| - I lived part of my life in Oakland, and so I know good barbecue. Hey, Everett & jones! When I first walked into Frashers, I was a bit cautious: everyone (from the staff to the clientele) is white! Just like you can gauge the authenticity of a Chinese restaurant by how many Chinese people dine there, I feel more reassured with bbq when I see African Americans doing the cooking and eating. But the bbq here is Legit. I ordered both the burnt ends sandwich and the baby back ribs, and the staff assured me it would be enough for a good meal. The burnt ends I wasn't crazy about: more of a novelty item, an acquired taste. A bit tuff and chewy.
But the back back ribs. OH. my. God. The baby back ribs is Hella good. The bbq sauces, which u serve urself, is On Point. What I noticed as a good touch is that Frashers toast their bread on the griddle. Everett & jones just serve wonderbread in a sandwich bag. It's a very nice touch, a solid finish on the execution. And toss in how friendly and nice the staff is, and the very reasonable prices, and Frasher is A WINNER.
