    My dad has high standards for food. He thought this place was unbelievable. I'd agree…read more Very fair pricing here at BBQ 152. Large portions, a self-serve BBQ sauce station, and plenty of beers and NA options to choose from make for a great visit. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Awesome patio space, great for groups. The brisket and tri-tip were the shining stars here. Tender, juicy, and meaty. Good cuts of meat, and it's clear they put time into their processes. Really enjoyed both of their BBQ sauces, and the baked potato was also very well done. Pretty good service. Order at the counter, and they bring it out to you. Bus your own table; I'm sure it helps keep prices down. My dad said he wanted to come back here every day of our vacation. Certainly worth checking out!

Fair portion, not a belly buster. Good flavors on the meat. The beans are seasoned with chili powder. I asked the cashier if the cornbread was made in-house, "Ah, I dont think so". The garlic bread was good though. Order at the counter, take a seat, they call your name. Good, jaming blues on the speakers. Start to finish 45 minutes. Not packed but people were constantly tricked in. The tri-tip cuts are thick so you have to saw through those. Brisket was fall apart tender. Mac n cheese was fine, but not gooey. The mint at the end is a nice touch. Oh, good beer selection!

He let us know where we could find the menu up close, as opposed to the giant one listed above us. My partner and I decided to go with the Cowboy Pizza and the Pesto Pasta. BOTH OF THESE FOOD ITEMS WERE SPLENDED!! Compliments to the chef, seriously. We really wanted to pair our food with lemonade, but they did have any like they listed on the menu. We ended up going with two ciders from "2 TOWNS CIDERHOUSE." My cider was POG Cosmic Crisp but unfortunately it was a little flat and not as enjoyable. My partner got the Mango Cosmic Crisp and he enjoyed his better. I wish they had lemonade, or I wish I would've just stuck to a water cup or a different type of beverage. They have a lot of options for 21+ but they also have a Stubborn Soda Machine with 8 different flavors. There is plenty of seating indoors as well as outdoors! The inside is decorated with lights, plants, and a majority of the seats are a nice brown leather. Overall, it was wonderful. "Better than Round Table." - Isaac Cain Alvarez (his fav place lol) I told him we have a new spot to celebrate his birthday!

    Cruising north back home from Monterey, and saw this on maps when looking for food. When we pulled…read morein, I didn't see a restaurant. It's just a gravel parking lot and little store with random fresh goodies. I was confused for a sec, but then i saw a big smoker and bbq on the side of the store, with a big sign and realized you had to go inside the store to order. This was one of the best decisions of my life! The ribs were insanely good! Everything was good! I got every kind of meat! If you're reading this and debating stopping by.... If they are open and mikes' on the smoker, GO!!! Go in the store, order, and you'll be glad you did! I sat on the patio table and felt bad for every person driving by not stopping to try this hidden gem bbq! Mike nailed it!! And his 3 special bbq sauces! I WILL BE BACK! The store has cool stuff too. Garlic and nuts and random fun goodies. (I snagged some spicy walnuts and sweet glazed pecans)

They Offered to…read moresub and then tried to up sell me on more stuff I didn't want to make up the difference instead of just refunding me the difference. Avoid if you have anywhere to be and if you actually want to eat what you ordered. This place has single-handedly made me decide to avoid local food choices on road trips. Oh, and the bbq was mid.

I don't think I could ever come here and not order it!! Pop's has such cool, relaxing vibe to it. It feels like home even though I live far away from Gilroy. Whether you're hungry and/or thirsty and you're in town, get off the 101 and come here. You will not be disappointed!

There is also a pool table and few arcade games! The menu is extensive with plenty of traditional bar food options and some Irish staples. Everything sounded delicious, but I opted for the Pop"s Pub burger. I figured that would be a good starting point to get a feel of how good the food is. The burger was good, but not $21.00 good. The fries were tasty ,and I really enjoyed the side salad that came with it. The burger itself came with lettuce , tomato and a house sauce (thousand island blend). The burger was cooked perfectly , and tasted pretty good. However, when you add a $10.00 IPA to the equation and throw in a tip- I was out $41.00. I didn't like my meal enough to spend that kind of money. For a burger to be this pricey, I needed more. This place seems like a cool place to chill ,watch a game, and enjoy a cold beer. I may just do that next time and skip the meal. The service was poor. Once my food was dropped off , I never heard from the lady again to check on me until she dropped off the check.

    Pineapple Village, 769, 1st Street,…read moreGilroy, CA95020. Southeast Asian cuisine. The interior of the restaurant was modern looking and had a nice ambiance. The restaurant was fairly busy. The server was friendly. However, service was a little slow as they seemed to be under-staffed as there was only 1 server present the whole time that we were there. The food was decent but unmemorable. Although it was supposed to be a South East Asian cuisine, it didn't taste like it. ~ Hot & Sour Soup ~ Sizzling Beef Mignon ~ Belacan Mixed Vegetable

    Although I had an intense headache towards the end of the dinner, the food was good. My favorite…read moredish was the spicy garlic eggplant. I like how the vegetables were soft but not mushy and over cooked or drenched in oil. Last night I almost ordered the tamarind baby back ribs. Since I am staying away from pork, I went with the waitress's recommendation of sizzling beef with red bell pepper. Excellent! We came here for the pad thai and it was so ordinary. I should not trust a person who doesn't like seafood. How am I going to share a meal with someone that doesn't eat fish? My whole protein diet is based on fish and red meat. You come here to drink Thai Tea with extra cream not a shot of whiskey for $6.00. It was a good business meeting but I am going to have to come back here with someone who really enjoys food. This is the second time I have gone to eat with someone who kind of ruined the experience of a new restaurant for me. It is not their fault. I had a headache and now I have a low tolerance for people who are not on the same vibe as me.
