I ordered the three meat combo which was supposed to be to be ribs, sausage and brisket. Unfortunately they were out of sausage so I substituted it for pulled pork. I got the mac and cheese and the pesto pasta salad and someone else in my party got the rice and gravy. The ribs were a little hard on the outside like they had been under a warming light all day but the meat closer to the bone was pretty good. The pulled pork was also pretty good nothing to wrote home about but still good. The brisket was dry and touch do not recommend. The mac and cheese was lacking the cheese more like butter noodles but still edible. The pesto pasta salad had no flavor. The rice and gravy looked gross i personally didnt enjoy it but my company did. Both plates came with cornbread which was ok. Overall i give the meal a 3.2/5. Sorry forgot to take a picture read more

I love coming here for lunch! They have a good croissant chicken sandwich. The staff is always friendly and helpful whenever we dine in. I absolutely love the design of the inside and during summer when they open the windows is beautiful! Great food, service and place overall! read more

Update:do NOT order the newly added Burgers. I was so disappointed. No flavor ! Stick to bbq .

Dissatisfied with 3 way platter. 3 small ribs. I cannot support this place as a BbQ restaurant.

The service was quick and the food was amazing! We ordered the half chicken plate, the pit boss plate and an arnold palmer, all of which was so amazing and such a huge portion! The chicken was falling off the bone and not dry at all. Definitely will be coming here again! read more

I love Gracie's. I eat there a lot. I get the spare ribs, or the pulled pork or the brisket. Big portions. Tasty food. The beans and pesto pasta are top notch. The corn bread is usually good. My wife LOVES the Mac n cheese. The servers are friendly and fast. The BBQ sauce is great. I don't know if they still sell it in bottles, but I have bought it in the past. read more

I was excited to try Gracie's. It always smells amazing whenever I drive by, and I finally had an opportunity to give it a try. I opted for delivery, and it was still pleasantly warm when it arrived. It smelled wonderfully, and I do think there was a decent serving of brisket. One may argue that the side portions were a bit small in relation to the price, which was the biggest downfall. The brisket itself was average and enjoyable, but their barbecue sauce was perfectly tangy and paired nicely. I would love to get a bottle of their sauce for my pantry, it was that good. Cornbread was nice, not too dry. The coleslaw was fine - I not a fan of raisins in coleslaw myself, but I liked the addition of the green apples. The Mac and cheese was the most disappointing bit. Cheese was only to be found in separated blobs. The rest was mostly just grease and paprika. I also enjoyed their Swamp Juice, which was sweet tea and lemonade mixed. I pretty decent concoction if you want a sweeter Arnold Palmer. Overall, I wasn't blown away, but enjoyed it enough to perhaps try a different dish in the future. read more

Hubby and I don't go here a lot and we were craving BBQ and did not feel like driving across the bridge to our usual place. We decided to stay local and try this place out. We were quickly greeted and told to sit anywhere we like which we chose the outdoor area by the window. It took a few for the server to come to our table but once they did the service provided was quick, courteous and friendly. The dining area was pretty cozy and loud as there were other tables filled and kept happy as well. I ordered the brisket and chicken combo with potato salad and green beans. Hubby ordered the ribs and chicken combo with mac n cheese and green beans. Our drinks came out shortly after we placed our order and I really enjoyed the Arnold Palmer they provided. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We thought the sides were just average but the corn bread really is so delicious!! Hubby and I could not get enough of it. I tried the rib and I liked it along with the brisket. The chicken was just ok to us as well. They do give generous portions that we had a lot to take home as far as meats. We had a good dinner and can maybe consider coming back if we ever don't feel up to driving out of town. read more

OK I have been eating their BBQ since it was served from a trailer on Springs road back in the 90s. I have enjoyed their food over the years but have some comments No matter what others say the tri tip is not the end all be all tri tip that some make it out to be, as a matter of fact I end up feeling disappointed whatever entree I get it in. I find it to be dry and tastless The side salad and small pies are the best in Vallejo I enjoy the baby back ribs but sorely miss the spare ribs that are no longer on the menu. Also the menu prices have gone up by a fair amount recently. I understand operating a restaurant in downtown Vallejo has its own set of challenges, OK what I am trying to say as a good customer is that I do find your BBQ as good as I used to and with the higher prices I will be dining there less. read more

Food is cooked to perfection, always tender and hot. Service is prompt and courteous.

Food is great service also great. I always go here to try new things on the menu. It's All good! I remember back in the day when they started with a food truck on springs road. William Kim's parking lot .... The ambiance is good with lots of tables read more

Overall taste of the food was great! I could definitely taste the "Smokeyness" emitting from the meat. The smoke was great! As soon as I walked out of my car, you're well received by the amazing smoke coming from the business! The Mac n cheese and as amazing! Awesomely creamy and enjoyable! As for the coleslaw! Super natural and tasty! read more

I fell in LOVE with the Smoked Turkey at Thanksgiving (Seriously, the best I've ever had and I don't like Turkey!!!) and I started stopping by to pickup the smoked chicken OMG!! So freaking good!!! I should have bought 2 (4 of us ate it at one setting) . The cornbread and the BBQ sauce was excellent. My Granddaughter really liked the Mac and Cheese (super picky 4yro) I couldn't eat it (not GF) . We can't wait until Summer so we can party outside! The only thing, green beans too tender !! But still had good taste. Thanks Gracie's we will be back to try everything on the menu and update from there! read more

I am so happy I found good barbecue since I moved to Vallejo the rib lunch plate was perfect

Anyone who tells you they had poor service, less than delicious food or was short changed when leaving this establishment was paid to leave their review. This is by far one of the best places to come to eat in this dying cess pool in Carlos Santanas Bay Area. This is authentic barbecue. These are genuine people. You will not find a better place to come in and eat pulled pork in The North Bay than right here. The banana pudding does leave a little something to be desired but that's not my business, if you want barbecue with amazing cornbread, this is where you would want to find yourself. And ask to take some of their barbecue sauce home if you're taking anything home for later. You won't be sorry. You're welcome. read more

Don't do it! This place is terrible! The food is so disgusting! The customer service is horrible! The Mac & cheese taste like it's chemicals in it. The ribs are burnt, just forget this place exists! Ate there today $43.00 dollars later, never again!!!! No stars read more

Very good food and fast service for pick up during the covid-19 pandemic. This was my first time here and it didn't fail my expectations. I was looking for a good barbecue place since I've been staying in Vallejo. I only deducted a star because the tri-tip portion was small for $20 but it was very good! read more

So a few colleagues and I had finished a day of prep for a conference the next day and we were starving. Also, noting that this was going to be one of the few meals I would have before I got my jaw surgery, I was really hoping this place could provide a delicious and joyous meal. We were given Gracie's as a recommendation from a colleague at CSU Cal Maritime...and I will say that the recommendation did not disappoint. I'll get started... Service: Just great! We had Justice tend to us. And I will say that he is amazing and I would request his service any day I come in. Justice knew the menu, had great recommendations, and was always quite attentive to our needs. Everything came out in a great amount of time and the food came out as it was finished in the kitchen...so it was still hot. Venue: The ambiance was fitting for a bbq joint. The mason jar lightning was a great touch. Everything was quite casual and there was quite a bit of seating. They have an outdoor option as well. Their windows are glass garage doors, so beware that you may need to have an extra jacket because heat is not kept in well. Food: The food was delicious! We had the family feast which was a good portion of food for all of us! Everything was delicious, however, we have some top contenders. I loved the sausages (could be a bit more spicy), the scalloped potatoes (which were a special) was fantabulous, chicken (well prepared), the mac & cheese (it's not you're regular mac and cheese, more like a chili cheese penne dish), and the brisket. All my favorites. But it was great! Def would come back if I find myself in the area again! read more

Went there for the last time recently. They just clearly do not care about customers or customer service. Orders and food are consistently inconsistent. Always forgetting to include items in to go orders both big and small. Never fully stocked. Can count on them saying they're out of several items at anytime like burgers, burnt ends, sides like mashed potatoes and gravy or potato salad, produce such as strawberries and avocado and always missing popular beers listed on the menu. Tried for several years to keep supporting this family owned business but just can't any longer. read more

Was there last night with a group of friends. The food was good though the portions were measly. Downside was the service. It was our first time there, we walked in, and it was not clear if there was table service or order at the counter. The counter person was on the phone so she jerked her thumb at me, indicating, I guess, that we should seat ourselves, so we did. Initial service was pretty quick but that's where it ended. Our waiter was either on vacation (in his mind) or just did not care. He never came back after he took our order other than when we flagged him down for things we needed. At the end of our meal, we were going to order dessert (something we made him well aware of when we ordered), but we were handed our bill as if they wanted us to leave. After ordering dessert, it took way to long for the dessert to be served. At least 25 minutes. I think the food was tasty but the service is lacking and if I want to be ignored when I go to dinner there is no need for me to travel 25 miles for that. I would not go back. read more

Stumbled on this place in vallejo and wow it was really good! Super quick dining as everything is already made! You have to have one of there teas with a meal its a must! The corn bread was to die for warm and soft with a little crisp edge! The random taco was unique lol we appreciated it on the plate. They have there own parking lot on the side of the building. read more

Wow!! Yes, it was that good!! I was floored!!!! A group of us came here post a day at the nearby six flags and we were glad we found this bbq spot! Hubby and I shared the sampler plate that came with hot links, chicken, brisket, pulled pork, ribs and two sides. Seriously, I was soooo tempted to ordering more food since everything was soooo good! I usually don't care much for chicken at a bbq place but boy, Gracie's chicken was amazing! I had to say one of the best I've had! Flavorful, smokey, delisssshhh. The brisket, hot links, puller pork, and ribs were really good too. As for the sides, we had the chilli and pesto pasta salad. Chilli was really good, the pasta salad was just so so. Everyone else in our group was very happy with the food too. The price was really good too!!! We will certainly come back here for more bbq..I want to try the tritip!!. read more

Got Brisket, Mac & Slaw. The staff is quick and friendly. The food is... Good. It's not bad BBQ, it's not great BBQ. It's just good. The serving of meat is good, the serving of sides is a little light. The sides taste ok but the Mac noodles are mush. The slaw is nice and crispy and tangy (it's got apple and raisins in it) and the cornbread is good. We'll definitely be back, because it hits the spot when we want BBQ without driving far or cooking it ourselves. read more

Ordered through door dash and will definitely order again and dine in when I can. I had the salad with all the meat in it and it did not disappoint. Often times bbq places' meat is dry or tough but not here. It was fantastic and I didn't get that "I'm eating a salad and feel sad that I'm eating a salad" feeling you get sometimes when trying to eat a little more healthy. I will definitely order it again. Oh and I would never have thought to put dried cranberries in a salad like this but dahum guys that was a good idea. Maybe tonight. But I want to try the ribs too. And the chicken. Maybe I'll get both and just have leftovers. The beans are really good too. I mean, they're beans, but, again, dahum they are hella good. Gimme a bowl of those and a spoon please. Anyways, this place has been fantastic. I like it a lot more than Sauced in Walnut Creek and Lucielle's in Concord/Pleasant Hill and more than Bounty Hunter in Walnut Creek. I wish I had known about this place when I was pregnant. Y'all would have been able to pay your rent just with my orders Tl;dr: eat here, food yummy. read more

Hands down, one of the best experiences I've had with beautifully tasty BBQ, nostalgic pies, kitschy mason jars, and wonderful seating environments. If I could give more stars, I would. The chicken quarters (just the short order) was filling and the best BBQ chicken I've had. It fell off the bone and it was juicy and complimented their choice of BBQ sauce well. Along with that, their cornbread really made it for the sides because of its perfect fluffiness and grittiness. And don't forget their mason jars which are actually very large mason jars and none of that small decorative stuff. Swamp Juice, iced tea, strawberry juice--whatever it is, it will probably taste amazing. And their pies, nostalgic to me because of high school, but still delicious and perfectly sized to this day. Then the seating at night is lovely. Dim yet lit by strings and mason jars, and an ambient light to make everything visible with the right amount of relaxing darkness. Perfect for a date out or just relaxing to some nice food by yourself. I don't know how else to say it besides just screaming it at you--GO HERE. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. read more

This use to be our out of town Favorite spot... but, the last time we went was disappointing Although the Meats are ALWAYS FANTASTIC!!! The wonderful salads (mac & potato) didn't have the same Grandmas recipe taste as always AND What happened to the Fantastic Pies??? The size is cut in half. We'd rather pay extra to get the larger sizes back Not sure if we'll be back... read more

Haven't been here in a LONG time and it is still the best bbq! Ordered the brisket plate with Mac and cheese, and potato salad. Also comes with cornbread. The meat was soft and juicy. It did not need any sauce. The sides were flavorful and the cornbread was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Everything was perfect. Had leftovers and I was excited to have another serving of it! Have to come back sooner than later! read more

this restaurant is a great place to eat the service as well and the food is delicious top 10 recommendation

We were going to see a show at the Empress Theatre in Vallejo and we found Gracie's. The star of this restaurant was definitely the meats. The ribs were tender & juicy and the hot links were good and spicy. The sides were ok and we liked the potato salad better then the macaroni salad. They serve a sweet BBQ sauce with their BBQ. A friend bought the family dinner for him , his wife & Daughter and there was enough food to feed 5 people. The prices are really reasonable and they only serve beer & wine and non-alcohol drinks. I would come back to Gracie's the next time I am out that way. read more

The owner and my husband forged a bond over baseball that will never broken. For at least and hour a dodger fan and a giant's fan found common ground. No matter who you root for , everyone is a fan of food. Gracie's cornbread is to die for, and the potato salad is tasty. We grab the combo platter every time , we don their doorstep. Pull up a barstool any day of the week and you will always most certainly be greeted with hospitality and charm. And don't be surprised if you see two guys lamenting about who's team is better.

We decided to take a chance at a restaurant we hadn't been to and I'm really glad we did. We got our food to go and it was all really good! I got the chicken croissant club sandwich with macaroni salad, it felt like there was an entire breast on it.

Gracie's BBQ was our go-to place when we lived in the East Bay. We moved out of the area 2 yrs. ago. Yesterday, I went down to meet friends in Vallejo and decided to order food from Gracie's to bring home. What a huge disappointment. This was the worst-tasting meal I've had in a long time. The beans, beans/rice, links and potato salad were awful. I ordered 2 meals: 1/2 slab of pork ribs, hot link, beans and potato salad; and 1/2 chicken, hot link, beans/rice and potato salad. The hot link was missing from the 1/2 chicken order - maybe he didn't hear me, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. After taking a few bites of the potato salad, beans, beans/rice, we let the garbage disposal take over. Not ever going back again...and that's too bad. They used to have very good food. read more
