Went for lunch today. No line and sat outside with my group of 5. Staff was super awesome. I asked them to throw together a plate of que for 5 so they did. Everything I tried was amazing. Stand out for sure was the brisket. That's the best brisket I've ever had. This place is 5 star legit and if you're a que fan you don't want to miss this place. What a nice addition to que starved SF! read more

Fikscue - Dino bone, brisket and nasi goreng - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've been wanting to try the East Bay location forever, but was discouraged by the distance and the infamous line. So I've had my eye on this one. If you're not there for an event at the Chase center, it's maybe a little odd, but it's nice being right off of the water. There's even a nice view from the outdoor seating area or you could take your food across the street and hang in the park and walkways along the bay. You order from the counter where they slice up your meats and serve out premade sides, so the service is pretty fast. There was no outrageous line thankfully. There was a large number friendly faces working behind the counter and in the kitchen, which is so very Indonesian to me. It was delicious and I would love to try the other diverse dishes on the menu. The only nitpick is that I wanted everything to be just a little bit warmer. I've never had that complaint before! Beef Back Ribs: They have the giant "dino rib" short rib cut in addition to these regular back ribs. We opted for the back ribs and they were delicious and still meaty. Good smoke, tender meat and chew on the edges. It seems like they're using a marinade and not a rub. Loved them. Nasi Goreng: I enjoyed this though it's different from nasi goreng that I've had in the past. It was a little heavier on shrimp paste than I prefer, but still good. Rujak Slaw: No notes! Just a really good and crunchy peanutty slaw. It's nice to offset the meat with a nice pile of acidic veggies. Rendang Plate: Classic delicious rendang with fall-apart chunks of beef. It comes with rice, sambal, perkedel (potato fritter), a perfectly crispy-edged fried egg, and a pile of crunchy krupuk. The whole presentation is really nice. read more

I've heard great things about this place and it's rare to hear about a good bbq spot in the bay. I came here before a Warriors game and was so exited to try the fusion between Indonesia and Texas bbq. This place is order first as most of the food is already prepared and go find your own seats. Brisket (4/5): So dry spots, but so juicy. The flavor was smoky and juicy. Cheddar jalapeño sausage (5/5); This is great to share as the cheese just bursts with flavor. The sausage is savoring with Indonesian flavors. Mac Goreng (4/5): I thought this was going to be like mi goreng but Mac. It tasted like a Mac n cheese with lots of spice. I thought it was unique to try and it was heavy. This will probably my favorite pregame whenever I go to Warriors games now. read more

Delicious, flavorful food here with beautiful views! We ordered the rendang plate, a small bite portion of chicken skewers, and veggie dumplings. I love how packed my plate was with brisket and the accompanying sides of kale curry, fried egg, potato fritters, rice, and garlic chips. The side of chicken skewers was very substantial too with some sides. We loved everything we ate. The service was quick as most of the food was ready to go, apart from the veggie dumplings, which were made fresh to order. It is important to note that this location is outdoor seating only, but we had perfect weather when we went, and it was super pleasant to sit outside and have a view of the water while we ate. It also definitely gets busy on game days and concert nights so keep that in mind. I would love to go back! read more

I wanted to try Fikscue at their original Alameda location but I didn't want to brave the long line there. I was stoked to learn that they opened another location by the Chase Center. I came here with a couple of friends on the weekend. There was no line and they had everything in stock! This could be a lowkey great solution for people who want to try Fikscue without the all morning commitment of waiting in line. There is a large outdoor seating area that is covered and has nice water front views. There is limited in door seating. Ordering is straightforward at the counter and the staff is nice. By far my favorite thing was the Rendang plate! The slow cooked brisket was super moist and flavorful. The kale curry was a nice compliment to the meat and it had a complimentary coconut milk flavor to balance the heaviness of the meat. At $23, it's a bit on the expensive side but the food is hearty and the quality is there. For BBQ, we got the smoked brisket and Dino rib. The meat met expectations but I wasn't blown away by it. Even though the meat wasn't dry, it also wasn't very moist. The dry rub had a nice peppery taste and it wasn't too salty. For the sides we got the Rujak slaw and Mac Goreng. Of the 2, the slaw was refreshing and it had a nice acidity to it. I think the Mac Goreng tasted a bit bland and I didn't think it was worth the price. Overall, I would come back for the Rendang plate because it was so dang good! In terms of the BBQ side of things, it was solid but not mind blowing. The sides were hit or miss. For 3 people this was more than enough food. I would come back to try some of the other plates like the Ayam plate or beef cheek. read more

I had never even heard of Fikscue until this past weekend when my cousin wanted to stop by, and I actually did not believe her explanation of how big the ribs are. Until I saw it with my own eyes The servers were super kind and took the time to explain each cut to us, so we ended up going with the famous dino rib and added the mac goreng on the side. & the dino rib was insane! Even though I haven't tried a ton of BBQ places, this was easily one of the most tender, juicy, and flavorful meats I've ever had. It literally falls right off the bone. My partner, who loves BBQ, said this is his favorite spot and he still can't stop thinking about it to this day. Highly recommend the mac goreng too! Already waiting for the day I can go back read more

3.5/5 Located on the second level of Chase Center, Fikscue is an indonesian BBQ spot with outdoor seating. They have meats, sides, and sandwich options. My friend and I got the Smoked Brisket and Dino Ribs. The Dino Ribs were juicy, fatty, and thick but the Smoked Brisket meat was dry and tough. I would have wanted more of the smokiness to come through especially after seeing the equipment that they had. For $72, I'm not sure if this was worth it but I would come back to try the other things. read more

Don Juan Valentines Edition: We still have the Super Bowl hangover even during Valentines week . We still crave the BBQ we just had Sunday during the big game. It's rare to find descent BBQ in San Francisco. The good BBQ in San Francisco is usually Hawaiian, Korean, and some Memphis and Texan BBQ. There is one place which has not only has American Texas type of BBQ but its fusionend with Indonesian flavors. They say food is the way to a man's heart. This place is located in Thrive City on Warriors Way. This is the place to go to satisfy your man's hunger on Valentine's Day and make him more joyous because the place is located next to the heart of Golden Warriors Dynasty home in San Francisco Chase Center. The experience of eating steps away from Chase Center with waterfront view and eating great BBQ makes an amazing Valentine's Day's combination. I had to try the Rendang Plate with smoked brisket and it was flavorful, juicy, and spicy. I also had the Ayam Bakar plate with bbq chicken. It was delicious with great flavor and you have to get saucy with their tangy dipping sauce. This a must try barbecue spot with heart in San Francisco for some smoked Indo-Tex barbecue. If your in SF and crave some good "barbecue "and don't have a "clue "then go to Thrive City in San Francisco to "Fikscue" for the food "rescue" Once the Super Bowl ends it's the end of the NFL football "season"but you can still grab some BBQ from all different types and "region"some from Texas, Memphis, Carolina, and the even Hawaiian that's "Polynesian" but this place is a fusion of American Texas style and "Indonesian" read more

This past Saturday, we had the chance to finally check out Fikscue and see what the hype was about. This location is fairly new and situated in the shopping area connected to the Chase Center. Seating is only outdoors so expect this place to only be dine-in when the weather is nice. One flaw for this location is the parking situation as there is no free parking for the shopping center at all even when there's no games/events going on. I can't really tell you much about the service, it was okay and nothing crazy. I don't expect them to really check up on tables when it's busy because most of them are behind the counter helping scoop up sides ordered but it wasn't busy at the time and it wasn't close to game time either. The food was honestly really good and most definitely some of the best bbq I've had in California. Price wise though it can get PRICEY fast, for example one soda can is 4$. (Everything picture in the photo was a total of 96$) I expected the ribs and brisket to be expensive but that was honestly more justifiable solely off the fact that everything was tender and delicious. The fried rice was also very good but the Mac goreng did feel pretty cold and kind of felt disappointed due to the fact that they had just opened. (Not sure maybe it's not supposed to be cold and supposed to be more like a Mac salad?) The sausage was one of the highlights of this place as it's so packed with flavor and just the right kind of spicy. If I ever come back it'll probably be to check out their Alameda location and see if the vibe is different but just experiencing the Chase Center commercial area makes me not want to come back. I do recommend people come give them a try either here or in Alameda. read more

I was sooo excited to find an Indonesian spot this close to my workplace, and it definitely lived up to the hype. I got the ayam bakar plate and my friend ordered the mac goreng and the brisket sandwich. Everything on my plate was super flavorful and honestly reminded me of home. I wasn't too big of a fan of the mac goreng but my friend loved his order. My only complaint is that the sambal wasn't spicy, but that's just my personal preference. Also, this Fikscue location has such a beautiful view of the bay and Bayfront Park, which makes it an even better place to grab a meal. I'll definitely be back! read more

Great ambiance, interesting flavors. The quality of the meat fell a bit flat and my opinions of the sides varied. I really enjoyed the slaw and it was probably my favorite item on the plate. The brisket was nothing too special, a bit dry and chewy. The beef cheeks were tender but weren't good enough to warrant the price. The service was very friendly. read more

Fikscue - Barbeque Near Me - San Francisco, California

After seeing and hearing great reviews about Fiskcue as one of the few halal BBQ spots with an Indonesian twist, we drove over five hours and made it our first stop. We spent around $145 total: $38 for a Dino rib, $18 for a back rib, $16 for two sausages, $22 for the beef rendang plate, and $19 for brisket and sides. Overall, the pricing felt on the higher side for what we received. Unfortunately, the food didn't fully meet our expectations. The ribs were not as tender as we hoped and were slightly dry rather than fall-off-the-bone. The rendang plate had good flavor, but the food was served cold, which took away from the overall experience. The restaurant wasn't busy during our visit, so it's unclear if the food had been sitting for a while. We really wanted to love this place, but between the price and the quality, the experience felt just average for us. read more

Ate here before the Warriors game. I always review their menu at home before deciding what to order in line. So we ordered family style for 5 people. The Smoked Brisket was tender paired nicely with the bbq and sweet sauce. The Ayam Bakar, Indonesian spiced chicken was baked with peanut butter and spices. The meat close to the bone was still red. Tried the nasi goreng Indonesian fried rice. It's been years since I tried this rice and it was full of diff flavors unlike the Chinese fried rice. The presentation was beautiful and it was devoured by all. Next time I'm trying the Dino bone all to myself plus the shrimp chips and the smoked ayam lumpia. No dining inside, only outside. There's enough lights and heaters to keep you warm. read more

I came here for a Mandarin happy hour event on the weekend and got the nasi goreng and cendol to enjoy while meeting new language exchange buddies. The nasi goreng had a very fusion taste with the addition of brisket. It was quite different from the nasi goreng I tried in Bali a few years ago but still quite tasty. I really liked the cendol dessert drink with the pandan jelly, which there was an ample amount of. This restaurant is located in a great area with a beautiful view of the bay, and the prices are pretty reasonable for the area. Staff are friendly and accommodating. I would really like to come back and try other menu items. read more

I really wanted to love this place, and I'd been trying to get there despite limited hours for a few months. I finally managed to get there just as they opened so I could try the brisket and a rib. And both were good - but neither was great. You know how with good meat, you'll sometimes get that rush of flavor. It just didn't happen here. And at the price point, you'd want a little bit more than good. Service is great though, and the sauces on the side are incredible. But the meat is "just good;" maybe it was a bad day? read more

My friend mentioned this place has a location in Alameda that's known for their Indonesian bbq, so we checked it out before our show. He ordered a pound of their brisket while I got the rendang plate. We both thought the briskey was extremely tough, stringy, lacking flavor, and an overall fail. Again, the brisket in my rendang plate was pretty dry and definitely needed some type of sauce. Nothing else on the plate stood out--egg was rubbery, shrimp chips were soggy, the rice was cold--except for their curry kale which made the plate bearable. Hopefully, this was just an off day. For the quality, I would not say worth the price. read more

Fikscue's new location at Chase is arguably even better than their Alameda location! No huge line during peak hours and I think the food tastes even better here! This time we ordered: - the beef rib: very fatty and tender, not too fatty this time - brisket: always a must - beef cheeks: sooo tender!! they didn't have this last time at the Alameda location and would highly recommend trying this. - potato salad: an ordinary potato salad - rujak slaw: if you like sweet peanut-y salad flavors, this is the side for you - nasi goreng: nothing beats some fried rice with your bbq Highly recommend checking out this location if this is more convenient for you. Rarely do I find that the second location of any store has the same quality, but I can confidently say that Fikscue is the exception! read more

Had dinner here on Tuesday before watching the Warriors game. We're so happy that it's open on game night, even though it's listed as Closed on Tuesday on the Yelp page. The line to order food seemed to be moving quite slowly. Could be because we're hungry and already quite late due to traffic, too. There was plenty of seating outside, and there're plastic tumblers for water next to the utensils. After reading other Yelpers' reviews, I really wanted to try the Rendang Plate, and I wasn't disappointed. The brisket was very flavorful. It's not dry nor chewy, but still not as soft as I would like. The kale curry was tasty, the fried egg was perfectly cooked with crispy edges and a running yolk. The sambal on top was awesome and not spicy. The garlic chips were just regular Indonesian shrimp chips, which I liked. The potato fritter could use some more flavor, but wasn't bad after adding some bbq sauce. Portion was very generous, and we were both very full after finishing our plates. Wished we had more time to enjoy the food slowly. Price was reasonable, especially when comparing to prices inside the stadium. Would love to come back and try other items on the menu next time we're in the area. read more

We came here before a Dubs game a couple of days ago and this was our first choice for food. It's an interesting menu with traditional Western style BBQ combined with Indonesian dishes. I've had a lot of BBQ, so there wouldn't have been a new culinary experience ordering BBQ, so I ordered the Rendang beef plate, which came with kale curry, some chips, rice - all good stuff. The beef was shredded and (I think) slow cooked, so very soft and flavorful. None of the flavors here were very exotic or polarizing - I think it would be good for someone who wants to venture beyond the conventional, but doesn't want to take too many of risks. Taste was great, portions were generous, and prices were reasonable especially considering this was located in Thrive City where like all arena food, prices are generally inflated. All the meat (especially the brisket) looked juicy and delicious. Great place, with convenient seating in a protected area and not far from the Chase Center entrance. Enjoyed it very much! read more

I was so excited to hear that Fikscue is in SF after reading so much on the news about them. I was free on a Sunday so decided to come for lunch when there won't be a line since it's not basketball season yet. I looked up Thrive City SF and found out they're also celebrating mental health day and have free yoga. I'm so glad I came for the event or I would've felt disappointed only coming for the bbq. I really like bbq but the price here is way too expensive. They don't sell pork ribs which is what I normally order. They are halal or Muslim so don't eat pork which I learned from reading Zeitoun. $15 for only 1 piece of beef rib which is not the most expensive dino rib. Around $10 for 2 pieces of brisket. $8 for the Indonesian chicken which is spicy so I shouldn't have ordered it. The sides are at least $10. I don't get why the coleslaw is $10 which is more expensive than the chicken, same with potato salad, coconut rice, or fried rice! I understand they're located in Thrive City but the price is unreasonable. I spent $31 something without being able to try any of the sides. They do give out free Indonesian coffee candy when you pay at the counter so at least I didn't have to tip. read more

Super excited that they open a second location in chase center. Order with counter staff and pay with cashier. Self service water and utensils. Plenty of outdoor seatings. Helpful and friendly staffs. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with a smoky, sweet glaze, and the ribs were fall-apart soft with just the right kick. The house sauce ties everything together--rich, bold, and slightly spicy. Macaroni salad added a refreshing, creamy contrast that balanced the smoky meats perfectly. The potato salad added a creamy, comforting balance to the smoky meats A satisfying, flavor-packed combo! read more

What a hidden gem in the back corner of Chase Center! It has a great view with great heated patio seating. The view is also wonderful. The food was powerfully flavored and packed a punch! It was unique with its fusion of Tex BBQ and Indonesian cuisines! Indo-tex? That caught my attention; what is that? If we are here for a special event, we gotta try something special! This was it! Each part of the bento or set was good! Mmmm, I've never tried that before; that too! There was plenty of brisket to try. I didn't get to try the full pieces of BBQ meats, but now I know and will have to try it next time. It was prepared quickly too, so it was convenient as we were getting hungry already. The aromas also were strong and attracted us. Oh yeah, the music from next door was awesome! It can be optional as you can sit outside with the music or choose to sit farther and protected from the audio, if you so choose. read more

Nice little Indonesian southern bbq fusion place on the second floor of thrive city outside of chase center. Tons of outdoor seating with a covered patio (no indoor seating) and a nice view of the bay. The bbq was tender and flavorful. I liked the bbq sauces which were self serve on the side as well as the pickled onion/banana peppers (not self serve but they're good). We really enjoyed the sausage and beef cheeks. Also love how there's some unique sides that showcase Indonesian flavors!

I think it's safe to say that with Nite Yun in the Ferry Building, Fikscue in Thrive City, and the plethora of high quality Burmese spots, SF truly deserves the title of "Southeast Asian food capital of America" I was blown away by the bold flavors at Fikscue (and I haven't even tasted the ribs yet!) I got the Ayam plate which came with grilled chicken, a fried egg, kale curry, turmeric rice, potato fritters, chips, eggplant and tofu. Everything was super flavorful and fresh! The staff also gave me a side of peanut sauce which I added to the chicken for extra flavor. Can't wait to come back here and try the ribs next time.

Had pretty high expectations since I heard it just opened. Was interested to find out it was Indonesian inspired BBQ which is a really unique concept! Unfortunately, the ordering process was really slow... on a Saturday we were right at the door, and it took 30min just to get to the ordering area. You can see all the meats and sides while you're deciding what to get. What we ordered: -Smoked Brisket: very tender, but really dry. needed the bbq sauce provided in bottles at the table -Beef Back Ribs: fell off the bone, my favorite of the meal -Nasi Goreng: fluffy fried rice, but had clumps of rice in it... and not a ton of flavor -Sate Ayam (chicken skewers): also very dry and needed the peanut sauce -Ayam Lumpia: thick and stuffed with vermicelli. i liked the mix of sauces on the top Maybe they're still working out all the details since they're still new. Seating was gorgeous though! Great view of the bay and would really only come here if you're in the area, I wouldn't make a trip out here. BBQ is a pretty pricey cuisine and I felt like this was ok read more

When I first heard about Fikscue Indonesian bbq, I was super excited to try it especially after finding out they opened a second location in Mission Bay. The first time I came here, the lady who helped me seemed a bit rushed even though there were no other customers inside. She did not explain things clearly and said I could do plating or BBQ but it was whatever they had left. When I looked at the sheet that listed what they had left, it showed only the chicken. I clarified with her since it looked like the briskets were out on the menu sheet. She said they had that but just no beef rib. Pretty confusing! I ordered a pound of briskets to go and it was close to $40. The brisket itself was good with the orange sauce it came with. It was not my favorite bbq spot but it was decent. No where close to comparison with Texas BBQ. It felt like a fast food spot for take out but it had a nice patio where you could enjoy the ocean bay. The second time I came, I asked another staff about the plating option. She said I need to order the type of bbq meat first and then add the sides for additional cost. Did not sound like plating was an option since it was just pay as you select. I ordered half a pound of brisket this time, one side of the fried rice, and one side of the Indonesian style mac and cheese. Both sides cost $10 each. This time, the half pound of brisket seemed juicer than the first time. However, it was pretty salty. It did not come with the orange sauce either, just the bbq sauce. Brisket did not impress my husband or myself this time. However, the mac and cheese side was pretty tasty. The mac and cheese was super flavorful with a kick of spice. We were surprised our oldest toddler (less than 3) was able to eat it. At first, my son stuck out his tongue and said spicy, but then he continued to eat it. Guess I would need to get that again. The fried rice was good too but definitely recommend the mac and cheese over it. Overall, decent Indonesian BBQ located at the Chase Center. read more

We came to Fikscue before a Valkyries game on a Saturday evening. They were sold out of several items (including the plate options) and were backed up on some others so I would suggest arriving at least an hour before tipoff for a Valkyries game, probably longer for a Warriors game. The line took about 20 minutes and most of the food was ready immediately. All of the food we got was incredible so I can't be too sad they were sold out of other stuff! The brisket sandwich was my favorite item; it was literally stuffed with meat and the bread was SO buttery and pleasantly chewy. The BBQ sauce had a sweet peppery flavor that I really enjoyed. The mac garong was not like a macaroni salad or mac and cheese, it was drier with pieces of meat and lots of spices. The sausage was pretty unique so it's worth trying plus it's a good supplement if you want a little more protein. read more

Stopped by for lunch. We ordered the brisket, beef ribs and had the Mac goreng. Let's start with the Mac goreng. Not your typical grandma's mac salad. It had great and complex flavor with a variety of Indonesian seasonings and grated cheese on top. Now the brisket. Remember his meats are smoked for 12 hours. They then rest for 12 hours before being reheated and served. The brisket was tender, sweet but not overly sweet. There was a pronounced smoke flavor that was not so overbearing as to impact the flavor of the Indonesian spices. Lastly the beef ribs. They were good, but between the brisket and the ribs I would choose the brisket. Another note. We had a chance to talk to and meet the owners. They happily answered our questions. were very friendly and let us sample some of the food. before we decided to order.. We even discussed their decision to expand to San Franscico. read more

Indonesian Texas Halal Barbecue is not something you see every day, and Fikscue's new location by the Chase Center makes their spiced and smoked meats more accessible than ever. Unlike at their original Alameda location, lines aren't a problem here, and the counter service was quick at taking orders, slicing meats, and dishing up plates. Their meats by the pound included their lean Beef Brisket and meaty Beef Back Ribs, served on the bone, along with sides of pickles and two sweet and tangy sauces. We also tried their Indonesian-inspired fusion sides including Rujak Slaw, a sweet, crunchy mixture of chopped cabbage, cucumber, and pineapple dressed in peanut sauce; and my favorite, the Mac Goreng, a take on mac and cheese, made of macaroni mixed with corned beef, bell peppers, egg, green onions, fried shallots, and shredded cheese. The creative combination was deliciously salty, cheesy, crunchy, and creamy all at the same time--a definite highlight! In my opinion, the barbecue meats here didn't seem overtly "Indonesian," but the Indonesian rice plates really showcased bold Southeast Asian flavors. The Ayam Bakar plate featured a spiced, grilled chicken leg quarter, served with coconut turmeric rice, kale curry, eggplant balado (eggplant with sambal), a potato fritter, a fried egg, garlic chips, and a green sambal. But my favorite item of all was the Rendang Plate, which featured slow-cooked smoked brisket in a spiced coconut milk curry sauce. Since the rendang was made with smoked meat, it had a depth of flavor that went beyond your typical rendang, and all of the vegetable side dishes were deliciously flavorful too! read more

Solid food, great views, but bundle up Tried Fikscue and overall it was a good experience, with a few caveats. The food is good, though definitely on the pricey side (which isn't shocking given the location). The potato salad was fine but nothing memorable. The rice, on the other hand, was surprisingly good, flavorful and well done. The clear standout was the Dino Rib: absolutely the star of the meal and worth ordering if it's available. The views are great, especially being right next to the water, but that also comes with a downside. There's no indoor or even covered seating, and the food gets cold fast. Eating outside in the freezing SF wind isn't exactly ideal. While this is somewhat expected given the location, it would be a big upgrade if they offered an indoor-outdoor setup, similar to other spots in the area. All in all, great setting and a strong main dish, but the lack of covered seating and high prices knock it down a star. Still worth checking out just dress warm and eat quickly. read more

Located outside of Chase Center, I was expecting a significant markup on prices just because of their location but there was not! Fikscue kept their pricing the same as their original Alameda location. I was happy to be able to try their food without having to line up for an hour (so I hear) at their Alameda location. I ordered a single dino rib bone and a side of rujak slaw to help cut the richness of the dino rib. Both had great flavor and the slaw was very unique due to their Indonesian fusion and flavors. read more

The type of good that puts a smile on your face with a nod of enjoyment while eating it. I went here before a Warriors game (on my birthday) and this was the perfect meal. Good bbq takes time and time is expensive, so this isn't cheap, but the quality is high. It was the perfect meal before the game. The service was friendly and not rushed. It would be better if there were two people taking meat orders and slicing and weighing meat to help the line move along and to help answer questions, but that is just my 2 cents. Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of traditional bbq sides. I don't dislike them, but in general, I think they are overhyped, over priced and somewhat boring. The sides here however are delicious, innovative and the perfect compliment to traditional bbq. The coconut turmeric rice, the eggplant and tofu with the red sauce, the fried egg, green sambal, garlic chips, and kale curry were all BANGERS! My mouth is watering just thinking about it all. The potato fritter was also good, but not quite as good as the rest of the sides. They also put some pickled red onion and peppers on your plate for acid to help cut through the rich fattiness of the all the meat. I will definitely be back. Indonesian sides were meant to be paired with bbq, I'd like to try the beef cheeks, but I'll probably get the brisket again when I go, lol. The dino rib is tempting, but it is a lot of meat (twss) and it is pretty pricey. Probably worth it, but still. Thanks for a great meal. pro tip, you can bring your food to the brewery next door, and you can grab a beer next door and bring it over to eat with your bbq, either way. If you are going before a Warrior game, give yourself some time, the line moved sort of slowly... read more

Taxas craft BBQ with a side of Indonesian food is a match made in heaven. The hubs and I stumbled upon Fikscue at the Chase Center and DAMN was it delicious. The halal bbq spot serves some incredibly tender meats including giant dino ribs and brisket. The highlight for me were their Indonesian dishes. The Ayam Bakar plate was an explosion of flavor. And their nasi goreng just hit the spot. You've gotta check this place out. AYAM BAKAR PLATE Grilled chicken marinated in Indonesian spices.
