Lines deter me. So I basically forgot this place existed. Today I was gifted a box of meat! My first Fikscue! Magical! I will be back! Everything was flavorful and smoky. I am not a BBQ fanatic, but I have been to Texas a few times. This would hold up to some of the best and I found it less salty. I like how the sauces are on the side so I can control the dip or no dip. A note - it's super rich and use the spicy mustard sauce. It's tender enough to go sauceless. read more

Fikscue Craft BBQ - Brisket, sausage Dino rib - Barbeque Near Me - Alameda, California

Indonesian Texas style BBQ caught our interest! Definitely a good idea to get here early! Expect to line up like any other BBQ joint. After the line, you order at the counter. Got the food faster than expected. It's right next to a brewery, but there's a shared space with a few tables outside and only a few counter seats inside. We ended up taking it to-go to enjoy at a nearby park. Brisket was great, juicy and tender. Dino rib just fell right off the bone. Burger was tasty but not standout for me, would probably just order more meat next time. All the food we got was perfect for sharing! Street parking with nearby lots. Came on a Saturday and it wasn't bad, but we might have gotten lucky. read more

My husband and I arrived to the back of the line on a gorgeous Saturday morning at about 11:45 AM. The line was already quite long, even before doors opened at noon. We had a group of friends meeting there at 1 PM to celebrate my husbands birthday. This was everyone's first time trying Fikscue While in line we grabbed some beers and Micheladas at Alameda Brewing. Around this time, a very sweet kind lady (maybe the owner?) came out and thanked the crowd for patiently waiting. I took the opportunity to ask her how long the wait from where we were would be. She estimated around 45 minutes. It turned out to be more around 1.5 hours. But we knew her answer was just an estimate. We ordered everything except drinks on the menu. And a lot of it. The meat was premium, juicy and tender. The smoky flavor really penetrated to the bone. We really enjoy the banana pudding dessert (not pictured). This location is cleverly located in between two breweries which is great because you can grab your food and a beer at either breweries. This bussiness seemed to cultivate community and an overall great spot to gather. The only negative experience our group had was with a couple in line in front of us. We were large group (8 people and 3 kids) and a friend accidently bumped into the couple in front of us twice. We were trying to take a group picture and bumped into the man. This grown man cursed us out calling us "effing idiots" and many other ridiculous names. Look we are all here trying to enjoy a delicious neighborhood mom and pop. Things happen, if you cannot be kind to your neighbor in line, stay home and order delivery. Accidents happen! No one got hurt. Besides that unsavory interaction, this turned out to be a great afternoon for all. We will definitely come back to try the desserts and beef cheeks. read more

Long lines, but moved expediently. Kitchen was clean. Staff was nice. Prices seemed a bit high. French fries and yellowish mustard sauce were delicious! Beef brisket & ribs were tender, but really greasy. read more

Son wanted to try so we are here. The line was long, the selection limited but the taste was good. There were many big orders, likely for parties. A $300 order can fit nicely into a regular paper grocery bag with room to spare, so make sure your wallet is mentally prepared so it does not go into shock. We had a sandwich. A pound of brisket and some baby back. My advice... unless you really want to suck the gravy off the bones or want to bring gift to your canine friend, don't get anything with bones as everything is by weight and I don't know about you, I can't chew on the bones. After close to $80, I had some meat off the rib and a piece of brisket, and craving some instant noodles ... The place is very transactional and noisy. But that is how it should be with a busy place where majority of orders are to-go. read more

Ambiance - 5/5 Walking in I didn't have much expectation. But as I step foot into the place. I was fascinated but the wall art. The street art vibe with the cartoon style character. Super awesome. The kitchen is wide open. Everything was super clean and well put together. Service - 5/5 Great recommendations from the staff. The house slaw and banana pudding were clearly popular choices, and they definitely knew what they were doing when guiding the order. I told them it's my first time. These were what they recommended me. One of the staff actually gave a piece of brisket to try. Very nice of them to give a free sample before I order so I know what I'm expecting. Food - 4.5/5 Dish Ordered: Dino Rib, Brisket ( 1/2 lb), House Slaw, Banana Pudding 5/5 Dino Rib Wow. This was the highlight. The meat was unbelievably tender--every single part of it. Usually with ribs, especially the upper portions, you get some toughness or dryness depending on how it's smoked. Not here. This one was melt-in-your-mouth soft, juicy throughout, and you could practically pull it apart effortlessly. The seasoning was perfect--balanced, not too salty, not bland, just right. Every bite hit. 4/5 Brisket ( 1/2 lb) About two slices. Visually, it looked great--nice color, juicy, with a solid fatty portion. But after eating the Dino rib, it felt a bit underwhelming. Still good, just didn't hit as hard flavor-wise. Might be better appreciated on its own next time. 5/5 House Slaw This paired extremely well with the meat. Sweet, tangy, and refreshing. The hint of peanuts adds a nice nutty layer that makes it stand out. It cuts through the richness of the meat perfectly. 5/5 Banana Pudding Not your typical pudding--it's more like a banana cake. The sweetness not too overwhelming, smells amazing, and just hits the spot. A great way to finish the meal. Additional Comments The Dino rib alone makes this place worth it. It sets a very high bar, which honestly makes everything else feel secondary. The best Rib I have ever had in my life so far. Important thing to note is that the rib will be weighed. I don't think you can ask to get the portion you want like you can with the brisket. My Dino rib came out to be 1.6lb. The sides and dessert complement the meal really well and round out the experience. Price is bit is definitely in the higher end but the experience is definitely worth it. read more

Wow the food here is amazing, if you're wondering if you should go, just do it. I'm not even a big bbq person but it's so good I finished every plate. My husband wanted to order food from here to take home for his birthday. We came on a Wednesday a little after 4:30 PM and there were less than 5 people in line. It went quick but we can see how there can be a line on weekends since there's only one person cutting meat in the back. The food is phenomenal though and worth the wait (again coming from someone who doesn't eat a lot of bbq or meat). The sides are my favorite. They are so good. We got every single one :). I loved the brisket and the mustard sauce. And we got the dessert drink which was tasty for someone who has a big sweet tooth. Overall, it's fantastic and next to a brewery. There's a small parking lot near by. Would definitely come again!!! read more

Fikscue Craft BBQ - A plate my husband put together with a little bit of everything we ordered. - Barbeque Near Me - Alameda, California

We cane around 12:30pm on a Saturday and waited in line for about 30 minutes! I wasn't expecting a line, but it was worth the wait! Also tbh......I came for the Indonesian food and not the bbq actually haha. My only complaint is that this place is quite pricey haha. Our bill cane out to $70+ (including tip) for two entrees, a side, and a drink (no bbq). We got soto padang, ayam balado, rujak, and es cendol. Some comments: The soto padang was yummy but a bit too salty. The brisket wasn't anything special imo.....Red sambal was amazing (*tears *). The es cendol was yummy but a tad too sweet and thick. The chicken was very flavorful and tender. Rujak was refreshing! And the plates were all pretty big! Overall: It was all enak sekali and fulfilled my Indo food cravings. I'll be back to try the other classic Indo dishes! read more

The food is worth all the hype, and the wait time is well worth it. We arrived at 12pm on a Sunday, right at the opening time. We only waited approximately 45 minutes from standing inline to getting our food. The restaurant is take out style, however there is plenty outdoor seating and seating inside of Alameda Brewing. I would describe the wait as part of the experience, you see the meat being carved and weighed right in front of you, talk to other eager foodies, watch the delicious trays of food walk by. We ordered a Dino Rib, brisket, cheeks, chicken thighs, lumpia, and the slaw. Everything was absolutely delicious, but the slaw for me was amazing. Warming, it is not a traditional cole slaw. It had pineapple, peanuts, cucumber, cabbage, carrots, and a peanut sauce style sauce. It complimented the meat really well. The star of the show was definitely the Dino rib and brisket. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This is one of the best and most interesting restaurants we have been to! Whoever thought of Indonesian and Texas barbecue fusion? Well they do an excellent job on both cuisines and blending it together. Everything is nicely paired and delicious too! Hubby had the Dino ribs which were HUGE, meaty and juicy! I had the Rendang (Indonesian), a side of lumpia and a dumpling special. Everything was an explosion of flavors! We were a significantly impressed and will be back. Our friends warned us that the lines can get really long but we went around 2:30 and it was not bad at all. But the problem with going too late is that they run out of some of the more popular foods. There are not a whole lot of tables for the amount of business they do, but they have an agreement with the Alameda brewing company next-door that you can bring your food over there and use their tables, as long as you buy something to drink there. read more

My husband heard about Fikscue after watching Check, Please! so of course we stopped by for an early dinner. Apparently they serve Texas style BBQ and Indonesian fusion dishes, which I thought was very unique. We walked through a small courtyard before entering the restaurant. The employees were extremely busy, and although we were ready, it took them a long time before we could place our order at the register. They ran out of Dino Beef Ribs and Beef Back Ribs, so we ordered the smoked brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and a side of fries. Not sure if it's because I'm not a huge meat eater, but I only enjoyed the fries since they were crispy. The brisket was very salty and didn't the sausage was crazy good given that it costs $8. The place didn't blow my mind, especially since it's priced by the pound. I would come here if other people wanted to stop by, but I wouldn't if I was by myself. read more

SO GOOD. Husband and I came on a Saturday morning. The line was long, but we found it to be worth the wait. I recommend getting there early though because there is a good chance you'll miss out on all the best stuff if you don't (they serve til they're sold out and then that's it). We ordered: - Brisket - Dino Beef Rib - Balado Plate w/ Chicken - Rujak Slaw - Potato Salad - Nasi Goreng - Banana Pudding - Soda Gembira - Cendol We loved it all. Highly recommend.

Food ok Service good Ambiance ok One word Overhyped. I'm not saying that the barbecue wasn't good. It just didn't live up to its expectations. Now I saw this place on social media as one of the best barbecue in the Bay Area. Well in my visit, let me just say I was disappointed. The food was OK and overpriced. The brisket was a bit dry so was the ribs. The sausage tasted like sawdust and potato salad was flavorless. Service was good lady that helped me was nice and suggested what to get. The place inside is pretty small, but there's plenty of sitting outside and you could sit inside the brewery next-door, which is what we choose. Now if I was in the area again, I would not come back. read more

Fikscue Craft BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Alameda, California

I see what all the hype is about... 4.5 **** rounded up to 5 ***** for me. Texas style Halal BBQ in the Bay area with an ethnic twist. Brilliant! I heard about Fiskscue from one of my friends. I've been meaning to try it for a while, I just don't get around to Alameda that often. The hours are also odd; they are open only 3 days, and not even the whole day. The venue itself is tiny, more like a hole in the wall. They have some counter seating inside and there is an area right outside where one can eat. Good news is they are located next to Alameda Brewing, where one can dine in if you grab a beer. Parking can be challenging, so good luck with that. I also overheard the young lassie at the register say Saturdays are crazy and usually much busier than Sundays. The staff were very friendly. #IndonesianBBQ: ~ Jalapeño-Cheese Beef Sausage - 3.5/5 The Sausage was a little too fatty for my liking. I thought the flavor was okay as well, I couldn't really taste the Jalapeño or the cheese. It paired very really well with the Mustard sauce and their BBQ sauce. ~ Beef Cheeks - 4.5/5 The Beef cheeks were on point, almost like burnt ends. They had a nice char on the outside, yet soft and juicy in the middl. Not as tender as the Brisket, but excellent nonetheless. ~ Fried Chicken Leg - 3/5 The chicken itself doesn't have a lot of flavor, but it was very good when dipped in BBQ or Mustard sauce. It's worth trying at least once, but I would not recommend it. You aren't missing out if you skip this. ~ Rendang Plate - 4.5/5 I could definitely taste the Indonesian flavorsat first bite; the coconut milk stood out right away. The potato fritter was very good, along with the Kale curry; flavor galore. This was literally be a meal by itself. ~ Soto Padang - 5/5 This was AMAZING! I'd come back just for this! The soup was absolutely delish! Flavor bomb! Two types of noodles and delicious broth with pieces of brisket. Brilliant!! ~ Nasi Goreng - 3.5/5 Initially I thought the Nasi Goreng was OK. However, the more I ate it, the better it got. The flavors opened up more. But I had better, also there was not enough brisket in the dish. ~ Cendol - 5/5 Be sure to stir and mix this up real good before drinking it. The palm sugar syrup sits at the bottom. Very refreshing and tasty. Overall, a great experience. I'll be back... read more

Fikscue Craft BBQ is a unique fusion of Texas style smoked meats with Indonesian flavors, also described as "Halal Indo-Tex." I had their "BBQ Brisket Sandwich" and my husband had their "BBQ Brisket and Smoked Sausage." AMAZING! Their brisket is dark and savory with deep mahogany color. Incredibly tender meat, able to be pulled apart with no effort and slices cleanly without crumbling. Truly intensely flavorful, smoky and buttery, with high level of moisture!

My eldest child was asking for beef ribs. While we usually go to Capelo's in Redwood City, I was unable to order the beef ribs online since it said they were sold out. I then Yelped "beef ribs" and discovered Fikscue. I remember watching an episode of Check, Please! Bay Area, which featured Fikscue and I was intrigued to try an Indonesian fusion BBQ joint. My family decided to make the trek to Alameda to try Fiksue and it was totally worth the trip! We sampled practically everything on the menu, since we ended up having a large group. We tried the beef cheek, brisket, beef back ribs, dino beef ribs, chicken legs, jalapeno-cheese sausage, rendang plate, balado plate, batagor, rujak slaw, nasi goreng, lumpia and the banana pudding. I kid you not, everything was delicious! I loved that the Indonesian plates had shrimp chips served with them. All the BBQ beef meats were so tender. I could easily break pieces of beef off the bones with a plastic fork. We ordered way too much food, but glad we were able to try everything. The banana pudding was to die for! I'm no BBQ connoisseur, but I honestly think Fiksue is the best BBQ I've tried in California! read more

These go to 11. Food: 5 mics Service: 5 mics Ambiance: 4 mics Food: Dino rib was fork tender all the way through. The first bite was butter, smoky flavor and juicy. It was all I imagined it to be and better. The brisket was just as good and lived up to the hype of this quaint hole in the wall. If you live here, you must go. If you're visiting the East Bay, you must go! Service: I walked in excited because I waited since COVID to eat here. The gentleman at the register and the crew was just as excited as I was to see me. He told they had a full menu and that hyped me up even more. Phenomenal customer service. Ambiance: Nothing exciting but I think you can choose an area that you would like to eat in. In this case, the ambiance doesn't matter because the food makes up for it all. Come to this place and don't sleep on it. These go to 11. read more

Great barbecue and great, friendly service. I've heard so much about Fikscue, I was looking forward to experiencing the barbecue. I arrived at noon and the line was a dozen customers deep. After about 30 minutes or so, I made it to the counter to order. I had one Dino Rib ($38 per pound)and a Beef Cheek ($19 per half pound) on special. I thought it was a good value as I've seen other places charging more. The lunch came out to around $80. There was about 10 bar top seats inside and a few tables outside. Street parking was convenient. read more

Fikscue Craft BBQ popped up on my social media feed, and the concept of Indonesian cuisine with a BBQ twist immediately caught my attention. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon before 2 PM, fully expecting a long wait after hearing how busy it can get--but to my surprise, it wasn't too bad. One thing to note is that there is very limited seating at Fikscue itself. However, there's a beer spot next door where you're allowed to sit as long as you order from them, which is a nice workaround and makes the experience more relaxed. Unfortunately, they were already sold out of ribs, which was disappointing since ribs are my favorite type of BBQ. That said, the food we did order more than made up for it. We had the rendang plate, brisket, sausage, lumpia, and potato salad, and everything came out delicious. The flavors were bold, well-balanced, and satisfying, with generous portions. I also liked that they offer different sauce options for the rendang and lumpia, which added variety and depth to the meal. The employees were friendly and welcoming, rounding out a great overall experience. While I'm still hoping to catch the ribs on a future visit, I'd definitely go back again if I'm in the area. Fikscue Craft BBQ is a creative, flavorful spot that lives up to the hype. read more

This place was really interesting. You wait in line outside, and there's a sign that shows how much meat is available for the day. We came around 12 PM on a Saturday and waited about 20 to 30 minutes. We ordered the brisket, Dino beef rib, and jalapeño sausage for our meats. For sides, we got the potato salad, slaw, and fried rice. The potato salad was so good, and the slaw really surprised me with a nice peanut sauce flavor. The fried rice was also packed with flavor. The sides were easily 11/10. The meats were pretty good overall. The staff was also very kind and generous when we asked for more sauces. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'll probably get larges for the sides to make the wait even more worth it! read more

Only came for the Indonesian plates and daaaamn they were good!! Got a plate with grilled chicken and a plate with the brisket rendang. The chicken came easily of the bone and was not dry. The brisket rendang was a deeper drier rendang with more grassy notes that the rendang I've had in the past but was very very good too. Kale curry was a surprise hit -- I kept going back for more bites of this. It's like, a better version of collard greens. The kale was soft and tender without being mushy (like spinach can get) and zero bitterness (like collard greens can get). Everything on the plates were just really well balanced. Felt like it had a little bit of everything and every texture. Enough of a portion of everything to not feel like I was missing anything but also enough variety to feel fully satisfied. read more

Other than being too popular and rubbing out of food, Fikacue is pretty perfect for a hole-in-the-wall place. The staff are friendly and patient, as guests have questions about the Indonesian/Texas fusion cuisine.

The texture of the dessert Banana Pudding is a great counterpoint to the umami main course. We've done the eat-in and take-out options.

Fikscue Craft BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Alameda, California

Definitely an inventive and well executed BBQ spot in Alameda. As connoisseurs of Texas BBQ one of the biggest problems we have in CA is cooks times. Too short Fikscue didn't seem to have this issue. Brisket is the tell all and if it's cooked long enough the fat and meat basically meld together. And such was this We also had the Dino rib and beef cheeks. The rib was amazing, huge, maybe a little salty. And the beef cheek was good - I expected it to be more melt in mouth so prob would go back for that. The slaw and potato salad were both excellent fusion versions. Long line, come early. You can sit outside or in the beer pub next door. Ambiance is more how you frame it for yourself The prices - well with beef like it is - they are HIGH. We decided that going back for a little brisket with a nice roll down the street and some slaw could definitely be an every week occurrence. read more

Went here on a Sunday and arrived around 1130am there were about 12 people in line ahead of us. The wait wasn't bad and everyone seemed in a good mood. The man at the cash register was friendly and charming. We ordered Dino ribs, nasi goreng, brisket, and beef cheeks. It was pricey but I was already prepared for that before coming in. Nasi goreng was pretty good, the brisket was tender but the lean part was a little dry, the beef cheeks were slightly disappointing as they were too salty and hard. I was hoping they would come in a pulled style meat. The star of course were the Dino ribs, a MUST have if you go. We ate in the pub right next door and had a cider to go with the meal. I really liked both of the bbq sauces offered. The darker one had a slight curry flavor and the other was a sweet mustard base and that was my favorite. The meal came with pickled onions and peppers which really came in handy to help cut the fat and salt. I would absolutely come back for the Dino ribs and I appreciated the quick and friendly service. Everything was clean and the ambiance was casual and lively. If you're on a budget I would say splurge on the Dino ribs if you can only pick one (out of brisket, beef cheeks, and ribs). Would definitely recommend. read more

Fikscue Craft BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Alameda, California

I'd been wanting to check Fikscue out and happy to be in the area. We arrived in the afternoon and there was a line which took awhile but well worth the wait. Inside is fairly small with some bar stool seating and there's also tables outside. The brewery next door lets you eat inside if you order drinks/beer from them. We got a Dino rib, brisket, and Rendang plate. Thankfully they hadn't sold out of those items yet but there was a handful that were already. They had a board outside that they updated with the amount of each item left which was nice. The Dino rib was our favorite. Flavor was so good, tender, juicy, and fall off the bone, and portion was huge. Ours was 1.25lbs. The brisket was really delicious too. Good flavor and tender but enjoyed the rib more. There was 1 type of BBQ sauce available and was really great but meat also didn't need it. The Rendang plate was filling and well balanced. I loved the kale curry with the flavor, the egg on top, the potato cake was amazing, also loved the taste and crisp of the garlic chips, and great to try the brisket with different seasonings with this plate. It's a bit pricy but worth it for sure. Can't wait to come back again and try more items. read more

Been craving BBQ ever since I got pregnant, and Fisque BBQ has hands down been the best spot we've hit so far! The Dino rib totally stole the show--fall-apart tender and packed with flavor. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth amazing when hot (yes please ), though it dried out a bit once it cooled--pretty much expected with brisket. The cow rib didn't quite shine the same way, but the sides... wow. Not your boring afterthought BBQ sides--these were creative, unique, and seriously delicious. If you're in Alameda and looking to satisfy those BBQ cravings, Fisque is definitely worth the stop. I'm already planning my return trip just for that Dino rib! #BBQLove #PregnancyCravings #AlamedaEats #DinoRibDreams #WorthTheMess read more

I've been here a couple times now and it's probably the best bbq I've had in California! All the meats are juicy and delicious. Their sides are also great and have an Indonesian spin to them. While waiting in line you'll regularly see people walk out with bags stuffed with food because it's that good. I went once on a Saturday and even going like 30 minutes before opening, had to wait over an hour to get our food. But I went again on a Wednesday and there was a much shorter line and I waited only about 10 minutes without having to go before opening. There's limited seating outside, but it did seem most people were getting takeout. I also believe one of the neighboring breweries allow you to bring food in as long as you purchase their beer. read more

The slaw was bomb asf not going to lie at all but the rest of ts was mad overrated tbh. Me and my family came here to celebrate my uncles birthday and he enjoys BBQ, and me including 2 others said it was just....OK. Definitely not worth waiting in line for as long as we did and before they opened just to get. Either I've had TOO many BBQ experiences and others haven't had the same but, I thought it was just fine. The brisket was fine at first, I enjoyed it because it pulled apart easily but the 'skin' of it was mad chewy. The ribs were...sub par. I took one bite from the meal we all shared and decided that was all I would have. The sausage was not bad but it was so small compared to the rest of the meat that it sucked we only got one to try :/ the BBQ sauce up in front was fine... what I really enjoyed was the damn sauce for the chicken and the fries. now that was fire. like I said in the beginning the slaw was fire. it had pineapple in it though which I wasn't a huge fan of. the potato salad was not bad the rice was pretty okay.... definitely overrated. would I come here again? nah, there's better BBQ places and you don't have to wait long OR pay as much read more
