"I stopped ordering from E&J a few years ago since the quality of their ribs had really gone downhill. I decided to give them another try tonight however and boy am I ever so glad I did. First off the lunch size rib plate is a perfect size meal for me. Although I ordered it at 7 pm I really couldn't eat the whole meal. I think I got 5 delicious, juicy ribs , some potato salad and 2 slices of whole wheat bread. The ribs were cooked to perfection and the barbecue sauce (mild) was perfect for me. Also perfect was the $23 price tag which I found to be more than fair. I'd say I got great value but could have ordered the $36 dinner meal that comes with 2 sides and cornbread. I can't even imagine eating any more than what I got and I couldn't even eat all of my lunch size! I'm glad someone in the kitchen took my complaints seriously last couple of times I ordered. It was obvious that someone paid attention and good ole Evrette & Jones on MacArthur is back and ready to blow your socks off! Thanks so much. I will be back again soon."
"This is by far the best brisket I have ever had. Super super tender and so are the links and the beans and yams are exceptional very happy with my meal tonight! Thank you so much!!"

"Food is good. Mac n 8oz. Mac & Cheese a little on the high side for so little. But it was tasty and I will order again. Rib & Chicken meat was tender and not over sauced. Delicious."
"I was very disappointed with my first experience. The meats were dry and had very little sauce—I actually had to add Kinder’s BBQ sauce when I got home. The mac and cheese and yams were both lacking flavor, and the yams didn’t even have the syrup or juice that usually comes with them. My wheat bread was also missing from the order. Very small portion for the price. There were 4 slices of beef, and 2 ribs with 2 knuckles???. Overall, the meal did not meet my expectations, especially for a first visit. I hope this was just an off day."

"Flavorful. Excellent portion sizes. The lemonade looks great, but, the lid was exposed. The cabbage and sausage side was just right. The beans, the yams, the rice and gravy, all very good. Overall, my selections and portion sizes were proportional for the price. The food was piping hot. The New 7up Lemon Cake I sampled was good too. Leftovers tomorrow! Muah!"
"BBQ Ribs Special came with ONLY 2 ribs and then ,of course, 2 sides. Ribs were seasoned with a similar texture of baked ribs and BBQ sauce glaze. Texture was more on the non tender side, but I typically prefer this. Side dishes: Greens- flavorful, and prepared with smoked turkey or pork meat. Cabbages were seasoned good and prepared with powdered seasoning minced garlic and chopped onions. Handmade Lemonade was disgusting with an over powering taste of lemon Zest and high amount pulp, lacked sweetener. Main dish is overpriced for the serving size but tasted ok. "

"Best Pakistani food in the Bay Area. Food is flavorful and spicy, with plenty of different meat options you can choose from. Highly recommend the Chicken Malai Boti - delicious, juicy, and soft. The flavors were well marinated and cannot be found at other restaurants. A treat at the end was the mango ice cream kulfi and authentic halwa deserts. An excellent addition to our meal, and kept the kids happy too. Service was excellent as usual, and inside has a pleasant, comfortable seating area as well."
"Chicken Tikka Roll wasn't worth the money... each roll is priced almost equivalent to that of a biryani. The chicken quantity was very less. Also, their so called "special paratha" used in the roll is nothing but Bhatura (bread from the combo of Chhole/Chana Bhatura dish) which was a disaster in itself - super thick, uncooked n deeply soaked in oil!!
