Welcome to Big Rock Cafe

We invite you to grab your friends and family and join us at Big Rock Cafe for slow-smoked BBQ, hearty breakfast, and a laid-back local atmosphere. Our kitchen serves up bold flavors and comfort-food favorites made with quality ingredients and plenty of care, whether you’re craving brisket, tri-tip, ribs, or a stacked deli sandwich. We’re open 7 days a week and make it easy to dine in, take out, or order delivery when you want Big Rock at home.

About Us

At Big Rock Cafe, our goal is to serve our guests bold BBQ favorites and friendly, family-welcoming service in a warm, local atmosphere. We’re proud to call San Rafael home, and we love bringing the community together for great food, live music, and good times. From the day we opened our doors, we’ve made a promise to focus on quality—slow-smoked meats, fresh ingredients, and plates made with care. We keep that promise every day by making sure every order that leaves our kitchen is something we’re proud to put our name on.

Our menu features favorites like brisket, tri-tip, ribs, and chicken meals, plus deli sandwiches, fresh salads, and hot-grill options when you’re craving something filling and fast. We keep it simple: quality ingredients, bold flavor, and generous portions—whether you’re dining in, grabbing takeout, or ordering online. No matter what you choose, every plate is made fresh and served with the same care we’d want for our own family.
