I can’t get this melt in your mouth brisket out of my head. To be honest, everything I ate was off the chain delicious! From the skordalia, jalapeño poppers, the baked beans, ribs and brisket all top notch.

The bbq is really really good! Same as you would get in TX. The sides are familiar but really innovative. The mac and cheese, beans, all of them are unique and delicious in their own way.

This is all around great food. I can’t believe I can get such good barbecue so far from Texas! The brisket and beef ribs are moist and tender, with plenty of smoke but without too much bark. I don’t know how he manages such an extensive menu, but it’s all great! Definitely check out the smoked mac & cheese!

Chris is the Master of the smoker!

We have had several of his menu items and loved all of them. These include the Beef Ribs tender and falling off the bone goodness. The Brisket is to die for so tasty and such a treat. Last St Pat’s day was the Corn Beef smoked to perfection and ready for our get together YUMMY! We will be back again and again.

Texas bbq with a chef’s flair for presentation and complimentary tastes. Beef ribs, stew, pulled pork, and brisket tacos!! This guy keeps it classic and gives you options to dress it up. Can’t wait for more.

Chris is a generous great dude who makes some of the best BBQ in the area. He has cooked for a couple of our family parties. We really enjoyed his Brisket and pork ribs. Thanks Chris

I had Chris cater my birthday barbecue party of 25 people, we had brisket, pork ribs, baked beans, and a special season corn that Chris makes , My friends and family absolutely loved the food! , He will be catering my next party, try him you won’t be disappointed

By far this is the best bbq I have ever had, meat is tender and juicy along with it being smoked to perfection. Everything tastes like it’s been made with love. Chef Q knows what he’s doing!

Chris catered my baby shower…he made the wonderful Greek lamb pasta. It was a hit and the whole shower raved about the richness and love that was put into the dish. Thank you so much…blessings on all your endeavors.

I came all the way from the Uk to try Chris’ s amazing barbecue and I wasn’t disappointed! The selection of smoked meats was superb, with his signature beef brisket and locally sourced sausages being the best I’ve ever had! And the devils fingers are not to be missed. I would highly recommend.

I recently had the opportunity to enjoy one of, if not, the best pork ribs I have ever had! Meat was so tender and juicy and flavor was on point! Chris knows his craft and pays attention to detail and I can’t wait to try out the other items on his menu. Definitely go check him out one of the coolest and friendliest guys you will ever meet!

Chris really puts love and attention to detail into every dish he prepares, and it all starts with true wood fire and smoke on a legit offset (Fatstack!) smoker. His creativity is unmatched, as he melds flavors from all corners of the globe. You won’t find a more accommodating or willing-to-please caterer anywhere. 5 stars, HIGHLY recommend!

Quality service. Quality meats what more could you ask for. Thanks for everything! Will be ordering more very soon.

We’ve known Chris for a little over a year now and since we’ve known him we’ve had the privilege of tasting all his delicious bbq! The man doesn’t mess around when it comes to his smoking. He’s very meticulous with his bbq and doesn’t cut any corners. He makes sure he has the right cuts of meat with the right amounts of fat, he picks out the best cuts of wood, his smoker has to emit the right type of smoke “clean smoke”, all his food has to have the right seasonings, along with all the other things that go in to making sure everything is perfect! And then there’s his creations like devil fingers, shrumions, lammiches, etc. If you ever get to try any of his creations do it! He’s traveled the world and got to experience different cultural foods and he combines that with good American bbq and truly brings his own unique taste to the bbq world. He’s earned himself the name as the beef rib king and believe it when he says he’s bringing you the bayz best bbq!

I must say, Chris has some of the best barbecue I ever ate in my life. The brisket that he makes smoked brisket is the best brisket I’ve ever had. I’m happy to know that he is allowing other people to taste his food but we want them back in Chicago. Give us back our barbecue man. Love you Chris and congratulations. Well also proud of you. Not only Chris is a great chef he is also a great friend and brother of mine. Can’t wait to you start sipping food. It’s just that good.

Amazing food, fresh from the grill i had gotten a platter for my family which came with an assortment of amazing tendered smoked meats as well as some stuffed peopers and assorted vegetables. When i got home this dish didnt last but 5 minutes before the platter was clean of food, needless to say ill be coming back again

I am the owner of Brokin Home StudioZ based in Chicago, IL and I must say this brother here on the grill is a mastermind! I miss coming over to your BBQs at the house. Honestly times you seen me walking by, i was hoping you were cooking! Because that lamb was the best in this city! LOL. Next time I visit the west coast, I know where I will be ordering from! Much love and success to you brother!

I met this man through an employee and I am so glad I did! I moved here just over a year ago from Las Vegas and I am defiantly a foodie! I tried almost everything on the menu and it all was amazing! If you need catering don’t hesitate to pull the trigger you will be 100% satisfied with the quality product from Snoozle Q’s!

I generally try to eat more vegetarian, but when Chris’s BBQ is available I can’t resist. I’ve been enjoying his cooking since this summer and it has all been delicious. Brisket, chicken, sausage, ribs, pulled pork, tri-tip – I’ve had it all. And if you can try the Devil Fingers and Shrumions – do it! He also has a homemade mustard that should be bottled and sold in Costco sized containers. Chris himself is a genuinely nice guy; and you can tell he really takes pride in his food. I’m a customer for life!

Best BBQ in town!

Chris is great bbq guy ,love his Brisket, bbq ribs melting off the bones, but to date I cannot forget bbq lamb sandwich which was garnished with madrin juice,along with his shrumonions yum.,wish you good luck and success in this business, keep the good work Chris

Snoozle Q’s BBQ is top-notch and my go-to for absolutely delicious smoked plates. Not only is the BBQ the tastiest in town, the owner and pit master Chris is a fantastic individual who puts his full heart and soul into every dish and customer interaction.

For the past year, my family has ordered food from Chris many times. Every single time the food has been fantastic! The meat is always so tender and full of so much flavor. His side dishes are amazing and always leave you wanting more. You can taste the passion and care he puts in with every single bite. I always look forward to when we order food from Chris. You will not find better BBQ then Snoozle’s Q BBQ.

Sometimes you run into someone with something special. Well folks, this is special.

The flavors are like no other because there is no others out there making it like Chris. Chris has a passion for sharing his food just to get a smile out of someone. I mean, if it isn’t passion well then it’s Love. And you can taste the love through Chris’ craft. You must have a piece to see what I mean!

From one Pitmaster to another, The passion Chris has for food shows up in his cooking. The difference in the quality and taste of the food is the “Love” that goes in to it. Chris loves the people he cooks for and the food that he makes for them. You can taste it in his food. That is the sign of a true Pitmaster.

If you want authentic and outstanding barbecue, then Snoozle Q’s is who you should call for your next event. Chris Schieszler is an amazing cook. I’ve tried just about everything he smokes. The beef ribs are my favorite!  You can’t go wrong ordering his side dishes either!  Chris takes pride cooking his food and it shows.

Snoozleqsbbq is amazingly delicious! Chris is an awesome grill master and has perfected smoking his meat entrees. The meat is super tender and slides right off the bones. His side dishes are his own personal invention and are just as amazing as the meat. I look forward to eating more snoozleq.

From his BBQ Beef Ribs, Pork Ribs, Brisket or Brats,  Chris brings a new level of amazing flavor to the  BBQ  scene including his delicious smoked appetizers and side dishes.  All are amazing and delicious…..

Snoozle Q’s BBQ is a hidden gem that will instantaneously become your favorite. They are in my opinion, so much better than any other BBQ; Chris instills the highest level of detail into his food to produce something unforgettable.

Let me give you an example: trying their ribs for the first time was like tasting a fine wine.

Picture yourself as you take your first bite, and a complexity of flavors that blend together harmoniously rush through your mouth. Just like a wine, where you can pick up on notes/hints of subtle flavors, so do the ribs produce a similar curiosity and intrigue as you taste. It is such an art form. All you can do is simply grin the largest grin your face is capable of, and enjoy the moment. Each bite, another opportunity to relish the joy of so much care and professionalism being poured into your meal. Chris even took the time to explain and show how deep the smoke rings from his industrial-grade smoker went into the ribs for added authenticity. My family was truly impressed.

And the greatest test of all? Our family runs a daycare, and my little 5-year-old couldn’t help lick his fingers after demolishing one of the ribs. If you want the most pure and honest review, you should ask him. He couldn’t stop asking for more!

Chris catered BBQ for our Father’s Day. What a treat to give my husband and father-in-law a break from the grill. Chris created a perfect menu of, fall off the bone, pork ribs, maple sausages, mushroom and onions and smoked bacon-wrapped jalapeño peppers. Everything was smoked perfect.

Since then we have had the pleasure of enjoying almost every item on Chris’s menu—even the turkey neck butter bean soup, which is true southern comfort!

Our favorite dishes are the beef brisket and the Dino beef ribs (they are giant!) The smoke on the meat is perfect. Every bite is juicy and melts in your mouth!

Looking forward to future Snoozle Q events and your continued success in bringing great bbq to the Livermore Valley.

Cheers!

I have seen Chris since the start of his BBQ business and the passion in which he cooks all of his plates definitely comes through in the finished product. From his Shrumionions to his beef and pork ribs to his brisket to all of his side dishes he never disappoints, the dishes check all the boxes they look, smell and taste out of this world!!!!!!

The Shrumions were awesome, man! Perfect with the brisket. Thanks for loading them up. I could eat those things all day!

I am the owner of MR BEEs Repair and Maintenance LLC.

I had the privilege of meeting Chris when he reached out to me to complete some handyman projects. Chris let me he had purchased a custom built smoker and was going to start his new BBQ business. I was in the restaurant industry for over 31 years working my way up as a Senior Director of Operations overseeing 27 restaurants. So I definitely know about critiquing food when served to me.

Chris doesn’t cut corners when it comes to smoking his meats, unlike other smokeries who uses the lazy man’s “set it and forget it” style, electric and/or gas smokers. NOT CHRIS! He meticulously hand cuts his all the logs he uses for his wood fire and natural smoke flavors. Cuts and trims the meats. He stay up all night to monitor the fire, spritz the meats with apple cider.

Chris’ food has continuously blown me away with the amazing flavors as well as the creativity in his food. His smoked brisket, beef and pork ribs, and pork chops are phenomenal. When I mentioned creativity, his side dishes are mind blowing and very crave able wanting you to come back for more. For example he makes smoked bacon beans. Smoked cheesy bacon wrapped pickles. I recently tried his smoked turkey neck butter bean stew which may sound unusual, but WOW! It is full of flavors, very hardy and very low in fat. I’m not a fan of onions but Chris’s Shrumions are cooked to perfection where the onions are caramelized and the mushrooms delicately tender with a array of flavors infused in them.

Chef Chris is not only a master smoker, but he is also extremely creative. He is trained in a variety of styles that he blends into his spices and cooking styles creating the most mouth-watering dishes. I highly recommend Snoozle Q’s BBQ.

My husband is a sauce ‘freak’, and loves Chef Chris’s local honey mustard sauce along with incredible beef ribs and quesadillas. Snoozle Q’s foods are an amazing blend of sweet and spice, with a splash of home comfort. Smoked heaven!

Great Video Chris,
Love your BBQ food is very good.   Wish you all the best with your company.

Just wanted to let you know that your BBQ brisket and sausage are the best!  It’s like going to Texas without the travel!  Keep up the great work!
Cheers

Hi my name is Siaosi Taufa. I am an Author for my mystery thriller book “Sense of Madness,” available now on Amazon. When i have a writers block, I sometimes need some food for thought. Literally. I was in need of some beef ribs, because not many places make it. Got into contact with Chris and he made the best beef ribs I have ever had. If you think you had the best beef ribs in the bay area, brush your teeth because your taste is off. Chris is the beef rib KING. He also whipped up these bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers that he calls “the devils fingers.” FIRE!

It was really good. I also had these basil sausage hot dogs that he had with this own honey mustard sauce mixed with horse radish and some other stuff. I HATE horse radish, but when i had that sauce, I was like “Honey, I’m home! I’m ready to grub.” Also, he makes cheesy grits that’s really damn good. Not many places are making grits. Chris brings new life to the BBQ game with his own twist. Get your grub on with the Beef Rib King Chris

I live in Pleasanton and Chris catered at my niece’s bridal shower last June. We had brisket, chicken, sausage, bacon-wrapped jalapeños, shrummions and pickles. Everything was so delicious and my guests loved it! There was plenty of food for 20 people and some leftovers for guests to take home. I was very satisfied with his service. Brisket is my all time favorite. It’s seasoned to perfection, tender and juicy. My children love the sausages. Chris’s meat bbq and sides taste so much better than any I’ve had so I haven’t bought from my usual bbq places since.

After that event, Chris would call me every time he barbecues so I’ve tried other meats and sides too. You can’t go wrong with any type of meat. If I have to think of any least favorite of mine, it would be the spicy butter beans only because I don’t like spicy bean soup. I can only say that I love Chris’BBQ and highly recommend it. Good luck to your new venture and more power to you!

Chris brings good old-fashioned barbeque to the Bay Area! His attention to detail and love for the craft really shines through and is evident in the food: from the perfectly charred crusts to the smoke rings and beyond. I haven’t tried everything but can’t beat the ribs or brisket! Can’t go wrong though, really, and the service is top-notch too!
