I liked the Flint's BBQ in Oakland, CA. I used to go there about 10 years ago and it was right across the street from Nik-Nak Liquors, so you could get your BBQ and pick up a 40 at the same time. Only problem was that the area wasn't that good, so you'd need to go somewhere else to have your BBQ and King Cobra.

Flint's, unfortunately closed down. Rumor has it that they had a roach problem, but I never saw one. I figured the two dobermans they had chained up in the back took care of any roaches that might have been there.

Everett & Jones in Berkeley is OK. Closest one to me now is the Texas Smokestack BBQ in San Jose, CA.

But nothing beats Flint's.
