Mesquite and Oak

Discovered this place just walking by, was actually heading to the Mexican food place next-door but thought I would give it a try, pretty dang good, my only complaint is they cut the brisket with the grain rather than against, I took it home and cut the brisket properly, against the grain, and it was good!

4.1/5 for the price its hard to beat. I got the brisket sandwich and it could have been juicier and more flavorful but the coleslaw was great. Service was really nice though.

I tried the Brisket set. I was hoping for something very juicy, but my brisket was rather dry. It had good flavor, just missing the juices. I'll come back another time and try the ribs and see if that changes things for me. At the time they were also out of potato salad. It was around 1pm, so I was surprised they were out that early. You'll also leave smelling of smoke, in a BBQ way.

Disclaimer I’ve Been coming here for years. These pictures are older but the quality never changes. I hate that not everyone can have the experience that I have with this restaurant. The food is always delicious. The staff is always friendly. I know it can be frustrating when places run out of things that you want But for a small business, every dollar counts, if they’re sold out on anything that I’m looking for I just grab something else because you can’t go wrong. I recently went to another barbecue place that offered beef ribs and was robbed without a gun over priced underseasoned and offers you absolutely nothing You can come here anytime and any dish you get will hit the mark

One day I was craving bbq and I haven’t had any good ones so I never really bothered trying to find it. However today I was close to settling for famous Dave’s but I decided to look it up to see if there was anything new. I happened to find two near work. Jon Jon’s and mesquite & oak. Since the combo for Jon Jon’s don’t let you substitute out the sides I went here instead. The place is nice and clean and everyone there was nice. They seen me looking at the togo bbq sauce and asked if I wanted to try different ones. I got the brisket, pork ribs, and Dino beef rib because that’s the first time seeing it at a bbq joint. The brisket was good and the Dino rib was huge and juicy. The pork ribs was okay to me but that’s just me because my coworker liked it. The Mac and cheese side was really good and the corn bread had real corn in it! I forgot my sauce and the cook ran out to hand it to me. Good customer service.

Writing this review after totally smashing my plate. This is the best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. I used to drive all the way to Oakland to get my BBQ. Little did I know this hidden gem was right under my nose this whole time. I’m genuinely surprised this place isn’t packed - I’m here in a Sunday afternoon. Family owned and they cook like you’re apart of that family too. Will be recommending this place to everyone asking where to eat next. Get the brisket ~ chefs kiss.

It was our first time here. We mainly came to try the beef dino rib. This place was busy for a late Sunday morning. I really wanted to try the breakfast items but had to stick to the plan lol. The person who helped me was super nice and friendly. He was recommending one of the breakfast items and told me it was guaranteed to put me in a food coma. I told him I'll try it next time. While I was waiting, the place itself was pretty big on the inside. Parking is a little tough. My husband had to look for parking while I went in to place my to go order. The dino rib was delicious and tender. Mac n cheese and potato salad were solid side items. The lady who gave me my order was eh. I kept asking to make sure I had bbq sauce. She was like yes, even the person helping me asked. I walked out one of the bbq sauce fell out. I got home, and all we had was one small container of bbq sauce. That was annoying. I had 2 dino ribs and all she gave me was 2 mini sauce containers. Luckily, the beef rib didn't need it but come on.

When he said we'd meet up at Mesquite and Oak, I naturally thought it was an intersection, but my GPS wasn't having anything to do with it and when I googled it up pops the BBQ restaurant! I was taken aback by the wonderful aromas that permeated the entire place. I sampled many of the meats and was flabbergasted by the presentation and flavors. 5 stars and worthy of a 2 hour drive! No shit!
