Love, Curiousity, Obsession, are just a few words to describe BERNAL BBQ. Bernal BBQ LLC originated and was created in San Francisco's most special neighborhood, Bernal Height's. Inspired as a child by Beatrice "B" McCoy, Chef Frankie’s grandmother on his fathers side of African American decent by way of Arkansas as she migrated to the San Francisco, Bay Area in search of jobs during the war. Beatrice McCoy was recognized as arguably the best cook in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood where Chef Frankie’s father grew up.

There's also Mary Soares Barboza/McCoy who grew up in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood of Cape Verde/Portuguese decent and Chef Frankie’s mother. Mary was taught and mentored by Beatrice McCoy in the arena of Soul food and baking. Both Women inspired Chef Frankie through example, love, kinship & knowledge to bring you what is now become Bernal BBQ. The flavors, the spices, the excellent choice of ingredients, It's not just good bbq with great sides and delicious desserts. It's a good experience.

And it's good, It's real good
