If you could have one last soul food dinner, you should choose E&J. Opening in 1973, succeeding generations of the family have carried on and spread the 'cue throughout the East Bay. (Their signature Super-Que barbecue sauce is in such high demand that the restaurant bottles it for retail and online purchasing.) The family specialty is brisket, but you won't be unhappy with the ribs, the potato salad, the sweet-potato pie and the lemonade. The heart of the room is the grill, barbecue smokers and prep area, and a small corner is reserved for a blues combo to play on the weekends. On Friday and Saturday, they serve everyone who arrives by midnight, and soul food fans can always get it to-go.
