I go to this restaurant on almost every business trip to the Walnut Creek-Layfayette area. I've never had a bad meal...their food is excellent! My favorites are the brisket, baby back ribs and the halibut. more

Barbque is just okay. We ordered baby back ribs for my son and he was not satisfied with it because it was too fatty. Overall, the ambiance was okay and the food was not impressive. more
