Review: Everett & Jones (Oakland, California)
Was in Oakland the other day on business and when I stepped out of the office building I was in and saw the Everett & Jones BBQ Restaurant I knew where lunch was going to be. I’ve heard about Everett & Jones for years, but never made the trek out to try them. So I was pleased to see that I was right there.
Lots of hype. And the experience lived up to the hype.
I ordered the Brisket Plate with corn bread and greens. And all of it was fantastic. I made sure I ordered the sauce on the side so that I could check out the meat before I ate it. Nice smoke aroma, awesome bark and fantastic smoke ring. The brisket was moist, tender and not to fatty. It may have been the best restaurant brisket I’ve ever had.
The greens were fantastic. Not all mushy like a lot of restaurant greens are. They were firm and had a great flavor.
And corn bread:
I’ll be going back every time I visit my client. Awesome job all the way around. Great food, great service and great atmosphere.
