Mind-blowing Brisket Tacos!
I've always loved the brisket here, but today's lunch taco happy hour experience was truly mind-blowing. The brisket tacos were incredibly flavorful, the salsa tasted so fresh, and the corn tortillas were delicious. While the place is a bit pricey and the tacos are small for the cost, the exceptional flavor and quality more than make up for it.

BBQ Quality Has Declined Significantly
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. The BBQ has become dry and overcooked, which is a stark contrast to when they first opened and served very good, high-quality meat. Unfortunately, both the quality and cooking have moved way downhill.

Flavorless Meat, Better Napkin
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The meat was flavorless and sandy. Honestly, the napkin had better flavor when I used it to clean myself off.
I would not recommend this place.

Delicious Food, Pricey but Worth It
My experience at the restaurant was excellent. While it was a bit pricey, the location justified the cost. Everything I ate was very tasty.
The side portions were generous, although the flavor wasn't entirely to my liking. However, overall, the food was excellent, and the habanero BBQ was outstanding.

Disappointing Food, Great Vibe
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. While the atmosphere was great, with a 5-star rating, and the service also received a perfect 5-star rating, the food quality was a significant letdown. The bbq brisket was bland, and the hotlink tasted like it was from a supermarket.
The burger patty was tasteless, and the coleslaw was the worst I've ever had. Despite the excellent vibe and service, the poor food quality, rated at 2 stars, made the overall dining experience unsatisfactory.

Meat Volume, But Lacking Flavor and Value
I visited with a friend on a weekday and they definitely delivered on the meat with volume. However, I was surprised that most of the meat options were not plates/meals by default; you have to order sides separately, which gets expensive, fast. It felt like I was being nickel-and-dimed.
The pricing is high, with a full rack of ribs costing around $55 and half a brisket at $20, with no sides included. The staff were attentive and friendly. Unfortunately, most of the meat lacks a lot of flavor, so you’re expected to add sauces while eating as necessary.
I feel this should be a better experience. There are no wet towels at the table, so after eating ribs, your fingers are all sticky, with nothing but regular napkins to wipe off with. I would have appreciated some wet towels.

Good Food, Friendly Refills!
My experience at this restaurant was positive. We celebrated a friend's Birthday 🎂🎉 party here. Although a worker accidentally spilled my drink, it was an accident, and I had already experienced a mishap that day nearby.
The Food was good, and I was pleased they had Vegetarian options for the burgers. A rare and appreciated perk was the Free Refills for drinks, allowing me to order as many as I wanted. Overall, I had a good time.

Excellent BBQ Delivery for a Party
I used 4505 for a party at my house in Pacifica and they were extremely easy to work with. I handled the entire order via email, and they even offered to deliver with compostable utensils and plates, which was a huge help for a 1-year-old's birthday party. The food was just as good as dining in, and all my friends raved about it!
I highly recommend them for BBQ delivery at home for an event.

Mixed Feelings on Brisket and Beans
My experience at the restaurant involved ordering the beef brisket plate, which came with spicy fries and beans. The beans were a delightful surprise, described as rich and delicious. The fries offered a nice kick.
However, the brisket itself was just okay, being chewy and a bit tough, leading to a feeling that I wouldn't rush back for it. The outdoor seating with wooden benches is dog-friendly, though it can get noisy with kids and barking dogs. I did appreciate the convenience of the QR code ordering system for extra items.
On a positive note, the service was friendly and attentive.

Generous Portions, Delicious Food
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The servings are big; we shared the ribs dinner for three between six people and still had leftovers. It was a good deal, and everything we tried was delicious.
The collard greens were packed with meat, making them a substantial option, and the baked beans were also meaty and delicious. If you're looking for a budget-friendly meal, the collard greens with a roll would be a great choice.
