For dinner, I went to KC Barb-Q in Berkeley. It was pretty late by the time we got there (around 9pm) and unfortunately, they ran out of brisket. :( Whenever I go to barbecue restaurants, I always get brisket. They had chicken, ribs and sausage left. I rarely get ribs because I don't like eating off the bone, unless it literally falls off. So, my only choices were chicken and sausage, which I got a combo to split with Jason.
The place is super cute and vintage with antiques everywhere. From old pianos, antique ovens and crates to the smallest detail of pictures, teacups and lights. So cute and full of history.
The food on the other hand, wasn't as impressive as the ambiance. I mean, it's OK, but it wasn't amazing (the users on Yelp are highly disagreeing with me right now - haha). The sauce was way too sweet and there wasn't any kick of spice to it. It just tasted like ketchup. The meat wasn't charred or have that smokey flavor. It was literally already cooked meat with sauce slapped on top. There wasn't a unison between the meat and sauce.
The beans were tasted like canned beans, nothing special. The potato salad was OK.
Overall, from this meal, I would not go back. But since they didn't have any more brisket at the time, I'm intrigued and willing to give it another round.
