The Tadich Grill, Slow Hand BBQ, Tay Ho Oakland Restaurant & Bar: Check, Please! Bay Area reviews

Check, Please! Bay Area Season 12 episode 4. With a history as storied as The Tadich Grill in San Francisco, it's hard to resist the classic fish menu... unless you want a steak! But nothing says American cuisine like down-home BBQ and we visit Pleasant Hill and Slow Hand BBQ. Our last stop takes us to Oakland, where Vietnamese street food and handmade rice paper rolls are served at Tay Ho Oakland Restaurant & Bar.

I can confirm about Tadich Grill. It truly was the best cioppino and the best crab cake my wife and I have ever had. The cioppino wasn't too salty or tomato-y. It had all that seafood flavour without tasting too sharp and fishy. Each piece of seafood in it was perfectly cooked, especially the fish which was firm yet so juicy. As of the crab cake, the cooking and sauce were great but the fresh high quality crabmeat really was the star.

I should have read reviews...I went had the trip tip sandwich witch was great lots of meat the sauce was really good had the beans hardly any beans no meat at all I asked about it they added some meat but it was small fatty pieces. Beans not freshly made they were out of a cheap can. I had the picnic potatoes salad it was okay needed salt and pepper badly I just wanted to try it cause I was in the area but it's ad out 5 stars BELOW Armadillos Willeys where at least the beans are fresh made with big chunks of meat,

Just tried Slow Hands BBQ today 11/4/17 and it was garbage food was cooked in oven , nothing to do with bbq shame on you KQED for pumping the restaurant!!!!

Tried it myself several years ago prior to watching this. Reviews on Yelp looked good. Place wasn't really packed buy I feel there is limited BBQ on the eBay. Take your $ elsewhere cause this place is just bad. No BBQ flavor. Worse than a chain.
