This spot is a hidden gem for BBQ lovers, tucked inside Garlic World. Reviewers consistently rave about the brisket and tri-tip sandwiches, often calling it some of the best BBQ they've had. It's a great stop for a casual meal with outdoor seating, especially if you're traveling along Highway 101.
Stopped at the Garlic store on our way back home from Monterey and found Mikes BBQ spot too. The food is delicious and Mike is super kind. We had the tri tip sandwhich and the pulled pork sandwhich with baked beans and Cole slaw. Their garlic bread was absolutely delicious and we wanted to take a loaf home! The baked beans were sweet and balanced the trip tip.
Our favorite BBQ sauce from the trio they give you was the Hickory BBQ, it’s Smokey and sweet! Absolutely amazing!

AWESOME brisket sandwich!
Fast service. Since it is along side 101 the seating area is noisy, otherwise it is fine.
Going to be a new stopping place for us coming north.

We found the place by chance and since it was Sunday they had brisket! Delicious food, fast and friendly service and a ton of things to buy in the Garlic World store (also non-garlic related).
I had the 3-meat patteri with chicken, ribs and brisket. The brisket was definitely the highlight!!
