Get the Happy Hour 3 B's deal! Plate of BBQ wings and drums. 2 pints of Pabst blue ribbon and 2 shots of Bourbon. All for $18 ($9 per person, 2 person minimum). Great date meal!
Sean RouseFebruary 20, 2015Try the Burnt Ends Plate - Twice cooked Texas style burnt ends with a slightly spicy BBQ sauce, 2 slices of bread & 2 sides. (via @Foodspotting)
William "Billy" AndersonDecember 23, 2013The Spareribs are tremendous and the Bacon Brussel Sprouts are a fabulous dish!
David OkuboApril 23, 2016not sure what happened to this place, but the quality of the food has gone down over the years. fun and lively place for interesting drinks, though.
David BunnellAugust 17, 2011WED Night they sample some of the best BBQ in the World -- Carolina Whole PiG this WED -- $22 Buffet Style All YOU Can EAT really good!
Peter HornbergerSeptember 19, 2015Mostly come here for drinks and appetizers. The BBQ nachos are my favorite.
Jonathan FlemingNovember 2, 2011New on my list, cool space in Berkeley, nice tv's and food is cool, location is very nice!
Rand WackerDecember 19, 2009Ironically I don't think the BBQ entrees are all that great (ribs are pretty dry for example), but we keep coming back for the sides (mmm, Mac and Cheese), sandwiches (mmm, lamburger), and drinks!
LiliaJuly 12, 2013No brunch during the week. Limited choices for non-beef eaters. Deviled eggs were delicious.
Love the smoked brisket sandwich, BLT, and buttermilk-fried chicken... great for beers and sports on TV- Smoked meats brings out a weird crowd. Food is pretty good though... Smoked beef brisket. Try the bottled sauce at the table (the one with no label)—very good.
Try the Royal Blush - I love the alchemy portion of this afternoon's entertainment
Portions are huge. Don't get too much food or you'll be sad when you're full
- LiliaJune 14, 2014Kids grilled cheese looks like they just pulled the bread out of the bag. Sent back to get grilled.
Catherine CollettMay 15, 2013Devin is awesome!! Had a bad experience with the hostess and then Devin made it all better
Wed night BBQ $19 AllYou can eat specials The Kansas City BBQ was amazing
Terrible service ! Sucks ! Waited. 40 mins for food only to find out that the server forgot to put in our order . Then comes over to say she had to cover the dinning room as well . 1 table .yeah right
Kesten MigdalFebruary 23, 2010Happy hour rules. $1 tacos, $3 pints. Come form 3-6 every day. Great for kids too.
The Time after Thyme cocktail is incredible. Happy hour deals are great!
Josh SteinerDecember 20, 2009Upstairs is lounge chair seating, goes perfectly with the happy hour vibe.
Ana Gabriela Hernandez-McKigMay 21, 2010Derbies, Ginger presses and orders of mac and cheese keep luring me back here.
Kevin R.December 26, 2011Bartender takes To Go orders, could be 15 minutes before you get your order taken.
Allison BanksMarch 3, 2012We just had the fried chicken and it was wasn't cooked through. Sent it back and it was worse the second time.
Chris RecouvreurJune 24, 2010Open at 7am right now to watch the World Cup on big plasma screens. Just saw the USA victory over Algeria today!
Jeff MojicaNovember 11, 2011@trexbarbeque we sat for 15 mins, then when we order we were told you ran out of Smokers. We wished we were told before hand. We left. :( Ask before you get seated.
This place used to be better than average. It's now terrible. Bad food, bad drinks, mediocre service...
antuan goodwinJuly 20, 2011Maybe it's just me, but the service in this place has sucked 2 of the 3 times that I've been here this year.
