Everett and Jones Barbeque Opens New Fisherman’s Wharf Restaurant at 300 Jefferson

SAN FRANCISCO — November 7, 2026. Oakland-born Everett and Jones Barbeque has opened a new restaurant at 300 Jefferson Street in Fisherman’s Wharf, bringing a family-run Bay Area food business back to San Francisco.

What is on the menu?

The restaurant is serving its signature smoked barbecue, including brisket, ribs, chicken and links, with Southern-style sides. Operators have described plans to add seafood dishes and live music. Diners should confirm current menus, hours and any reservations or waits directly with the establishment.

A site with a history

The two-level, approximately 4,363-square-foot location previously housed Lou’s Fish Shack, which closed in 2020. The San Francisco Port Commission approved a ten-year lease in February 2025 with potential extension options. The opening followed construction delays, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The family behind the business

Dorothy Everett founded the company in Oakland in 1973 with a reported $700 loan. The business once grew to six restaurants and has operated in several East Bay cities. Granddaughter Dorcia White is overseeing the Wharf restaurant with family members. The opening restores a San Francisco presence for a business that previously lost a city location after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
