Emil Villa's Hickory BBQ

We came shortly before closing and had the restaurant to ourselves. The food was very good. Prices seemed a bit high, but then we got our food and the portions are definitely worth the price.

Breakfast is Mid AF…I so wanted for this place to be great! Reasonably priced and large portions. We went for Sunday brunch. The service was good other than the wait. We had to ask for breakfast menus but it was 1:30 pm. We ordered chicken and waffles. The chicken was tough and not very flavorful. It was also slightly undercooked near the bone. The bacon was the thick cut type, which is not my favorite. My boys had the French toast, BBQ Benny and BBQ scramble they thought it was “bomb af.” But overall mid

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 her friendliness and memorable smile❣️

Hadn't been in here for a couple years while the windows were boarded up. Plywood is gone, so we stopped in for breakfast at 10am on a Wed. Only 3 tables occupied. The breakfast & service were great!! Omelettes are not folded omelettes, but scrambles. I had to try the BBQ Pork omelette. It was delicious. Country potatoes were nicely seasoned & perfectly cooked red potato wedges. BBQ sauce on an omelette? I thought I died and went to heaven. Even the sourdough toast was great. Warm & nicely browned. Wood bench seats were a little too firm and bathrooms needed a once over, but all-in-all, a pleasant experience. We'll be back. Give them a try.

Not very good. I ordered the bbq pork loin sandwich. The meat was tender and nicely cooked but completely unsauced and unseasoned. Sauce was served on the side. The roll it was served on was squishy even though toasted on the grill. The "cole slaw" was a plate of undressed, raw grated cabbage and carrots with a container of a sweet, gummy horseradish sauce. In a pinch, you might eat here. I will look elsewhere. The bathrooms are dirty, the vibe is ailing business.
