21 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Claremont

“Dined in Friday night with my husband and some friends. Didn't take long to be sat inside. Our waitress was Ashley. She was very patient, friendly and knowledgeable of the menu as we had a lot of questions. She almost had my husband sold on the weekend pork chop special they had that was off the menu, but there was no way he could finish that on his own and I had my heart set on the brisket! Ashley checked on us multiple times until she had to take a break and Kaitlyn took over for a little bit. She was very friendly with a big bright smile. All around pleasant time. Drinks and food were yummy. We will be back!“

“Tried Shootz Hawaiian BBQ and their special kimchi butter katsu + sando and I LOVED it. The kimchi butter is sooo goooood!! It is flavorful but not overly heavy, which I really appreciate!
Definitely one of those meals where you keep thinking about that sauce after !!

There are plenty inside and outside seating. We went on the weekday evening is not busy at all.“

“Brisket is wonderful with the tri-tip a close second“

“We stopped by Spirit of Texas Craft Barbecue, located near Arrow Highway and Bonnie Cove, for an early Sunday lunch. We arrived around 11:30 a.m. and decided to make a meal of it.

Today, we tried two of their combo platters, featuring tri-tip and pulled pork. Both came with a side, and we each chose the potato salad. We also grabbed a couple of drinks to round out the meal.

The tri-tip and pulled pork were both delicious, and the potato salad was a great complement to the barbecue.

Everything tasted fresh and homemade, which is exactly what you hope for when visiting a family-owned barbecue restaurant.

One thing I really appreciate about Spirit of Texas is its authenticity. This is a small, family-owned establishment that has been serving the community for years. I was actually here 30 years ago, and remarkably, the place hasn't changed much. They still make their food themselves rather than relying on someone else's kitchen. You can taste the care that goes into what they serve.

I also love their sign explaining that they're open until a certain time or until they run out of food. That tells you everything you need to know. When the food is gone, they're done for the day. It's a good reason to get there early!

There's plenty of parking, including designated ADA parking spaces. There are also signs throughout the lot reminding visitors that parking is for customers only, apparently due to past issues.

If you're looking for authentic, freshly made barbecue from a small family-owned business, I highly recommend making the trip to Spirit of Texas Craft Barbecue.

Come hungry, arrive early, and enjoy a great meal at a local institution!“

“Have you ever eaten somewhere and wondered what eating at their house would be like? Thats how good the food is here. A few of my friends put me on to this place and it's crazy good. Im so glad I live far because I'd eat here weekly. The wings are amazing, smoked wings are my favorite I love the flavor and they have several different options. I tried them all and I love the lemon pepper and plain wings. My favorite thing on the menu are the brisket tacos. For reference I don't like trying new food and I always ask for everything on the side to be safe. I've eaten her about 5-6 times and the food has always been perfect. I think the prices are good for the quality of food they serve.“

“I love this place! It just a whole vibe!“

“This place doesn’t take reservations, and the line is always long! I waited almost two hours on a Saturday evening for a party of four. It was VERY loud inside - turns out they had an entertainer named Adam who would sing Chinese and English songs. You could pay $20 for a song request.

You order everything on the tablet. There is a call button on each table to get service. The skewers are good but tiny portions. What’s really good here is the chicken wing! I also really like their malatang and golden soup. The meat in the soups is fatty though.

Credit card accepted. Plenty of parking. Bathroom in the back.“

“Came in with zero expectations, just wanted to destroy a mountain of food. Surprisingly solid meat quality and selection. Most of the sides were good too, just not the corn & cheese and the golden oyster roll. Those missed.

Service was fine at first, then a wave of people hit and everything slowed down hard. Only two people running the host stand and dining area, so that tracks.

Also found out you can get scoops of ice cream even though it’s not on the menu. Only knew because we saw the table next to us get some. Hidden little win.

Better than expected for a random “feed me” mission.“

“I was in Diamond Bar for work and was craving Korean BBQ, so I decided to check out SEOUL BBQ after seeing all the great reviews. Let me tell you… this place did NOT disappoint!
If you can make it for lunch, their $24.99 AYCE lunch special is one of the best deals around. The banchan came out first, and everything was fresh and delicious, but the glass noodles were my favorite. I could’ve eaten those all day!
Then the meat started rolling out… game over. The prime rib, beef belly, and brisket were all fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Add a little salt, throw it on the grill, and wowww… every bite was amazing.
We also ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and spicy tofu soup, and every side dish hit the spot. The service was quick, the staff kept checking on us, and they never let the grill get too crowded.
For $24.99, the quality and variety are hard to beat. If you’re looking for a solid AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Diamond Bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Soooo good… let’s go!“

“Went to Moon Grill “just to grab food” and somehow left emotionally attached to the grilled chicken 😭🔥 Everything was crazy flavorful, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The portions? HUGE. Like “I’ll save some for later” huge… except it was too good to stop eating.

The staff was super cool, the vibe was relaxed, and the food came out fast enough to save me from turning into a full-time hangry person. Every bite tasted like somebody in the kitchen actually cares about seasoning — which these days feels rare 😂

If you want delicious food, good prices, and a meal that will have you thinking about it at 2am later that night, Moon Grill is the move. Definitely coming back with extra napkins and zero self-control next time.“

“Kangnam Korean BBQ's location may not be that ideal, but the food they serve here is definitely worth your drive all the way here, especially when you finish your 18 holes at Diamond Bar.

Ordered their combo of spicy cold noodles and LA short ribs, noodles is good with the authentic Korean taste, same as the LA ribs, meat were well marinated and grilled with good portion.

Have to mention a little bit about their appetizers, the kimchi here is definitely a good one comparing to other places.“

“What an incredible evening. I highly recommend Frank's BBQ & Catering. I hosted a small dinner party at my home and Frank & his team served on sight grilling our steaks to perfection. Frank communicated with me to help with the details, was accommodating to my guests food preferences, and had a smile on his face all night. I will book my next event with him without hesitation. Thank you to Frank & his team for making my event so memorable.“

“I recently visited The Corner Butcher Shop in La Verne for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and first-time buyer friendly. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and happy to answer any questions about their selection.

Speaking of selection—the quality of their meats is top-notch. They offer a fantastic variety of premium cuts, all fresh and expertly prepared. I was also impressed by their wide range of seasonings and specialty items, making it easy to grab everything I need for a great meal in one stop.

Overall, this place exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be making it my go-to butcher shop from now on. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality meats and excellent service!“

“My service organization regularly came to Silver Spoons' predecessor, so when we found out that Silver Spoons was open, we made the restaurant our next meeting location so we can try it out!

I usually order my go-to to test out a Thai restaurant, so I ordered the pork pad see ew ($14.95) and mild golden curry with chicken ($14.95). I would've ordered a fried rice, but the mild papaya salad ($13.95) caught my attention instead. Note that the dishes come with your choice of chicken, pork, or tofu included in the price, but if you want beef, it'll be an extra dollar, and for shrimp, an extra $2. What was surprising was that the curry doesn't come with white rice. You'd have to fork out an extra $2.50 for that. I thought everything tasted great, though both the papaya salad and pad see ew was a little heavy on the sauce.

My friend ordered mango sticky rice ($12.99) for dessert and I was surprised and happy they had that available (I went to another Thai restaurant during Christmas time and while they had the mango sticky rice on the menu, they said it was not in season so they weren't selling any). I took a few bites of it and enjoyed it -- not too sweet and not too heavy! Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free Thai tea.

Service was pretty good! There's plenty of space inside for small and large groups. Plentiful parking too in the parking lot.“

“Picked up a truck load frozen chicken from here.park on street and check in at office. Have to back in from street unto the docks nice and slowly. It's a quite street so shouldn't b a problem. Newbies might struggle a little bit. Best bet is to wait untill both the docks are empty since they load fast. All the best drivers 👍👍“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“

“This bbq was very good. I can’t wait to go again. Nice portions yummy yummy.“

“We ended up coming to this restaurant because we had no other options and this was our last resort. Good thing we did come because the service was amazing The food was surprisingly really good. Not only was a food good but the portions were worth the price. Our server was extremely nice and seemed to care that we were there. I would definitely come back because we felt welcomed.“

“great food and wonderful service. very dog friendly and a really nice experience overall“

“This is a Mongolian hot griddle and prepared Chinese American fare. You choose the meats and vegetables and noodles at the cold bar for cooking on the hot griddle. You can also choose the prepared hot food at the hot bar which is mainly your staple Chinese American dishes such as beef with broccoli and General Tai Chicken etc. it’s a decent meal at a nice price of $8 per lb. They have seating inside and outside. Parking is a bit crowded during peak due to Trade Joes being next door.“

“Soooo Good! We have tried different Mongolian BBQ places and this one is my favorite so far. The food was so good. Fresh ingredients and the sauces gave it so much flavor. Very clean and friendly.“
