There are only two spots (both in Berkeley) where my husband will go for BBQ chicken and KCs is one of them. Located in the heart of Berkeley, KCs does Kansas City-style barbecue proud! The sauce is a little sweeter than most West Coast barbecuers, but the food is flavorful and well-cooked. We like that they don't cook the meat items with the poultry items since we don't want our chicken tainted by pork or beef! Our children like the potato salad. You have to actually request wheat bread of you'll end up with white bread. One year they even held a fried turkey special for Thanksgiving! Make sure you have them repeat your order back to you so there's no mistakes. The prices are comparable to other barbecue places. Grab lots of napkins and hand wipes!

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!

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.
