Breakwater Barbecue
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Breakwater Barbecue smokes everything over wood and sells out doing it.
Breakwater is a smoked-meat market and barbecue joint on the Cabrillo Highway in El Granada, on the San Mateo coast. The rule is simple — all wood, no gas, first come first served — and the meat moves fast enough that pre-ordering is the sensible move. A working coast-side pit, not a scene.
