We were blessed today to visit this bbq restaurant. We were greeted by Tim the owner! Tim served us…read moreand even came over to chat with us regarding our experience. I can say of the hundreds of thousand locations I have graded. This is the best BBQ I have eaten in the East Bay! The drive was so worth it! Try it the sauces are made in house and have the best southern smoke flavor! Yum we will be back!

I saw my friend post pictures of his food on Instagram, specifically a close up shot of RIBS. Now,…read moreanyone that knows me, knows that I love me some ribs....mmmmm, mmmm! When I asked him where he got the ribs, he said Famous Dave's. I knew that I had to try them out for myself. It was always one thing after another, but finally, I had time on a Wednesday afternoon. I didnt want to deal with a crowd and when I went, it was perfect. We were seated right away. Our service was Yanira and she was awesome. So friendly, answering all of our questions. I got the ribs and meat meal since I also wanted to try their chopped pork. My sides were Mac and Cheese and Tater Tots. When my order came, I got their special fries and before I could even say anything, another server came with a bowl of my tater tots apologizing for the mistake. No complaints here since I got another side. Everything was delicious. The ribs were tender. I also loved their BBQ sauce. I was going to order water, but since it was a special occassion, i ordered a Dr. Pepper and I was surprised that it came in a large mason glass jar. The Dr. Pepper wasn't peppering.....if you know you know, it just didnt taste strong, but I did enjoy that the drink was ice cold. They dont have coke, but serve pepsi products. The cornbread was perfection, warm and buttery. Disclaimer, the Mac and Cheese had corn in it, just stating if you care about that sort of thing. It was more on the saucy cheesy side. I never had Mac and Cheese like that, but since I love Mac and Cheese and I love corn so it was hit in my world. Portions are huge and I had to take some food home. Prices seem comparable to other places that serve BBQ. Lots of seating areas and I can see on special occasions or on the weekends, this place could get packed. Plenty of parking. This restaurant is off Winton, in the area where Panera is at. If you go all the way to the mall you have gone too far. I know that I will be coming back, I am curious to try their burnt tips. They have a loyalty program. You can sign up before, it is simple, or sign up there as you are eating.

My family and I visit Famous Dave's at least once a month, life is busy with kids and work, and…read moreit's one of our go-to spots. Every time we come in, we're warmly greeted and well taken care of. The staff is consistently kind and attentive.

Customer service: I had an issue with door dash saying they…read morepicked up my order but never brought it to me... I was staying around the corner so it wasn't too much trouble for me to go pickup my food but I was already comfortable at home... so to make a long story short... the worker (I think maybe the owner not sure) she ended up accommodating my meal that the door dasher took and didn't make me pay again and even gave me some extra corn bread for the inconvenience. The worker that day was super sweet and I really appreciate good customer service now a days. A little kindness can make someone's day !! The food: corn bread 10/10, Mac n cheese 3/10 (it was very watery and not much flavor) hot links 6/10 they have a weird texture I think because they are home made... but the overall taste was decent... also in there defense I got the last batch of the day... I went when they were 10 minutes to closing... banana pudding 4/10 basic banana pudding nothing special

It didn't occur to me that inside the bustling FoodNet Supermarket deep in San Leandro would be a…read moreBBQ butcher counter with a whole lotta cooked meat ready to be hacked into big chunks. Although I'm not used to buying by the pound, prices seemed fair and straightforward. Roast pork and pork belly were being sold at $17 per pound. BBQ pork and pork ribs were at $14.99 per pound. A whole roast duck went for $30 (half for $16), and a whole chicken for $28 (half for $15). It was hard to see any of the meat because of all the flyers covering the glass. Regardless, I snuck a peek at the roast pork and ordered a full pound. The butcher was on automatic pilot and ended up chopping about 1-3/4 pounds. After she put the pork on the scale, I agreed to the overage, and she charged me a flat $30, which to her credit, was just a quarter over the price (photo: https://bit.ly/3ndWYwK). When I got it home for Jamie W. and me, we frankly liked the fatty-tasty flavor and hard crunchy skin. We had enough leftovers for an army of bulimic supermodels. FOOD - 4 stars...fatty, crunchy, and chewy...what more do you want? AMBIANCE - 3 stars...well, it's no Dean & Deluca SERVICE - 3.5 stars...chopping away TOTAL - 4 stars...gimme a pound of meat (grunt) RELATED - Exploring this part of the East Bay?

Finally I found my All LEAN BBQ Pork after its disappearance starting about 10 years ago. LEAN BBQ…read morepork disappeared because 1) Lots of the customers that grew up in the 70's are either retired or passed away. Not that many of them left. 2) The new immigrants LOVE animal fat & MSG. These are the younger folks that have green notes to spend. I have been going from one Chinese BBQ shops to another for the last few years. None of those even heard of LEAN BBQ pork. I know about this place for many years. I never bother to check because of their cash policy. I haven't have a wallet for almost 10 years & I use Apple Pay for everything. I bought a pound of LEAN BBQ pork today & a chicken today. Delicious!!!!!

Can you pick up your order, there's so much meat in there that it is actually heavy. Beautiful little lower cost than restaurant barbecue simply because no additional overhead for employees/servers. I've only gotten the tri-tip and links, but they have a lot more selections. Even non-barbecue items. Tip: the hot barbecue sauce is hot but not too hot.

We joined the waitlist 10 minutes before we arrive Soon as…read morewe check in, we are seated It's a busy night, but we are able to get the seat right away The waitress was friendly, so as other staff. Always love their prime rib I think medium was perfect for me But for two people, I think the appetizer was a little too much Also, we ordered the regular margaritas and sangria margarita with extra patron shot for three dollars more Overall, the experience was nice It just I know it's probably a line waiting But we were in the restaurant for less than one hour. Still holding a lot of food on the table. The staffs come in check on us couple times. The way is friendly, but still we know they're probably trying to rush us so they want to give us the boxes and want us to pack it. Take it home. While we were still eating. I think asking for one time it's OK but when you ask more than one time and obviously we still have a lot of food and we did not showing that we are finishing. Maybe next time a less pushy experience will be better Our food is approximately $100 and up for two people. We also ordered cocktails. So we are taking our time. the portions were big. But overall, we like the food everyone is friend. I recommended this place

Service was great, the food stations were clean, and it was easy to order familiar dishes. While waiting in line, we spoke to a couple of guys who were there to pick up some lunch and wanted to try different things. It's always a pleasure to be able to introduce new dishes to people who want to learn. Sure, I enjoy my share of Honey Walnut Prawns and Sweet and Sour Pork too, but you got to diversify. I can honestly say that I've tried everything offered on the steam table here with the exception of liver (no offal) which I'm not supposed to eat. We've also tried all of the BBQ meats and some of the cooked to order ala carte menu items.
