Say "hey" to your dad for me. He's a great guy and I'm glad he liked the cobbler (it's my favorite dessert, too)! Dave
"Delicious and authentic Texas bbq! I tried the brisket, pulled pork, chicken, salad, rolls and bbq sauce. Dave, the owner, delivered the food, set it up, stayed at our event (nice guy- good addition to our party) and even brought to-go containers for our leftovers. The bbq was tender and well seasoned. The pulled pork was my favorite. I'd love to try his peach cobbler and cornbread. We washed all this down with Shiner Bock. Dave's prices are very good also and he has a fairly low minimum order amount. I recommend Bonehead's BBQ!" Stephanie N., San Francisco, CA Hey Stephanie, this was a fun event. Great to see and meet a bunch o' folks from Texas and to have Shiner Bock again! Thanks folr these kind words about my "Q" and me - that was a real surprise! Next time, let's add the cobbler and cornbread!

The color, taste and flavor was terrific. Thanks Dave" Jasmine A., Moraga, CA Thanks Jasmine! It's nice to hear how people use my sauces and dressings. I've never marinated with my sauce but I'll try it now! Thanks, Dave

Cindy L., San Jose, CA Hey Cindy, there's great news coming down the pike! I am negotiating with a commercial packaging company to bottle my products for me. This will make my sauces much more accessible to the many folks that have asked me to get it to them. While we wait on ME to get my act together, I will make certain I call you when on my way down to San Jose next time. I'm there almost every week. Dave
"Wow - you really made our Christmas dinner! Everyone loved the gobbler, cobbler and pulled pork, and insisted on baggies of food to take home, so we let them. Delicious! Thanks," Elaine S, Moraga, CA I'm soooo glad to hear you loved the food. You had "blind faith" in Bonehead's and sounds like everything was good! Hey, next time there's some cobbler left, let me know - I'll come eat it in a heart beat! There's a reason I look like I do! Dave

Steve, Dublin, CA Hey Steve, that's great news because if they didn't like it, I would hate to see what they would have done to me after looking at the pumpkins they carved! Dave

About that Presidency comment, I'll contact you when the bills are due and if you're still interested, you may have a deal!! Dave
"Hi Dave, Without exaggerating, I must tell you that I want to marry and go on a life-long honeymoon with your pulled pork, baked beans, and bbq sauce. I licked that poor aluminum container clean. I dremt about the food that night. Now I'm having withdrawals and feel a little sad and depressed that I must wait until Sept 13 to have me some more....and consider adding a "scratch-n-sniff" option to your webpage." Robin H., Walnut Creek, CA Wow Robin! That's a "first". No one has ever offered to marry my BBQ. Is there a dowery option on this? We can probably make this happen. Hey! Thanks for the kind words. We look forward to your pre-nuptial party in September. It's gonna be goooood!! Dave
"Hey Dave, I just wanted to thank you for the best pulled pork I ever sank my chompers into. I've had pulled pork from more than half a dozen different places and yours is the best, my friend. My wife who doesn't even like pork (I know, she's crazy) loved yours! No kidding! It was a very welcome addition to my going away party, Diablo Valley College Business Services loved it. Your BBQ sauce was great too! Even without it, the pulled pork was awesome. So smokey and juicy. I can't wait to sink my teeth into some baby backs...yummy! Keep up the good work and I'll spread the message that Bonehead's is the best! Feel free to use this as a testimonial and let 'em know who wrote it." Dennis F., Martinez, CA Hey, Dennis, there's nothing wrong with your wife. She just hasn't had good pork before. Now, you and I know there's 3 kinds of pork - "edible", "pretty good" and "holy mackeral, somebody close the door 'cause it's about to get ugly in here!!" Fortunately, mine falls in the last category for you. Hey, congrats on the promotion!! We at Bonehead's wish you the best and can't wait 'til we get a chance for you to flop a lip on sum bones! Dave
"We are using you for our wedding in February and my dad gave me some of the barbecue sauce and coleslaw dressing. We made dinner for a group of 10 on the fourth of July and it was a huge hit! Thank you so much." Casey G., Livermore, CA Casey, your Dad's a smart man - giving sauce and cole slaw dressing to you is a great way to keep you coming back home after you get married! I can't wait for the wedding. It's gonna be a hoot! Dave

"We had a 50th birthday party for my husband at our house and had about 45 guests. Let me tell you this was the best food ever. Dave makes ribs that fall off the bone and the pulled pork was to die for and if I had died that day it would of been the best BBQ we ever had. My husband said it was the best party ever and all of our friends and neighbors said we had the best food. We even had guest that came from other parties and said we had the best food. The Tater salad, coleslaw and the beans make everything great. Dave did it all and for the first time I (the wife) did not have to cook or serve anyone. Clean up was a breeze too. Even our Great Dane Frankie loved Dave. He had all the bones and was in seventh heaven all night. I have been telling everyone about Bonehead and I highly recommend you try Dave you will not be disappointed.
Thanks Dave we love you!" David and Vivian H., San Jose, CA Holy Mackeral, Vivian, I really appreciate these kind words! It was a great party and I truly enjoyed being a part of it. Kiss ol' Frankie for me, will ya?!? I miss that dawg and I love you guys, too! Dave
"This man is got to be the most AWESOME SMOKEOLOGIST I have ever run across. If you saw the size of me you would understand I know good eatin's when I see em. Dave's Texas style BBQ sauces and rubs are not to be reckoned with. They are the best I have ever had. Dave, if you would like to use my name, e-mail or even give out my phone number to tell people about your cookin, please feel free to do so." Paul G., Livermore, CA Woohoo! Man this is good! Paul's willing to talk about this BBQ with anyone. Man, Paul, I appreciate this. So if anyone wants to hear it first hand, let me know. I'll let you talk to da man! Thanks, Paul. I love this Bonehead! Dave
"First off, I have to confess I did not go into this as a ribs fan. Let me just say that from the first bite I became one with the universe. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but the gastronomic light bulb did light up like a Christmas tree. The whole experience was a real treat. Trust me, this is good grub. I am now a confirmed Bonehead. My recommendation: gitcha sum!" John from Rainspark, San Anselmo, CA UPDATE June 8, 2008 - Hey, I saw John again. This time, he had pulled pork. This man and his wife ate 'em some pulled pork. Now these two folks are some of the skinniest folks I know and generally chow down on green stuff. But these dudes really put it away and had a smile on their face the whole time. I can't tell you how much I love to see those smilin' faces! John and his wife give hope to humanity. This is good folks! Dave
"Our Mt. Diablo and Moraga Wachovia Financial Center gives your BBQ the best review possbile!!! Thank you so much for dropping a bottle of your bbq sauce!!!!" Bryant D., Walnut C reek, CA Hey Bryant, just think how good it would have been with some of my pulled pork or brisket!! Thanks for the review. Look for my sauces and rubs to be available for purchase on this website in the very near future! Dave
"Dave, Your barbque is the best I've had! The party you catered was wonderful and the best part was your food!" Terry R., Phoenix, AZ Wow, Terry, I really appreciate this! I thought the party was pretty good - good people, good beer, good food. Good Grief!! I'm ready for another one, now! Dave
"Can't believe the flavor of those ribs. Great Job Dave!" Ed P., San Jose, CA Thanks, Ed. Flattery still won't get all of my secrets, but if you'll do what we talked about, your's will be nearly as good as Bonehead's (of course I didn't tell you everything!) Dave
"Without a doubt, your ribs are the best I have ever had. I can't wait to try the brisket and pulled pork." Lynn C., Rosendin Electric, San Francisco. Hey Thanks, Lynn! That's quite a statement. We believe you'll be just as excited and pleased with the brisket and pulled pork. Dave
"Our Pulte family couldn't stop talking about your food. It was down right "DELICIOUS" and we are so happy..." Roxanne from Pulte Homes, Pleasanton, CA
Hello There Head Bonehead: Great site. Great food deserves a great site. Do this make me Bonafide?
Scott A., Walnut Creek, CA As a matter of fact, Scott, dat do make you Bona Fide! Dave
I love the ribs, the pulled pork, and the sauce--but what I'm really here for is the brisket! Tony W., Walnut Creek, CA Talk like that, Tony, will get you almost anything you want! I can't send brisket through the mail today, but keep watching the site. We're working on it! I would bet you will have some brisket before you know it! Dave
I love authentic BBQ...but every BBQ oufit on the left coast sucks. Every year I have to make a business trip to Lake Charles Louisiana. One of the reasons I am willing to go is I make a point of driving 6 miles from the Convention Center to a little converted home that serves the best pulled pork I have ever tasted, that is, until I had a chance to have Bonehead pulled pork. Dang, thats some good stuff! Skip C., Walnut Creek, CA
Normally my kids are kind of picky eaters. But with a leberal helping of Bonehead sauce they eat almost anything.....except brocolli! Rich C., Morgan Hill, CA Hey Rich! You gotta get these kids to try my Dang Fresh Cole Slaw Dressing. Dip brocolli into that and they just might eat it! Sounds to me you've got a few more Bona Fide Bonehead's in the making! We welcome all ages!! Dave
"Great products. The meat rub and BBQ sauce are fantastic! The slaw dressing is very tasty, especially on brocoli slaw mixed with apples, fresh grapes or raisins, and walnuts. These products are much better than I have found in restaurants and retail stores." Jerry S., Moraga, CA Hey Jerry, you don't write like a Bonehead, but that didn't fool us. You passed with flying colors!! Dave
