Everett and Jones Barbeque 9211 E 14th Street Oakland, CA - 1973 (C) 2013 Shirley Everett-Dicko
     We are 40 & Fabulous!  2013 marks the 40th Anniversary year of Everett and Jones Barbeque.  Thanks to you our customers we made it to this milestone.
     Thank you even to the customers who gave us a hard time, always wanting extra meat, extra sauce, extra potato salad, extra bread, extra plate etc. . . you know who you are.
     Thank you even to the always late customers who would run up to the door or window of the restaurant after we have closed pounding on the door yelling can I get an order pleaseeeeeeee . . . you know who you are.
     Thank you even to the customers who would call in their orders and ask everybody in the house what did they want; while we held on the phone for 30 minutes . . . you know who you are.
     Thank you even to the customers who would ask for hot sauce on their orders, boasting that they eat hot sauce all the time and then bring it back to us and ask us to wash it off . . . you know who you are.
     Here is a BBQ tip, don’t change.  You have made this journey to 40 memorable.  We thank you for every minute, every second, wouldn't change a thing except maybe that time when . . . oh wait that’s another story.

Congratulations!

We have been in line since 1975 because service is so slow!
