Sebastopol’s Stellar A&M BBQ Expands Hours for Barbecue Fans

Boasting a long line as soon as the doors open, this popular Sebastopol barbecue spot will now stay open later for adoring crowds.


Barbecue fans can slow their roll to A&M BBQ before they sell out. The popular Sebastopol barbecue spot will now stay open until 8 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday, and until 5 p.m. on Sunday.

While the ‘que used to sell out well before dinner, owner Kris Austin said he’s now making plenty more to feed the evening crowd — especially families looking for an easy supper pickup.

Pitmasters Kris Austin and Marvin McKinzy (who has since left A&M BBQ) teamed up last June to serve Lone Star-style, wood-smoked meats. Their signature: a seasoned dry rub instead of sauce, letting the perfect pink smoke rings shine on brisket, tri-tip and pork ribs, plus that crave-worthy bark and lacy bits of fat.

There’s usually a line when the doors open, but you can skip the wait by pre-ordering online at ambbqllc.com.
