We wanted to create a place where diners can eat delicious comfort food made with locally farmed fresh ingredients and enjoy the beautiful California weather. So, we did, and we call it the Smoke Shack, located at plank in Jack London Square.
This BBQ shack is where food and fun join together to create an experience anyone can enjoy with their family and friends.
BBQ Shack Menu
We set out to create the best BBQ in Oakland, and nothing less would do. Our plates and handhelds come with classic sides, ensuring each one has something special to keep you coming back.
