    This locations is not Marty's but Horns BBQ and Matty's are the same own and they have a few of Matty's items on the menu. Walking inside I was greeted by two employees with a simple hello. I love that. The ambiance is nice and chill. It is very clean and smells nice as well. It doesn't smell like a gang of BBQ sauce or smoke will be on your clothes or on your hair when you leave. I order the fish sandwich and fries. This sandwich does not come with slaw or lettuce. I asked if they had lettuce and they said no which was no problem. The fish sandwich and fries were good. Not the best in the West but definitely not nasty. I ate it all, I mean I paid for it lol. When I was eating an employee checked on me asking is everything okay. I took a notice at the BBQ plates coming out and I must say, they look delicious. Yes, I will be back and yes, I will be ordering BBQ next time.

    They reopened as of 4/26/24 in their new location. Never been here before as we were planning to go prior, however the original local burnt down. Run don't walk here!!! Just yum, decadent. Had the long bone beef rib which was sooooo flavorful ($20/lb) Mac n cheese (so cheesy and delish), fries standard and good. Will need to diet now for a week = worth it totally. Yes, highly recommend. Bonus super friendly staff! Next time, brisket (I understand it is what they are know for), Mac n cheese (YES it was that amazing) and try the Cole slaw - get some veggies in as well.

    Pulling up to Horn Barbecue in Oakland, it's always a good sign when you see a line out the door upon opening for the day. With super friendly staff and epic portions of meats & sides to choose from, you really can't go wrong with the array of comforting options! I went with the pulled pork sandwich and a few friends chose meat plates worthy of a hearty appetite. Thick slices of brisket, jalapeño & cheddar sausage, ribs..all so juicy. Sides wise, at the time they just brought out a huge tray of fresh Mac & Cheese and that was bomb and creamy. Other sides to note were the Pit Beans and the Cornbread, which came with this honey drizzle..delicious! You pay for the portions, quality and pit master technique, but with flavor like this, it's all worth it. Coming in on a Saturday, we loved the vibes of a DJ spinning with the weather just right sitting outside. If sitting indoors at the diner~style seating, you can view the squad preparing & getting the brisket ready to go which is a pretty unique thing to watch. All in all, a super cool barbecue experience in the East Bay!

    We stopped by Horn BBQ for lunch today. It was such a treat and way beyond our expectations! I would give it 10 stars if I could! We came by ~11:10 am on a Friday. As It was 10 mins after opening, there was just one party in line before us who already ordered a couple of Pulled Pork sandwiches. The staff member had just pulled out a slab of the BBQ pork, cut it in half, took out a chunk to start pulling the pork apart, putting that onto the bread, and drizzling BBQ sauce all over the pulled pork. I was already drooling in line. What a show and so fun to watch! Then came our turn to order. We ordered 1/2 lb of the Spare Rib, which the staff member had given us a heads-up that 1/2 lb = two ribs. While we also ordered Mac n Cheese and a Cornbread, it felt like we should order more meat to share between the two of us. Sensing we were a bit conflicted about ordering another 1/2 lb of meat, they offered for us to get less than 1/2 lb for our 2nd meat; we picked the brisket, and they cut us a slice to share, and charged us by the weight. They also gave us a sample of the pulled pork so we could try that too! #love The meat was out of this world!!! All three we had were good, and the brisket was my absolute favorite. Spare Rib was good too; it's on the sweeter side and I prefer the more savory, peppery brisket. It's almost like a jerky. You can't go wrong with any of the meat! All three team members we met were super nice. Horn BBQ is a wonderful place I'll be thinking of for a long time to come! Until next time....
