50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Artesia

“We went for the first time today and boy was it delicious! I had the brisket bowl my husband had the 405 sandwich and we shared the brisket loaded fries, it was all delicious there was nothing left! Cudos to the person that is smoking the meats in Artesia location and the staff😊“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“Amazing! The whole family eats here. Ribs are unique and usually aren't served anywhere, but really like how they are one of the only ones to serve it. Katsu and the chicken are always my favorite. I do however recommend that they have a different sauce instead of a house sauce. A regular teriyaki sauce would be really good, which is something I suggest.

The person working at the front is amazing! One man show during peak hours sometimes and I always see him working hard. Keep it up!“

“All day breakfast and great prices!“

“foods are amazing“

“Found a treasure. This place is 10/10. By far the best kbbq place I've been too. The employees are so welcoming and sweet. I love the ability to order by phone, such a cool thing. It's so convenient and efficient. Everything is top notch. I live in the Antelope Valley, but you best believe I'm stopping every single time I go down to Artesia“

“I know there are a lot of bad reviews for this place but my most recent visit was actually pretty good. We were seated immediately and we were constantly checked on by the staff to make sure we had everything we needed. The bulgogi which I don’t order all that much, was the standout here. We ordered five rounds of it and it was delicious! The beef belly and brisket was also quite good and they kept bringing us sides of kimchi and radish paper which was greatly appreciated. Honestly I have no complaints. The last time I came here was seven years ago and it was a horrible experience but I’m glad I gave them another chance.“

“It was a very good experience including the flavor of the food. The service here is immaculate and very caring. The meat melts in your mouth, as well as the other dishes. I would completely recommend you to come here. They have good deals and they will make you leave satisfied.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful! Our server Jack was great and the service was genuinely 10/10. We had such a great time from start to finish. I came from out of town and it was absolutely worth the trip. I would highly recommend Mo Ran Gak and would definitely come back!“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

“I had the best birthday dinner at Lalc! I had the Giant Sandwich loaded with Andouille sausage, brisket and pulled pork over slaw on a Ciabatta roll! It was soooo big I could only eat half! The Brussels spouts were amazing and the 5 cheese Mac and Cheese was the best we have ever had! 5 Star!!!! I must try!!!“

“Best Korean BBQ in OC! Love the food and the service. Did i mention free Thrifty's ice cream?“

“The tri tip I order today was amazing and the staff here are very respectful and attentive! Got a chance to try out the new bbq sauce recipe and it’s delicious! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend this restaurant for the bbq lovers“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“Good food,,friendly and accommodating staffs👍“

“Thank you staff, this was our first time here. Hostess friendly, bar staff she was also friendly and made the best mock cocktails. Our server very professional and kind. The food was great. BBQ was so juicy, tender fall off the bone. Even the chicken fell off the bone. Great BBQ sauce nothing was over powering just great flavor. Thank you to the cooks who we dont see for your BBQ skills. 🫡😋“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Best priced KBBQ in OC as of 2026. This is the ONLY place I know of where they allow you to pay a set price regardless of what time of day or what day or the week it is. The owner is fantastic and personally checks in on you. The meat is always fresh, delicious and generously portioned. They switch around the banchan and there kpop and soju everywhere. The service is fast, friendly and it feels like ajumma worried you're not eating enough. Parking can be a little tough and lines can long during weekend dinners. Also be aware that they only accept solo diners between Monday-Thursday from 11-4.“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“WOW OH WOW!!!! Where do I begin. RibBros is actually peak BBQ. I usually go to one closer to my house 30 min away but this stuff is worth the drive. OH MY DAYS!!! There mac is to die for and their gochujang pork belly is SO FREAKING GOOD. Love the ambiance and music choice. I be singing along eating. The worker was fantastic. If you love BBQ, u gotta check this place out. YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!“

“great place! top to bottom“

“I was visiting the area and decided to check out the LBX Hangar. I was in the mood for something different and saw Marinate. I was told the bulgogi burrito is popular, so I tried it. And it was the best burrito I have ever had ... ever. The meat was so tender and flavorful. I love that it had vegetables so I could pretend it was healthy. I don't live in the area but every time I am in Long Beach, I plan to stop by.“

“My daughter took me to this BBQ spot while I came to visit. Let me tell you that it was amazing . I've been to Kansas City where they got the best BBQ but in my opinion this one is better than the ones I went to in KC. We got the brisket, Sausage of the day, cole slaw, Grammy's potato salad and Mac and cheese. They were all amazing. We got there about half an hour before closing and they were out of pulled pork, baked beans and burnt ends They must be the most popular ones which most people love. The staff was very friendly. Hope to come back soon.“

“We haven't been disappointed at Ruby Red. Food and service is the best.“

“DISCLAIMER***I ate half my food because the smell was amazing to know how delicious it is!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic middle Eastern sharwarma 🙌💕✨ thank you Kimo for sharing your delicious home cooking with us. It is truly an honor 🙏“

“Great BBQ. I had the half rack of Beef ribs and the 1/3 rack of pork spare ribs with sides of coleslaw, Mac and cheese, and the blueberry muffin. All were satisfying. I couldn’t finish it all, so I took home one beef rib and two pork ribs to enjoy later.“

“A wonderful first time experience and we had a great waiter Hugo he was friendly and and on top of everything we needed.“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“Our whole family enjoys eating here, even our two young girls. We really love the smoked turkey and brisket, but all the meats are good. The service is excellent and each person really cares about the people they serve and the food they make. The place is clean, even the bathrooms are clean. We like to enjoy our meal on the small back patio.“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

“I've tried just about everything on the menu at Shady Grove Foods and nothing disappoints. I can close my eyes and put my finger on the menu and I would be happy wherever it landed. I had Sticky Bones again tonight and I'm as thrilled as the first time I tried them and all the other times I've had them and in fact I feel like tonight's were the best ever. I seriously enjoy their food and hospitality. The hardest part is driving back to Cal Heights without opening the box and start eating. Compliments to the whole staff and guys cooking it up in the back. It's about to get even better real soon. I can't wait. Stay tuned. . . .“

“I randomly stopped here last night, I never noticed place. Thank God, I got a house tea, (bomb)that already set up good vibes for my food. Chicken Chow Mein, and shrimp Fred rice.both good but chow mein was delicious tasted fresh flavorful I really enjoyed it my lil ones loved it. The woman in the counter was excellent she had such a beautiful persona they could have turned me away since it was close to closing , I took it to go. Great customer service I’d return for that alone it feels good spend your money were it’s appreciated.“

“Stopped in based solely on the reviews and grabbed two pies and some cheesy garlic bread. Both were fantastic. The garlic bread was soft, chewy, cheesy and buttery. The crust and the sauce on the pies were delicious and the toppings were fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.“

“Honestly surprised this place isn't rated higher! Came at like 6:30 pm seated right away, menu is very straightforward. The quality of the meat is phenomenal and they cook it for you. The kimchis and pickled vegetable array is unreal I literally would eat here over and over again. It's a very straightforward experience but 5/5 stars!“

“Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ is literally the best I have ever had. I have been going here for years and it is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the owners are amazing also.“

“Today I went to rodeo 39 in Garden Grove with some friends and I stumbled across Kra Z Kai's. It was my second time trying Laos barbecue. This place is a hidden gem for sure. Everything was the delicious. The ribs were marinated for 24 hours. The barbecue pork and the chicken were all marinated in the same sauce. The owner told me the service was fast and this whole ambience was nice some of the best food I've had in a long time next time I'm going to Garden Grove. I will come here again.“

“Just came by for a leisurely Labor Day early lunch and Manny did not disappoint. We ordered two #3 combos, so 6 meats and 8 sides for 4 people. We had the brisket, tri-tip, beef ribs, baby back ribs, pulled pork, and the chicken. For the sides, we had 3 smoked beans, potato salad, 2 cole slaw, and 2 mac salads. It was nothing short of a feast! The meats were well-smoked, flavorful, juicy, and Manny was as kind as he was generous and attentive. He threw in 4 free sodas, free bread, a free side (we went with an extra cole slaw), and threw on a free kielbasa as well! We couldn't finish everything and the food we took home would easily make for an extra meal for all of us. We drove all most an hour, in the rain, from Torrance; this was not our first dining experience here, and it was just this kind of generosity and service that we experienced the first time that brought us back and will continue bringing us back as long as he stays in business.

Many thanks again Manny, it definitely was the perfect way to kick off a relaxing Sunday; we came for good food, good service, a good experience overall and you did not disappoint. Much love and respect!“

“My family & I love this place! The food is delicious & they have kim chi fried rice & other items some place don’t offer. The staff is also super nice & you get free delicious ice cream! We’ve eaten at other places & it doesn’t come close to here . The price is so good in comparison too!“

“nice and fresh and clean 👌#1 service good customer service!“

“Great service and great food“

“Inside the Whittier Brewing Company, it's a small food hall with individual vendors. You order at a counter. Hours vary by day until they sell out. Go early as brisket & sausages sell out quickly, especially with World Cup watch parties held in hall.
Nice smokey spicey sausage. Tender brisket. BBQ sauce has smoke and a bit of sweet tang. Love the mac and cheese! Creamy, rich, comfort food!“

“The place is small and a little old, but it’s pretty well known around OC for Korean BBQ ribs. The prices are a little high, but the food is really good. Both the beef short ribs and pork ribs have great flavor without being too heavy, and you can really taste the meat. The side dishes are simple but good, and I especially liked the seasoned minari. It goes really well with the meat. Not a fancy place, but I’d definitely come back for the ribs.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“Food was amazing and service was too“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“I think I've already posted about them? Anyhoot- The food, specifically the wings are absolutely the best I've ever had. They are NOT frozen and are cooked to order. They nail each of their flavors like a Gold medal. My wife and I have cravings... for these extremely fresh wings. A little pricey but worth it. I believe they sell wings in a 10 and 20 count.I always finish mine and have at least 3 of my wife's. If you worry about them being Korean BBQ....DON'T. You will have fireworks of flavors and textures blowing up total goodness on all of your tastebuds. If you do order don't expect 5 or 10 minutes as I said not frozen and cooked to order, make sure you know they'll take 15 to 20 minutes to make. I don't want to say anything bad at all, but they charge you for ranch dressing and it is a little priced high. But don't let that stop you. Go get your fingers covered in beautiful flavors, I've never been a finger licker, but I lick my fingers here. It's an exception. Go, you will fall in love...LOL“
