Happy Hollow Market, located in San Jose next to the Japanese Friendship Garden and across from the ballpark, is a convenient spot for quick and affordable BBQ. The store offers a variety of items beyond BBQ, including drinks and snacks. The BBQ is made in an old-school rotisserie oven, producing ribs, beef, and pork, seasoned with turmeric salt, sugar, pepper, paprika, sage, rosemary, thyme, and cumin. The pork ribs are juicy and meatier, while the beef ribs are a bit drier and have a gamey taste, with only salt and pepper seasoning. Prices are reasonable, with pork ribs at $9.50, beef ribs at $6.50, huge chicken leg quarters for $4.50, and tritip sandwiches and turkey legs also available. Sides like potato salad and macaroni salad complement the meals. The staff are polite and attentive, providing a friendly shopping experience. Despite its modest appearance, the establishment is known for its flavorful BBQ and good value, making it a popular choice for quick bites, especially when visiting nearby parks or the zoo. Many customers appreciate the consistent quality and the ability to enjoy BBQ on the go.
