Shannon did let us know they also have events and live music through the week, so we're excited to come back and visit again.

The mac & cheese mixed with the beans was such a good combo, and you absolutely must get the cornbread.

Definitely better than the BBQ spots I've tried in San Jose. Everything felt flavorful, fresh, and well done. I'll def be back. Great customer service and nice high chairs.

I am from Castroville with that being said I have seen this restaurant through its many changes one…read morething that never changes is how good the food is. This is a small local spot obviously it's in Castroville, but it doesn't take away from the friendly service and the tidiness of the restaurant itself. We walked in this Saturday evening and we're promptly greeted and told to pick a seat And we picked a lovely seat right by the large front window and we had a nice open window to get the air in. It was really welcoming per usual. It was very clean. The service itself was attentive, friendly, and fast. The same lady who is always working, was working this Saturday,I like her. She's always nice to us and my mom thinks she's the best. I'm mom loves this restaurant and she always wants to support them so when we get a chance we do come by to show some love now to the important part the food. Food was delicious. I actually started thinking to myself. How is this Restaurant not in the conversation in the best barbecue of the Central Coast? The tri-tip is delectable the brisket, his mouthwatering and the service is super good, so it is quite surprising to me. The only critique I could honestly give was the potatoes. My mom said that her scallop potatoes were still pretty hard. My potato salad was extremely hard, and I didn't mention the potato salad itself could use a little bit more sauce that might be personal preference and I do happen to make a mean potato salad so maybe I'm being a little overcritical, but my mom did kind of say the same thing so I think it's a fair critique. We had three meals (one was to go) they were all the same the combo platter, but there is different sites for everything as you see in the picture the potato salad, scalloped potatoes, steamed vegetables, french fries and baked beans were all of the things we had decided to try besides my mention of the potatoes, everything was delicious my mom is also mentioned that the macaroni and cheese is pretty darn good, but we didn't try it this time The french fries were out of this world. I wish I would've took a picture. They had some seasoning on there, but they were the bomb. You are definitely paying for the quality food you get as I mentioned we had three meals. My mom had a few glasses of wine. (3) I had a soft drink and a bottle of water and a tipped 20% and our bill was about 150 bucks. To be honest, preparing this meal at home would've been a lot more expensive with the different meat, selections and sides and not to mention the hours of prep that would've took and a good bottle of wine. We would've been well over $200 so me the value wasn't bad for not having to cook and getting some super good food . I feel bad I have it reviewed this place sooner because they deserve some good words written about them, they're doing good work. They have been open forever and that means something in today's economy to see local businesses staying open through these hard times please support them so they can continue to be open for their community... local or not you're doing a good thing by patronizing this establishment. Please stop by. I'm sure you will not regret it.

The sandwiches were a bit salty, but hefty portion. I recommend the tri tip with bbq sauce on Dutch crunch. As for the meats- the wine and spice marinated skirt steak is so good, well balanced seasoning. One fellow customer warned me of the geysers of cheese in some of the cheese stuffed sausages, and he wasn't kidding. The jalapeño cheddar sausages weren't too spicy, great for kids. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area!

Don't come here if you don't have time to wait. They do tell you there is a wait before they take your order. He told us 45 minutes. It was 60. But we knew that from reading reviews. We planned to walk across the street to Grocery Outlet while we waited anyways. Next time maybe we will call to order. Noticed a lot of people did that. And they had catering orders that could be making wait times longer. It's a tiny place not really for eating there. 2 small tables with 2 chairs each. No restroom.

I tried most of the food and I had some mixed feelings: the katsu could not stand alone and needed the sauce, the Mac salad was lacking in flavor--maybe a tad too much on the sweet side. The loco moco was also a bit bland for me. The roasted pork was tender and tasty. My daughter liked the spicy kalbi fries-and my son loved the beef. This is a place mainly for take out. Only 2 small tables inside with a couple of larger tables outdoors. Plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. Food-4/5 Service-4/5 due to the long wait time from the time in between ordering and the time I actually got the food I would come back again if I was in the area.
