Everett & Jones BBQ really got me fighting demons trying not to order a second rack The pork ribs??? Absolutely finger-licking, life-changing, "silent after first bite" type food. Meat falling off the bone like it's tryna escape responsibility. BBQ sauce had me contemplating my entire existence fr. And the workers? Straight vibes. Everybody was hella welcoming, funny, and treated us like family instead of customers. You can tell the spot got soul. If you leave hungry that's honestly a skill issue. I'm still thinking about those ribs like an ex I never got over. Highly recommend with my utmost respectful regards. read more

Everett & Jones BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

1 STAR $76 DOWN THE DRAIN! I'm extremely disappointed with both the food and the service. I ordered my food to go and specifically asked for tri-tip and chicken with MILD sauce on the side. After driving 50 miles home, I opened my order and found tri-tip and sausage instead of chicken, with HOT sauce. The hot sauce was so spicy it burned my grandbaby's mouth. I also ordered SIX pieces of cornbread, and every single one was BURNT. Completely unacceptable. Because I live 50 miles away, I couldn't just turn around and drive another 100 miles round trip to return the food or have them correct their mistakes. I basically threw $76 down the drain because the food was nasty and we couldn't even enjoy the cornbread. To make matters worse, the customer service wasn't welcoming at all. No smiles, no attention to detail, and clearly no one was listening when I placed my order. For $76, I expected my order to at least be correct and edible. Wrong meat, wrong sauce, six burnt cornbreads, poor service, and nasty food. I will NOT be back and definitely would not recommend this place. read more

Some time ago I drove from San Jose to Hayward to the original Everett & Jones. You know, the hole in the wall where the workers were behind bullet proof glass. It was delicious! Today I left my deposit at Graton Casino and was starving. Everett was the only food station that did not have a line and I was feeling BBQ. Well, it wasn't so good. The brisket sandwich was dry and we were served mild sauce. I asked for spicy and the older lady working said it would be an additional $4. No thank you. The beef link was also dry as dirt and the Mac n cheese had no flavor. What a disappointment. Heading home for my own BBQ. read more

Ate at Everett & Jones recently this being the 3rd time I tried it hoping it would live up to its reputation - no such luck! the mac and cheese was mushy and had no flavor and the brisket was dry, the service was lack luster and it was pricey. Which by the way i don't mind paying a good price for tender juicy fatty brisket - theirs had none of these qualities. I get that this place is popular in Oakland but the location at the casino is horrible. (all three times) I dont know why Graton took out the previous BBQ it was excellent compared to this place. Will not be going back read more

Man listen this review is personal I'll be the first to admit! Everett & Jones is a landmark in the Bay! The links have always been ! But this location at the Casino is personal for me because I know the owner Shamar Cotton! We have a long history and to see my guy make this happen makes me super proud! I forgot he opened this up and to run into him by chance because I happened to be there for a dinner at one of the casinos other restaurants and then to hear him speak about the back story just let me know he's going to thrive! So take this review and know the food and service you're going to get when you show up; it's going to be his best! But so you know I had an order of ribs and they were awesome the hot bbq sauce is always on point, but unless you like burn ya butt hole sauce you might have to get the mild and hot mixed together! read more

This was terrible. Tiny little 28.00$ sandwhich that took 23 mins. Never again. No sides just a small sandwich nothing but a little meat and stale bread. read more

Brisket was dry and lacked flavor and as I was waiting I was watching the staff prepare the orders and you pay for 8oz of brisket and I watched them prepare 5 orders including mine and all were under 8oz! I had to politely tell the staff that I paid for 8oz and then they couldn't me until finally another staff member came along and told them to add another peace of meat to get me to 8oz Don't waste your money here the brisket is subpar not even close to being good read more

So far I'm very impressed with Everett and Jones BBQ! I come from Los Angeles and so far this place rocks the bay! They have 2 other locations as well that I would like to try. So far, the casino never fails with this place here! read more

Me and my wife had just visited the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa and decided to head over to Graton Casino to try out Everett & Jones. I have known about them for years through their Oakland restaurant and had never been, but heard good things. This Everett & Jones is located inside the casino's marketplace food court with other restaurants. There was a small line, but moved pretty fast. The food court was full of tables occupied by other diners (it was Sunday) but we were able to find a spot to sit. The food court was pretty loud, but that's expected. We had gotten the 4-meat combo which consisted of ribs, brisket, chicken and beef links; the combo comes with two sides and we got baked beans and mac n cheese. The baked beans had a nice, sweet, and smoky flavor to them. The mac n cheese was perfect... almost reminded me of my mom's. As for the meats, they all had great flavor. However, the brisket and ribs were a little tough to chew; and the chicken was a little dry. The hot BBQ sauce we got was a nice compliment to the meats tho. It was sweet and did pack a bit of heat which we love. If this site gave half stars rating increments, I would have given this place a 3.5. It was nice BBQ despite the meat being a little tough or dry. The flavors, however, were on point! Oh yeah... their sweet potato pie was amazing as well! read more

I grew up going to Everett & Jones in the bay and was excited to try out their casino location, unfortunately it did not impress. We were told we had to wait 20 mins for the chicken so we waited and the chicken was so dry it looked like it had just been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Not sure why we had to wait 20 mins. Seems like should've pulled that bill off the smoker hours before. The baked beans were literally crunchy, I was so sad. The ribs and brisket were pretty good and thank GOD their sauce is still delicious and helped out the dry chicken. read more

This just quite simply, is not very good food. I opted to try again, after having a poor experience my first time. I again ordered the brisket, and well .. I have a question. If you order brisket and you get cold, under-seasoned, flavorless meat with zero bark on and pice .. isn't that just leftover roast beef? Well, the sweet potato pie is good, leaving me to think that comes from a different company and Everett & Jones buys from them, for this version of a bbq joint does not produce good food at all. read more

We went to the casino and were hoping to have lunch. We saw this place had no line while every place else did. We should have picked up on that as a red flag. Store bought bread, over cooked beans, tough brisket. So disappointing. read more

Just earlier, decided to eat some Dinner Brisket, 3 loaves of bread, Beans, & mashed potato @ Everett & Jones BBq. Expensive for what you reallyBBQ. Just with iced water in a plastic cup, with a straw. OMG, that was the most awful iced water I've tasted in my life. It was terrible, taste so bad, it has an awful smell to it. Let this be a warning to everyone, when you get some food at Gratons Casino Food Court, just get those bottled drinks. It's either those Plastic cups are not being washed,or they never clean those Ice dispensers on a regular basis. It was really bad. This is the last time with Everett & Jones. Sorry but that is unacceptable. Not with peoples food & drinks. read more

This place should be ashamed they call themselves a BBQ establishment... simply put total disappointment and a rip off... with inflation & the rise of cost in almost everything- this place is definitely not delivering! $24 for brisket that was sooooo chewy & thinly sliced at that had zero flavor - like they just took a slab of brisket stuck it in the oven for a couple of hours & called it a day!if it wasn't for the overly sweet bbq sauce on the side; there would've been no saving this gross brisket!!!! Oh & $8 for a small a pittance of a serving they call green beans that has been drowning in no flavor water! Shame Shame Shame! This was my experience the first around I figured why not give it a second chance?!? BIG MISTAKE almost $40 for my share of the door dash bill & it's sitting at my work fridge to re do at home for tomorrow can't let it go to waste unfortunately... no lunch for me tonight I guess! read more

Everett & Jones BBQ is located at the Graton Casino food court. We arrived a few minutes before they opened for lunch on a Sunday. The employee taking our order was friendly: $33 for a 3-item combo plate of brisket, ribs, and link sausage with a side of mac & cheese, scoop of potato salad, and two slices of plain wheat bread. For the positives: the bbq sauce had a nice balance of tanginess and sweetness and the ribs were tender. For the not-so-positives, none of the meats had much flavor on their own and needed seasoning, the brisket was very dry, the link sausage had such a rough texture that we didn't finish it, the mac and cheese pasta was very soft and overcooked, the potato salad lacked flavor, and the bread didn't come with butter. While we liked the bbq sauce, all of the meat was doused in it .. as if to hide the poorly prepared/cooked meat. read more

Note: this is a food court location in the middle of a very busy casino. Even with the low rating here on Yelp, we decided to give it a chance and sadly, they lived up to their low rating and maybe deserve even less. What's sad is that they have a "captive" audience and so may never change their ways. The BBQ was mediocre at best. I had the 2 choice combo: brisket and chicken with sides green beans and potato salad. The best thing on my platter were the green beans. The potato salad had zero flavor (no seasoning- not even salt). The brisket was 3 paltry 4.5" slices of mostly fat. They are weighing brisket like its weight watchers. The chicken was dry and contained zero BBQ sauce (this is what happens when you weigh & measure but don't trust your staff enough to use their eyes). All that and... 2 slices of dry bread without butter for just under $45. We left feeling ripped off. I have zero problems with weighing food but at that price, I expect to be treated with respect and instead felt disrespected. read more

Dry, Dry, Dry BBQ at Everett & Jones located inside the Graton Casino Marketplace Food Court. They really need to taste their food from time to time on food quality. I'm sure when it's freshly cooked it's delicious, but sitting in the smoker waiting for customers to purchase over time, the food gets dry. Management needs to taste the food, then, to understand their customer's feedback and throw away overly dried meats. I ordered their 4-piece combo for $40. It included Beef Link, Chicken, Pork Ribs and Beef Slices with two sides and bread. I opted for the potato salad and baked beans. The meats all had strong smokey flavor which overpowered the food. It's been sitting in the smoker too long. The worst meat was the beef link... it had a weird texture and not a good taste. The chicken pieces were small with limited meat. The beef slices were super dry. The ribs were good. It was falling off the bones and a good amount of meat. Sides... the potato salad needed salt and pepper. It had too much relish juices. It made it sour tasting. The baked beans were okay. It needed something extra to kick up the flavor. read more

Horrible! I got the chicken, brisket and links which were super dry like it was cooked the day before. Like REALLY dry, you can tell just by looking at it dry. The links were bad. I spent $100 on food there and it definitely wasn't worth it. It was already overpriced with small portions. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND read more

I couldn't wait to get back here! The best bbq in the north bay hands down. The home made hot links are to die for. read more

Everett & Jones BBQ - 3 meat combo - Barbeque Near Me - Rohnert Park, California

I'm so glad that I didn't read the reviews before deciding to eat here. I don't know where these 1 and 2 star review people ate at, but my experience was completely different. I found the ribs to be completely tender and tasty. Their sauce is so good it should be bottled and sold. Then I found out that it is, just not there. If they had some I definitely purchased some. I had the mild sauce and it was tangy and sweet without the over vinegary taste. Also had the potatoe salad which I also really liked. I did purchase the small meal, $10, for 3 ribs, potatoe salad, and wheat bread. My friend ordered the 2 plate combo and there was so much food she couldn't finish it, but she also loved the taste. I found the staff to be very welcoming and friendly. It was a husband and wife team and I found them to be very personable. I had quite a long conversation with them. I would definitely eat there again. read more

Legit good BBQ just like the good ole days of going to Oakland to get some delicious ribs, chicken, links, or brisket. Now, I don't have to cross a bridge & head over to Oakland or Berkeley when craving mouthwatering barbecue. They're finally in the North Bay! The ambiance here is totally different than the OG location, as it's located in the food court at Graton Casino in Rohnert Park (RP). Yup, from 510 to 707, Everett & Jones decided to open a BBQ joint in RP, where a diverse crowd from all over can congregate in the food court. Good BBQ brings people together. There's a huge line, so be patient. They just opened, took over the former Roadside BBQ joint, there are some things to work out. Maybe there will be an online ordering system soon. Remember when there was a Panda Express and Three Twins ice cream, now there's Habit Burger, Scoops, Boathouse, a Mexican restaurant, Cafe 88, and Starbucks of course. The Park family knows what they're doing with this place, perhaps some boba, dim sum, or buffet in the near future wink, wink. 'Til we MEAT again ~ cheers & see you on Yelp (SYOY)! read more

I came here on GRAND OPENING Day 7/1/22. I was looking forward to a new bbq spot in the area especially one that has been around for decades and finally expanded to the north bay. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. We arrived in the Graton food court to see a few people in line. A server is there with a menu on her phone (no menus?) as she takes your order by hand and hands it to the cashier. We ordered the dinner portions which are larger with an extra side. We got: Chicken and Brisket , sides: green beans and mac and Chicken and Ribs, sides: green beans and mac. Disappointed in how the food taste. Chicken was dry. Brisket didn't taste smoked at all. Ribs was all fat. Green beans tasted it was from a can. This was the strangest Mac & Cheese ever. It had a bitter aftertaste in your mouth. The bbq sauce was pretty good though. They should definitely capitalize on the sauce. But, it was not the bbq I was looking for unfortunately. Price tag was steep $60 for 2 meals from a food court...hmmm.. I hope they improve and if they do, I will be back. read more

I really wanted to like this place. I ordered a 4 way which comes with 4 meats and 2,sides for like $50. I had double brisket, links, chicken, and double Mac& cheese. Sorry but the meat was tasteless, Mac was just okay but they definitely were stingy with the portions. I paid too much money and was disappointed with everything. For those that really love bbq like me this didn't do it for me. read more

As a big fan of their SuperQ sauce I was really excited to eat their food. It was not good. I got the chicken dinner with spicy sauce. The chicken was so over cooked it was almost like jerky. The entire skin came off as one piece and felt like a piece of plastic. The Mac-n-cheese was totally bland. It seemed like they take butter noodles, toss some shredded cheese in and put it under a heat lamp with no seasoning. All you could taste was the butter. It was also way over cooked. The cheese was also crunchy and not in a good way. Like a layer of plastic on top. Their green beans are from a can. Mushy and way too salty. The baked beans were pretty good though. Spending $55.00 for this was probably the worst part. read more

So disappointed to have to give a negative review of this place. My husband adores the Everett & Jones BBQ sauce so we were so excited to hear that they'd opened a spot locally. This particular restaurant is part of the food court at the Graton casino. My husband and I both ordered the chicken dinner plate, he wanted spicy, I requested mild. He chose baked beans and mac & cheese for his sides (two sides come with the dinner plate), and I chose green beans and mac & cheese. We ordered at the counter; our total coming to about $55 for both plates and a soda for each of us. They handed us a buzzer which would alert us when our order was ready. We waited 10-15 minutes and our buzzer went off. My husband went up to the counter to retrieve our food. I was truly taken aback when he set our meals on the table. My first observation was the chicken; it was absolutely drowning in sauce (literally a massive puddle on the plate). The chicken was so overcooked and dry, it was like eating jerky. The green beans were very clearly from a can and were way over salted. The mac and cheese was basically macaroni noodles coated in butter with a bit of hardened, dried cheese on top. The price we paid for this unappetizing food was far too much. We'd heard such wonderful things about their other locations so this was a big bummer. Perhaps things will improve in time, I do understand that this particular location is very new. read more

I was there around 1 pm on a Tuesday. Ordered the pork rib lunch with potato salad. The helpings were generous. The pork was delicious and moist. Plenty of BBQ sauce, which I like. I ordered the medium sauce. The lady taking my order and the gentleman preparing the order were friendly and very helpful. I only had to wait a couple of minutes for my order. I will definitely go back to get the ribs again. read more

Can't believe two 3-combo dinners and desserts cost us $73! To top it off we ordered waters to drink As much as I wanted to enjoy some southern BBQ, it just didn't happen. Chicken, brisket and ribs were very dry. I'm use to some slow cooked juicy meat. Don't bother with the Mac and Cheese, it wasn't cheesy & it didn't have that smacking creamy sound or taste. All I can say is: well at least I gave it a try. read more

Was here yesterday and ordered the Brisket/Link combination, with potato salad and mac and cheese. It was COVERED BBQ sauce. There was SO much sauce that it was hard for me to see the fat in the meat, which was the majority of the brisket. ALL fat. I probably had 5 bites of actual meat. The link had zero flavor. Worst link I've ever had. Potato salad was good. Mac and cheese needed to be cooked a little longer. read more

This is not the same as Berkeley or Oakland. 6pm on New Year's Eve, had to wait for links. No problem. 5 minutes into my wait, they say they have no chicken. Okay, I guess double up on the brisket. Bad choice. Not sure what this is, but it's not smoked brisket. Inedible. Super tough and none of the fat was rendered down. Also, very strange how it was cut. The ribs and links were okay at best. The people at the counter were nice. read more

Look, I haven't tried all of the BBQ, but this has got to be some of the worst. Everything is dry! Links? Dry. Brisket? Dry. Ribs? Jerky. There's a reason why everything is smothered in sauce. If you *need* BBQ sauce, you're doing it wrong. This place does it so very, very, very wrong. The BBQ sauce is good though. Should bottle that up and sell it instead of the meat. read more
