   There was no hostess at the front door as we entered. We waited a minute. Then I went to the bar. No one there. Then walked into the dining area and found a waitress that evidently was working waitress and hostess. Kinda ridiculous I had to go find someone to be seated. The food was decent except the meats were a little overcooked and the corn was gross. Was mushy and tasted like it was sitting in hot water for 10 hours. Definitely not fresh and EXTREMELY overcooked. As much as I love corn, it was trash. Threw it away.

   I made a reservation which was bogus because they said they were not excepting them but the open table sight showed that they were allowing reservations so I made one And upon arrival I was turned down and told my reservation wasn’t gonna be granted for the night and if I wanted to Waite for a two hour Waite instead of offering me a more convenient wait time for something that was not my fault clearly they didn’t stipulate when making reservation you can only make them on certain days.

   Excellent! Try it yourself and find out! I live in South Bay and would like to try the San Jose very soon. The food is not salty and just right! I don't feel any dizziness after eating due to too much of MSG. We ordered the All American Feast $85, I think it's all worth it to travel to East Bay

   Good bbq food and sauces. Our group tried a variety of meats and salads. Smoked turkey breast was good. Please add a new side dish, sweet potato fries! We were seated right away on a Friday night. Staff is very nice and helpful.

   Large portions and delicious fare at Famous Dave's. Glad I finally found a good BBQ joint in Hayward. Family friendly too. Large menu...many options. The ribs were succulent, tender and yummy.

    The food is so good! There is one Lady that takes you to your table and she has really poor customer service. She never seems happy! Other than this lady this place is a great place. The servers are awesome!!
