16 Best Barbeque Restaurants near El Granada

“Amazing BBQ and staff is friendly and do a great job!!“

“We’ve been here twice, but only downstairs, which can get very noisy. Their yakitori is very good. We also tried the mentaiko udon and grilled corn and both were good, too.

There’s a public parking garage behind the restaurant. Parking is free after 6 pm. You can enter the restaurant through the back door.“

“I honestly don’t understand why the rating is so low—it’s absolutely delicious and tastes just like back home in China. I ordered lamb skewers, grilled squid, cold noodles, and grilled cold noodles. Ever since I tried it once, I’ve been craving it every day.“

“The meat was tender and smokey with rich flavor. The ribs were tasty. My wife liked the brisket, it was moist and had good texture. The beans were ordinary. The slaw was good. Everyone liked the corn bread.“

“The best Palestinian/Jordanian/Lebanese food ever! So happy it’s open again in San Bruno 😍“

“Really good Chinese BBQ place. All of the bread items we tried were flaky and tasty, highly recommend the brown sugar one. The skewers were all solid, and I appreciated that the beef had a more teriyaki-style flavor, because too much cumin starts to get a bit sameish. In that regard, you should consider getting an order of the lettuce leaves to use as a wrap for the skewers, it's a great palette cleanser and adds some nice texture.

Would love to go again, but it's a bit far from my house and Chinese BBQ isn't something you can do too frequently.“

“When I first walked into this establishment, I didn’t know my taste buds would get a glimpse of heaven. My food was perfectly cooked and seasoned— from the wrap, to the falafel and hummus. Not only is everything delicious, but it was all so fresh I genuinely tasted the freshness. Additionally, staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, and the establishment itself is so nice. Thank you for such an authentic and delicious meal. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“My family and I decided to drop by because my mom had come here with a friend before. Upon entrance, I was sort of confused until we were led into an enormous seating area with decorated walls. We were sat down and the server, Natalie, met us with instant kindness. The menu consisted of a lot of cool dishes, but we decided on a simple meat-glass noodle combination thing that was put over one of those black circles that heats it up. After the meat was cooked, I tried some with the rice tthat was given to accompany it and everything tasted soooo good! I would HIGHLY recommend this place.“

“Easy persuasion to eat here. Good grub and fast.“

“Korean place with good vegan options. Items are labelled vegetarian on the menu, some items need to be modified to be made vegan. Clarify that the banchans are vegan (they have fish cake sometimes). Like greens, bean sprouts, and fried tofu banchan they have. Bathroom was nice and clean.

Love the mushroom tofu soup, really flavorful and they are generous with the mushrooms. Also got the hot stone tofu bibimbap, make sure to ask for no egg to make it vegan. Good option to go to if going with a group of omnis, can also accomodate larger groups as well but would consider making a reservation if the party is 6+.“

“Boneyard catered our wedding and all of the guests were pleased. The chicken, pulled pork, and brisket were true to form -- what you'd expect from a *good* BBQ joint in Texas. The staff (Rich and his family) were friendly, professional, and did an excellent job. Sides were delectable, the iced tea was perfect, and all leftovers were boxed up at the end. Needless to say, we enjoyed the leftovers. Highly recommended.“

“I usually get the kalbi and chicken katsu half and half, and it is consistently solid every time. The portions are filling, the kalbi is flavorful, and the katsu is crispy and reliable. It is one of those comfort meals where I know exactly what to expect.

Parking can be somewhat difficult since the lot is shared with In-N-Out, which gets busy quickly, especially during peak hours. I almost always order ahead, so the wait time is reasonable and pickup is smooth.

The ambiance is just okay. It is casual and functional, nothing special. The cashiers are fine, not overly friendly but not rude, and service is straightforward.

I keep coming back because it is consistent, filling, and a good value for the price. It is not a destination spot, but it is a dependable go-to when I am craving kalbi, katsu, or classic Hawaiian comfort food.“

“The charcoal grills are a new experience for me. It was awesome! Food was delicious! Service was great! My only complaint would be for the ventilation to be better/stronger. I know to expect to smell like KBBQ after, but I think ventilation can be improved.“

“I have been here many times, mainly I stop by when I am in the area where I am in need of a quick bite. This spot stands out, because there are little to none Hawaiian eaterys within the area. This place is very convenient when I am here, they are located in a plaza with many parking spots that are available. This place is just like any other L&L, but they do have some items that other location might not have. Their menu consists of Hawaiian plates mini or regular size, seafood items, saimin (Noodle soups), appetizers, sandwiches, burgers, desserts and much more to choose from. Everything here is made to order which is always a plus for me since it is quality over quantity and I never mind the wait since I am a very patient person. At certain hours it can be very busy, but they cook and prep very fast where your food comes out quick. The staffs here are very welcoming, well trained, professional and understanding where I had never encountered an issue during any of my visits and I simply leave satisfied. You can order for dine in, order for takeout, place an order over the phone or have it delivered to you through a food delivery app. I highly recommend this place to all Hawaiian food enthusiasts. If you are in need of a quick bite just like me, to anyone willing to try something new or if you just so happen to be in the area to check them out. I definitely will be back to tryout the other delicious options they have to offer.“

“It's very hard finding crunchy chicken skin that is cooked perfectly to bring home and enjoy with rice and papaya salad!

Grill City will load a bag for you, which is only about 1LB for under $15! That's a great deal for cooked chicken skin.

There are many other great food options, but this is my go-to for chicken skin!!“
