    Just my opinion, but E&J's doesn't compare. Flints, at least before they closed last time (I hafven't been back since the re-opening.) was probably the best BBQ I've ever had.

      For me it is all about Flints. This probably doesnt help my opinion but I was at EJ's one day and some car drove by and shot the whole corner up. They ended up shooting one guy in the leg who was like 15 feet away from me. That may influence myopinion a little bit.

    E&J's on Fruitvale is practically next door, so haven't been to Flint's for a while.
    I often get the links.

      This past Friday I was in Hayward. So I went to E & J's on A st.

      Had a Beef & Link Combo. Med. Sauce. $16.00 w/tax.

      Not bad if you are REALLY hungry.

      Flints still rules.........................

    I used to be all about Flints! But E and J is cool too. But if you make it to Southern Alameda County, yah gotta try Souther Heritage Barbecue in Fremont's Irvington district, that place is as good or better than Flints and E and J's.

    Hey, as a newbie to the EB, would you mind sharing the full name/location info to these places? Do they have any vegetarian food?
    Best.

      I have had Bo's a few times. Its ok, but with all due respect, its minor league compared to Flints, Dougs, Souther Heritage or E and Js.

        Never had the others...but have had E&Js and wasnt overly impressed. But maybe I need to go back...sounds like a good excuse.

        Oakland needs to start a BBQ crawl..
