The first time I came here I wasn't impressed as the smoked bbq chicken (light meat) was so dry and flavorless. BUT I love bbq chicken so I decided to give it another try and I'm glad I did! This time I went with the smoked bbq chicken (dark meat) which was significantly better. The meat was incredibly tender, and it had a pleasant smoked taste throughout. I'm usually not a fan of chicken skin but their bbq is so good I had to eat it. As for sides: - I saw on the yelp instagram that their Mac and cheese was rated one of the best in the bay. Personally I wasn't too crazy about it alone but mixed with bbq chicken... amazing!!! - I love their baked beans!!! I thought, how good could beans really be? But they've mastered them. - the potato salad was such a hit! Super refreshing, creamy and flavorful. - for me personally, I would skip the creamed corn next time. It kind of reminded me of just canned corn, so I wasn't really a fan.

Friendly staff and fast service. You order and pick any place to sit. They have a parking lot on the side which is nice. Got 2 meat plate to share and it's enough for 2 people. (Tip: you can ask for tortilla on the side!) beef brisket was soft and flavorful and ofcourse can't go wrong with sausage. The cream corn and Mac and cheese were very tasty as well. I tasted all of the sauces and I liked the spicy one more than the sweet flavors. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

I think this is a really good BBQ spot! I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch time here today. First off, it's located in a hidden area tucked in a corner street. It's easy to just drive by this place without knowing there's actually something here. It's not until you actually see the entrance to this place and once you're inside, it's a whole new place! There's a nice outdoor patio seating area with flat screens, string lights in the ceiling, a craft brewery sitting room, etc. I love the sauce bar which contains different bbq sauces that are inspired by Carolina, Kansas, Texas and of course, theirs. There's tubs of pickled onions, pickles, jalapeños, etc. I really like this! I ordered their brisket and pork tacos, Mac n cheese, hot links, and a cornbread. Their tacos are huge! I thought the brisket was tender and super moist. The meat broke apart nicely. The pork was a bit dry for me and didn't have that nice tender-stringy texture. Both tacos paired perfectly with each sauce. The Mac n cheese was surprisingly just ok? The cheese they use is different (can't explain it) and wasn't my type. It was somewhat creamy but other than that, it was a C-. The hot links were kind of dry and didn't have that spicy bite to it. These links were small bite sizes and just tasted very bland and subtle. I was expecting a thick, hot and spicy, flavored link. The cornbread was pretty good to me. This wasn't overly sweet and held together nicely. It was still moist inside and also had a nice sugary top layer. By the way, my meal literally got delivered right after I ordered! Each of our orders came within under 5 mins. It's like the team is always prepared. This place is worth trying and is an awesome place for all groups. I felt like I was at another restaurant in SoCal or something. I would love to come back and have a beer or two and munch on some tacos! I'll be back!

I wanted Capelos to be great. I had it on my wishlist for a long time considering that it was Yelp 100 barbecue spot and not too far from me. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations, but I absolutely saw why it has fanfare. The restaurant in ambience itself was fantastic. I would definitely hang out here and have some drinks with friends after golf game or just day drink there at their beer garden. They had a live performance happening midday on a Sunday and the vibe was real. The service was fast and it's nice that you could see the people working with the barbecue right behind the register. I'm always conflicted with tips at places like this, where it's counter service, especially given the high price points. OK, so here goes the food. I ordered: -three meat meal with brisket, chicken and hotlink (6/10): I was in the mood for brisket but I found it to be lacking flavor and quite dry. The same is true of the chicken. The hot link was great. The sides were ok. The Mac and Cheese was overly liquidy but had good flavor. The slaw was about what you'd expect. -Dino Rib (10/10): This behemoth was expensive and worth the price. It was a large rib as evident in the name. The rib flavor was fantastic, and the amount of meat was more than was in my whole three meat plate. The sauces were great especially the yellow BBQ sauce. They made the the chicken and brisket more enjoyable but I am one who believes that BBQ should stand alone and should not need sauce, hence the ratings.
