The South Smokin BBQ

"We found this joint through social media and it did not disappoint. It is the best BBQ we have tried, period! The owner is very friendly and their customer service is superb. Portions are very generous and most importantly the flavor and tenderness of the meat is to die for. Parking can be tricky as they share a parking lot with many other businesses. Plenty of handicap parking though"

"The owner and his son were so sweet to my friend and I when we arrived - true southern hospitality here in the Bay! We had a pulled pork sandwich with beans and smoked potato salad along with a side of fried pickles. The food was truly delicious, the BEST BBQ I’ve ever had!!! Service was friendly and fast, we were even treated to complementary sodas when the line was long. I cannot recommend this place enough, go try it for yourself!!"

"The owner and his son were absolutely a delight. True southern hospitality. I wish I didn’t eat my food so quickly so I could share a picture. I got the pulled pork sandwich with beans and the smoked potato salad, and that was truly the best potato salad I’ve had in my life (sorry mom) I also got the fried pickles which are my favorite side and it’s safe to say these are the best I’ve ever had: all crunch and no sogginess. Delicious and I will be back!"

"Absolutely banging barbecue! I randomly came by here for a late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I always try to eat at local small businesses whenever I have a chance, and I found this place nearby on Google Maps. I ordered the brisket sandwich with sides of macaroni n cheese and beans. The brisket was so darn good. I haven't had this good of a brisket since I visited Texas a few years ago. The meat was so tender and cooked perfectly. The flavor was incredibly good. They could have used a slightly better bread for the bun, but it works just the way it is. The mild barbecue sauce was a good compliment The Macaroni n cheese was really good as well. The beans weren't my favorite. I've had better, but it was okay. Just a bit overcooked. If you are looking for good barbecue come here."

"Best BBQ I've had west of Texas. The owner does Arkansas proud. The pulled pork and the brisket were phenomenal. Mild sauce is delicious with a hint of sweet. Medium sauce was great with the tiniest kick. The hot sauce had the right amount of heat. Meat had a delicious smoke flavor. The mac and cheese and smoked potato salad are so good. And the corn bread? I wish I had ordered 2 more of those. Fantastic all around. If you're in the Bay area, check this spot out. Parking can be a nightmare, but trust me, it is worth it. Great atmosphere too."
