The plain salted fries are also outstanding, especially since they're cooked in tallow instead of seed oils. The fry sauce is genuinely one of the best I've had.

It's clear he takes pride in his work and goes the extra mile, which is rare. He deserves recognition for that and a raise!

I came to visit this place after having lunch next door, and decided to buy a couple of bottles of…read morebarbecue spices and a half rack of ribs to go. One of the ladies at the counter was kind enough to explain subtle taste differences between the spice bottles, there are actual dry rub spices and there are bottles of barbecue sauce in different sublime flavors. There is a very long front counter at the meat/deli with different side dishes which traditionally accompany the barbecued meats, such as a counter with cooked meats to order to eat, a counter of deli meats and cheeses, plus a counter of raw meats to purchase to take meat home in order to do your own barbecuing or baking at home. Various shoppers were buying food to eat there, the place has several small tables along the interior walls to sit down and eat, other people bought meat to go, either the already barbecued meat, or raw meat or deli meat to go. I tried out the tequila lime half rack of ribs, which I brought home for dinner. It was tasty, nicely barbecued and seasoned, and does go perfectly with whatever sides you choose to buy. There are plenty of choices if you feel like buying barbecue or deli, especially when you don't feel like prepping the grill outside for your barbecued meals. This is also a place you can cater for a large party, there's a catering menu where you can pre-order your meats, whatever you'd want to serve when you're planning to entertain your guests or tail gate. I would come here again if I'm in the area, having barbecue without cooking is a very good choice, especially if you're too lazy to fire up the barbecue pit at home. There is plenty of parking at the lot available locate in the front of the store. Do try Kinder's if you're wanting to take a break from driving the long 680 freeway in the SF East Bay, it's a little off the beaten track for just a few miles, but if you live in the East Bay, it's a drive completely worth it in order to avoid cooking barbecue yourself!

Avoid the tri-tip bowl. It was not good in any way, shape, or form. It tasted like a chef's…read moreexperiment... but the chef was a 4-year-old child throwing random flavors together that had no business being in the same bowl. It was terrible. The ribs were decent--I'd give them a solid B-. I'd order those again (but I wouldn't actually come back). The chicken was surprisingly good too, especially for the price (I'd maybe do the chicken if I was in the area and hungry). The biggest disappointment was the takeout. We actually wanted to eat at the restaurant but the service was a disaster. We awkwardly stood there for about 10 minutes before we could order. And it was until we said we would just leave since you guys obviously can't attend to the three tables in your restaurant. It was very poorly executed and left a lot to be desired. Kinders is a prime example of why I usually avoid chain and brand-name BBQ restaurants. They often rely on the name more than the food, and unfortunately this visit lived up to that stereotype. Ultimately food was below average, over priced service was weak, and the ambiance was vanilla. Save your money it is not worth it

I The food was good and tasty, however the wait staff they had serving the food was ABSOLUTELY RUDE. It was an older lady and a younger man serving the meats and they were unprofessional, and dismissive to each and every person including the children they were serving. Given this was a memorial service reception, their lack of empathy and professionalism really put a damper on the entire reception. I think you guys can do better and hire better waitstaff.

Their menu had several selections available to address various types of appetites. Their prices were acceptable and, as I would soon discover, would be well worth my choice choosing their truck over the others that were present. I admit that my food preferences sway toward BBQ. Their potato salad and beans were wonderful and customized. The beef sandwich, however, was the best I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. This is a phrase I do not state easily. Their BBQ was far more than simply combining meat with a BBQ on a bun for profit. It was as though they were able to extract the care and love a smoker were to possess and combine it into their food. I have never experienced such a well created meal. Chilly Willy's Smokehouse BBQ is the pentacle of BBQ. I cannot imagine any other establishments reaching their level of excellence.

That said, I think this specific L&L is the best one in east county, at least. Not exactly the highest bar but look at this chicken katsu curry I got the other week. I thought it was fantastic value for what I paid and easily could be two meals if I wasn't such a fatass, which I am so I ate it all in one sitting. The L&L in Antioch where I live is atrocious in comparison with their portions and food quality. The only thing that I could probably whine about is that parking here kinda sucks unless you're a better driver than I am or you park at the large parking lot by Goodwill about a block or so away and walk on over.
