Family-run Texas-style smokehouse near the far end of Bayview, turning out brisket, pulled pork, lamb shank and smoked chicken quarters. Portions are large and the lounge side pours beer and cocktails. A change of pace from Steveston's seafood.

A small family-run Hawaiian spot in the Bayview block near the Steveston waterfront. Plate lunches, kalua pork and loco moco come out fast and cheap, with rice and mac salad on the side. Limited seating, so many orders head out to the boardwalk.

Steveston's barbecue joint, smoking brisket, ribs and pulled pork in house with Kansas City-style rubs and sauces. Craft beer taps and TVs in the dining room, and it takes reservations seven days a week. Good for a group that does not want fish.

A waterside eatery tucked behind the Bayview shops, best known for burgers and a brunch that runs all seven days and stretches to crab cake benedict, cabbage rolls, borscht and chowder. Casual and rustic, and easy to walk straight past.
