Came here for the closing day. Had just found out the day before that they would be closing!! What a shame!! Not too many BBQ places around here. They will definitely be missed.

This place is ok, nothing anyone couldn't do in their backyard themselves. I dont see all the hype, well maybe for Huntington Beach. Had way better down in San Diego.

I love Hambone's! It's the best when you are craving some delicious BBQ. I have never been disappointed with the food or the service. It's also a real casual environment they will serve the needs of large parties, a small family or a couple. There is a bar as well with a nice variety of beer on tap. I totally recommend this place - especially the brisket.

My family and I have been eating here for years. We have ordered take out most of the time, and recently we have been dining in. Their food is consistently delicious. No complaints at all. They have a variety of bbq sauces/ regular sauces that are great too. My boyfriend grew up eating in a southern household, and he said the food is spot on. He loves the cat fish and collard greens. He likes the Mac and cheese too (not as much as his momma's lol ) You get a hefty amount of food for the price and quality. The service here is always great too. The waiters and waitresses are very kind. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere and they have TVs that always play sports channels

I ordered the "Beast" from Hambones on Sat to feed 5 people-$155 +tax Altho the meat was good, the portion was ridiculous. I had to make extra food to feed everyone! So expensive for so little food!! Very disappointed & a total rip off

Real deal wood smoked bbq meats, good sides casual atmosphere. Get the tri tip authentic santa maria style, super tender and mouth watering. Meat sweats tonight!Parking: Wide open, plenty of parking on the west and south sides.Wheelchair accessibility: Better place for disabled parking.

Ordered two meat dinner with two sides, rolls, and banana pudding. The sides are not too bad but the meat is over smoked and dry. The one roll they gave us is the most sad excuse for a roll I've ever seen. Not going back!

This was my first time here. Came with my mom and we had a blast. We sat on the patio which is gorgeous. Wish I took pictures but I'll definitely be back to do so on my next visit. It is a little pricy but you get what you pay for. They give you a lot of food and amazing quality as well. We got the 3 meats and 2 sides (#5) Chicken: fall of the bone amazing. Tri-tip: Delicious & Brisket: Looks just like the tri-tip but when you eat it you will instantly know the difference. It was melt in your mouth delicious ?We are going low carb so opted out of the BBQ sauce and still was amazing. We got the green beans and fried okra. Dipped those babies in ranch and it was amazing! The waitress was amazing and the whole experience was top notch. Will definitely be coming back on our next special occasion.

Ordered the 3 meat combo for 1 to go---with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. The servers were very accommodating, and the place looked fairly busy. I think there was a company party or something going on lol. But anyway the bbq/sides here were amazing! Twas a perfect portion for myself, and was even able to share a bit with family. I'd come back to dine in for sure!

Smoked brisket sandwich is rich and vibrant with flavor! First bite, instant mouth watering. Kinda sad not many people go there. But do go! Casual attire and relaxed ambiance.Sandwiches come with your choice of one side.
The best BBQ in Orange County period ! Super tasty Chicken tri tip and ribs . Cooked to perfection moist meaty with smoke and topped by the best sweet and spicy BBQ sauce I have ever had . Should be sold in a bottle at Costco. Great portions. Well packaged fresh and hot. The best bbq beans around also and the banana pudding is well worth ordering in large only. Corn bread and Mac n cheese is excellent. I have eaten inside lots of times but it’s so nice to have it delivered. If you love BBQ visit in person but rest assured this bbq is great as well delivered. Well done Hambones your BBQ is great . You want the best bbq in Orange County California come here or order delivered

Hambones is great bbq! Had the baby back ribs, mac n cheese and fries last night. The ribs were seriously perfect! I usually get the brisket on a bun and that is awesome as well. Several visits, no complaints.

Baby back ribs were tender and smokey. Pastrami hamburger was also very good. Don't understand why it wasn't all that busy.

One of my regular places. This time I had the brisket fried rice. It was excellent. I used spicy bbq sauce. I didn't have the chili this time but that's a favorite.
Brandon Norris
Good local spot for BBQ. The sauces were good and the food wasn’t over cooked. Service was great, they were attentive and helpful. Plenty of beers on tap. Good place to watch the game and have good food. We will be back.
