Kinder's Meats Deli & BBQ
Three generations of hard work and family pride began in 1946 when John Kinder opened his first meat market in the Bay Area town of San Pablo, California. In 1985 Kinder's was relocated to Concord, California, and the business became a popular neighborhood meat market, deli and catering company - not to mention, the only place in town to get a marinated ball tip steak sandwich.

Stop by any of our nine Kinder's locations to experience the quality of our meats, deli and bbq. Cook your Kinder's marinated ball tip at home, enjoy the in-house family dining or take out sandwiches and sides. Kinder's line of bbq sauces, marinades, grilling spices and more are available at all our Northern California locations, online and in retail markets across the country.

This will be the last time for me coming to any Kinders. Today we ordered 2 stuffed BBQ pulled chicken sandwiches and we got beef. We said no onions or cheese and we got both, we said brown sugar tots we got plain. They rarely get orders correct and we had no time to wait for correction. I have worked food service myself and have never seen so many mistakes. Service lacked in hospitality as well. Great food when or if they get correct but there is definitely a lack of communication from front to back cooks or something.

Some of the best food around and so many great choices! I've been to this restaurant several times and never had anything except great food and service. Tracy is wonderful, she's constantly hustling around making sure that everything you need is taken care of and she does it with a big smile.

I come to this location the most out of all of them. A major reason is because of their customer service/dining room worker Tracey. She is always asking how our food is and even clears the table when we are done. Her smile shines all the way through her mask and her positive attitude is contagious. The food is also really good!

I got the Chicken Cobb salad and it was so bad I ended up throwing it away. 1st the chicken was so dried out and old that it had a funny look & smell to it 2nd the lettuce was so wilted.. I didn't trust eating it out of fear that I would get food poisoning.

Tracy is amazing and truly a wonderful person.
I order a Philly cheesesteaks in hope to try something new and wonderful.
After I tried it, I was not impressed and Tracy asked me how is everything? After I explained the lack of taste in the Philly she was more than happy to go the extra mile for me and replace the sandwich with my regular go to Ribeye sandwich that was wonderful.
The best part about Tracy is that she really cares and it shows!!
Thank you for the great customer service!

Best place for bbq around here. You can get the discount cards at Costco. I don't know if it's my winning personality or if they do this for everyone, but they have included more extra than standard the past few trips.

Always the best sandwiches!! Always! Great staff and prices too!
Honestly, everything I've ever tried here has been amazing. I used to live down the street and come here at least once a week - so it's a must stop for any meal every time I visit! It's a clean restaurant and honestly you just can't go wrong. The bathrooms are a bit sketchy and gross as they're shared with the all of the businesses in the center.

Honestly, there were only 2 good things to mention: the roasted vegetables were pretty decent (except the overcooked, hard potatoes) and the Sausage. Aside from that, the rest of the meal can be described as bland, underwhelming, dry, and decidedly not smoked, despite claiming to be. hard pass.

Meat, meat and more meat, the only suprising thing was they had a vegetarian sandwich on the menu. Always get the Ribeye Steak Sandwich over the Tri-tip, always get the tri-tip and ribs combo over the chicken and ribs, and always get the tater tots with salt and pepper only.

First time customer at Concord location. I had BBQ Ribs and Ribeye steak dinner which was delicious.

I super appreciated the excellent customer service from Kayla W. who suggested this alternative of the ribeye steak with the ribs since they were out of Balltip roast which I really wanted and it wouldn't be ready for another 20 minutes.

I also appreciate that she came to ask how my meal was later. I asked for my steak to be cooked medium well and it was perfect. Kayla W. has a great attitude, very professional and put the customers needs first.

I want to also give another shout out for

Amazing as usually! The ball tip was cooked to perfection and the tequila lime is one of my favorites! I also order a half pint of ambrosia that is not featured in the pictures. It was good! Good service, fast, and friendly! Will be coming back hopefully soon!

We love their sandwiches. Very big portion on their daily specials. Enough for two meals. The tater tots and tequila lime fries are our favorite sides. The only weaknesses is that the chicken can be dry.

Kinders has been around for a while now and I'm proud to see them expanding. They started out in my hometown and made a name for themselves.. even more so since their food and sauce is so good.

This particular location is right off of hwy 4, visible from the freeway in an industrial part of town. Decent sized parking lot and what would seem as a safe area. Usually not too much of a wait here but everything is always fresh. Deli style ordering and seating area, clean restrooms.

I hadn't been here in a while but really had a craving for it when I drove past it this morning. I got the

I have always enjoyed Kinders since growing up. My first experience there was their Pleasant Hill location when I was attending high school at the time. The location in Concord is off of Arnold Industrial Way and seems to be like a huge location. The staff wore masks, but they did not wear gloves.

I usually get the ball tip sandwich, but today I felt like a grilled chicken sandwich. It comes with your typical sandwich fixings of lettuce, Mayo, tomatoes. They do have different bread options, and I forgot to ask them for Dutch crunch instead of their regular bread (that was my mistake). They have

Good food generally, I've gotten food from them for many years and had many good experiences and couple of so-so once. Their ball tip and pork ribs are great and prices are reasonable. Sweet potato fries are awesome when fresh. I recommend this place!
