★★★★★ 5.0 Endre Ahmer · Oct 2025

Fantastic service, food and venue! Five stars all the way! Brisket was phenomenal with perfect rendering, perfect fat layer and bark. Cheddar&Jalapeño sausage and chicken (dark meat) was also 5/5 - easy! No doubt I will be coming back and anyone who love Texas BBQ needs to pay them a visit!🤠

This place is serious about barbecue. You can see just from the wood pile to smoke the meat. The food is fantastic! We got various meats and everything is smoky and tender. I am particularly amazed with pulled pork. The meat is chunky rather than stringy, yet it is super tender and, to my preference, not sweet. The mac and cheese is thick, so as sauces. The slaw is refreshing as well. Oh pickles and macerated onions are free to grab! Capelo is now become a place when I think of barbecue in Peninsula if not the whole bay area!

Delicious barbecue joint in Redwood City. The beef brisket was amazingly soft and moist, possibly the best brisket I’ve had on the Peninsula. Pulled pork was juicy, and the Mac and cheese and creamed corn were both very good. Fast and friendly service. Small parking lot with limited parking, though.

Wth. Sold out of 97% of the menu at 2pm. Had grilled chicken 2 sausages and pulled left. No kids menu . Ordered 2 mac sides which the kids said were gross. Grilled chicken potato salad and baked beans tased less than. Pulled pork sandwich was the better option until it fell apart. Not worth the drive not worth the price. Paid almost 100 bucks no thanks. Food was very dry.

★★★★★ 5.0 Amelie Anna · Aug 2025

Wow! What a great place!? Super nice servers, especially the lady at the counter (so warm and wonderful), great beef brisket, delicious baked beans and scary good kale slaw (we were so hungry that we forgot to take photos..) And the place is CLEAN. Every table was pristine and a staff member was regularly working on keeping it that way. Highly recommend! The atmosphere is also really nice, relaxed and cute with lots of potted plants that someone cares for very well.
