Garys Bbq - Walnut Creek

First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.

Had lunch here with a group of friends recently, my first time at Bounty Hunter. Nice yet informal atmosphere. We ordered the olive appetizer for the group, and I had a pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich came with fries, which were very good, and couple of small pickles also good and guessing they were made in house. The sandwich itself was fine, and there were three types of BBQ sauce brought out to go on the sandwich. I tried two of them neither had much kick and both were sweeter than I would have preferred. There’s an extensive wine list (a specialty of this place) with a fairly good selection of bottled beer though not many beers on tap. They did have a hazy IPA from Fieldwork on tap, and that was very nice. Service was fine, and the price was somewhat high but probably what you’d expect for downtown Walnut Creek. Overall a good meal if not a particularly memorable one.

The prime rib was a perfect 5. I have been to many steak houses and found this to be the best. Understand that I have very high expectations about service I give it a 4.5. The desert menu was rather uninspiring.

Garys BBQ is a great neighborhood hangout. The management is always very friendly and the patio seating is amazing. Basketball and golf for the kids outside and always a good wine selection. One thing’s for sure: Gary knows his meat.

We were in Walnut Creek looking for a quick but good bite, and we found they Bounty Hunter. Ok, so it wasn't so quick, but it was worth the time we spent here. The food was very tasty, and the drinks were too.
