I would recommend looking up their instagram just in case this happens to you. The team was kind and patient as it was my first time there. I ordered the loaded fries with a patty and it was delicious. The burger patty was seasoned and juicy. The fries were crispy similar to In n Out fries. With the sauce they used for the fries, I feel like I got a burger and then some. For the price, that will probably be my go to order since it is more filling than one burger. Overall, good food and I will try again at the original location.

Super solid smash burger! We got a double of the classic burger (I wish I could handle spicy cause…read morethe jalapeño one looked good!) It was tasty and delicious. I wish the bits were crispier and more smashed but it's one of the best you can find on the peninsula. We also got the French fries. Pretty standard frozen fries that were fried well. I would call before you go because they happened to be doing a pop up at fieldworks when we went so we had driven to the wrong spot. Prices also are fair and not expensive! Just expect a long line depending where they are. Try not to look at the dirt and grease caked on their equipment though....

Good barbecue is tough to find around here. And great barbecue? I've only had it once in Northern…read moreCalifornia. Until today. Pitmaster/Chef Michael has an amazing backstory. I actually stumbled across the Dirty Pit BBQ page on the Nextdoor app, where he had posted a video about an unhoused community member who needed a bike. Michael was reaching out to the community and using his platform to see if anyone had an old bike they were getting rid of, or even one to sell and he would buy it and then gift it to the man. Today, Michael told me that he saw the person just the other day, and someone came through with the bike. As I stood talking with him, enjoying my meal (more on that in a second), there was not one but two other people who were standing nearby. Michael offered both of them some food and a smile, saying he knows how hard it is out here. I don't know that I've seen that level of generosity ever at a food stand, and I'm here for it. The question, then, is Does the food measure up? And that's an easy one to answer. I was the third party in line at about 12:15 this afternoon, shortly after opening, so I was able to get a good look at what I was already smelling. No one got to the front before being offered a sample - a bite of tri-tip or a burnt end or an oxtail - which was a great way to try almost everything in one visit. Amazingly, there were zero misses, and everything on the menu was as delicious as Chef Michael described. I chose tri-tip, ribs, and burnt ends for my plate, with mac n cheese and beans as my sides (though I was also offered a sample of collard greens, as well), and I can tell you this: the biggest problem you're going to have is narrowing down your choices. The tri-tip is tender and flavorful, and the temperature was a very nice medium rare. The oxtails had a fantastic homemade blend of seasoning. I don't often order oxtails, but these had such a comfort-food quality that I immediately realized I've been missing out. The pork ribs were large, meaty, and perfectly seasoned. The burnt ends had an incredible glaze. I brought a bite of mac n cheese over to take a dip in the burnt end sauce and almost fell over, it was so good. The mac n cheese was exactly what you want it to be - a nice crust on top, and cheesy, gooey goodness all throughout. As for the beans and the collard greens: I can't remember ever having better beans or greens anywhere, ever, and that's after living in the South for over a decade. The greens were incredible - so often they're too salty or bitter, but I could eat a whole plate of these. And the beans were the most savory, hearty bbq beans you've ever seen. I've literally never been excited about bbq beans, because so often people either heat them up straight from a can, or cook them in a way that makes them taste like they're canned anyway. These beans were insane, and that in an of itself is kind of an insane thing to say about beans. All of that to say, this is competition-winning-level stuff here. And let's put this in context - at this point, Chef Michael has his meats and sides all kept in catering trays lined with foil, which would make it tricky for an all-day setup. But he's been selling out before anything gets too dry. I've been fortunate to be at the front of the proverbial line of a few of the best (Texas Monthly Top 50 - actual best!) bbq places in Texas before they blew up (Corkscrew in Spring when it was a trailer and a tent, Tejas in Tomball when it was a chocolate shop), as well as most of the famous spots, and I am completely confident in saying that if Chef Michael keeps up this level of smoking and cooking, we're looking at what could become the gold standard for NorCal bbq.

We had it Sunday at the farmers market and again Thursday at the farmers market; it was that good! It's simple, not overdone. Which is perfect. Fresh ahi, sesame, avocado, onion, sauce. Over rice, or your choice of base. It's a little pricey but it is 100% worth it. When comparing to other poke places around, it's a little higher but the quality smacks those in the face, so it makes sense. The fish is so fresh tasting, melts in your mouth. Highly, highly recommend. So nice to have a nice light, refreshing food truck option in lieu of all the fried stuff. Plus, the guy who runs the truck is so friendly. So nice. Reminds me so much of being in Hawaii and getting that ohana treatment. The truck looks clean and well taken care of which makes me feel good about the cleanliness standards he holds. You won't be disappointed; check it out!

Stumbled upon this poke truck at the San Ramon farmer's market a while back. It's good but nothing…read moregreat. You also have to pay more just to get rice with your fish (if ordering a "poke boat") which feels like a rip off in my opinion. Ahi tuna ($14 for 1/2 lb) itself is solid and good quality for what it is in this area. The sauce is described as a sesame soy sauce with spicy mayo. It's on the sweeter with some savoriness, light on the sesame, and not so much salty. I do like the flavors, but the poke isn't marinated long enough for them to seep through the whole fish chunks. Has a very slight kick from the chili flakes.

I had been hearing about Red Eye locally and thought I would give them a try. I ordered in advance - I had heard they sell out fast if you don't put in an advance order. Pick up took longer than seemed reasonable for an advance to go order, but zero complaints about the quality of the food! I got two racks of pork ribs and they were spectacular. The other stuff e saw them putting out looked really good too. I normally smoke my own meats, but it is great to have someone local that does such a good job. Now I have a place I can go to when I don't have time to do it myself. Everyone who tried them loved them- including a friend who was a chef in New Orleans. I think Red Eye are the best thing going around here for real BBQ (by a good measure). If you haven't tried them yet, get over there! You are in for a real treat!

While the food that I ordered (or at least got of what was available) was objectively delicious…read moreand seasoned wonderfully, my experience of ordering and waiting was dissapointing and overall ruined my lunch. *PS I ordered under the name Zed if you see this review. There was already quite a line by the time I came in around 12:40 and was eager to try everything after reading the amazing reviews. I decided to order all the cuts except for short rib (they were sold out) and the chicken. As I am placing my order, I see some miscommunication between the chef (Bob I believe) and the person who took my order, something about not following the inventory count of cuts available, potentially leading to over-orders. I prayed there would still be enough for what I ordered and stayed optimistic. About 10 minutes after ordering, I was told that the beef cheeks were sold out. I was okay with that as they refunded me immediately. 15 minutes later and I'm told that the spareribs are also sold out. At this point the only things available were the pork belly and jalapeno cheddar sausage. I still wanted to try the two that were still available, but was dissapointed in having to experience this. As for the food itself, to say the least it was very good. The pork belly was perfectly salted and simply melted in my mouth. The sausage was juicy, had a great snap to it, and had a perfect ratio of cheese to sausage. The jalapeno is subtle and doesn't punch you with spice, but the subtle hint of spice with each bite was addicting. The stand out for me would be their pickles. Korean pear, fresno chili, cucumber, and red onions made up the pickle mix. I loved the sweet n sour of the pear and couldn't stop eating it. The cornbread was also nice and fluffy. Would I come back to try this? 100%. Just from the pork belly and sausage, I can't wait to try the short rib/cheek/spareribs. I would recommend everyone who wants to try Red Eye to either PRE-ORDER or come early before they open, as I came ~40 minutes after opening and most of the meats were sold out. I wish there was a clearer tracking system of how many cuts were left, as placing an order only to be told AFTER ordering that stuff was already sold out is extremely frustrating. Maybe having 1 more person would also help as well, as I waited close to 30 minutes for my order. I will update this review after another attempt, as this could have simply been an off day.
