50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Hawaiian Gardens

“Stopped in based solely on the reviews and grabbed two pies and some cheesy garlic bread. Both were fantastic. The garlic bread was soft, chewy, cheesy and buttery. The crust and the sauce on the pies were delicious and the toppings were fresh and tasty. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“My family was the first to have dinner in this Korean BBQ restaurant. Their beef brisket, belly and bulgogi are absolutely delicious.Fresh, tender, and full of flavor. And the friendly staff are another big reason I will return and introduce it to my friends. They are friendly, fast and attentive!“

“It was a very good experience including the flavor of the food. The service here is immaculate and very caring. The meat melts in your mouth, as well as the other dishes. I would completely recommend you to come here. They have good deals and they will make you leave satisfied.“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Had the best food at Smoke Queen Barbecue: the tri tip, chicken, sausage, ribs, and delicious sides were all fall off the bone fantastic. Try the sesame slaw with spicy cucumbers, macaroni and cheese and fries. We loved the banana pudding, bread pudding, beers on tap, all with a great smile and playground to enjoy with our family. If you haven’t tried Smoke Queen Barbecue, you are missing out. So scrumptious!“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“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!!!“

“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…“

“So sad to go back to Dallas where there is NOTHING that compares to the quality of food & service at Mo Ran Gak. This was the best meal, truly. Authentic, high quality, delicious, generous portions, attentive and kind service - I could not have been happier with my experience here! I cannot wait to come back.“

“The tri tip I order today was amazing and the staff here are very respectful and attentive! Got a chance to try out the new bbq sauce recipe and it’s delicious! 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend this restaurant for the bbq lovers“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“This Korean bbq is pretty good. It's cheaper than the others n there isn't a salad bar but if the meats are good that's what's important to me. Bulgogi was good as was brisket. Attentive waiters to make sure you've got meat to grill without waiting“

“WOW OH WOW!!!! Where do I begin. RibBros is actually peak BBQ. I usually go to one closer to my house 30 min away but this stuff is worth the drive. OH MY DAYS!!! There mac is to die for and their gochujang pork belly is SO FREAKING GOOD. Love the ambiance and music choice. I be singing along eating. The worker was fantastic. If you love BBQ, u gotta check this place out. YUMMY IN MY TUMMY!!!“

“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.“

“great place! top to bottom“

“The brisket was amazing! When I get brisket at other places it's dry and not flavorful. Here, it was perfection. The Mac n cheese, beans, and potato salad were all delicious. You can really tell that they put a lot of thought into their recipes, and you can taste the quality. My only ask is that they add baby back ribs to their menu!“

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

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

“el mejor restaurant de comida Koreana.... regresaré!!“

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

“Just dined at Mad Wolf Mongolian and had a great meal. The service was very kind and got our meals prepared quickly and efficiently. The flavor was on point since you get to choose the meats and vegetables and sauces that you want. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back again.“

“DISCLAIMER***I ate half my food because the smell was amazing to know how delicious it is!

Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic middle Eastern sharwarma 🙌💕✨ thank you Kimo for sharing your delicious home cooking with us. It is truly an honor 🙏“

“Our whole family enjoys eating here, even our two young girls. We really love the smoked turkey and brisket, but all the meats are good. The service is excellent and each person really cares about the people they serve and the food they make. The place is clean, even the bathrooms are clean. We like to enjoy our meal on the small back patio.“

“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😊“

“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.“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

“Genghis Khan Mongolian BBQ is literally the best I have ever had. I have been going here for years and it is one of my all time favorite restaurants. The food is amazing and the owners are amazing also.“

“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.“

“I had the catfish and it was great . You have to eat it with the special sauce he has . DD was just outside with his meat smokers and jamming some amazing tunes. What a great guy and I will definitely go back for more. 5 big stars“

“Good food,,friendly and accommodating staffs👍“

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

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“A wonderful first time experience and we had a great waiter Hugo he was friendly and and on top of everything we needed.“

“I've tried just about everything on the menu at Shady Grove Foods and nothing disappoints. I can close my eyes and put my finger on the menu and I would be happy wherever it landed. I had Sticky Bones again tonight and I'm as thrilled as the first time I tried them and all the other times I've had them and in fact I feel like tonight's were the best ever. I seriously enjoy their food and hospitality. The hardest part is driving back to Cal Heights without opening the box and start eating. Compliments to the whole staff and guys cooking it up in the back. It's about to get even better real soon. I can't wait. Stay tuned. . . .“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“The place is small and a little old, but it’s pretty well known around OC for Korean BBQ ribs. The prices are a little high, but the food is really good. Both the beef short ribs and pork ribs have great flavor without being too heavy, and you can really taste the meat. The side dishes are simple but good, and I especially liked the seasoned minari. It goes really well with the meat. Not a fancy place, but I’d definitely come back for the ribs.“

“I ordered the $39 lunch course. Unfortunately, the portions were quite small, and the food itself was honestly underwhelming.

The braised short ribs came with about one piece of meat per person, and they were way too sweet for my taste. The brisket soybean paste stew was also very greasy. The gujeolpan was delicious, but the portion was extremely small.

That said, the service was top-notch. The atmosphere was also beautiful—it’s hard to find a Korean restaurant with such a nice ambiance. I just wish the food and portions were better for the price.“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“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 ❤️“

“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 staff here are the friendliest I’ve ever had at a Korean BBQ place. Along with being friendly, they are quick to bring you what you need. The food is great and the service is awesome! Love this place!“

“Honestly surprised this place isn't rated higher! Came at like 6:30 pm seated right away, menu is very straightforward. The quality of the meat is phenomenal and they cook it for you. The kimchis and pickled vegetable array is unreal I literally would eat here over and over again. It's a very straightforward experience but 5/5 stars!“

“For someone who adores beef, their beef bowl is da bomb, big and juicy just the way I like it. My boyfriend also had the big bros house special and I honestly don’t know which is best cause the sauce is heavenly.“

“Came in today since I was in the area and saw many good reviews . Great customer service, everyone was friendly . Don't let the sketchy surroundings intimate you . I came late so they had ran out of what I wanted, but what I got was still good . I got the 3 meat plate everything with extra chicken and it was full of flavor . Recommend !“

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

“Aaron and Vicky were the best. Vicky was so quick on bringing our orders out. Aaron explained everything as if he was the chef himself. I would believe it if this restaurant would be owned by them.

The food is the most delicious. $39 for all you can eat. It gave us favorable ribs and bulgogi. Those were our favorite.

We had the order rice paper, tortilla, and salsa constantly since we were with Mexicans. They totally understand their customer. Worth thr drive for quality.

I was able to enjoy my squid cut up by small. Constant grill change. It was impressive.

Plenty of space for a family reunion.“

“Was in July 12th. The owner was amazing, Ashton !! Great job!!!! Great food!!!! Can not say enough about how we were welcomed. Cocktails were so beautifully presented. Food as well.
Do yourself a favor and go!!
