“We made appointment, so minimum wait to be seated. Yummy food! (said my daughter) First time here but my daughters already want to come back. Our fave was the honey pork belly, lamb and chicken leg wrap with bacon, unfave sausage.
We try all you can eat. It was pricey but awesome experience. Its half price for kids 8 - 12 ( if i am not wrong ).
One by one they will stop by at your table to fill up your plate.
There is a small sign on table. You can flip it to NO OR REFILL. but no need to worry about it, they always around and they will stop by to offer you.
Unlimited salad bar, fruit, soup.
They give you cheese bread, caramel banana and is good. You can ask for more.“

“The food, service and atmosphere is really good and at a reasonable price. This is my third time eating at Lucille’s and each time has been consistently good. We all have our favorite BBQ place; however, Lucille’s offers very good BBQ with lots of menu options, a large bar and a facility that can accommodate small to large groups.

Vegetarian options: Salads

Parking: Large Parking lot“

“Good place. Good food. Nice environment and great services. Muchos nice. Si. Si. Senior“

“I was here midweek for lunch and it was like a ghost town. The salad special was fine but I noticed it was much smaller portion than the full salad breadsticks were okay. That could have been a little bit softer. Tortilla soup was not something. I'll order again. The melted cheese doesn't work right in a soup“

“I was craving Spam Masubi so I came here. Unfortunately, the Spam Masubi tasted like it was sitting all day. The Spam was thin, crispy and dry. Not cooked the way I'm used to. I bit into it and it didn't have a fresh taste to it. I also ordered the combination plate with beef short ribs and fried shrimp. The short ribs were on the saltier side, but tender and flavorful. The fried shrimp were cooked too long tasting harder and crunchier than they should have been. The white rice was soft and fresh. The macaroni salad was fresh. The service was great. Server is friendly. The food also came quick. I may come back to give this place a second try in case they were off their game. But $32 for an unpleasant experience was too expensive.“

“Amazing food and amazing customer service!! I shared it on all my social media’s so all my friends would know about this place and be able to have their own experience at home. My whole family loved it and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place!“

“The food was amazing. Such a good treat. Melo was our server and he was very nice and respectful. I do think we were under the impression that they cook for us the entire time, since he cooked for us in the beginning. But still, he checked up on us and provided us great service.“

“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.“

“Good food. Great service. Very understanding and accommodating staff.“

“Wow 🤩 just found a phenomenal local BBQ master and SHE, yes SHE is definitely The Smoke Queen!! Absolutely melt in your mouth delicious, will definitely order again! Let’s support local and small businesses like such.“

“Pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Friendly staff, quick to go service, and delicious food! The spare ribs were my favorite with the meat falling easily off the bone. In my opinion, 1/2 rack is enough for 3 people. I didn't realize this and ordered 1.5 racks 😅 I loved the onion rings. However, not sure I'd pay $10 for them. If you love ribs, I definitely recommend this place!😋“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

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

“Pleasant surprise for a great meal after golfing across the street at Diamond Bar. Meat was fresh. Bangchan was tasty and service was good, granted that it was a quiet night. The decor was kind of odd for a BBQ spot but the price performance is great.“

“I’ve been eating here for years several times a week sometimes multiple times in the same day. I love the food. I love the environment and the staff are wonderful. I feel bad waiting this long to give them a review, but here you go thanks for all the wonderful food. I highly recommend Blake’s Place to anyone looking for a good barbecue spot to get some great smoked meats or if you need catering for any event.“

“When you enter, the delicious aroma hits you immediately. It's not the prettiest place but it has a fun atmosphere none the less. Enjoyed the k-pop playing in the background.

The marinated beef bulgogi was delicious. So was the beef belly. Also, they had 2 flavors of thrifty brand ice cream for dessert. That was an unexpected and tasty surprise.

We will definitely be going again. Next time we will bring the whole family (& friends).“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Very good food 10 out of 10 🤤 bomb“

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

“This place was listed on one of mist fry BBQ place. Pretty nice and cozy place. We had the beef brisket, 1/2 baby back ribs, loaded potatoes, pork belly tacos. The brisket was very tasty and tender while the baby back was a bit tough. The pork belly taco was very tasty. Too much jalapeños but it was good. We also had fried ice cream and the bourbon bread pudding and that was excellent! The services could use some improvements. Food and desserts were served but there was no silverware. Took more than 5 min. To get the utensils plus we weren’t finish eating yet and they are ready to take our plate away without asking if we were done.“

“Mad Wolf Mongolian BBQ is an absolute gem! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious, with so many great options to choose from. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend if you're looking for great food and service!“

“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.“

“We often buy their raw skewers and grill them at home. The beef and mutton are very fresh and the flavor is just right. It’s suitable for all ages! My daughter likes Orleans chicken crispy bones, chicken wings, and toasted bread the most. It’s the best skewers I’ve ever eaten. I recommend this restaurant to everyone, it’s delicious?“

“10 out of 10! Highly recommend! This place has everything you can possibly imagine as far as barbecue and sides. We ordered the sample platter and were able to feed 4 of us with leftovers for two days later and let me tell you that Turkey in a sandwich the next day is phenomenal!
Pit and Bull offers generous portions and has a very friendly staff who are ready & willing to answer any questions you might have.
We don't have to look any further for barbecue as this is going be our new go to place!“

“This was some of the best bbq we have ever had. The mac n cheese was better than my homemade mac n cheese...which says a lot!!! The nana pudding was also the best I ever had!!! Everything we had was orgasmic!!! Will definitely be coming back!“

“Everything was good. Good food, friendly and funny waitress, they even gave us 10% off because we are here for a birthday meal. The skewers auto rotate which is very nice. The only thing I wish is the food can be cooked faster for bigger parties. Some dish recommendations: scallop, hot dog, lame, beef.“

“Chose this place without expectation after hours of play time at Kid's Empire, an indoor playground nearby. We were tired and hungry and ready to grub. Guess what? THE FOOD WAS BOMB!!!My son and I shared the CHICKEN COMBO -Chicken Katsu and Chicken Teriyaki with rice and macaroni salad. Huge portion. Chicken was cooked perfectly and Mac salad was on point! I'd order it again.My husband enjoyed his SEAFOOD PLATTER -Fried Shrimp, fried fish with rice mac salad. Huge portion too. They also had boba drinks. We tried the mango slush with Boba and was a little sweet for my liking but still good.Customer service was great! The young girl who took out order was nice and helpful and the older lady who maybe the owner was really nice and offered us water and check on us making sure we were okay.Will be back if we are in the area.“

“Great ihaw ihaw and crew are very friendly“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“Great food friendly people“

“On our way from LAX to Palm Springs after 10:00 pm we were looking for a quick bite to eat. Drove by this restaurant and figured we would try it.The experience was one we will absolutely recommend, regarding both food and true Chinese culture. No where near what I was expecting.We had the lamb and also beef skewers and fried rice. An appetizer was brought out that we did not order, as it was included, which was right away different and tasted unlike any other soybean and peanut I’ve experienced. It was delicious!The lamb and beef was cooked to exact request and was also delicious!While we have dined at many Chinese restaurants throughout the United States, as we travel extensively and dine out regularly this surf past any, and all other restaurants, we’ve dined in for this type of food. Here’s the difference this was not Chinese food that has been Americanized in most Chinese restaurants. This was true Chinese prepared food.I truly believe you would have to travel to China to get this quality of food and culture.I will also say that we spent 3/4 of our time speaking to Cindy, whose father owns the restaurant which caters to home cooked events at homes, so this is not their primary source of how they deliver the product to the public. The hour and 15 minutes we spent there was made so much more enjoyable as Cindy walked us through the culture the food and Wyatt tasted different because it was truly cooked to Chinese standard. So I have to say, was it the food that was the greatest experience, or Cindy‘s presence and her willingness to have an open conversation about why they do it the way they do, and enlightened us about the culture of the food,I strongly recommend anyone that wants to find out what real Chinese cuisine is and how it is cooked and prepared in China. You realize very quick that this is not your drive-through, Chinese pick up takeout, that we are accustomed to here in the United States. This is a must try for the food if nothing else and when you’re there I recommend you ask for Cindy.After visiting with Cindy, she made it a total experience for an awesome evening of culture that was absolutely excellent.It is always nice to be able to understand and realize the actual culture of cuisine you are eating. Cindy, she made an experience of great food, a completely enjoyable experience. That was absolutely excellent off the charts. Cindy made it a 2 for 1 bonus to the evening.We will absolutely be driving from Palm Springs back to the restaurant. It was absolutely enjoyable. Not to mention the cost was nowhere near what we expected. It was almost like we ordered off a lunch menu for cost and the food that was delivered, and was ample to feed 4 instead of just the two of us.Thank you Cindy for an enjoyable evening and thank your father for being an unbelievable chef. The experience was one we will fondly look back on and make sure we repeat again.“

“Gui BBQ Restaurant & Bar offers an amazing BBQ experience with fresh, high-quality meats and delicious sides. The atmosphere is lively, and the staff are attentive and friendly, making the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and a fun dining experience!“

“Excellent/Hospitable Service & Tasty Food Selection“

“100% recomendado la comida está muy rica, el personal muy hamable , el lugar está muy limpio. es lo mejor se los recomiendo“

“Food is always amazing here. My family only comes here for Korean BBQ. There are hundreds of other options nearby but you just can't beat the quality of the meat and the service. There's a reason why a line is formed before they open... especially on weekends.“

“Words can not describe the taste of this food. This unmarked truck has been here for years and has always served the people with the greatest food that has ever been made in the history of this planet. I am 100% convinced that whoever cooks the food or made the recipe is a prophet spreading the word of God through cooking. if there was a way to rate this more stars I would do it In heartbeat. There will never be food better than this. If there are one million fans of BBQ stick I am one of them, if there is one fan of BBQ stick, it is me, if there are no fans of BBQ stick, I am dead. Good day

Vegetarian options: Uh, I dont think anything is vegetarian, I guess the rice is, and that's all you need since it's so divine.

Dietary restrictions: There's only four menu items, so if you're allergic to them or can't eat them for other reasons it's kinda over for you.

Parking: Parking at the swapmeet Is free and this is pretty close to the entrance.

Kid-friendliness: If your children enjoy eating they will be fine.

Wheelchair accessibility: It's accessible and the tables should be fine for anyone in a wheelchair.“

“A place where I could soothe my stomach with Korean food when I felt tired of American food.
There is a 90 minute time limit
You can freely order from the menu during any given time. However, the menu may be limited depending on the type of set requested.
While we were eating, we had birthday parties at 4 tables (including ours haha).
You can hear Kpop and taste a variety of meats in a lively atmosphere.
The waiting line may be long during meal times, so be sure to make a reservation before visiting.“

“Tucked away in quiet street in busy Diamond Bar, behind the throngs of strip mall shops is a little Thai restaurant. The decor is calming and everything looked new.

Instead of a lunch special, I opted for a full meal and had plenty of leftovers. The Pad See You was excellent with chunks of chicken and flavorful. I also opted for the Beef Satay appetizer. However the portion was huge and dinner size at $15. I spent more than I wanted for lunch but had a second meal. Now that I’m closer to Mt Sac during lunch, I’m exploring all the options that busy Diamond Bar has to offer.

Skip the ice water and get the green iced tea. Yum.“

“Great drinking food. Got the lamb, beef, squid and pork belly skewers. The pork was my fav out of those 4. The fried milk was surprisingly good. We also enjoyed the enoki mushroom, grilled scallop, and cheesy corn. Love the atmosphere and decor.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“We were recently passing through Pasadena and boy, did Yelp come through for us when picking a place to eat! Craft by Smoke & Fire in Old Town Pasadena ended up being the perfect choice. It was a beautiful evening and we opted to sit outside. We were lucky enough to have Stephanie as our server…and also lucky to be there during happy hour – you gotta love a 2 for 1 drink special! It was hard to choose between all the craft cocktails, but we ended up ordering Lulu Lemons which were excellent! I play mixologist when entertaining at home, and when I expressed interest in recreating this drink for our friends, Stephanie was kind enough to share the recipe! The menu is full of yummy Texas-style BBQ options made from locally sourced meat, and it was hard to choose. We landed on brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac & cheese (can you have too much cheese?!) and a harvest brisket salad. Both were so delicious. The outside table area was pretty full and although she was covering a lot of tables, Stephanie was knowledgeable when guiding us through the menu, super attentive and personable to boot! We look forward to returning…and to checking out their Anaheim location as well!“

“On weekdays, it's still full after 8pm, but the similar store downstairs is not crowded. The skewers are delicious and delicious. We recommend the lamb loin, wagyu skewers, beef heart tubes and sausages. The lamb and scorpion pot meat is a bit lacking but the taste is good. Buying two beers and getting one free is a highlight. I will visit again.“

“A legit Hawaiian food spot, I haven't had a good garlic shrimp plate in CA until now (it reminds me of Giovanni's shrimps). Also, I tried their crunchy Gojujang fried chicken and beef ribs and they were delicious. I would definitely recommend these dishes as a first timer here and wash it down with Dole pineapple slushy.“

“Food: 4*
Service: 5*
Ambiance: 5*

Stopped by here with a colleague. We ordered the $19.99 lunch special. He offered to give us a mix of all the different meats on this menu so we could try them. There are specific ban chan you can get like Kimchee, fish cake, potato salad etc. The service was great, very attentive, helpful and friendly. I will return with a larger appetite.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“
