The original Everett and Jones on Broadway in Oakland gives customers a taste of the South with oversized plates of slow-cooked barbecue, plus two different music venues featuring live blues, R&B and jazz. At Q’s Lounge, diners can listen to contemporary jazz and neo-soul in a sleek atmosphere. And at the more casual Dotha’s Juke Joint — named after owner Dorothy Everett King — patrons sit at picnic tables and tap their feet to blues favorites. Both clubs are adjacent to the crowded restaurant where TVs and stereos blare. Beef brisket is dripping with marinade, served with yams, potato salad, greens, coleslaw, baked beans or cornbread. Other meats include spicy beef sausage links, smoked chicken and an entire slab of pork ribs — enough to feed three to four diners. Combination plates allow big appetites to choose several different meats and sides. Lunch offers a few lighter options with a green salad topped with smoked chicken, in addition to the meaty favorites available at dinner. Dessert offers individual-sized pies such as sweet potato, pecan and peach, and interesting drinks (including the Saucey Sistah Ale) keep patrons lingering at the bar after their meals. There are a few other Everett and Jones around the Bay Area, all owned by family members, but only the original Oakland location offers live music. Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily. Voted Best Barbecue in the 2009 East Bay Express and 2009 Oakland magazine readers' polls.
