The BBQ I measure all others by

by denebquarlo

I have been going to this BBQ for years! With all of the others available in the East Bay, it has been the only one return too. Now that I am living over 100 miles away in Placer County there are two things I notice.

1. When I mention KC BBQ to the owners of the local BBQ shops, (NOT the national chains) they hold KC BBQ in reverence. One owner went as far as to say that KC BBQ is the best on the west coast.

2. If I am visiting Berkeley my family demands that I bring 4 or 5 orders home.

The links and the short end ribs are my favorite. Order them as a 2-Way!

• Pros: Wide tables and happy service
• Cons: My wife loves the potato salad, but me not so much

Best Links in the county....

by donberry

This resturant (rib joint) is very unique. The setting is antique photos, radios, stoves, and furniture. The recipe for the links is handed down through the family and is made from fresh meat versus, what I call, the standard "Hot Dog" link you get at the other places. I've been eating at this place for over 30 years and I still love it.

Occasionally, you get some links that have been smoked too long and are a little dry but they are still the best. I've eaten at most of the rib places in Berkeley, Oakland & Richmond and I rank this one as the best. Their ribs are smoked and along with their chicken are moist and delicious.

• Pros: Great links & ribs
• Cons: Parking is limited

I lived in Kansas City and this in not good Barbeque!

by jack_n_marin

This is not good barbeque. The sides were horrible and the atmosphere was depressing. There is much better barbeque up the road in Emeryville. I would never go back. I was hoping this place would be like the delicious barbeque I use to enjoy when I lived in KCMO.

• Pros: N/A
• Cons: Everything about the place
