Pete's Barbeque

Best Rotisserie

by newguysfo at Citysearch

I like to go for lunch. I've been a regular for many years now so they know that I'm coming in to order the 1/4 chicken special. You get a choice of breast or leg quarter, then a baked potato and you can put either butter or bbq sauce on the baked potato and then a choice of some salad, like potato salad, green salad or beet salad or beens or garbanzo beans or cole slaw, you get the idea. To top it off, as if that's not enough, they give a roll. Hey, it's a good deal.

• Pros: fresh food, served as quickly as possible
• Cons: so busy at lunch, sometimes no seats or you can sit at the counter or share a table

Best value in Rotisserie

by thenewguy at Citysearch

A previous reviewer was right when he says it's not a true barbque. The sauce is bar-b-que sauce, very nice. But it is something better than a BBQ, it is the best rotisserie around. Chicken, turkey, ribs, ham, roast beef. Pete himself will carve generous portions for a "dinner plate." or a sandwich. The dinners also include a rotisserie made "baked potato" and choice of salad and bread... ask for the french roll with butter. What a value! I always make two meals out of it, especially the turkey dinner which can have a combo of juicy white and dark meat.

I've been eating here for 20 years as of 2006 and I've never been disappointed, and the staff remembers me and treats me well. They will to you too.

• Pros: great rotisserie, fresh chicken
• Cons: none

just cheap eats

by mason_wong at Citysearch

Not a true BBQ joint. The ribs have no smoke flavor. It's more of a half decent, cheap eats, carved turkey sandwich, haufbrau kind of place. The pork spareribs had an interesting pseudo-crackling seasoned crust. The sauce had a mild kick, in a Mexican hot sauce sort of way, not really a traditional BBQ sauce from any of the major U.S. BBQ regions. Baked potato was served with a huge spoonful of margarine. Good value for a spareribs joint.
