Capelo's Barbecue

First time trying this place and it didn't disappoint! Came on a Friday, they had live music and a very family friendly environment. We ordered the large family meal (6-8ppl) and it fed 6 adults and a child just fine. I will say at first I was concerned about the amount being enough so I did add an extra 1/2 chicken and 1/2lb of hot link. Ended up being more than enough and 3 people got lunch for the next day! :)Brisket was so soft and juicy, the ribs are tasty and fall off the bone, and their links are perfect! My favorite were the hot links (vs. the jalapeno). Corn bread is good, and the Mac & cheese very rich. They have the perfect bbq ambience- a big outdoor covered patio, but note their "indoor" seating is on high stools, so bot ideal for small children. There's small overhead heaters throughout, but still pretty chilly on a cold night. Service was quick. You order at the front and take a number. Good gets to you fast and everyone was overall very friendly.

Meat!! It's definitely the star of the show. Our adventure began with a Pulled Pork Sandwich, followed by Brisket Tacos. The pulled pork was my favorite - it was smoking hot and juicy, and paired perfectly with the slaw. The brisket on the tacos was also juicy, but the tortillas took away from the meat experience. They were too thick and would be better as corn tortillas. However, the condiment bar was a highlight, featuring four different BBQ sauces, jalapeños, pickled onions, and dill pickles.The sides were alright. The cilantro peanut slaw needed more cilantro and peanuts, and the mac and cheese, while cheesy, was quite bland. I wouldn't order those sides again.The bar was amazing, located separately from where you order food. They offer a wide selection of beers on tap and in bottles. The bartender was super helpful, letting us sample a few beers before making our choices.The staff were very friendly and assisted us in choosing our meal since it was our first time at the restaurant. The food came out quickly, even before we had settled on our drinks. There's ample indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor area being covered. The restaurant is decorated nicely, and the murals on the building's exterior added to the overall experience.

I've come here a few times. The meat is very good. I like the brisket the most paired with Kaleslaw. At least, you feel like you don't eat too much meat. The service was very quick on weekdays. My order was half Brisket and Pork Ribs with 2 sides. The order came out $37 tip included. It was affordable for 2 people sharing one order. It has an open bar with many selections of beer. It is a pretty chilled place to hang out with friends.Btw, Brisket is selling fast on weekends.

First time here, and I can already tell this is going to be one of my favorite spots on the Peninsula. When I pulled into the parking lot, I saw someone actually chopping wood for the cookers--now that's authentic Texan barbecue! Finding this level of barbecue along the Peninsula, or even across the Bay, is rare, so I'm thrilled to have discovered this place.I stopped in on a Saturday for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the comprehensive barbecue menu. I opted for the 3-meat plate (with two sides): brisket, Louisiana sausages, and pork ribs. Everything was perfectly cooked--succulent, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. While the proteins were outstanding, the sauces deserve just as much praise. The "Capeliente" was a standout; I loved it so much I went back for a second cup. The DiabloXX (smoked habanero and jalapeño peppers with ghost pepper extract) had a nice spicy kick, but it wasn't overwhelmingly hot, which I appreciated. I also tried the Porklicious South Carolina Mustard and Sweet Kansas sauces, but the Capeliente and DiabloXX were my favorites.The sides were classic barbecue staples, rounding out a complete and satisfying meal. The venue offers plenty of parking, along with indoor and outdoor dining areas and a bar. I'll definitely be coming back for more very soon!

Brisket is melty goodness. Definitely order it. And the spicy BBQ sauce.The ribs were tender but I think it comes down to me not preferring smoked ribs, but if that's your thing you'll love them. The sides are alright but I think everyone comes in for the proteins. I got the kale slaw, for nutritional balance Had friendly interactions with all of the staff. The service is quick; I was pleasantly surprised even with it being as busy as it was. There's lot of seating and on the night I stopped in, there was a live band (score!)

Capelo's Barbeque serves high quality BBQ. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The BBQ ribs was well seasoned, and there was a sauce station. I tried all of the sauces, and I enjoyed the spicy BBQ sauce the most. The BBQ chicken had meat sliding off the bone.The staff was friendly and helpful as well.There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. At the outdoor dining area, you can see the big meat smokers, and the dining area is well-decorated. The manager came by and told us to come on Friday and Saturday nights for some live music performances. The schedule for that is posted on their website.Overall, I would say that Capelo's is one of the best BBQ restaurants in the Bay Area.

Everything one would expect from a BBQ style restaurant. Great indoor/outdoor venue with music and sports theme atmosphere. Good selection of traditional and unique micro brews.

12 stars!! The best most tender BBQ Here! Great sauces, pick the flavor and amount of heat!! Food is great, love the cilantro peanut slaw and potato salad. Always try to pick 1 side ... but fail. There is never room for dessert but I bit the Key Lime pie is divine! YUM

Best BBQ in town. We had Capelo's cater my sister in law graduation party last year and the food was a hit. Food was on point and fresh made to order. Tasted even better with cold beers. Highly recommend for anyone craving Texas style BBQ.

The food was pretty good. Two days ago, I went for the first time and the food was delicious. Definitely I will return. I Highly recommend this place.
