Dont let the humble exterior fool you this place is great.  JC's rocks I always get their combo sandwich plenty of stick to your ribs meat and tastes amazing.  What is unique about them is the sauce it's nothing like I have ever tasted before but it keeps me coming back time and time again.

This has been our go to bbq spot since it's close to the house.  I love their baked beans not too sweet.  Tried rib tips for the first time and probably won't order again.  They were way too dry actually threw away half the order.  Could be a hit or miss but wasn't good for our first try.  Other than that their bbq is pretty good.

This has been my BBQ "go to" place since the late 80's and there's really good reason.  I usually order the same thing (pork ribs & link lunch special) and I haven't been disappointed in 30+ years!

The the BBQ beans are amazing and even the green salad, which is really nothing more than incredibly fresh lettuce with amazing 1000 Island dressing, with a hint of garlic, is so much better than it sounds.

As for ambiance, there isn't any.  But the same cook has been parboiling & grilling the meat forever and, in addition to being a good grill master, he's a sweetheart!

I live in Palo Alto, but hit this place at least 6 times per year.  Try it!  You'll like it, I promise!

This place is a take out dive but I love the beef ribs. Not many places off bbq beef ribs so the bar is low, but it's the only place that comes to mind when the craving hits. The owners aren't native English speakers, so phone orders are hit or miss, but I don't fault them for trying.
