My family and I went into Buford's for lunch and couldn't have been happier with the quality of the…read moremeats! The service was great, we went around 2pm, so there were only a couple other diners and folks getting take away, but the food came out quick and hot. The restaurant was clean and well maintained. We had the brisket, ribs, hot links (not pictured), catfish, and shrimp for mains. For sides we had the slaw, mac & cheese, fried okra, green beans, and hush puppies (also left those out). We grabbed some desserts to go, but they were delicious as well. Green beans still had a snap to them, so they did a quick simmer and weren't completely sogged out. I would have preferred a touch more salt, but they were great when you snagged a bit of bacon in the bite! Okra was good, a bit over cooked, but I would order again tomorrow. Cole slaw was great! It had bits of apple that added a touch of sweetness in a well balanced, creamy sauce. Mac and cheese was perfect! Tried my kid's hushpuppies and they were amazing dipped in the bbq garnish on the plate! Brisket was hands down the best brisket I've ever had, falling apart and absolutely mouth watering. The ribs were tender while still having bite to them. Again, well balanced and sauce was lite enough that it complimented the meat. Shrimp and catfish breading was the perfect blend of crispy and crumbly, while being perfectly spiced! We can't wait to go back and visit again, felt like we made friends and definitely found a new BBQ mainstay! Only thing I can't speak to personally are the hot links, but my kid said they were great, guess I'll find out on the next trip!

Needless to say, Dad's hit the levels of ALL AROUND DELICIOUS~NESS ! From the moment I walked through the door.... INSTANT AEROMATIC BBQ LOVE slapped me ever so delicately as I floated to the counter to order. My side eye caught the HomeMade Banana Pudding, Peach Cobbler and Sweet Potato Pies! My focus was tested yet I managed to regain my thoughts and place our orders. One thing for certain, the meats were all juicy and tender! That MAC SLAPPED and the other sides DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I can't wait to go back and get another dose and try the Potato Salad, Moms Gumbo and the Desserts. They also make thier own Sweet Tea and Kool Aid. Dad's BBQ has been in business for 26years and was awarded the Key to the City in 2024. Take my advise and don't skip on this spot in Antioch

It was our first time trying Kinder's. We had heard about it and had seen their BBQ sauces in…read moredifferent places, so when we found ourselves hungry and near the Lone Tree location we decided to give them a try. They gave us a five star experience. The food is great, and there's a good selection of deli items, ribs, and sandwiches to choose from. The customer service was excellent, they were knowledgeable and operated with personable delivery. When one of our burgers was not cooked to our liking they graciously cooked another one to our liking, no questions asked. You really get the sense that they stand firmly by their standards and have no qualms whatsoever about making things right. They keep the place clean, it's well lit and airy, and there's plenty of room to sit down and enjoy yourself. It's simply scrumptious and reliable. Check it out.

This review is strictly towards their breakfast sandwich. I came weeks ago and was craving a…read morebreakfast sandwich, so I stopped in. Let me tell you, it was super salty. From the bacon to the scrambled eggs, each bite was like a cringe to my face from the saltiness. Not sure if this is how it's supposed to be OR if it's just the employee that made it, either way, I needed a tall bottle of water. This sandwich could be better without all that loaded sodium. I would definitely come back again for another try because I respect Kinder's too much. They'll get it the next time ;)

I'm very impressed with their authentic chinese bbq. I got the Roast Duck, Haianese Chicken, and…read moreCrispy Pork Belly. This is definitely on par with Oakland & SF Chinatown. Reasonably price. Honestly, the pork belly is the star and could be the best I've had in a long time considering I still live and grew up in Oakland. At other chinese bbq spots the skin to me is usually very crunchy and chewy. But Roast Eatery pork belly skin is so light and crispy, that after a few bites the tender meat and fat slowly melts in your mouth making it very enjoyable. The sweet sauce with the pork belly is new to me. it's interesting but i prefer eating it with the ginger scallion because it helps cut the richness from the pork belly. The Haianese Chicken is exceptional. Cooked perfectly to tendernism. Anyone new to chinese bbq and wondering why the chopped chicken bone is still red or pink, that's called myoglobin so don't worry it's already cooked and means that it's perfectly gently poached. Of course, always take caution, ask questions and do a little research. If you're afraid, just eat around it, but this will probably be the best and healthiest way to eat chicken if you're on a diet. Roast Duck was flavorful, tender and nicely roasted. Definitely your go to local spot if you're in the East County (Oakley, Brentwood, or Antioch). It's also on par with local favorite spots in Oakland Chinatown like Gold Medal. Service is very straight forward and quick to order. The staff are friendly. Got our order in less than 10 minutes. Overall, I will be coming here more frequently for my chinese bbq fix and quick healthy lunch. They also own the dim sum bakery next door and it's definitely a hit too!

Had a rare craving for Chinese food and ordered a Hainan chicken rice plate…read more The rice plate for $14 is a quarter chicken with a healthy portion of white rice, and a mound of boiled cabbage. It's the priced the same as the $14 "half" chicken, so by far the half chicken is the better value. The chicken itself was moist. It's the traditional Chinese yellow chicken, so there was not a lot of meat on it. Love ginger scallion sauce and I asked for extra, which I got. The shredded, boiled cabbage on the side was a nice thought to round out the meal. Too bad I don't like cooked cabbage... The rice in the rice plate was plain white rice and didn't seem all that fresh as parts of it were hard and clumpy. I wish there was chicken rice that went with the Hainan chicken, but I guess the rice plate here is just that...basic white rice that goes with any protein.

Comes with a generous amount of Mac salad, rice and sauce! Easy lunch/dinner option for sure. We've never had a bad meal here.

Buttery and super garlicky shrimp (butterflied with shell on) dumped on a bed of rice (soaking up all the good stuff) and Mac salad (I request on the side). A mini portion is enough for me for a quick lunch usually features 5/6 shrimp.

Food: The hot tri-tip sandwich was unfortunately ice cold, lacked flavor, and was overcooked. I had to use a lot of barbecue sauce just to make it enjoyable. I've had this sandwich before and it was delicious, so I'm not sure what happened today. 2/10 The hot pastrami sandwich, on the other hand, was flavorful and one of the best sandwiches my wife says she's ever had. 10/10 We didn't order any sides this time, but we'll definitely try them on our next visit. Drinks: We ordered two waters and one Gatorade. Service: Service was quick and efficient. The team at the counter was very friendly and helpful. I also liked the old school touch of filling out a sandwich order form. Prices are very reasonable and fair. Even though my sandwich wasn't the best on this visit, we'll definitely be back to try the sides and other items on the menu.

Please please train your servers better. 1. Bring the…read moredrinks right after they are made. 2. Don't make the customer ask for silverware. 3. Bring the appetizers out right away. Our calamari sat for a while as it was cold. It also didn't help that the server walked right by our table with the calamari in her hand, all the way to the other end of the restaurant and then back and put it on our table. Made zero sense. 4. Most importantly, if they can't remember every detail of an order by trying to memorize it, have them write it down!! Period. This is a skill not everyone possesses. We will definitely be back as the food was pretty good. But I hate spending $120 for dinner in basically a sports bar, get mediocre Service and they expect a 20% tip. (Which I still gave) This was just a few of the things we dealt with. It wasn't really crowded so do like other restaurants. Make sure the item is tagged for the right table and anybody can bring it out. It doesn't have to be the server as I know they're attending to other tables.

This is a small spot in Antioch area. I've seen the place but never have thought to stop in and now…read morewe have. I think it's a family owned business. Anyway, so as you walk in you can order thru the kiosk or at the register. So we decided to eat in. Just forewarning there's not a lot of tables inside. I've noticed people come in to pick up orders when we were there. But I felt like we brought in customers because there was no one in there but as we sat down people were in and out. Haha. I wish I had those powers. Anyways, I love how while you wait for your food they have board games on the table, so you're not anxiously or impatiently waiting (insert smile). So when our food finally came it smelled so good. The portions are huge I'd say it's enough for two. My friend ordered the vegetarian Rasta pasta and I had the garlic noodles and Asian sticky prawns. The food was nice and hot. Not warm hot! Oh my gosh! It was scrumptious! I need to come back and taste other items on the menu. FYI, the price is not bad for a plate, $15-20 a plate depending on what you order. I ordered one of their tropical drinks, the mango flavored one. I have to be honest they need to work on that one because it just tasted really sweet and I couldn't taste the mango. It was good but the fruit flavor isn't there. Overall experience was great. I'm definitely coming back!!!
