Eggs by the Bay

I have been to a lot of BBQ Accessory shops being in the BBQ Business but Eggs by the Bay is a premier accessary shop. Everything from soup to nuts. They feature the Biig Green Egg BBQ’s and all they accessories that you can think of to go with it. Sauces and Rubs that will make your eyes crossed just trying to figure out which one you want to try.
Cooking classes through out the year. I took the Prime Rib, Lamb and Turkey Class in the FULL kitchen class room in the back of the shop. My family says I have mastered the Rack of Lamb now because of this class. A Great experience
Pellets, Charcoal, Lump coal, Smoking chips and chunks. You want it they got it. Their customer service is just that, CUSTOMER SERVICE. They carry your new goodies out to your car for you. A great experience for sure.

Great place for all your BBQ needs. By design is Big Green Egg centric, but the selection of lump, smoking woods, rubs and sauces is unsurpassed.
Smitty and Ana are great to work with, and all of their staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I always enjoy my forays into the store.
If you are in the market for a Big Green Egg; no one’s better… they successfully compete on the competition BBQ circuit, so they absolutely know of what they speak.
Classes are top drawer as well… can’t recommend enough

Smitty was very prompt with a response and extremely professional. I accidentally posted a review for the wrong business.
I am very impressed with the professionalism and look forward to visiting this store in the future.

This man will teach you how to cook, seriously, is amazing. Have a big green egg now and anything you can dream about hardwoods, rubs, tools and grilling and smoker tricks, Smitty can teach you. This guy has won every possible competition for his amazing cooking skills. Seriously, give eggs by the bay a try.

Eggs by the Bay is your BBQ mecca. I have been shopping here since they opened and have never been disappointed. While Smitty and team specializes in the Big Green Egg and accessories, the whole store is chock full of BBQ supplies no matter what your set up is. Smitty is from the Missouri and stocks an unbelievable selection of rubs, sauces and smoking woods that you won’t find in any other store on the West Coast. The folks in the store are passionate about BBQ and can recommend the right sauce, rub, smoking wood, and charcoal depending on what you’re cooking. While the Big Green Egg is pricey, the rest of the stuff that you need in Eggs by the Bay is moderately priced. There is no other BBQ store like Eggs by the Bay, you won’t be dissappointed.

Let me tell you something about «Smitty» (feel free to substitute the letter M with an H). We purchased a BGE and accessories from Eggs by the Bay as a thank-​you gift for my in-​laws. For $ 2K, Smitty even threw in a cooking class at half price. My f-​i-​l called Smitty and explained that he needed to reschedule the class, because of a medical emergency; son was going through chemo. Smitty says, «sorry no refunds.» My f-​i-​l says I don’t want a refund, I would just like to reschedule to a different date. Sympathetic Smitty replied, «We don’t do that either.» For someone to be so callous to this situation is just bad business; there are plenty of other places to spend your hard-​earned $$.

Eggs By the Bay is an awesome store! My boyfriend and I purchased a Big Green Egg from Smitty and the EBTB team and it was the best decision we have made in a while.
When we first purchased our Egg we would visit the store almost weekly. I would sit in the white rocking chairs while Smitty and his team would give us yummy ideas of things to cook and the recipes to make them. I recommend having a notebook to take in each time where you write down all of the details. This is what I did and it was really helpful to have all my notes in one place.
The store carries a large selection of rubs and sauces. Everything is yummy, and each of the EBTB team members have a different delicious favorite that they can tell you all about.
The store is full of Egg-​cessories, accessories for the Big Green Egg, both BGE name brand and other brands. I really appreciate that the employees will not try and oversell you on products. They recommended that my boyfriend and I start slow with just the basic and most necessary egg-​cessories like the plate setter.
EBTB also offers classes and a yearly festival! I have attended one class to become more familiar with the Egg. I enjoyed learning how to make a cocktail on the Egg as well as a meal and dessert. I was very surprised by the organization of the EBTB staff during the class. They bussed tables and brought out food and supplies quickly and efficiently. The yearly Egg Fest is remarkable and organized as well. Smitty and his team recreate the EBTB store at a park with 30 – 40 chefs who cook all day long! The festival also offers classes. This year I learned how to make a yummy pie crust dessert which I have now made at home on my Egg many times. I really like that Smitty and his team are available to answer questions at the festival and teach classes at all skill levels.
Overall Eggs By the Bay is well stocked with great items, the staff is kind, helpful and knowledgeable and the classes and Egg Fest are informative and full of delicious Egg cooked food.

All your BBQ needs met in one place. Walk in and get a nice greeting from Smitty who’s always there to help out with any questions. Unless he’s off doing another competition in which case the rest of the wonderful staff are there to help.
The store has a fantastic array of top notch BBQ equipment, sauces, rubs and anything else you need to make the best of a weekend BBQ with friends. And if you don’t have the chops yet to impress everyone with your BBQ abilities Eggs by the Bay offers a lot of great courses to help make you a BBQ guru. I have taken the competition ribs course, pork butt, brisket and pizza classes all of which helped me improve my cuisine.
Since owning my egg for the last 5+ years I have only been to one store for all my needs. It’s a great place to get what you need, swap a few BBQ stories and get helpful advice for your next smoke.

This place is insane. It has anything and everything for the BGE followers and Smitty and crew are super helpful.
Walking in here, they stock so much stuff, your eyes can’t focus on all the BBQ items they have. They have it all. They even hold classes in the back.
When I buy my BGE, I’m going to buy it here! A store this well stocked deserves my money.

This is my go-​to for my bbq essentials. They carry a great selection of smoking woods, bbq tools, and fantastic artisanal rubs/​sauces. Not only do they have great products, they also have an extremely knowledgable staff. I’ve been an Egger since 2009 and I’m still learning a lot of different cooking techniques with my Big Green Egg.
Smitty and Ana, the owners, also host an annual food festival called the Eggs by the Bay Eggfest. This event is the best way to taste the many varieties of delicious food cooked from an Egg and experience the unique lifestyle of the Egging community.
This place is a great resource for anyone that enjoys outdoor cooking!

Great inventory, personal service, and a knowledgeable staff.
I went in with very little experience with grilling. I had my eye on an egg for some time, and this place came up as the place to visit. It’s the only specialized egg store in the country, and the owner Smitty and his team compete and win at several BBQ tournaments using the egg.
Smitty, Anna, and another younger gentleman (didn’t catch his name) were extremely patient in guiding me through their product lines. I never felt pressured throughout the process; they seemed way more interested in making me feel comfortable in my purchase. My sister also came along with us, and spent the whole time chatting with Anna who came off as really sweet as well as knowledgeable.
In the end I went with a large egg, and i’m *extremely* satisfied. The BGE just makes magic, and has made cooking something I really look forward to. Now that i’m more settled in, i’m already looking forward to a trip back to this BBQ wonderland.

I was looking to buy a big green egg for my boyfriend’s birthday and I saw this place had good reviews. Well here’s another! I called to set up an appointment during the week which was nice because I got to talk one on one with Smitty who was very knowledgeable. He told me if I wanted to pay to have it delivered he could not only deliver it, but assemble it and give a 30 minute tutorial on how to cook on the egg… deal! I highly recommend doing this especially if you’re not all that skilled with the grill (me). But now my boyfriend and I are pros and he loooves cooking with it. It makes REALLY good food. We can’t wait to make pizzas in it!

Eggs by The Bay is a must visit if you BBQ. I bought my Egg from another dealer 7 years ago before finding EBTB and meeting Smitty. I now go nowhere else to buy anything BBQ related. He successfully competes in BBQ events, so taking his suggestions is a no-​brainer. Check out the
website, something will catch your interest.
FYI: the BBQ classes are awesome!

I was looking to purchase a BGE for my husband for father’s day and saw eggs by the bay had great reviews. I emailed and Smitty responded very quickly and was informative. The store was very equipped and the staff seemed very nice and knowledgeable.
I waited and spoke with Smitty informing him I wanted to purchase the large BGE. He asked if he could help ring up customers behind me and I agreed. After waiting for 15 minutes, I kept glancing over and he had completely forgotten about me and helped those around me.
I decided to just leave as I saw him helping everyone in the store except for me. I have no idea why he had been so dismissive, but I was able to find the BGE down the way for a cheaper price and better service.
The staff appears nice, but for me, it wasn’t a great experience.

The bf is a bbq/​meat/​food fanatic… He recently pulled the trigger on a high end grill/​smoker but unfortunately didn’t get it from Eggs by the Bay. Knowing him, he’ll probably end up getting one from them anyway… These eggs have a bit of a cult following, it’s understandable why.
We made an appointment a weekday in advance and Smitty was there to let us in and have the store to ourselves. this place is BBQ HEAVEN, it really is like if you had died and gone to bbq heaven, this is exactly what it would look like. Every nook and cranny jam flippin packed with every bbq accessory, spice, lump, book, smell and taste you can imagine. It really is quite amazing the variations available to the hobby. They have all of the «hard to find» lump charcoals and every sauce and rub under the sun, more than you can shake a kebab skewer at. Smitty was cool to work with, nice guy and you can see the passion he has for bbq’ing. This is probably it for the bf, he won’t go anywhere else but here.
It’s summer, come and load up on the goodies because Eggs by the Bay has it all. If you’re anyone who touches a grill or piece of meat, you won’t be leaving empty handed.

Came in today to purchase a bag of green egg charcoal. I have been to this shop several times. These folks are really quality people. No pressure sound advice and willing to assist but not be pest. I ended up picking up a grate as well for my BGE. Thanks guys and good luck at your new location.

Great service, asked and answered questions. Extensive array of Eggs, accessories, sauces, dry rubs, and even have cooking classes on site. very flexible about delivery. Cant wait for my husband to be surprised on his birthday. Smitty said he will spend an hour helping us get started when he delivers. you can tell this guy lives his BBQ passion. Why buy from an appliance store where the reps don’t have any connection to what they are selling? go see Smitty!

My wife bought me a Green Egg as a surprise for my birthday yesterday. Smitty from Eggs by the Bay came to the house and personally set it up and and spent at least an hour with me to answer all my questions and offer advice in using it successfully. The first BBQ come out great. I am very confident that it would have been a different story had she bought it from a different location. They would not have spent the time with me and I would have had to learn on the fly. I also like the fact that he did not try to sell my wife on a bunch of accessories. He was honest and told me that he would not suggest accessories until he understood how I planned to use it.
What makes me further impressed with Eggs by the Bay is when I contrast my experience with a friend’s experience. My friend bought his from Airport Appliance. They simply sold it to him and sent him on his way. No setup, tips, or advice. For him, it resulted in struggling through his first few BBQ’s and a broken lid because they neglected to tell him that he needed to re-​tighten the band around the lid after his first few BBQs. He was more wise when buying the replacement lid and went to Eggs by the Bay.
As far as I can tell, the prices are the same regardless of where you buy it. You may as well go for the 5 star service and buy it from Eggs by the Bay.

Smitty has the best customer service in the business. If you are considering buying an egg, or just getting accessories, ONLY SHOP AT EGGS BY THE BAY!
These are the types of businesses that we need to support!

If you want to smoke and cook with a Big Green Egg, you probably should go to EBTB. I have a local Egg dealer in San Francisco. They are content to wait for the money to roll in and the eggs to roll out. EBTB, in contrast, is a hardworking savvy bunch that are turning Eggery into a joyful community.
We’d wanted an Egg for some time and spotted EBTB’s promotion for EggFest, their annual cookout/​exhibition and took them up on a discount offer for a demo Egg (only used for the EggFest). There’s a surprise — you NEVER see a discount offer on Eggs.
They make a whole Saturday out of the EggFest. They basically move a lot of their store to a public park and invite other vendors and cooks to come in and show off. Several classes are offered, even including how to select meat. Your entry ticket lets you sample what the versatile Egg can produce, from lo-​slo meat to baked goods and pretty much anything between. If you’re just getting started, the EBTB staff are very helpful in getting you set up with the kit you need. Great job of showcasing the product and EBTB’s commitment.
If you’re on the peninsula or South Bay by all means EBTB… even if you are much farther away, you may want to consider working with pros who love their product and are making a community of it.
