Garys Bbq - Walnut Creek

Garys BBQ is a great neighborhood hangout. The management is always very friendly and the patio seating is amazing. Basketball and golf for the kids outside and always a good wine selection. One thing’s for sure: Gary knows his meat.

We were in Walnut Creek looking for a quick but good bite, and we found they Bounty Hunter. Ok, so it wasn't so quick, but it was worth the time we spent here. The food was very tasty, and the drinks were too.

First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.

Gary’s bbq is always delicious, very relaxing atmosphere here.

Great bbq. Really knows how to smoke them meats. Takes the extra time and care of the meats, and adopts the low and slow methodology with preparing the meats. Not like those Texas bbqers who churn out their bbq like a McDonald's. Must make requests in advance.
