“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!“

Definitely one of my go-to spots!🤩“

“Ordered wonton + roast duck noodles soup! Food took along time to come out prob due to lunch hour! Roast duck tasted great, wonton was a little salty but overall the food was good enough that I would return! It’s nice to see a family business flourishing.“

“Delicious slow cooked meats and friendly staff and ordering ahead is very convenient we like the breakfast burritos, the hamburgers and brisket fries“

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

“When I ate at Hoggs Gourmet Grill, I was blown away by the flavors of their meats, sides and especially the deep-fried green beans. Everything was prepared perfectly. The restaurant was clean and the staff very responsive to our large party. 5 stars!!“

“Tropical Southern BBQ catered a union dinner meeting for me on Tuesday, 6/3/25. The food was delicious. My members can’t stop talking about how good the food was and to make sure we order from them again. The price was very reasonable and they set everything up buffet style for us. They provided more than enough utensils, plates, and napkins for everyone. I will definitely be using their services again.“

“Everything is 🔥“

“The most amazing tri trip and smoked anything!!!! Can't forget the slaw, mashed potatoes, baked beans, EVERYTHING Paul makes is great! Just love all the food“

“Good value for the family meal. Lots of BBQ chicken and Veggies. Rice and macaroni salad, crispy strips of katsu chicken. Fried shrimp for an appetizer. Order extra of their hot sauce. The BBQ sauce is also good. Just two of us at home and we work weekends -- so this is all we need until Monday. Leftovers make a great soup. Add chicken broth to the sliced chicken, rice and veggies. Yum. Add a little chopped ginger, a few drops of sesame oil and chopped green onions.“

“My wife and I visited Riverside from AZ, and the service was fantastic. The food was great , and they make the best greens I’ve ever had. I may have to see if they can overnight me some more of those 🤤🤔🤣 Highly recommended“

“Great service, amazing food. I felt very welcome as a table of one, and was seated quickly. It was my first time, and the server was very accommodating and kind. They have such a wide variety of food here! 💜“

“Very Delicious! I will definitely eat there again 🤤“

“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!“

“As soon as you start to approach you can smell the aroma as if it’s luring you in! I love the beans and the brisket the most and if had a complaint it would be that the portions are a bit underwhelming but the taste is on the money. Even though the portions are on the smaller side this is definitely a places I’d “waste” my money on!!! Treat yourself one and a while.“

“Workers are very helpful and friendly, I can take my time slow in the morning, not to selection of meats in freezer area, maybe the butcher part of the store don't need never go over there, always stocked, only problem is if the day of the sales are on Wednesday, and I in the morning at " Opening " they say there out of the things on sale...ALL OF THEM", but I'm the first person here how can that be, then the management says come back in the noontime, so "I" come back and nothing!, next day " nothing ", this has happened 4 times, why fo your costumers in order to get them to come to the market? but other then it's clean, organized establishment.“

“Katie was so friendly and provided excellent service! The food was fresh and flavored perfectly. I also ordered a mango lemonade- made fresh- and it was the best lemonade I've ever had. They also have delicious egg drop soup that was free with the order. This is the spot to come to for delicious food, great atmosphere, and great prices. Will definitely come back!“

“Good Spirits and Food 👍🎱🍻“

“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.“

“I Love my Shimp and fish with steam rice“

“Buena comida, buen precio y trato agradable“

“Em was our waitress tonight, very friendly and always made sure we were happy. Will go again.“

“The burgers are amongst the best burgers in the area in my opinion. The cheese is always melted, the burger is fresh, and I never had old or wilted lettuce from here and it’s always fresh just for your order. The fries can use a bit more salt but I always just ask for some on the side. I can barely finish the food due to the heavy portions they give. The guy at the front is always ready to take your order and the service is great!“

“Pretty dang good food. Price point is a little high tho if I'm being honest. I got the #15 and a side of shrimp rolls and it was 28 bucks. It would have been enough to share but even at 15 bucks a head that's pretty expensive in my eyes. I don't think I will be a frequent flyer but I would definitely eat again if someone else was buying.“

“Good stuff 😋 tried the bbq tri tip sandwich and baked beans. Sauces and beans are original recipes. Everything was fresh and served very fast.“

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

“Been comming here since 2012, love the food and prices not bad for all you can eat. Just don't think it all u can eat and take left overs home. If u want to take it to go there another option you have but other then that great staff also“

“The server seemed overwhelmed and didn’t write down our order, which led to a few mistakes. It was also very loud inside, so some items were brought out incorrectly. They also automatically added a 15% tip to the bill, which would’ve been fine if the service was better. Other than that, the food was great. I hope the service improves with better organization.“

“I feel very good here and will come again in the future.“

“The music end the service“

“It's a typical Ono BBQ, I ordered online and came to pickup. It took a few mins for them to acknowledge me and then took another 5 mins to get my food out to me. The food was hot and fresh, it was enough food with 1 of their combos to have for lunch the next day. The food is good but I felt like the flanken ribs were more bone than meat which I know happens sometimes.“

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

“Good and healthy food to eat And great for all family to eat Here“

“Most of the time the BBQ beef, rice and macaroni salad are very good. So maybe they have changed or added a cook because tonight it wasn't up to par. Meat wasn't cut as thin and was a little touch. Also, portion was more cabbage than meat. Some minor adjustments and I could give it the usual five stars. Thank you for your great food!“

“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!“

“Im from the bay area and tofu stew/galbi is one of my favorite meals to have. Im very picky/food sensitive and have to try a lot of places to find one that's just right, and unexpectedly this was that place. It beats alllll the korean tofu stew places back in San Jose for me so im shocked it doesnt seem to be a hit with other asian college students & families in Riverside (or maybe i just visit during slow days/hours lol).

They offer combo meal options which is the perfect portion for me if i add a second bowl of rice. Now I dont have to pay $40-50 bucks ordering full portion tofu stew + LA galbi that i cant even finish :') the galbi is never dry or hard to chew, the rice is delicious (very important), they seldom mess up any changes i request to my stew, the prices are fair... love it.

Ive never seen more than one, maybe two waiters working at a time so sometimes u might have to wait a lil bit to ask for something especially if there's other customers, but they're all super nice and do a great job considering they're, yknow, one person.

Im going to miss this restaurant real bad when i move back home after graduating this year.“

“I enjoyed the food“
