Reviews for Emil Villa's Hickory BBQ in San Leandro, CA

This place has steadily gone downhill over the past ten years. Crying shame because this place used to be the BBQ place to go to... from all over the bay area. Read more

Pork barbecue was dry like it was made yesterday and hollandaise sauce was from a package not homemade. But pancake was... delicious. Read more

The Pecans waffle was delicious. The bacon was also very good. The eggs were cooked The way I like. The hash browns were okay.

Ours closed, so when I'm in San Leandro, I love to stop! It's a great place to eat delicious meals for a reasonable price. How... many places does the cook come out to talk with you?? I love the food, but my waitress really brightened my day with herfriendliness and memorable smile?? Read more

Great old style diner feel. Food is delicious, portions generous, simple menu. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Menu has... changed a bit. Some items are still available but not listed. For instance they have waffles but they aren't on the menu. Theirbacon is thick and crunchy. They do have a kids menu available for 12 and under. Crayons and coloring menu mat no longeroffered. Two children can probably share one item. Recommend the Emil's special omelette, the brisket and french toast. Read more

Haven?t been here in a while. Went there with some friends to watch the super bowl. They?ve re-done everything and it?s amazing.... They have a bunch of TVs and a big section for events or big parties. Food was amazing. They?re wings were fire and the ultimateburger with onion rings was really good. Servers were awesome even though they were super busy. Going back soon! Read more

Food was delicious, got the family rib meal with salad & french fries. Ribs were meaty and perfect, fresh smoked, fried we... prefect crispy, green salad was very cold and crisp. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, excellent customer service! We have been coming here for over 20yrs, hope to continue to return for many more years to come. Read more

After a bad stomach aid realized why this place was almost empty, the only good thing we're my links and Garlic/Parmesan fries.... Look at the color of the backed potatoe, horrible birthday dinner. Read more
