EVERETT & JONES BBQ REVIEWS

Some of the best Southern Style BBQ in the Bay Area! And that’s coming from someone who lived in Nashville for almost 20 years! The ribs were tender and flavorful. Mac n cheese was excellent. Their Sassy Sistah beer compliments the food perfectly.

I was served great food, and the atmosphere was wonderful. Treat yourself to a nice meal and enjoy yourself no matter the price. That in itself and the setting there mesh together quite well. I enjoy it.

I’ve been getting their Mac & cheese with yams! It’s been sooooo gooooddd.

SMOKIN WOODS BBQ REVIEWS

I'll give them a 5. I'm biased as it's my family but the ambiance, TVs, outdoor seating and warm service from the staff only supported my rating. Love their BBQ ribs...Mac and Cheese...well everything. Everything was delicious. The sweet heat sauce. OMG! I wanted to buy a few bottles to take home. If visiting the Bay Area you have to visit.

I don't really know where to start! The brisket was so freaking delicious and the pulled pork was in a totally different level and then the beans and the mac n cheese made my night I'm definitely coming back and also I'm taking something to go while I'm here.

Delicious Southern cuisine. The ribs were tender and melting in the mouth. We loved the vibrant space getting ready for the Superbowl. The staff was friendly and attentive even with being crowded. Our favorite was the side beans and mac & cheese.

WORLD CHAMPION SMOKEHOUSE & MARKET REVIEWS

Awesome take out smokehouse disguised as a bodega. If you're looking for some awesome take out BBQ just to the east of 880 from San Leandro go to the World Championship Smokehouse. If you need some groceries and some awesome barbecue this place is even better because it has a little store attached. Service is really fast, the folks taking your order are bilingual, the parking lot is huge, and the food is delicious.

This place is my favorite, it’s a hidden gem. Quality food and genorous portions. My favorites are the links and fried fish. But everything is very tasty along with the BBQ sauce.

Food is great and customer service is unbeatable. Definitely will return.
