1/2 lb Tri Tip was a tiny bit dry but very, very good for delivery. Lg. Potato Salad is delicious and creamy.

Sadly, tried a couple times and the meat always arrives very overcooked. Last order was mesquite chicken and the dark meat was overcooked it had that thick layer under the skin. The breast and wing were inedible.
However, the gumbo is excellent. Some of the best I had in the Bay area. Would only ever order that in the future.

I have eaten at hardwood a dozen times and always get the brisket. It is always delicious; best in the city. Tonight I tried the tri-tip and it was literally not edible. It was so tough that I think the leather soles on the bottom of my shoes would be more tender. After speaking to some others who have had the tri-tip there, it appears that is the general consensus. . And the size of the corn muffin shrunk by half. It's now like the size of a donut hole. Shame

I would have taken a picture but I could not resist the scent of hickory -- I immediately ate the sandwich. Not only was it delicious-- there was an ample supply of pork.
Don't expect a lot of photos, either -- this is the kind of food you eat, not photograph. If you want photos, go the the SFMoMA or the DeYoung but if you want a tasty pulled pork sandwich, Hardwood has you covered.
Highly recommended.
