Red Smoke Grill

Jim Painter and Ken Hinshaw bring more than 30 years of experience to their concept restaurant here in Pleasanton. From Tri-tip to pulled pork, to the ribs so tender the meat literally falls off the bone, it's the perfect casual dining experience!

Chef Ken buys all-natural chickens, choice tri-tip, and tender pork which all serve as the main ingredients for most of our entrees.

The partners created a unique, point-of-difference menu that is both affordable and quick to execute. The concept has aspects of "Santa Maria Barbecue" with entrees such as the Red Smoke Original Tri-Tip Sandwich with fresh hand-cut salsa and a side item of Pinquinto Beans. Santa Maria Barbecue is a Central California style of cooking over indigenous red oak that was developed during cattle drives in that region of the country many years ago. Our deliciously-unique entrees also include the Tri-Tip and Blue Sandwich made with tri-tip, horseradish sauce, caramelized onions and blue cheese crumbles.

Serving lunch and dinner daily! Dine-in or carry-out.

We welcome you to a unique California barbecue - Red Smoke!
