50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Cypress

“The owners are incredibly kind and genuinely sweet people. You can feel the care they put into their food and their customers the moment you walk in.
The food is always FRESH, flavorful, and so satisfying. If you’re ordering for the first time (or even the tenth), get the Gangnam Style, it’s a must! Perfect balance of crispy, saucy, and absolutely addictive.
So happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Highly recommend! 🍗🔥“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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! 🔥🍖😊“

“Great service and food . The best ribs in Cerritos“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“I’ve only gotten the stock burger which is very good. Hoping perhaps one day I’ll be hungry enough for the max rib“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“We had such a great dinner here! The Wagyu thick-cut short rib was super tender and flavorful, and being able to do both BBQ and shabu made it even more fun. What really impressed us was the staff — they were so thoughtful and even helped make sure the bones we were taking home for our dog were safe. Amazing service and we’ll definitely come back.“

“RIBBRO LB is a favorite of my partner’s & I. We had been looking for a local bbq place for sometime and we came across this gem. We’ve had our monthly date night dinners since December 2025 and have no regrets about it.
The BBQ salad is delicious with any of their protein selections. The Classic BBQ sandwich is top notch as well. I’m in love with their coleslaw. Their Pitt-Boss Rice Bowl is heavenly as well. The staff service is so fantastic as well. Needless to say we enjoy coming in once a month.“

“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😊“

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

“This used to be my go to kbbq, but in all honesty they fell off a little. Maybe I'm comparing it to my new spot too much but in my opinion they've lessened on quality and service. The waitress takes my order but doesn't write it down and i end up not getting what I ordered. They kept changing the grill and not turning the heat up enough so everything took ages to cook and when it finally heated up they came and changed the grill again. The quality of the bulgogi beef has gone down in my opinion. That being said everything else was delicious. The brief biscuit was really good, when it finally arrives. Only know it's still highly recommend this place but I would suggest they write down the orders and hire a couple more waitresses. Also waaaay too loud. Turn down the loop slightly“

“Great brisket tacos! Very good fish tacos! Good service. We 2 split the surf & turf plate for about $12. It included 2 fish tacos, 2 brisket tacos, rice, beans and several chips. Everything was good or better. We loved the brisket. Recommended.“

“The chefs make food from fresh ingredients which is cut throughout the day.

And the owners are friendly and awesome to talk with.

You never have to wait in line for too long either.

They also have free drink refills.

The free drink refills adds to the value of the meal.

If it were possible, this place would be given a 6/5.

It’s a must eat!“

“Had the brisket, Mac, and cornbreads. Love the chopped brisket. A little too fatty for my taste, but provided good flavor to the meat. BBQ sauce was very good - not too salty or sweet. Mac was good, with a little peppery kick to it. Both cornbreads were very good - the blueberry would be my choice over the honey. Overall, will definitely come back to try Lou’s other meats.“

“Absolutely tasteful! Amazing service. Their style of BBQ hits the soul. Highly recommend!“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

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

“I was staying in a hotel nearby and saw this restaurant on google maps so I wasn’t sure how it would be. But honestly, this place was really excellent. One of the better Korean BBQ experiences I’ve had. All of the food was very fresh and tasty. They gave us a huge variety of dishes and I ate until I was very full, but I still felt great afterwards. On top of that, the staff were very nice. Great experience.“

“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.“

“Good food,,friendly and accommodating staffs👍“

“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 ❤️“

“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 KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Well. My Girlfriend Julie & I Love Swim Together At The Beach. & We Can Dance At Sea Salt In Huntington Beach.“

“Friendly cool environment light Hawaiian music employees are friendly and helpful

I’m very picky about where I get my teriyaki.
My sister had brought me a bowl to try out.

I got the small bowl. Just the teriyaki chicken and rice. They give you a lot of chicken and big pieces too. They also have extra teriyaki sauce and hot sauce. Ohh and they have free fountain drinks between 2-4 pm. My order was to go. Love this spot.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Good Foood ❤️❤️❤️ also the bibingkinitan“

“First time there and will return to try other menu items. We tried the Valentines week special. House made kimchi was amazing. Not your standard kimchi presentation. Loved the large chunks of daikon radish! Great hospitality from the moment we entered the restaurant. We decided to Uber bc it was noted parking could be an issue. It made the evening a lot more relaxing and enjoyable; appreciate the restaurant giving the heads up about the busy plaza, especially at peak hours.“

“Great new spot with solid BBQ and super friendly staff. We had the brisket, Gouda Mac ‘n cheese, and cornbread. Everything was very tasty, meat was super tender and flavorful. Only recommendation would be a spicy version of the bbq sauce. We’ll definitely be returning!“

“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!“

“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!“

“I’ve been craving Mongolian Bbq for a while but haven’t really explored. Saw this place with good ratings and must say, the ratings didn’t lie! It’s a cosy hole in the wall place which you know that means it’s good. Staff are very friendly and attentive, explaining the menu and how this roll. I got the all you can eat with my boyfriend, it was so much food! I will absolutely come again and I will highly recommend this place to friends!“

“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.“

“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…“

“This our first time here. We came at almost closing ( 840pm) but the employee was really nice to accomodate and still help us with the food. We ordered a combo 2 for $29 ( only online) n got it to go since they almost close. The food came out hot and portion is generous, they gave a lot of meat and sides r delish. For a bbq chain this is really good quality. Fries r crispy n well seasoned, mac cheese was good, bbq sauce was delishhh. The toast was soft but crunchy at the same time, very buttery. The meat is so juicy and tender and soft fall off the bone type. I couldnt finish my plate in 1 go n i was pretty hungry! Definitely will be back again :) 9/10“

“My server, Jose, was amazing from the moment I walked in. Even though it was a bit busy, he personally greeted me and got me seated right away, which I really appreciated. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and made me feel taken care of throughout my visit.

Jose also recommended the perfect meal
something that was both cost-effective and really satisfying. He consistently checked in, kept my drink refilled, and made sure I had everything I needed.

Thank you so much, Jose. I truly appreciate your excellent service at Famous Dave’s!“

“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!“

“Grading this on a curve of theme park food and, honestly, this ranks as high as it gets for their quick service. I got the ribs, chicken, and corn on the cob and they were all delicious. Maybe a little dry but again this is theme park quick service, so you shouldn't expect anything less. The line is usually pretty long but moves quickly. Plenty of seating, though it is all outside.“

“Great selection of meats and side dishes“

“Food was great. Server was friendly. Food came out fast. Check was big but hey what do you expect with bbq. I would go back.“

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

“Their takeout is definitely worth trying! We ordered the roast pork with rice, which came with green beans. It was simple but tasty—though we would have preferred the pork warmed up. There wasn’t much seasoning, but the crispy skin and rich fat made up for it. We also tried the BBQ pork, which was nicely charred and tender. The added BBQ sauce had a subtle sweetness that paired well with the rice. It’s cash only, no tip expected, and the service was quick and easy.“

“I just bought some roast pork and roasted duck at this Hao Vi place yesterday 2/24/2024. Their food were very good as they advertised. The service was very nice and pleasant. Severs and cashier are very friendly and courteous. Definitely I will come back anytime when I am going to O.C.“
