The food is always good. I ordered the super family feast for friends who had a terrible loss of a loved one. There was a miscommunication with the order and it was duplicated. After sharing how we actually lost 4 people this month, the owner allowed us to take both orders. He didn't have to do that. We are extremely grateful. This was truly a blessing as it allowed us to bless another grieving family. Nathan and Ethan were very helpful with my orders and their dad made this all happen. May God continue to bless you and your family. Thank you, sincerely! We are extremely grateful! read more

I took my staff to Gracie's after hearing great things about it, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! The staff was kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was perfect. They even have a beautiful covered patio in the back, ideal for summer dining. The food was incredible. It's rare to find BBQ that's both flavorful and perfectly cooked--not dry or over-seasoned like so many places. This spot is definitely going on our favorites list! read more

Ordered a pit boss plate with double side of Mac and cheese. My particular order came with chicken, jalapeño link, a taco, and ribs. And of course a piece of corn bread. My favorite was probably the link. It had just the right amount of spice (most would consider it somewhere between mild and medium spicy). You could taste the flavors and keep going back for more than one bite. The chicken was also favorite. Very flavorful and moist. Everything else was okay but I'd skip it a second time around to try something else. I can't comment on the service and ambiance since this was a to go order. Overall satisfied and I would bring friends here if someone was craving American BBQ. read more

Gracie's - Mac and Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Vallejo, California

You can dine in the open air restaurant or order and eat at Vallejo Brewing Company next door. We chose the latter as it was a little too chilly for us. Food was good overall (we had ribs, chicken club and pulled chicken bowl). With they had a potato side that wasn't potato salad. They give you a good bit of food so you may have leftovers! read more

I have a class in Vallejo on Sundays around the corner from Gracie's, so I have been eyeballing this place for a few months. Today I finally took the plunge and stopped in for some takeout; A Tri-tip sandwich (no cheese) with a slide of slaw. Service was super friendly and the food was out in no time. I'm not a fan of overly sauced bbq, so I was pleasantly surprised to find my sauce on the side! I tried a few bites before heading home, and oh my! The Tri-tip has a beautiful smoke ring and is so tender and flavorful. Their BBQ sauce is also really nice, but absolutely unnecessary with this meat. The slaw is so colorful and tasty! (purple cabbage, green cabbage, carrots, and I'm not sure what else) Plenty of parking when i was there (I think they have a parking lot, but I was parked on Marin), and the restaurant appears to have plenty of indoor seating. There is so much mediocre overpriced BBQ in the Bay Area, it's a relief to find a place that is genuinely good (and reasonably priced) I look forwarding to getting food from here again! read more

i belong to O.E. 3 and we have had Gracies cater to every meeting we have had. they knock it out of the park. chicken, ribs, cornbread, salad, pastries, it is all fantastic food. the owner ken oversees is all. they work very hard to make sure it is correct. their is no 5 stars, deserves a 10. ken and Crew, hats off to you all. read more

We ordered on DooDash and for some reason Gracies Family Bbq felt so right on a Friday night. We had the pit master and bbq chicken and ribs. Everything!! about Gracies down to the pesto pasta was outstanding and delicious . I think I died and went to heaven twice. read more

5 STAR + We've been coming to this barbecue spot for over 25 years, and it's still just as fantastic as day one. The food is consistently tasty, the place is spotless inside and out, the owner is involved in day to day operations, and the customer service is always top-notch. Today, our server Kayla took great care of us--smiley, friendly, and made us feel right at home. It's rare to find a place that stays this good for this long. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed! read more

Tried both the brisket and the pulled pork and both were great. Ice tea and lemonade made in house and served in giant mason jars. Their garlic roasted green beans were surprisingly really tasty. I might skip the Mac and cheese next time and try something else. Great patio and open air seating. read more

Gracie's - Pulled Pork Plate with a side of Green Beans and Mac and Cheese plus cornbread and an Arnold Palmer. - Barbeque Near Me - Vallejo, California

One of my favorites in downtown Vallejo. I always bring my friends here. It's got a cool laid back vibe. Try the Swamp Juice if you're into Arnold Palmers. It's worth a stop just for the juice! I really enjoy their pulled pork/pulled chicken bowl and croissant sandwiches. read more

Came on a Saturday evening with my husband. They have a small parking lot, but you can find street parking w/ no problem as well. No reservation needed - we were quickly able to grab a table and be seated immediately. We ordered: - Smoked Chicken Croissant Sandwich w/ a side of Mac'N'Cheese: the croissant sandwich was good. I'd eat it again for sure. The chicken was flavorful and moist. I added a ton of bbq sauce which really set it off. - Pit Masters Plate w/ Mac'N'Cheese, Potato Salad, and cornbread: My husband liked all of the meat in this dish. By the end he was licking his fingers so I take that to mean it was good. The downside for both of us were the sides. Both the potato salad and mac n cheese lacked seasoning. The cornbread was flavorless. Next time I'll try the other side options. If you have a craving for bbq I'd recommend swinging by here. Just get the meat and a pie for dessert (forget the sides)! read more

The food isn't the same. The chicken was dry and the ribs as well. The only thing that was good from the plate was the cornbread.

An other home run from Gracie's. No matter what we get from the personal plates we get when its just a few, to the Super Family feast when its the whole shop all the way down to the Thanksgiving Dinner, we are THANKFUL for Gracie's!! EVERYBODY loves it!! Caliber Collision loves you guys! XOXO read more

I've been going to Gracie's since they opened. Always thought they did a great job and served up delicious BBQ. It's been quite a while since I've eaten there. Was in the neighborhood today and thought that some good BBQ would be awesome. So, I motored over to Gracie's and was warmly greeted by the nice lady running the front of house. She took my order of a combo chicken and rib meal with cornbread and two sides. I got potato salad and coleslaw. I sat down and a few minutes later the nice lady brought my BBQ to me. That was super fast. Zoomed home with the sweet aroma of BBQ in the truck and it took will power to keep from gnawing on a rib. But I waited. Got home and fixed myself a plate, one rib, a chicken thigh and the sides. Took one bite out of the rib and it was dry as can be. Hmmm that's not like the Gracie's of old. Took a bite of chicken thigh and it was the same way. Dry. So dry I had to drink a lot of water to wash it down. Hmmmm. Sides were decent, but nothing to write home about. Didn't eat the cornbread because of probable wheat flour to which I'm allergic to. I get the feeling my BBQ had been sitting out for a long time or maybe it was smoked too long. Sigh. I really was looking forward to a good mess of 'Q. read more

My visit during Vallejo Restaurant Week 2022. Came here for dinner with my family and boy was it cold! They have very limited seating inside but spacious patio areas! One is covered and one is outside, backyard style decorated with outdoor lights that. My family and I sat in the covered patio area (is that even correct to say?) and yes, we were still cold but toughed it out. We ordered two of The Pitmaster; which was their special during VRW 2022, and to drink, Swamp Juice and Gracie's Southern Sweet Tea. The food came out quick. I like how the meats were on a separate tray and the sides were on another. The Pitmaster came with brisket, pulled pork, chicken, hot link, and ribs. Our sides were corn bread, mash and gravy, mac and cheese. The meats: My family and I rated each item that gave us an average of 3/5. I personally liked the ribs, pulled pork, and hot link. They were tender but not fresh tender, if that makes sense. It did have that nice smokey-BBQ flavor and was seasoned well. I added a little of their BBQ sauce just to add a little more flavor, but I definitely didn't need to because it's enjoyable with or without. The brisket was a bit tough in my opinion and somewhere between bland and tasty. I didn't try the chicken, but it was a pretty big chicken leg! The sides: The cornbread needed butter. It wasn't as moist and buttery as I hoped. The mac and cheese was good but adding BBQ sauce made it tastier. The mash and gravy was good, too. Honestly, nothing too amazing about the sides. I feel like you can go about your meals without them. The drinks: Swamp Juice and Gracie's Southern Sweet Tea were both refreshing and worth it. Not too sweet! The service: Service was good. There was only one server during our visit, and he checked in on us from time to time but also giving us privacy to eat. Parking: Street parking and a small parking lot on the side. Located in downtown Vallejo so don't leave anything in your car. Overall, I'd come back here again, but maybe during the day where the food is a bit more fresher. read more

Tons of good food for a good value. Helped us feed everyone at our party and everyone was impressed. Our guests event got to take to go boxes since there was so much food! Will definitely be ordering again in the future. read more

Sometimes it's good sometimes it's okay sometimes it's nasty maybe different chefs different days

Dry, dry, and more dry. What happened? Yall used to be really good. Maybe I just caught you guys at a bad time. But only reason I did 2 stars cause the hot link was juicy and good. An the customer service is always nice. But barely got through our ribs and tri tip because it was so dang dry. The ribs were almost as dry as jerky. My tri tip was also very cold. Very disappointed. read more

The food is absolutely delicious. Its homemade flavor, but better. The potato salad has bug chunks of potato, some hardboiled egg, it is perfection. The ribs are tender, the meat comes right off the bone. The mac & cheese is how I make my own, and not overly cheesy & stiff. And those cowboy cookies?! HUGE! Moist & chewy, slightly crispy. Order 2. Food is fantastic. You wont be sorry! read more

Gracie's I want you to know that we were VERY pleased with everything for our baby shower celebration from start to finish.

excellent food and excellent . Live in Napa Valley and I will never eat barbecue in Napa to Calistoga ever again. is it for us. Please stay this way. You'll always be busy. read more

Was in the area and noticed this place on the corner downtown. You shouldn't have a hard time finding parking but it might have a time limit.. so I walked in and sat in the small bar area where there are 2 or 3 small tables. The gentleman behind the counter was very professional and attentive as he got my drink and order put in pretty quick. I got an order of brisket and added a hot link, it came with 2 sides so I got the chili and mac and cheese. The brisket was stellar along with the sauce. The hot link was standard issue, nothing amazing but nothing to complain about as it wasn't burnt either. The mac wasn't bad at all, creamy and had some seasoning to it. The chili seemed home made and proper with the cheese on top. I spent about 30 bones on my meal and I ended up giving in and getting a lemon cupcake or pastry thing which was also worth the money. It was kinda empty when I walked in but plenty of people filled it up by the time I left. I can't wait to come back and bring my love interest when we're in the area. read more

I tried their barbecue for the first time and I was disappointed. It's a absolutely not. The food is not seasoned with love. It could be a lot better. My chicken was not cooked all the way it was still pink in the inside. The cornbread was the only thing good. I will not be back. read more

We selected Gracie's for our 19th hole yesterday. Fortunately Solano County moved into the red tier which allowed outdoor dining for the eight of us. We all sat together at a picnic table as we're all vaccinated now. Hubby & I ordered the Pit Master. Designed to be shared by two people. It's like a sampler plate. You can choose two sides. Consisted of: * one hot link * pulled pork - somewhat dry. Needed BBQ sauce * smoked brisket - half dozen slices. Somewhat dry too. Needed BBQ sauce. * baby back ribs - two ribs * 1/4 roasted chicken * scoop of potato salad side * scoop of coleslaw side * one cornbread * BBQ sauce Plenty of food for the two of us. I especially enjoyed the chicken and the baby back ribs. Both were tender of the bone. I ordered an Arnold Palmer. Served in a huge mason jar. Hubby had two bottled Blue Moon beer. 3 1/2 overall stars. Our server very efficient. She was gracious and allowed us to have three separate checks. read more

Gracie's - The Pit Master - Barbeque Near Me - Vallejo, California

Gracie's is a classic Vallejo family owned restaurant. I have always enjoyed having meals here since I was child. Sliced brisket plate is my favorite because it has a dry smoke on the meat that lingers on the exterior. The split chicken is juicy in the middle. I can't comment on the mashed potato because I didn't have it, but the look from it it seems like a thick and rich gravy. I got the pesto salad which is more on the dry side so maybe just a tad bit more pesto and it would be perfect. Hands down my favorite side though is the corn bread. I will order extra every time just to take home and enjoy for the next couple of days. Pro-tip warm it up and you will be in heaven!!! I have to give much respect to the owner because he always gives back to this community. He donated food for Vallejo High School's Senior Class Picnic in 2009 and 2010. He also donated a gift certificate for a meal to Vallejo Junior Giants that I used as a thank you gift to my parent volunteers. I'm sure he has done more above and beyond for our community. Thank you Gracie's for your delicious food and gold heart. Please support this local restaurant!!! read more

Had Gracie's for the first time in years and sorry we hadn't come back sooner. Loved everything on our pit master plate and great sides. Good value and had leftovers for 2 days.

The best bbq in CA north of L.A. Came here for dinner after a day at Six Flags and it was amazing.

The food was delicious and definitely show their professionalism through their catering!

Poor service, inconsistent food.I would love for this small business to be successful.

I use to love this place. I did not have good service last year which prevented me from returning this year. I wish Gracie's would change their menu and offer newer options. Location is not in a good area. read more

Gracie's is a great place to visit for BBQ. They have ample outdoor seating. It's a no frills place that serves decent food. I ordered chicken and brisket with green beans and Mac n cheese. I felt like I could have used more of the beans and Mac. The chicken and brisket were very flavorful with a tad bit too much on the salty side. I drank a lot of extra water to compensate. I will continue to patronize this establishment because they are consistent. read more
