After hooking up with Pillsbury and his son Doughboy we headed down to what Pillsbury calls the eatin street...lots of options he says. Well, we parked in the big garage there, and walked from about here to there before rankin it down to 3 joints. We couldn't settle on which place so we did rock, paper, scissors, and that didn't work because Doughboy couldn't understand how paper could beat a rock, so..we did odd man out, first with our fingers, then with 3 quarters, and again, Doughboy didn't understand the concept because he says each quarter has the same guy on it..! So I asked him this "If your pants were on fire which of these restaurants would you go to?" He thought about it for about 5 seconds..laughed and said the Firehouse Restaurant! It was my choice all along! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆

Really nice place. I went in kind of early so it wasn't too crowded. Staff is on top of it. Had the waygu burger, it was awesome. Had a great old fashioned. Will definitely go back again!

Great country bar in Downtown San jose. Thursdays are super fun with Line Dancing Lessons with Line Dancing Lisa and dj Shivers. The bbq is great also. I recommend

We had our 40th high school reunion at this venue and it was delightful! The staff was incredible and attentive. They made us all feel young and welcome! We were out on the patio, lovely, and we were able to dance as well. Highly recommend!

I came here about 3:40pm..... very few patrons..... but let me tell you...... omg food..... the fries were good and even better with that little dish of house sauce..... the baked beans are definitely a house recipe if you ask me..... and blend very well with the cornbread..... which was also soft and moist...... and the main attraction? The spare ribs..... I can say this..... a lil bit of paradise in each fall off the bone bite..... o can say I haven't had ribs like these in a long long time.....fantastic job to the cook..... and to the owner..... don't change a thing..... enjoy!!!!!

So I was walking past this place on my lunch break today when I smelt meat being smoked, and the smell was so good that I stopped for lunch. I got the half rack of ribs for lunch with Cole slaw and a Ceaser salad. The Cole slaw was very tasty and was not drenched in sauce and had a good balance to the flavors. The Ceasar was average but tasted good, and the veggies were very fresh in both salads. The star of the dish was the ribs, by far... the meat fell off the bone (literally) as I picked up the ribs, and a butter knife is what I used to cut the ribs apart. The sauce had a very small spice kick to it and was a tasty sauce. I still perfered a dry rub on my ribs, but the sauce here was still very good and flavorful. I will definitely be back because I want to try the brisket next, although it might be hard to pass up on the ribs, they were that good.

Good food and plenty to eat for the price you are paying , brisket was tender and well cooked . As you can see we loved the garlic fries and their house sauce. If you are around San Pedro Square definitely check out this place!!!

Great service and food. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Happy hour specials. Located in the San Pedro Square Market. Parking lot located right next door. Some street parking available. Very cozy. Tv's outdoors. Great Gumbo. Mixed drinks and numerous beers available. Western themed.

The service at the bar was great, as was my old fashioned. My food was alright, nothing to rave about. But the inside of this place is very chill and cozy. I’d come back just because of the ambience.

Good service. But my shrimp carbonara came out too salty. The mixed drinks were delish. The total came out a bit pricey for the quality of the food.

We were able to dine in now that 25 percent is allowed. We were the only one in the restaurant. Everyone was in the patio. We had to fill out a form for the city of San Jose. The service was good. The food was only above average for us. We had the calamari for appetizer. The batter was good but the calamari was a little chewy. We're calamari aficionados so our standard is a little high. I had the pork chop. It was juicy enough, but a little on the bland side. It was also a little small. The wife had the steak. Again it was juicy but a little bland. So it was an above average dining experience.

I was here working for a week and was eating fast food and my body was highly upset about the whole food situation. On our last day in town I found this place with great reviews. Bartender was great and answered all our questions, I finally went with the pork chop. It was easily hands down, the best pork chop I ever had the pleasure of enjoying. Add a old fashioned and I was in a great place to be. Absolutely 🔥. Will definitely return to give the 5 Starz this place deserves. Do yourself a favor and just go!

Old Wagon Saloon & BBQ is a great spot for comfort food and good vibes. The brisket was delicious tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really taste the care that goes into the food. On top of that, Karina the bartender was exceptional. She was super nice, friendly, and very attentive, providing excellent service and making the experience even better. You can tell she genuinely cares about the customers. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back.

We dropped by the Old Wagon Saloon to catch some college football action and enjoy some food and drinks. Seated at the bar, the bartender provided excellent service. We opted for beers and Paloma cocktails. In terms of food, we ordered extra crispy garlic fries, chicken wings with sweet and spicy sauce, the shrimp Louie salad, and an assortment of barbecue meats including ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Our top picks were the wings, pulled pork, and the Shrimp Louie. The Western ambiance added to the chill vibe of the place. Situated adjacent to San Pedro Square, there's a parking structure conveniently across from the restaurant. It's a great spot to watch games, although the TVs at the bar are a bit too high. Your best bet is to sit in the middle of the restaurant to have access to screens on both sides of the walls.

Had an amazing time there, we ordered several appetizers plus drinks (Nachos w/ Brisket, Calamari W/fried green beans and Potatoes Boats) my favorite was the Potatoes Boats...why? Well... Cooked to perfection ( not too saggy or dry) plenty of meats and garnish and the best thing not overly cheese, you can still taste the potato!😍 Our waitress was extremely attentive even though she was quite busy with our patrons! We will return and try other items!

Came here for brunch today and it was OK. I think if they had more staff my review would have been 4 stars. Our waiter seemed as though he was the only waiter working, and unfortunately drink and food did take awhile. That being said I didn’t realize Sunday’s were only the brunch menu and he did tell me the kitchen could accommodate me ordering Mac + cheese. He was very accommodating and I think had he had more time to dedicate to each table it would have been a better overall experience. The food was just OK. I will be back to see how it is in a few months maybe.

We came during happy hours. $10 on selected appetizers, $5 on selected beers/ wines/ cocktails. Their mussels are good! We also ordered the wings, bison burger, calamari, a couple of HH drinks, and our total before tips was $90. Will probably come back for the mussels and try other entrees. Though we will sit at the bar next time, the sit down area was a little loud even though there were not many people inside.

We came here for some dinner and drinks, my Husband and I. The place looked pretty packed and the menu looked good. We decided to try it out. We were not impressed with the food. My Philly had lots of fat in the meat. My husband's steak was not the cut they said it was. However, the cocktail was delicious! And the waiters were very nice.

Nice establishment, the staff was polite an incitefull of the menu. The ambiance was nice as we chose to sit outside an enjoy the San Jose 🌙. The food was an I would definitely be back an recommend.

Vibe’s got that laid-back Western BBQ feel, and the staff keeps it easygoing. But the food? Straight-up Chili’s level. Solid local hangout, just not worth crossing town for.

Yesenia Custodio

Food was very basic. Ordered a Chipotle fried chicken sandwich with cheese and there was no Chipotle to be found. Brisket was bland and looked old...service was okay. Our server was nice but not tentative and did not check in once. Would not come back unless it was just for drinks. Cool vibes inside and out but not a good place for food service

pegerita Keep

The service was well done. The heated up food was so-so. The brisket was dry and dated. I sent it back and it was less dry but still dated.

I've had bbq all around the country...this was one of the worst tasting bbq I've ever had. Tritip looked like it was frozen and then heated up too quickly and tasted like it too...white meat, no rings. They put a sauce on it that tasted like thin gravy, not bbq Brisket was overcooked or tasted like they just added bbq sauce to yesterday's meat. The server was nice, but there was only one other person inside. Cornbread was good. Albondigas soup was good.

Jasmine Magana

Make sure to check your bank account statements because the waiter added a $6 tip to my receipt which my bank credited me back after showing my original receipt. If you want a tip Mario please make sure to do your job and not forget about the order and then you won't have to steal tips from people you think are too drunk to notice.

Gentry Hibbard

Kansas native here.. I knew the risk when I took it but... I was craving BBQ.... Ordered sliced brisket plate with Mac and cheese, baked beans and cornbread. 1. Portion vs price : highway robbery, BBQ is supposed to be that meal that fills you up beyond comfort, this barely put a dent in my hunger. 2. Brisket... Tough, only flavor is freezer, served with a half splat of store bought BBQ sauce. 3. Cornbread... Tastes like flour, it's rubbery, and stale. (Portion is again tiny) 4. Mac and cheese... A step below Stouffer's frozen Mac and cheese. I'm sorry for a poor review, but my disappointment is substantial and this review was earned.

Eric Montemarano

The ribs were absolutely nasty. Undercooked and tough could barley cut them with a knife, not exactly fall off the bone, don't waste your time. Service was good that's about it, the food blows

chad korsgard

I had High hopes for this place. But it fell way short. Food was dry and terrible. It took 40 minutes for my food to come out with a half full restaurant. I got the pulled pork platter it was chewy and pretty sure it was chicken not pulled pork. They serve very small portions. All in all 100% bad experience and dont recommend.

Marcy Castro

Horrible food.. No wonder it was basically empty when we arrived. No chimi churri for the chimi churri chicken and no mention of that until they brought the dry chicken out. Mac and cheese is store bought and you can tell it was microwaved. Ribs were dry and tasteless. $82 down the drain. What a waste. 0/10 recommended

Shaun Voges

My recommendation is to avoid this place and go somewhere else, anywhere else. The food is dog meat at best. Brisket lacked on every level (Thin, dry, covered with a thin, peculiar tasting barbeque sauce), the ribs were extremely over cooked, dry as can be (you can snap the meat in half). The meat (both brisket and ribs) tasted like it was microwaved. The atmosphere (which has incredible potential) and vibe is lacking anything desirable. The service was poor. If you are going to be a waiter/waitress engaging with you customers is key. When someone says they are going to head to the bar to look at the whiskey selection (and you do just that), the next question or engagement should be: "What whiskey can I get you?" I would imagine this also increases the bill which generally increases the tip, (but only if a nice tip is deserved). Zero mention of any whiskey or another recommended beverage. Spend your money and time elsewhere.
