"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

"You absolutely cannot visit Oakland without a stop at Everett and Jones BBQ. Located in Jack London Square, and with the San Francisco skyline as a backdrop, E&J has the best BBQ in town. Go with a large group on Saturday night to hear live Blues as you pass around heaping orders of sliced beef brisket, smoked pork ribs, collard greens, candied yams, and macaroni and cheese. Be prepared to get your hands dirty." - ByRyan Walker-Hartshorn

"In response to an incident in which a white woman called the police on a group of black Oakland residents gathered at a barbecue, a group of Oakland residents organized a much larger barbecue that was held yesterday in the same Lake Merritt spot. Large numbers of Oaklanders showed up in support, with free food provided by local vendors like... Everett and Jones BBQ." - Caleb Pershan
