What People Are Saying About Everett & Jones Barbeque

In Short – Whether it's a visit to one of the takeout joints or the hoppin' Jack London Square location, diners are sure to get messy. Sweet and smoky sauce covers the dishes and patrons alike. Vegetarians should kindly walk on by, as even the side dishes of baked beans and greens come loaded with meat or drippings. Diners take their pick of ribs, sausage links, chicken or beef brisket, or a combination of two, three or all four.

DO NOT EAT HERE! EVER!
by Michael Jacobson
Tough Brisket, A sin in it self, this place produces truly inedible food and this is hard to do. Tough Brisket, Sour and mushy potato salad, A sauce that resembles hot red motor oil paste. Some of the rudest and most unprofessional service in the HISTORY of food service. Do your self a favour and do not eat here ever.
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: Everything

E&J BBQ... take it or leave it
by hungrygirl1
It's a shame the management of this place doesn't do something about their staff - wait and kitchen. If they had consistently good food (I personally don't find the portions large except for the platters, cause you have to buy things individually) and better trained staff, trained to be more efficient and courteous - the place would be looking to expand instead of being half empty. It was doing quite well 8 yrs ago when I first started eating here. I'd go for the great lounge in the back - some amazing performers are to be found at Q's, and it's a comfortable setting too. I eat when there just 'cause the smell of BBQ gets to me every time.
- Pros: good sauce and desserts
- Cons: never consistent, and poor service

Lacks Service, OK food.....
by foodie_grl
People raved about this bbq joint and I have no idea why! Service is awful, takes forever to get acknowledged and seated, the waitress seem like she would rather be anywhere but there and the food is semi-warm when you finally get your food. The bbq itself is OK....rather eat bbq we cue up at home than this place. The sides, i.e. corn bread, beans, potato salad, etc....is OK....I would say Whole Foods or Safeway deli sides are better than theirs! Overall, not worth it. We tried it once for the sake of all the raves and the raves were definatley over rated!
- Pros: casual
- Cons: lacks service and food is just ok and parking is limited
