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“

“My family and I were on vacation from New Mexico and had always wanted to try Korean BBQ. While searching for places to eat, this restaurant popped up with great reviews, so we decided to give it a try. This was our very first Korean BBQ experience, and at first we had no idea what we were doing! We asked one of the female servers for help, and I'm so disappointed that I didn't get her name because she was absolutely amazing. She gave us recommendations on what to order, explained how everything worked, and every single thing she suggested was delicious! Once we got the hang of ordering and cooking our food, we were in food heaven. Our server, Eric, was incredibly polite, attentive, and easy to talk to. We had a great conversation, and he made our experience even better.

1000/10 - I highly recommend this place! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town.“

“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.“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a great experience at this BBQ restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly. What really made our visit special was our waiter, Chae. He was so nice, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire meal. He made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us regularly, and created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel very comfortable. His excellent service truly stood out and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

The only small disadvantage was that some desserts were not available during our visit, especially the matcha crepe cake and chocolate crepe cake, which we were looking forward to trying.

Overall, it was still a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place, and if you get Chae as your waiter, you’re in great hands! 🔥🍖😊“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“The BBQ baked beans are legit!! Big chunks of meat in it and veggies!! Yum!!“

“Servers were so kind and sweet and always had a really bright smile, I’m mainly writing this review because the servers were so nice to us! The meat is also very high quality and fresh, the galbi, rib fingers, and the beef tongue were especially tasty. They also have free self serve ice cream as a desert after you’re finished eating. My mom was eating the ice cream outside the restaurant and one of the workers noticed she didn’t know where to throw it away and even took our trash for us after we left the restaurant. Really appreciate how sweet the workers were and how high quality the meat was, highly recommend coming here!“

“I got the Smoking Song Sandwich with Mac & Cheese & it was delicious! I waited 30 more minutes to then order a $5 beer for the FIFA special. $5 fries & $5 beers during World Cup matches!
I had my Pomeranian with me so we enjoyed the nice spacious patio and still got a view of the TVs inside :) Employees are great! I’m looking forward to coming back to try more of their menu & trying their FIFA fries special 😋“

“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“

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

“Wow… I have been wanting to bring home dinner from Steve’s after work, and I was finally able to time it right. The food was unbelievable!
The flavor of the brisket was perfect and so tender. The twice baked potato was the best that I have ever had. They were very kind when I picked up my food, and the restaurant looked so beautiful inside. I will be back hands down!“

“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.“

“You know this place is good when you see all the ahjummas queued up LOL. Honestly some of the best bibimnaengmyeon I have had in the US. Also the banchan was insaneeeeely good and free refills. One thing though is that the meat was good but for the 3 person combo the portion size is pretty small. But I would definitely come back! Get here early so you don’t wait in line.“

“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.“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

“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.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Good food,,friendly and accommodating staffs👍“

“What a gem this BBQ spot is! Whittier is so lucky to have Bibs Ribs and how lucky are we to have this staple in our own backyard! I will be going back!

Just stop reading, do yourself a favor and go check it out for yourself! You won’t regret it or go anywhere else again for BBQ!!!“

“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…“

“The food was DELICIOUS!!! MO and his staff delivered excellent customer service. The pork belly and brisket blew my mind. They also had some of the best carrot cake I've ever had. The only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is because the portions are small for the price.

I will definitely be a repeat customer.“

“I can’t believe I have finally found a barbecue place in Whittier worthy of going to at least every other week. The meat is amazing. The flavors are phenomenal , The meat is juicy and tender. Definitely stop by if you’re needing some good barbecue..“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

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

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

“great place! top to bottom“

“It’s expensive, but the quality of the meat is excellent. Don’t compare this place to AYCE KBBQ. I come here once or twice a year because it’s far, but it’s worth the trip. The bean stew tasted different from last year—this time it seemed overboiled or not freshly made.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“The food is AMAZING ! The ribs, the Mac n cheese, the green beans, the cornbread, everything we had was over the top delicious and the service was great !! Our new favorite place ❤️“

“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.“

“This was my first time and won’t be my last! I loved the food and the quality/ quickness of the our server. I wasn’t able to catch her name but she was a rockstar. She was the only server in the restaurant, and you wouldn’t have noticed. Thank you for making our first experience amazing!“

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

“Came in today since I was in the area and saw many good reviews . Great customer service, everyone was friendly . Don't let the sketchy surroundings intimate you . I came late so they had ran out of what I wanted, but what I got was still good . I got the 3 meat plate everything with extra chicken and it was full of flavor . Recommend !“

“Came here for dinner time during Christmas week with my family. We were a group of 10 and we came right at peak dinner time, which honestly sounds like a terrible idea but thankfully they were able to sit us within 40 minutes. We were sat at two tables and had a burner each. The service was great, especially with how busy they were that night. The KBBQ was super yummy and I especially loved the steamed egg, I ordered two total. The house salad was so so good- I wish someone would tell me the recipe (pls) because I ate the whole bowl. The meat came out at a decent time and I enjoyed sides. They also offered buldak ramen, which my younger cousins enjoyed- so I’m sure other parents or family members may wonder what else kids may enjoy here. I will definitely be back!“

“Great service and great food“

“I recently tried Kimo’s Shawarma and it was honestly one of the best shawarma spots I’ve been to. The meat was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned, and you can tell everything is made fresh. The garlic sauce was rich and creamy without being overpowering, and it paired perfectly with the warm, soft pita.

The portions were generous, especially for the price, and the staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The place itself was clean and had a relaxed, casual vibe.

If you’re craving authentic, delicious shawarma with great service and value, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“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. . . .“

“Tasty French dip. Lots of meat and a really tasty roll. Will definitely be back. Thanks for a great experience!“

“I Had rhe pleasure to come to this restaurant with my husband early part of the year and was extra pleased with the services and the delicious ? BBQ. I wanted go return soon, so I went again with my friend . I treated her to a very nice birthday lunch. Once again, everything was so delicious and just perfect!. From the cleaness , to the friendly professional staff. Excellent atmosphere and just so on point. Will be coming back again soon.“

“Jose was an excellent server! He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. He checked in regularly without being intrusive and provided outstanding customer service. Thanks to Jose, we had a great experience at Famous Dave's.“

“Thee best in the west And fast service“
