Everett & Jones Barbeque
Best Barbecue in Oakland · CA
Oakland barbecue with Side sauce
Everett & Jones has smoked hickory barbecue with soul since Dorothy Everett and her children opened the first location in 1973. The Jack London Square flagship piles tender ribs, hot links, and brisket under a house sauce that runs from mild to a serious 'super-Q' heat, and the room doubles as a blues and R&B stage.
A matriarch-founded, family-run East Bay institution, Everett & Jones is a cornerstone of Oakland's Black culinary and music culture — barbecue with a side of live soul.
