Well, that's one experience vs me going there since 1998 or so. Last time I went it was amazing. Some people don't like the atmosphere but they probably shouldn't be there anyway. Never heard anyone complain about the food.

Beau's BBQ lafayette. Amazing but insanely expensive for ribs

Everett and J, baller......they have a lot of locations, cheaper but still about 12 bucks w a drink. I go to the one on san pablo.

KC bbq off san pablo like 5 blocks before E AND J. Sweeter sauce than e&j, super good price @about 8-9 a plate.

Best BBQ i ever done had- WOMACKS or WOMAX's in south lake tahoe.

I live right next to the Gorilla grill and hadn't tried it till today and DAMN..!!! That's gotta be some of the best ribs and chicken ever. Thanks for the recommendation.

They smoke those ribs for 12 hours and you can taste it

They have a few picnic tables, otherwise it's all take-out.
