little meat. Overall, this was really disappointing, especially for the price. The quality was not what I expected from Everett & Jones.

    Goodluck

    Brisket was okay but potato salad &BBQ chicken was good. Service was quick and pricey BBQ. Ambiance was not bad maybe during it's ok for dining outside.

    Brisket and rib dinners

    Still really good Q. They changed it to ordering from outside with order windows but it makes it kind of hard to hear them without a mic or sticking head in window. Prices have definitely jumped since last time I was here. I guess that's inflation though, everything gets more expensive. Been craving E&J for a hot minute!

    My 3-pc rib and potatoe salad meal. Love it.

    E&J's is always gonna hit the spot when I start craving BBQ in the spring-summer season. The staff are nice and work quickly, they are attentive with taking the order which I love. As you wait, you can look at photos from the past and view commemorative tributes to family and friends of the business, which I like. Order placed, food packaged, craving satisfied. I'm an easy-going guy so I just get 3-pc of ribs with double potato salad. I've only ever been to the Berkeley location due to its ease in access and parking availability, I've not tried the Oakland location, so I might need to swing by over there too. Sharing photos of my food and their sign; if you're hesitant to try E&J's- don't be! It's a family style local business that is a staple for Bay Area heads who love good BBQ.

    Sliced Beef Brisket Dinner
    Brittany D.

    First time coming here! Came and got some bbq, the service was quick and friendly. The place was compact, when people started coming in, but we didn't wait long at all. I got the brisket dinner plate with green beans and Mac and Cheese. I really enjoyed the brisket slices, it was tender and juicy. The Mac and cheese was cheesy, how I like it, but lacked a little seasoning for me as well as the green beans. I would've liked a little bit more seasoning on those. Nevertheless, I used the bbq sauce to support the flavor. I also got the hot for the sauce, but it wasn't as spicy as I thought it would be. I would definitely go back for the sliced brisket.

    Absolutely delicious! We were able to place our orders quickly and we're out the door by the time the line started. The links weren't too hot, the mac and cheese was cheesy and the potato salad was good. Food was fresh and tasty.

    See all

    After work Easter dinner. We finally dined in here…read more Really good BBQ spot. Glad we came here. Everything looked so yummy when it came. Good flavors from everything. My favorite was the mac & cheese and brussels sprouts. The meats were so tender! Although, I tried a piece of pork link, for some reason, I didn't like it. It seemed too grainy. The ambience was chill, and they have full bar. Nice and spacious. My only complaint is that I was trying to order & the phone rings & the host took the call. What I learned in customer service in my 20 years +, you attend to the customer in front of you first. Phone calls can wait. When she got off the phone, other workers came over and they started talking about what's next in their schedule. Still, I'm over here, waiting to order the rest of the stuff. That what the unprofessional part of things.. Glad we still came here to try. It still earned a star to come back!

    The ambiance felt more like being at a loud concert than a place to sit and enjoy a meal. As for…read morethe "service," there really wasn't any--food was brought out on tin cookie sheets with whatever they had left, since they were out of chicken, tri-tip, and most of their meats. The food itself was extremely disappointing. The potato salad was clearly not homemade and very bland. The collard greens were overly salty. The pulled pork was dry and had no flavor. The brisket came as two very thin, tiny slices that looked more like pieces of bread than meat. I also ordered a sausage, and it was soggy with a ground beef-like texture, as if it had been sitting in water. For $18, I expected something that at least resembled sausage. The ordering process was inconvenient--you place your food order at the register, then have to go separately to the bar to order and pay again for drinks. In total, we spent $100 for two meals (each with one meat and two sides), two IPAs, and the sausage. Definitely not worth it. Would I recommend this place? Maybe if you just want to grab a beer and don't plan on having a conversation due to the noise. But for the food--absolutely not. I'm from Texas, and I've never had barbecue this disappointing.

It's the kind of place you almost miss if you're not looking for it, but once you find it, you'll keep coming back. The brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs are consistently excellent. The meat is incredibly tender, it basically melts in your mouth, and that deep, smoky flavor really seeps all the way through, not just on the surface. The sauces come on the side, and they're free, so don't be shy about asking for extra. I actually asked if there was a limit once, and the cashier laughed and said something like, "Maybe six containers?" If I'm being picky, I'd probably skip the hot links next time. They're not bad, just nothing special compared to how strong everything else is, slightly smoky, but otherwise pretty standard. The collard greens are a standout side dish. They've got this nice acidity that cuts through the richness of the meat really well. There is a noticeable vinegar tang, though, so if that's not your thing, you might want to pass, but if you like that balance, they're great. Another big bonus, there's a park right outside the building near the exit by Cashew Creamery. It's perfect if you've got kids. There's this whale structure they can climb into (through the mouth or side), with a slide on top and climbing holds all over -- fins, back, tail, the whole thing. There are also surfboard-style balance boards on springs and plenty of open space and greenery to run around. And if you're making a little outing of it, it's only about a 10-minute walk to Bay Street, so you can easily pair your meal with a stroll, some shopping, or more food and drinks nearby.

Even street parking on a weeknight is a bit hard because it's right where everything is on telegraph in Oakland. You'll find a spot around, just a matter of walking a bit further. It's not an AYCE spot but you're paying for the meat quality which is really worth it. The service is wonderful here. There's a button on the table if you can't flag anyone down if you need something. We got our appetizers first which is what I really like in a restaurant and then the good quality meat comes out. I always get cheese corn if I see it on the menu and tbh, this one was just ok. They come with a good big set of bonchons for you to enjoy as well. For 2 people, we got a 3-4 person meat platter (set A) and it was actually enough food for us to finish just because the meat was THAT delicious and great quality. They opt to cook for you as well if you're patient to wait because they do that for a lot of tables. We just weren't patient and cooked our own, they were already plenty busy, no need to add more work. If but you don't like cooking, but enjoy your kbbq, this is a good spot to check out.
