Garys Bbq - Walnut Creek

Gary’s bbq is always delicious, very relaxing atmosphere here.

Great bbq. Really knows how to smoke them meats. Takes the extra time and care of the meats, and adopts the low and slow methodology with preparing the meats. Not like those Texas bbqers who churn out their bbq like a McDonald's. Must make requests in advance.

We have tried to walk in serval times and it was not happening.. we arrived early last night randomly out shopping.. got a little table and enjoyed the bbq plate that had ribs and pulled por K and chicken..all very good. Way too much food for 1..get that and share it. The beer can chicken at table next to us looked fun actually -not as messy as you would think and people were sharing using forks and having it in middle . We tried Brussels sprouts and shrimp cocktail . Cole slaw wasn’t amazing..just ok -mayo based. It’s a cool looking blue paneled interior , sultry hip bar and wine cellar area w some good bottles . Nicely done on atmosphere ..incl clean nicely tiled and styled restroom ...place was busy, service very attentive. Really good Defiantly will be back. Enjoyed it and took half of it home to our son who also enjoyed it .

Had lunch here with a group of friends recently, my first time at Bounty Hunter. Nice yet informal atmosphere. We ordered the olive appetizer for the group, and I had a pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich came with fries, which were very good, and couple of small pickles also good and guessing they were made in house. The sandwich itself was fine, and there were three types of BBQ sauce brought out to go on the sandwich. I tried two of them neither had much kick and both were sweeter than I would have preferred. There’s an extensive wine list (a specialty of this place) with a fairly good selection of bottled beer though not many beers on tap. They did have a hazy IPA from Fieldwork on tap, and that was very nice. Service was fine, and the price was somewhat high but probably what you’d expect for downtown Walnut Creek. Overall a good meal if not a particularly memorable one.

The prime rib was a perfect 5. I have been to many steak houses and found this to be the best. Understand that I have very high expectations about service I give it a 4.5. The desert menu was rather uninspiring.
