"A chain barbecue restaurant was approved in a February 2025 vote to open on Jefferson Street as well, representing another new entry intended to help revive the dining scene along the tourist corridor following earlier pandemic-era closures." - Paolo Bicchieri
"An Oakland classic since 1973, family-owned and -operated Everett & Jones continues to serve its usual slate of ribs, brisket, and links. Stop in at one of the restaurant’s other locations on MacArthur and in Antioch." - Eater Staff
"An Oakland classic since 1973, family-owned and -operated Everett & Jones continues to serve its usual slate of ribs, brisket, and links. Stop in at one of the restaurant’s Oakland locations either in Jack London or the Laurel, or its Berkeley location on San Pablo." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"An Oakland institution since 1973, Everett & Jones is still serving ribs, brisket, and most famously, beef links. Sadly, the restaurant’s matriarch and owner, Dorothy King, died in March 2021, but granddaughter Dorcia White is maintaining her legacy with the family’s three locations across Oakland and Berkeley." - Dianne de Guzman, Caleb Pershan
"Conceived as a community response to a widely publicized 2018 incident when a white woman called the police on a group of Black Oakland residents for having a legal barbecue near Lake Merritt, I describe BBQ’n While Black as an annual event co-founded by Jhamel Robinson that uses food as a medium to bring Black folks in Oakland together; a couple of weeks after that 2018 incident the community turned out in force—probably thousands—to throw meat on the grill, play music, and enjoy one another’s company. This year the group is staging “An Unapologetic Juneteenth Celebration” to offer the Black community a “rest day” for healing and gathering (June 20, 2–5 p.m.), with pandemic precautions in place: face masks will be mandatory and participants are discouraged from cooking on-site, though Robinson expects some people may still bring grills to pass out free food." - Luke Tsai
