I happen to be in the area on Labor Day and was craving some BBQ. A local citizen of this area mentioned that this place had the best BBQ in the area. So instead of heading back to Oakland, I decided to test it out. When I arrived, I realized that this was the same restaurant that had signature BBQ sauces in the supermarket (s). I've even purchased their sauce in the past. So I was delighted to try their food. I got the two piece meat (pork ribs - extremely delicious...meet was tender and fell off the bones when eating -- and the chicken. It was tasty). For my sides I got Mac and cheese (delicious-- it had chunks of beacon in it) And potato salad (just mediocre). It's also extremely spacious inside. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is because they only serve beef brisket on Thursdays and that's normally what I always try at BBQ restaurants. All in all, it's a great BBQ place to check out if you're in the area.
Hands down the best barbecue in the bay. If you haven’t been here, you need to try it. Staff is friendly. The sauces are fire. Try the french fries they’re so delicious. The menu is a little confusing at first but just go and do yourself a favor and get the two way. You won’t regret it.
For being outside Texas it was quite good. Counter service was good
Had their three meat plate and it was perfect. Usually with BBQ places the chicken is an afterthought but Kinders does a really good job on their chicken.
This is my first time having a team lunch here with my son soccer team! It’s a new set up and food for me! We ordered three ways that means we can get to choose 3 different meats, we choose smoke marinated chicken, rib and smoke tequila lime chicken. Little bit salt but it’s good tho! I also order protein ball for myself during diet weekend! In general it’s good food place to hang out!
Kinder’s in Concord is hands down one of the best spots for BBQ and deli options. Their ball tip sandwich is a must-try—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The ribs and pulled pork are just as incredible, with that perfect smoky taste. But beyond the BBQ, their deli selection is just as impressive. They offer a variety of fresh, made-to-order sandwiches with high-quality meats and toppings. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic turkey and avocado or a hearty pastrami on sourdough, they’ve got something for everyone. The service here is always friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. The staff makes sure your order is just right and gets it to you quickly. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and the flavors are always on point. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick lunch, grabbing takeout for dinner, or catering for an event, Kinder’s delivers every time. Highly recommend this spot for both BBQ lovers and sandwich fans alike!
The staff was friendly and helpful, and the store/restaurant was clean and well organized. The meat and side selections were vast. Everything I had was excellent. I would highly recommend buying your meat from this place. The vibe of the crowd was very excited and happy. I will definitely be back. I would highly recommend eating at this establishment.
My husband and I love Kinders! We literally come here weekly. He gets the loaded tots (customized) and I get the cali chicken club sandwich (delicious!). The fries with just salt are amazing as well. I definitely appreciate that they are cooked in tallow, and not seed oils! The fry sauce is literally the most delicious sauce ever. Besides the food being great, Stephanie is hands down the best!! And the ONLY person we will order with. She is welcoming, friendly, attentive, gives great suggestions, and makes our meals the best. Her customer service is exceptional. Its very apparent that she cares about her job and goes above and beyond. That is extremely rare to see nowadays, especially in a customer service type of setting. She deserves to be recognized for all of her hardwork and being a great asset to the company. She deserves a raise!!!
