"I was bummed when I left texas for good, never thought I'd ever find good brisket in California and yet, Blake's Place was here all along. The best barbeque Ive had in California by far. Total hole in the wall location but the service and food is amazing. Cannot recommend this place enough. Their spicy barbecue isn't horribly spicy, instead, it's super savory. Cannot wait to come back again and again! :) Thanks for the perfect date night!"

"First time here and WOW! I was impressed! The chicken tortilla soup was delicious, the best I've ever had in a restaurant by far. And the brisket? Home run! Coming from Texas, I'm a bit spoiled when it comes to brisket and it takes a lot to impress me but Blakes was incredible!"
