OPENING SOON

Something Real is coming to Lafayette.

We’re Mt.Diablo BBQ.  A family-run business that’s passionate about crafting authentic American BBQ.

We’re not here to be just another restaurant. We’re here to be your spot. A place that feels like the community around it, where people come together over great food and even better company. Every guest who walks through our doors deserves a world-class plate and a memory worth keeping. That’s not just what we do – it’s why we do it.

Hang tight. We’ll see you soon.

  • We Sell Out!

    Our cooking process is slow – it takes time and patience.  You can always call ahead to reserve your favorite barbeque.

  • Quality Meats

    We proudly source our beef from Harris Ranch, right here in California. Our pork and chicken are carefully selected for quality and freshness – because what goes on the pit matters just as much as what comes off it.

  • Real Smoke

    We only use California Oak, and try to source naturally fallen trees. We never use propane or starter fluid.  Just wood, fire, and time – the way it’s always been done.

Real Smoked Values

  • Stay Real

    Real. It’s in our name. It’s not only how we prepare our smoked barbeque, but how we live our lives. Real, authentic barbeque methods. Real smiles on our faces. It’s just who we are.

  • We're All Family

    Family isn’t just about blood. It’s about that warm smile you’ve been waiting to see all day. It’s about always having a seat at the table, and knowing what someone wants before they even have to ask. Family is caring for one another, not because we have to but because we want to.

  • Be Passionate

    If you’re going to do something, you might as well put your heart and soul into it – let it seep through your veins and consume your thoughts. We want every person who walks through our doors to feel our passion for smoked barbeque, craft beers, and simply putting smiles on people’s faces.

To be loved by our people and community for generations.

To delight every guest with world-class barbeque and a memorable experience, one meal at a time.
