No Line yet, but after we finished ordering, the line was out the door. For our group of 4 adults we ordered the rack of Beef Dino Ribs plus the large Family Pack (1lb of each meat) Brisket, Pork ribs, chicken. Plus smoked sausage. Sides: potato salad, mac&cheese, Brussel sprouts. Corn bread. Peach cobbler cheesecake, Banana Pudding. Wow !! A lot of food , i wanted enough to take home for Lunch the next day. We placed our order at the counter, then worked our way to the dining area. Food arrived at our table before i was done collecting the sauces, plates, napkins & silverware. Very fast - amazing as the dinning area was nearly full. The Dino bones ( 3 big ribs) was very impressive. Perfectly done. Definitely my favorite. Juices still dripping, very moist. Pork ribs were good. St. Louis cut, so they were a little on the drier side than babybacks. We asked for dark meat on the chicken but received two pieces of breast ( a bit on the dry side). Brisket was perfect, very moist and tender. Smoked sausage was a favorite especially with the Texas sauce. Sauces are the secret for good BBQ ,, as long as the meats are moist. We were with a Good group and out to celebrate a happy event. Everything was good. Desserts were packed to take home. Good service, even the cleanup staff were friendly. Atmosphere was typical w/ televisions entertainment. Noise level was decent to have table conversations. Cost: @ $60 per person Note: the Mini Family pack with the Dino rack would have been enough for our group. The restaurant was clean, trash bins emptied before they were in need. Bathroom was tidy. Yes, we hope to return. We do have good BBQ on the east bay. Our experience at Capelo's was very satisfying, service was great, my wife and our guests would definitely make the trip again for a nice outing.

I've been to Capelo's twice now for lunch, spaced out by a good amount of time -- at least a year…read morebetween visits. I like the restaurant setup: a mix of indoor and covered outdoor seating that feels open and inviting. The food, for me, has been mixed. On my first visit I had the brisket and remember it being very fatty -- not my thing, though I know preferences vary on that. This time I went with the chicken sandwich, which I really liked, along with the coleslaw, which was also very good. My biggest complaint is the price. Two sandwiches with coleslaw came to $50 before tip. Factor in the now-standard 18% "guilt tip" (for what's essentially counter service, with food brought out to your table), and you're looking at roughly $30 each for a sandwich and a small side. That's too steep. I get that costs have gone up across the board, but this feels like a stretch.

Probably not. But our server was great.

They have free ice cream, plus other desserts you can order, including the white fungus with goji berries, which was such a nice and refreshing way to finish the meal.

The Cracklings were "Amaze Balls" They are a healthier version of Pork Rinds, but even more delicious. We asked the Manager about their origin and a lot of work was put in to perfect the recipe. Well worth the effort Chefs Kiss on this one!

Well, this was my second time here. The first time was with family, and the food was fantastic. So,…read moreI decided to come back. After watching a review on social media, I decided to try something new. I had to try the cracklin' chicken bites. I ordered the southern fried fish, added the brisket, and the collard greens. After I ordered, I went to the bar to order a gin and tonic. I asked for the Bombay Sapphire gin. Then, it turned into an unreal experience. When I got my drink, I asked the female bartender if she added lemon or lime. She gave me "the look" and said I did not ask for lemon or lime. Taken aback, I told her that I've never had a gin and tonic without lemon or lime. She then replied, "rude". I proceeded to apologize, and then she acquiesced and gave me a garnish. I thanked her and again apologized. She was having none of it. I was in a great mood because I still tipped her. However, it has been bugging me ever since July 25. Hence, my review. Back to the food. My food was delicious, flavorful, and portion sizes were great. In fact, I am taking my parents there today. However, we are going to go to the one on South of Market--just in case I want a gin and tonic. I will be sure to ask for lime this time. :)

The bancheon alone blew me away. The scallion pancakes were amazing, I loved the ube mash, and most everything else: tofu, quail eggs, were good. The kimchi was not too sour like I've had elsewhere. The meats were all great paired with a variety of dipping options. They were very rich for sure do I wouldn't have this every day, but there was a good amount for the price, and each cut was so tender. Some more flavorful than others, but Each stood out with different tastes. Only thing I would change is the marinated rimbs were a bit sweet for our tastes but still delicious. The bibimbap and wagyu tofu soup (comes with rice) were great as well. The ice cream was okay. Overall I for sure would come again. The server was helpful giving recommendations, but he said the protons were small and we should order more. The protons were in fact huge, so lesson learned. They also let us sit down almost 30 minutes before our reservation (do get a reservation) which was nice. The inside is dark and fancy, very clean. Seeing the raw meats on display and lots of other people's orders waiting to be served filled us with anticipation. I also appreciated the was a lot of seating for people to wait for their table including inside and outside; they probably need it. And I love that they grill for you so you don't need to worry about messing up. I wish more places did this. They were super skilled and efficient.

The banchan is generous with a great variety. Love that you also get a lot of pickled onions and fresh green onions to help cut through the richness of the meats. Ordered the beef tongue - chewy, but superb. If you haven't tried it, order it. Also the wagyu a5 and brisket which were equally delicious. The place does get crowded so reservations seem the best way to go. Fun place for a nice treat to enjoy Korean BBQ

The 5 of us shared the bacon brisket hash, brisket, pork ribs, mac n cheese, cornbread, and a smoked carnitas taco. My favorites were the brisket, pork ribs, and cornbread. Would probably skip the hash next time because it was on the blander side. Cornbread would've been better warm but definitely still delicious and loved the corn chunks inside. Brisket and pork ribs were both quite tender. Prices are reasonable for the hefty portions. One thing to note is that the bacon brisket hash and the taco both came with cornbread.

The honey garlic wings also lacked crispiness but it was sauced well enough. Any other bb.q location is better than this one.

The location that we went to is located next to Maggiano's Little Italy in Santana Row on Olin Ave. There is a free 2 hour parking structure across of the restaurant where my boyfriend and I parked at. We came during their Lunch Specials (until 4pm) and Happy Hour (from 3-5:30pm) which worked perfectly as we wanted something smaller in portion compared to the dinner portions. We started off with drinks. I got their Pig Ol' Bitties Blonde Ale, and my boyfriend got their Friday Beer & Shot special of This Little Piggy Went to [Mark]et with a 16 oz Dirty Little Pig IPA and a shot of Benchmark whiskey. My fault for having him get a whiskey shot on an empty stomach, though HAHA. He did like how smooth the whiskey was at least! We shared a 2-meat BBQ Lunch Combo Plate, and honestly, we should have gotten 3 meats because of how tender and delicious everything was! We got their Tri Tip and Sliced Brisket with their Garlic Mash and server recommended Sweet Potato Tots. Ahhh, everything was so good! Aside from the tender, flavorful meats, the two sides, especially the garlic mash, were sooooo good. We both loved everything! It was definitely a great choice coming during lunch as we were quite full after ordering one of their happy hour shareables of Chips & Queso (kind of pricey even for happy hour in my opinion for chips and cheese). Honestly wished we got their Chili Cheese Fries or their other fries which were the same price than just chips and dip LOL. But it was a good hold over food with us drinking a bit (at least for me). Shoutout to the only server who was working on a late Friday afternoon as she was doing her best to accommodate everyone + trying to clean up the previous tables. It was kind of sad seeing that the other workers didn't help bus the tables in my opinion. Overall, a great place to watch sports and have some good whiskey as this restaurant is known for their whiskey selections! The lunch BBQ exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely come back for another lunch special meal but probably with 3 meats this time!
