Tommy's BBQ Company — Restaurant in Hercules

It's our first time here.   We found this place on tiktok.  The place has a pretty chill vibe.   For a Saturday morning/ afternoon when the opened it wasn't a crazy long line. They have a lot of items that I didn't see online.   One was the beef rib which they only have Friday and Saturday.  The other one was desserts like key lime pie and banana pudding cheesecake. DJ was the person who took my order and helped me.   He was super nice and gave me some recommendations.   Service was fast and easy.   While I waited for my order you can see someone cutting the meats for each order.  I thought it was pretty cool to see.   My order was ready within 5-10 minutes.  It was well packed and handed with care. We ordered:

Brisket tacos - $9 taco was kind of pricy but it's worth a try.   It was a pretty big size and a nice starter to the meal.   We ate this prior to the ride back home.   The crunch from the cilantro lime slaw, picked onions, and brisket was perfect.   I think it would have been even better if they chopped up the brisket instead of one whole slice.  You kind of just end up with a salad on top.  I recommend trying it and I will definitely have this again when I come back.

1lb brisket- They didn't ask what cut I wanted, if it was lean or fatty.  This was deliciously fall apart tender.

Beef rib plate w/ mac n cheese & corn -  I love the juicy dino rib.  Mac and cheese was perfect.  I liked that the corn was buttery and garlicky.

Chicken plate w/ mac n cheese & potato salad - Chicken was nice and juicy.   Potato salad wasn't bad.   I liked that it was simple and has nice sized chunks of potatoes.

Key lime pie - Filling was good, the tartness was on point.  The crust was just off.   It didn't compliment the key lime filling.  It wasn't a crumbly graham cracker crust.  I don't know how to explain it.

Banana pudding cheesecake - I was excited to try this but sadly I we disappointed.  It tasted like banana pudding but I couldn't taste the cheesecake.  It tasted more like a hard whipped cream on a cake or something.   The crust was delicious.

I definitely recommend the meats and sides.  No complaints on my end.  I leave it up to you to try the desserts.   Let me know how you like it.  I'll...

Tommy’s BBQ Company – Fantastic Takeout Experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We ordered takeout from Tommy’s BBQ Company at 1611 Sycamore Ave in Hercules, and it was absolutely amazing! Everything was delivered hot, fresh, and packed with care—you can tell these folks cook with love and pride.

Let’s start with the sides. The collard greens had a slight zesty kick that was just right—totally satisfying. The coleslaw was equally delicious, with a lightly sweet flavor and the perfect crunchy texture. Both paired wonderfully with the main dishes.

Now, the meat… oh man! It was so tender it literally fell apart with ease. Every bite was flavorful, and the BBQ sauce might just be one of the best we’ve ever had. It brought everything together perfectly.

The delivery was smooth, and the packaging was thoughtfully done, keeping everything fresh and ready to enjoy. We’re already looking forward to ordering from them again. If you’re craving great BBQ, Tommy’s BBQ Company should definitely be on your list. You won’t regret it!

Thanks for the delicious meal and...

After moving to the Bay from South Carolina, I was so excited to finally have some good bbq again…unfortunately this ain’t it. Got one pulled pork sandwich & two sides which cost $34 (incl. tip, no drink)

Meats: Don’t seem to be smoked on-site

Sides: Slaw was okay but the mac & cheese was really basic and a letdown. Small portions

Drinks: No sweet tea, and no self-respecting bbq place down South would forget about sweet tea

Sauces: No sauce options. No mustard-based sauce, no Bama white sauce or NC vinegar base, Just what the cashier said was one tomato-base. (Sure didn’t taste like a Georgia tomato base bbq sauce though) They don’t give extra sauces with the sandwich & wouldn’t have been worth it since it wasn’t a great sauce anyways

Service & Vibe: Cashier was nice, vibe was okay with one tv loudly playing country music

Overall I wish I liked it, but it really was a letdown when I wanted a taste of some bbq that reminded me of the South and really expensive for...
