She handled us flawlessly and never missed a beat. The wings are so good and they said the fried picked were delicious. I had the watermelon strawberry lemonade (Double) and it was so refreshing and it definitely hit the mark. For food, I was so indecisive because i did not want anything too heavy. I wound up getting the sliders (2 brisket and 1 tri tip) and a side salad. They were so yummy to my tummy. The flavor was great and I added the honey BBQ (All BBQ sauces are on the table already). That set it off just right. They're prices are moderate. I mean it is BBQ. Also, my food came out hot. Unfortunately, I have to take a star off because one of my Soror's food had to be reheated and she was not very happy about that. However...I am to going to go back and try it again.

The combo came with 2 sides and we chose mac and cheese and waffle fries with house rub. We started with the cauliflower bites, sticky flavor with comeback sauce. All the meats had good flavor. The pork had a slight sourness that was nice. Most of it was drier than I'd like though. Only the pork belly was actually flavorful, juicy, and tender. Mac and cheese and fries were both fine but won't be writing home about this. Cauliflower was pretty good, could be crunchier with more breading. The table had 4 different BBQ sauces. I really liked the tin roof non spicy. It was nice to have that many options. The staff were nice but maybe a little too attentive. They cleared our water cups before we were ready to go.

These were tough and didn't have much meat on them. Also, I expected this to have BBQ sauce on them, but they didn't, and we had to ask for BBQ sauce so they wouldn't be so dry. For our sides, we got the garlic mashed potatoes (passable) and the corn bread which was not great, and the free biscuits were much much better. Overall, very meh experience and I don't think I'll be coming back.

First time back since the remodel and have to say I was impressed!…read more Definitely missed their pretty outdoor patio which is currently not available but the interior has a beautiful new look and was perfect for lunch. They have also revamped the menu and though some old favorites are missing - we enjoyed what we tried - namely the grilled artichokes which are a slightly different recipe to what was previously on their menu but absolutely delicious with that same wood-fired taste and accompanied by two dipping sauces that was fantastic. Also had the artichoke dip which was also really good with lots of chunks of artichoke! The only thing that was unnecessary was the sour cream - unless the intent was to mix into the dip and salsa which did not really go - the dip itself was fine and stood out on its own. Service was okay; they appeared short staffed as we had a significant wait to get the check, but food and atmosphere were great!

The staff work well together to make a very enjoyable experience. Food ummmm... not as good as previous years. Not bad, just very limited. There are 3 or 4xs of drinks over the food menu. While nothing was bad, it definitely wasn't exciting. Artichoke & spinach dip was very good, but served with chips, sour cream & salsa....was just very odd. Corn croquettes were also tasty, 5 little balls with a plate full of roasted chillies... again...a bit odd. Burger.. something different next time. Salad... this was the prettiest item ordered. All in all... they need to work on the menu. Dinner was highly disappointing on the food front. It looks like would be a wonderful place to come for drinks.

I think they're 3.4 Stars…read more But they have a lot going for them, so I am writing a detailed review. * A Five Star rating would have been for such a great 'Two For One Deal' on Instacart and the quality/taste/presentation/value in general. * With the great deal I got 5 items for $39.93, before tip. The prices are the total Instacart prices, including the extras. * GOOD: It was pretty tasty, and they did a lot of things right. * BAD: Red Onion skins on both hamburgers as well as the salads. Didn't peel the Red Onions enough before they sliced them. That's pretty bad. Rookie. I would have rounded up to four stars if it weren't for that! * The $18.50 Buckhorn Burgers were generally good: + Extra Burger Patty ($3.00), + Bacon ($1.50), + Caramelized Onions ($0.50), + Red Onion ($0.25), + Roadhouse Onions ($0.50), + Tomatoes ($0.25), + Swiss ($0.50) The burger portions were very generous - in retrospect the Extra Patty was not needed, and the buns were very good. I enjoyed the Roadhouse Onions. BUT: you could taste grease on the patties! BAD! They weren't rare, but I understand that it's tough to do in food delivery. And no ketchup/mustard/mayo options on a delivery order. That's un-American. They needed more pickle presence on the hamburger. An extra pickles option would have been nice. * I enjoyed the $15.25 Roadhouse Salad: mixed greens, string beans, tomatoes, sweet walnuts, Roadhouse Onions, bleu cheese crumbles + Side Honey Lime Dressing ($0.50), + Red Onion ($0.25), + Tomatoes ($0.25) and the Honey Lime Dressing immensely. EXCEPT for the Red Onion skins! I really liked the addition of string beans, would have even been better if they had been pickled. Never underestimate pickles (acid) when eating grilled meat! Extra credit for being able to substitute Honey Lime Dressing for the Honey Basil Vinaigrette. * The litmus test, because I'm a certified Kansas City barbecue judge, was the $12.50 Burnt Ends + Roadhouse onions, Au jus. If you're going to do them you have to do them right, and your entire brisket for that matter. Except firstly THESE WEREN'T BRISKET, they were tri-tip!!! BAD. So they were a shortcut to begin with. Just so people are fully aware, the menu item name would be better stated Tri-tip Burnt Ends. They must be fully fork-tender, *connective tissue broken down*, and the fat properly rendered. Burnt ends must have: * A tender, yielding interior--not chewy * Deep-brown, developed bark on multiple surfaces * Caramelized edges without acrid, carbonized, or genuinely burnt flavor. These were tasty and so I would score them highly on taste, but they failed principally on tenderness and bark. development.

Had the chance to check out Fikscue before my departure from the Bay. Fikscue combines Texas-style…read morebarbecue with Indonesian flavors, with a fully halal meat menu. I ordered the Iga Saos Kacang ($30) and the 3-pc. lumpia ($12). The Iga Saos Kacang came with two ribs served on a banana leaf with sweet rice, pickled vegetables, and bumbu kacang (peanut sauce). I also ordered the soda gembira ($4). The food and drink came out at the same time, at about 5 minutes. The ribs were phenomenal. They were tender, smoky, and paired incredibly well with the peanut sauce. The sauce itself had a really nice sweetness to it, complementing the richness of the beef without overpowering it. One fascinating discovery I've made about Indonesian food is just how prominent sweetness can be. Rather than treating a sweet component like the coconut rice as something to eat on its own, you're often meant to combine everything together, creating a flavor bomb with every bite. That's what makes Fikscue's concept so interesting to me. Texas-style barbecue is already heavily focused on smoke, seasoning, and the quality of the meat, while Indonesian flavors can bring in sweetness, nuttiness, spice, and acidity. The Iga Saos Kacang showed how naturally those two styles can work together. The lumpias were nicely fried and surprisingly filling on their own! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who explained that the lumpias were a popular addition, with some customers ordering them by the dozens. They're filled with meat and vegetables and have a big, satisfying crunch. Just watch out for the oil! Coming from my own Vietnamese perspective, the soda gembira reminded me of Vietnamese soda sữa, minus the egg. Pandan and coconut flavors are familiar to me, but if you've never had pandan and coconut together, it's a wonderfully fragrant combination that's simultaneously creamy, sweet, and refreshing. The soda gembira was a particularly fun drink to have alongside the smoky, savory barbecue. Service was excellent as well. The staff were really nice and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Before it was my turn to order, I saw the staff engaging in Indonesian banter with the customers in front of me. It gave the restaurant a very warm, lived-in feeling that emulated the hospitality found in Indonesian culture. Fikscue is doing something genuinely unique by bringing together halal Texas-style barbecue and Indonesian cuisine. Add in the friendly service, and the long drive from the South Bay felt justified. If you're anywhere in the Bay Area and want to try something unique, Fikscue is worth the trip.

Their menu had several selections available to address various types of appetites. Their prices were acceptable and, as I would soon discover, would be well worth my choice choosing their truck over the others that were present. I admit that my food preferences sway toward BBQ. Their potato salad and beans were wonderful and customized. The beef sandwich, however, was the best I have ever had the pleasure of consuming. This is a phrase I do not state easily. Their BBQ was far more than simply combining meat with a BBQ on a bun for profit. It was as though they were able to extract the care and love a smoker were to possess and combine it into their food.
