St. Louis Style Smoked Pork Ribs
Lenore N.

The food is so good that it makes up for the lack of ambiance and perfunctory service. Portions are generous and tasty. Only thing that didn't hit the spot was the Cole slaw, which was way too sweet and needed more vinegar or something savory. We hadn't been there for years and were happy to come back. Best ribs we've had in years. Smoky, tender, flavorful. Yum.

Actually smoked meats. Three meats combo with two sides. Too happy eating , try the fried peach pie with whip cream for dessert.

Sausage brisket and end tips

Friendly staff newly acquired by an employee of 8 years. Barbecue is good would highly recommend this to anybody

Memphis Minnie burger comes with fried onion string, cheese, and one side dish

They have reopened and the cook is running the business since 12/25 They have the Wed to Friday lunch specials. The burger Friday is the on with deep fried onion strings, cheese and hamburger patty cooked to the temp you want. The cook mentioned they are changing the way they prep the bbq ribs so they don't dry out on the rack. No BBQ beef ribs on the menu anymore. The Friday special does come with a side of your choice. Another customer was enjoying the greens.

Ribs we had to cut in half to try to stretch the meal to feed more people

Let me start by saying if could give zero stars I would. A friend ordered catering for a school dinner dance. She ordered 12 of the VIP Packages and extra cornbread. The food was to be delivered at 6pm. The cost of the food was $1808. At 5:45 we received a call that they were still finishing the food so they were going be late. The event was in El Cerrito and they were delivering from San Francisco. They finally arrived with the food around 6:40. They were in those black totes that you get from Costco with the yellow lids. The food was not hot. All the meats were individually wrapped. There was not the 9 meats that were advertised. There was not nearly enough food for 115 people as contracted for. The sides came in small individual containers. When transferred those into the aluminum pans they were not even half filled again clearly not enough to feed even 50 people. The fries were the only side that almost filled the container but. It was extremely stressful. We had to spend a lot of time unwrapping the meats and sides. No labels on anything. None of the 3 sauces they sent had labels. We had to cut the big ribs and chicken to try to stretch the meal. We had to have people quickly go restaurants near by and get food to try to make up for the lack of food. Needless to say the event was stressful. Some people did not even eat to ensure others had enough food. I would definitely never order catering from this restaurant again and wouldn't even be willing to try the actual restaurant.

I ordered takeout. The restaurant was super smoky and was really hard to stay. I ordered the three-piece combo. Brisket, ribs, and tri-tip. Alongside coleslaw and potatoes. The brisket was absolutely the best part it came with a complementary cornbread that was good. Lemonade was really yummy.

VERY DRY St. Louis Style Smoked 3 Pork-Ribs (3 Pcs) (Resembles the texture of beef jerky)

BBQ RIBS: 4/10 - Taste 7/10 - Tenderness 1/10 * Ribs were very DRY MAC N CHEESE: 3.5/10 -Taste 3.5/10 * Taste just wasn't it. But edible when Hungry CORNBREAD: 8/10 - Taste: 8/10 *Highly recommend POTATO SALAD: 7/10 -Taste: 7/10 * Potato salad was good

minus 3 ribs from an ordered Memphis Minnie pork slab!!!

5/14/2025, It's been almost 2 months since I last ordered the Full Rib Slab. I cover these ribs with Oakland's Everette and Jones BBQ sauce. (12 ribs per slab) It's THE BOMB you out !!

Good brisket and good cornbread! Was in SF for a work trip and stopped in at this joint, and it didn't disappoint. Definitely give it a try.

Outdoor seating options?

Yes, there is outdoor seating with a few tables. I can't remember the setup though, whether there is a cover for rain since I ate indoors a few months ago.

What's the parking like there on a Saturday around lunch? Handicap parking?

It's tricky but doable. Metered on Divis is ok, plus you can get lucky a block off either way.

The BBQ brisket was not so good. I ask the cook for lean brisket and was given 30% fat From 1/2 lb . Payed for extra pickles and got 4 small pieces in it to go cup. The staff really acts like they don't care. No personality made to order from a computer screen. With a staff standing there, playing on their phones. Small amount of sauce. The banana pudding was good, but didn't have very much flavor. But I could tell they made the effort to make it a special dessert. Mac & cheese was OK. But wouldn't order it again. I live in the neighborhood and found them through a TikTok video. Really sad they can't run the restaurant like adults. Adult restaurant tours answer the phone adult restaurant tours have enough food to sell at least 30 minutes before closing. Adult restaurant tours make sure their customer happy. The place is run by children. I've spent 25 years in the restaurant industry and cannot understand the way this place is run. Was really hoping to find a good barbecue place in SF . This one is not IT

YakiniQ really said "leave hungry? never heard of her."…read more Pulled up with my homie Jun because this man treated me to lobster last time and you already know... Asians keep receipts but in a wholesome way We don't split love, we rotate blessings. For $49.99/person, this AYCE Korean BBQ was straight violating my self-control. The short ribs?? HELLA BUSSIN. Like actually criminal. Every bite had me ascending like a TikTok food review in 4K. Meat so juicy I almost stood up and thanked the cow personally. The grill smoke got us smelling like seasoned warriors walking outta there but honestly worth it. Staff kept the meats coming faster than my auntie asking why I'm still single. And let me put y'all onto some elite Chinese vocabulary real quick: "好吃到舔手指" (hǎo chī dào tiǎn shǒu zhǐ) = "so good you lick your fingers." That's EXACTLY the vibe. Finger-licking good fr fr. YakiniQ got me fighting for my life, unbuttoning my pants in the parking lot, and already planning my return. 10/10. No crumbs left. Their "Red Hot" peanut sauce is the carry here - no doubt. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards!

Came here last night to celebrate a friend's birthday. Had poor experiences at the Livermore…read morelocation in the past, so wasnt really expecting much from this spot either. Granted we were a bit late for our reservation, we ended up having to wait another 30-40 mins. The place (2nd floor) is small & awkward. We were all cramped waiting on the stairway and the actual seating area is also fairly small for a busy KBBQ place/big parties. The 8 of us squeezed into a booth with 2 chairs on the side. You can also feel whenever the table next to us got up and stomped/yelled/moved in their chairs-- which was really often. The basic AYCE menu is fairly limited-- esp for the side options. The marinated meats were pretty good as was the tteokbokki. Side & meat portions were alright, but the kicker is having to flag down staff to make sure they put in the order & bring it out. We asked for japchae about 5 times before it actually reached our table towards the end of our meal. The server/manager also told us that he had accidentally brought out 2 bottles of soju for us and that he'd COMP 1 bottle. We didnt notice that he had actually charged us for 2 and comped/subtracted a "third" one. So none were really comped at all. I just realized after we paid and that felt really sketchy. Idk if it's worth coming back here.

Ambiance - 5/5 Walking in I didn't have much expectation…read more But as I step foot into the place. I was fascinated but the wall art. The street art vibe with the cartoon style character. Super awesome. The kitchen is wide open. Everything was super clean and well put together. Service - 5/5 Great recommendations from the staff. The house slaw and banana pudding were clearly popular choices, and they definitely knew what they were doing when guiding the order. I told them it's my first time. These were what they recommended me. One of the staff actually gave a piece of brisket to try. Very nice of them to give a free sample before I order so I know what I'm expecting. Food - 4.5/5 Dish Ordered: Dino Rib, Brisket ( 1/2 lb), House Slaw, Banana Pudding 5/5 Dino Rib Wow. This was the highlight. The meat was unbelievably tender--every single part of it. Usually with ribs, especially the upper portions, you get some toughness or dryness depending on how it's smoked. Not here. This one was melt-in-your-mouth soft, juicy throughout, and you could practically pull it apart effortlessly. The seasoning was perfect--balanced, not too salty, not bland, just right. Every bite hit. 4/5 Brisket ( 1/2 lb) About two slices. Visually, it looked great--nice color, juicy, with a solid fatty portion. But after eating the Dino rib, it felt a bit underwhelming. Still good, just didn't hit as hard flavor-wise. Might be better appreciated on its own next time. 5/5 House Slaw This paired extremely well with the meat. Sweet, tangy, and refreshing. The hint of peanuts adds a nice nutty layer that makes it stand out. It cuts through the richness of the meat perfectly. 5/5 Banana Pudding Not your typical pudding--it's more like a banana cake. The sweetness not too overwhelming, smells amazing, and just hits the spot. A great way to finish the meal. Additional Comments The Dino rib alone makes this place worth it. It sets a very high bar, which honestly makes everything else feel secondary. The best Rib I have ever had in my life so far. Important thing to note is that the rib will be weighed. I don't think you can ask to get the portion you want like you can with the brisket. My Dino rib came out to be 1.6lb. The sides and dessert complement the meal really well and round out the experience. Price is bit is definitely in the higher end but the experience is definitely worth it.

Son wanted to try so we are here…read more The line was long, the selection limited but the taste was good. There were many big orders, likely for parties. A $300 order can fit nicely into a regular paper grocery bag with room to spare, so make sure your wallet is mentally prepared so it does not go into shock. We had a sandwich. A pound of brisket and some baby back. My advice... unless you really want to suck the gravy off the bones or want to bring gift to your canine friend, don't get anything with bones as everything is by weight and I don't know about you, I can't chew on the bones. After close to $80, I had some meat off the rib and a piece of brisket, and craving some instant noodles ... The place is very transactional and noisy. But that is how it should be with a busy place where majority of orders are to-go.
