49 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Fontana

“So I was celebrating New Year's Day in Fontana with family but there wasn't very many bbq places open near us. There was however Richard's BBQ nearby, and I like to try new things, so I gave him a call and he said he was smoking up some pork ribs and was selling meals with ribs, homemade beans and corn for $20. I decided to buy a few plates and we were all pleasantly surprised at just how good the ribs were. The ribs were fresh and hot and fall off the bone tender just how I like it. The beans were also tasty, more savory than the typical sweet style of beans you usually get at most restaurants. The beans were meaty, and I could taste some spice mixed in. It was very flavorful and hearty, but not overbearing like chili beans, it was very good and the savoriness was an excellent accent to the meat. The meals also came with corn on the cob, steamed perfectly by the way, and a little container of barbecue sauce On the side. It was a hearty and delicious meal. I will add that Richard packed everything perfectly in the containers, there are major restaurants that can’t do as good as a job as he did. I will definitely be going back.

“Absolute worst Hawaiian food on earth 45 minutes I waited for my order and I went through the drive-through“

“I'm a truck driver and I want to thank you for not being greedy on the parking lot in charging a lot of money for the parking, Just whatever we spend on food and I don't know if you got a new cook but the food tastes really good 😋😋
DRIVERS WE HAVE TO BE REALLY THANKFUL TO PLACES THAT STILL VALUES OUR LINE OF WORK AND THEY DON'T TAKE ADVANTAGE, BY BRING THEM OUR BUSINESS!!!“

“Absolute best barbecue ever! You will not be disappointed! There’s not one thing there that I wouldn’t give an A+ rating to! I’ve been there twice this week and this is going to be my go to place. Lucille‘s Doesn’t even compare and that used to be my favorite but this place beats it by far! Also, their customer service is amazing! Some thing that every other restaurant has been lacking! Way to go Spirit of Texas!“

“I went to grad school at U. of Hawaii, Manoa and when I moved to So. Cal., I couldn't help noticing the lack of local Hawaiian fooderies. Ono Hawaiian and L&L Hawaiian seemed to be the only game in town, and they served a purpose satisfying my craving. There used to be a Family run place in Loma Linda some years ago, but they disappeared. Gradually, I stopped looking for authentic Hawaiian family places and also stopped eating at Hawaiian restaurants. Now I know Aloha K(ona) exists and the world seems right again. I went with a friend who had the Spam Loco Moco, and I had the Ohana Kalua Pork. I adore, nay, worship kalua pork. Aloha K did not disappoint. Smoky slightly salty kalua pig, 2 scoops rice and a unctuous macaroni side. Nothing more comforting than that unless it was my friend's spam Loco with two over easy fried eggs on top of a slab (literally a SLAB) of Spam on cabbage with 2 scoops rice and the same glorious macaroni. To top off, we both ordered a Spam musubi appetizer - two nori-wrapped bricks of rice topped with, again, virtual SLABS of Spam. This is comfort food at its finest, and the price, compared to Ono and L&L, beats it all. I won't tell you how much because you need to visit Aloha K yourself to find out. Next visit, Chicken katsu.“

“The meat melts in your mouth. You can tell it has totally made with YOUR BBQ needs in mind. Santos the owner really shows off his passion in all the details he puts into his BBQ.“

“Amazing food and exceptional service! The meat was incredibly fresh, juicy, and packed with flavor. The staff was super attentive, warm, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from start to finish. Great atmosphere as well—definitely coming back again soon!“

“this is my favorite place to sit in and eat at. the staff is always kind, they even recognize you if you come a few times. that's so sweet and rare out here in socal(so I've noticed) the coffee cake is to die for, Jim is a professional sweetheart, and now I know how amazing magic night is. Woody's in grand terrace is a little treasure. I love them.“

“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.“

“Kyra and Patty was awesome!!!“

“We came here on a Monday around 2pm. There was no wait and a few tables were taken. The service was good, both our server and the runners were friendly. The selection during lunch was good as well, not too much and not too little. My kids enjoyed this Wagyu Factory in Rancho.

My only issue is that the bathroom was that the bathroom wasn't as clean. And when you have young children it makes things difficult.“

“Adri was such a great staff member her customer service was the best and the food matched highly recommended..“

“First time going the fish was great I’m gonna have to try those ribs again I’m from the Midwest I’m use to fire on the grill not this oven cooking and calling this grilling. Was not the taste I’m looking for when it comes to grilling it’s almost sickening but the fish was good!“

“Excellent food , it was busy and a large group was near us. No worries they were having fun. Be it just was a bit Loud at times.“

“Went to Lucille’s and had the BEST service ever with the best waitress ever. Her energy, friendliness and service were absolutely amazing! We definitely will be back and ask for BERLYN L, she made our experience the best! We will definitely be back and ask for her table.“

“Love the older women and the younger women. The food was amazing and so sweet to my kids. I could eat here all meals. Food is fresh and so much flavor! Even got my picky eater to eat his food. My daughter told them my son’s eggs allergy (very light barely an issue). They made sure his food wasn’t near the egg or had any egg. Not saying it was safe for someone with worse allergies but they made the effector.“

“Yes, one of the best Korean BBQ“

“The food is not that great it's a little expensive but the service at the cash register is impeccable super friendly The restaurant is clean But they need to pay attention to their vegetarian customers and not use the same stick For the meat and Vegetarians“

“love this family place recommendation 10000000%%%% 🙈🙏the food is so good you wont regret it they make it just the way u ask fresh 10000%%%“

“Tom catered our wedding 5 years ago. Our guests were all raving about the food and going back for seconds and thirds. His portions were so generous we had a ton of leftover food. The pulled pork was absolutely heavenly! Very professional and he pulled up smoking the meat still which made my venue smell divine! Would absolutely hire him again for a party and have recommended him several times.“

“Good Spirits and Food 👍🎱🍻“

“Great place!! Awesome service!“

“🤤 FAV ALL YOU CAN EAT SPOT IN RIVERSIDE. BEEN GOING HERE FOR YEARS. ALWAYS SATISFIED. GOOD PRICING.“

“Driving to a sporting event around noon and needed lunch. Wife pulled it off Google map and totally worth it! Hadn’t had this good a Mongolian bbq in YEARS! The sesame chicken, dumplings and Mongolian beef were just as delicious, definitely worth a trip, specially if hungry. I suggest the Mongolian BBQ! Sooo gooooooood“

“First walking in you notice the great atmosphere. Clean looking bar. I was greeting within a minute of sitting down. Bartenders were great. Especially the one with bird tattoos on her neck. The food, sliders and tacos, were good. Chicken slider was nice and tender. The restroom (male). Very clean and did not smell. Minus the lack of soap, but had an additional wash station. The patrons at this location had a great vibe and this establishment is dog friendly. This is probably one of the best breweries I've been to in a long time.“

“Always good time here, good drinks, good food, fast service, hai price is right.“

“Great time Very friendly and will go out of the way to help you with anything I suggest you get plenty of drinks before going out Had the best time and beautiful course“

“You need this gigantic pork cutlet in your life! 🤤 Dubu Tofu House in Eastvale is serving up bold Korean comfort food inside Cravings Food Hall, and the portions are no joke. From Wang’s crispy pork cutlet with house-made Korean katsu sauce to tender Bo Ssam wraps, spicy tteokbokki, comforting beef tofu soup, and juicy beef mandu, every dish hit the spot. Bring your foodie bestie because this is definitely a sharing-style feast—and one visit might turn you into a regular.“

“It’s delicious food almost always“

“Went with the barbecue chicken dish and my daughter got the grilled chicken dish. I liked the flavor a lot. We both opted for more veggies as opposed to Mac and cheese. Sorry, not a fan of Mac. The veggies were OK. I added some soy sauce to the veggies though to add some flavor to them. I added the hot sauce to the chicken but that's more of a preference. Overall really good for the price. Two meals and a drink for around $20. Not bad.“

“The food is soo good. The service, not so much“

“Food is always delicious and service is good too ! ☺️“

“Good food and good experience. We had beef ribs, brisket and chicken breast along with Brussel sprouts, cornbread and Mac.

Food was real, freshly made and tasty.

Favs were the brisket, Brussel sprouts and cornbread.

The Mac and chicken breast were least favs but just for preferential reasons. The Mac was very soupy/creamy. The chicken was the thin cut breasts, which are easy to overcook.

Service got 4 stars instead of 5 because they were not clear regarding splitting the bill so the end of our visit was a little confusing. They also forgot a couple of items but we understood that being a larger party, makes remembering everything a bit challenging. Overall, staff were kind and attentive enough during our visit.

We would visit again.“

“This place just popped up and, despite the location, all of the old reviews and pictures are for the Korean fried chicken joint. Ignore that. This place is great. Fresh noodles, everything is steamed and super clean, it's reasonably priced, and it's a nice place to sit down and have some of the best noodles around. This is a different style compared to some of the other places in Rancho, so give this a try and you won't regret it.“

“My wife and I are disabled and attempted to order online about 7:30pm Tuesday, 1/20/26 so she could pick up. For some reason it kept rejecting our cards. An employee Nick was so very helpful, polite and accommodating. it was very refreshing for me to hear this as so many young folks would have just said sorry try later. He spent almost an hour with my wife, communicating with his manager to make it happen and even got us a discount for the problem. Thank you Nick for going above and beyond and the respect you showed my wife.If you were my employee I would give you a substantial raise and would bè in line for management position. Thank you again my friend!“

“I had never been there before...Excellent Fresh food!! I give it a 10 +!!�“

“One of the best Korean BBQ places in the in my opinion. The meats are always perfectly marinated. There is a plethora of sides. The service from all the waiters be hosts always on point. Very generous with a Bachchan sides. If your going to spend 50+ dollars on any KBBQ it has to be here not at Gen, U-Grill or any other big chain restaurants they are not at the same level as this establishment.“

“Great food! Reasonably priced, and large variety of plates and sides.“
