50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near La Mirada

“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.“

“My husband and I come here every 2–3 weeks whenever we're craving Korean BBQ. The quality of the meat is always consistent, which is something we really appreciate. No matter how many times we visit, the food never disappoints.
The staff are always friendly, attentive, and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable from start to finish. We always leave feeling satisfied and happy.
As someone who grew up enjoying Korean BBQ in Korea, this place brings back the flavors I remember. Whenever I'm craving authentic Korean BBQ, this is our go-to spot. In the Buena Park and Fullerton area, Ribs & Co is simply the best. Highly recommended! Ribs & Co Premium meats and a focus on authentic Korean BBQ are part of what makes the restaurant stand out.“

“Great food and friendly service. We two ordered a small meat combo, and the portion size was just right, we both felt full and very satisfied. I also love the taste of their Dongchimi, it had a refreshing taste that paired with the grilled meat. This restaurant also provides many complimentary side dishes. I love it here.“

“Got 1b Barbacoa,3 small consome and three drinks for 3 ppl, paid around 70. It was very much worth it, more than enough food for everyone. I appreciate that the consome came with garbanzos and rice,honestly best ive ever tasted. Also tried their cucumber limeade, excellent perfect pairing. Finally, fresas n crema was perfect thick sweet cream. Would definitely come back and recommend!“

“Brandon was our server and he was so nice, so funny, and explained everything to us loved it!! The wall decor is awesome, they even had robots serving your side dishes! The Diamond Tier was awesome with grade A5 the dry aged wagyu was melt in your mouth good! Just as good as what we had in Japan. Brandon cooked them up for us and we enjoyed talking with him. Celebrating my husband's birthday they sing and have some ice creamsicles ube or honeydew flavors. They do have drink stations, some extra food stations, a dessert station all of which you can walk around to grab yourself. The Otoro thick cut and black pepper beef cubes were our other favorites. Can't wait to go back!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a great experience at this BBQ restaurant! The food was delicious, fresh, and cooked perfectly. What really made our visit special was our waiter, Chae. He was so nice, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire meal. He made sure we had everything we needed, checked on us regularly, and created a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel very comfortable. His excellent service truly stood out and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

The only small disadvantage was that some desserts were not available during our visit, especially the matcha crepe cake and chocolate crepe cake, which we were looking forward to trying.

Overall, it was still a wonderful experience. Highly recommend this place, and if you get Chae as your waiter, you’re in great hands! 🔥🍖😊“

“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.“

“• Pricing is reasonable for the area; portions match what you pay and nothing feels overpriced.
• Mostly self‑serve with a simple setup; staff brings out certain items but overall you grab what you need.
• Staff is polite and efficient; parking is easy with plenty of spots, and the location is convenient to access.“

“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

“straight to the point. this place is outstanding from the food to the service to the ambience 100% satisfied special thank you to our server gracie. she did a excellent job“

“Servers were so kind and sweet and always had a really bright smile, I’m mainly writing this review because the servers were so nice to us! The meat is also very high quality and fresh, the galbi, rib fingers, and the beef tongue were especially tasty. They also have free self serve ice cream as a desert after you’re finished eating. My mom was eating the ice cream outside the restaurant and one of the workers noticed she didn’t know where to throw it away and even took our trash for us after we left the restaurant. Really appreciate how sweet the workers were and how high quality the meat was, highly recommend coming here!“

“I finally tried Oniku in Garden Grove after hearing about it, and honestly it was better than I expected.

I like that you don’t have to choose between BBQ or hot pot , you can do both at the same table, which is nice when going with family or friends.

They have a few options:
Standard Shabu AYCE $38.95
Premium BBQ AYCE $46.95
Premium BBQ + Shabu AYCE $53.95

My family went with the $53.95 one so we could try everything, and it felt worth it.

The meat was pretty good for AYCE beef was nicely marbled, short ribs were tender, and the beef tongue was thin and easy to cook. Seafood was fresh too, I liked the shrimp and scallops.

There’s a self serve area with veggies and sides, so you have more to choose from. Service was quick, and the robot bringing food out was kind of interesting.

Parking was easy, plenty of space when we went.

Overall, good food, fair price, and a chill spot to go with a group. I’d come back.“

“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😊“

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

“The chefs make food from fresh ingredients which is cut throughout the day.

And the owners are friendly and awesome to talk with.

You never have to wait in line for too long either.

They also have free drink refills.

The free drink refills adds to the value of the meal.

If it were possible, this place would be given a 6/5.

It’s a must eat!“

“Wow… I have been wanting to bring home dinner from Steve’s after work, and I was finally able to time it right. The food was unbelievable!
The flavor of the brisket was perfect and so tender. The twice baked potato was the best that I have ever had. They were very kind when I picked up my food, and the restaurant looked so beautiful inside. I will be back hands down!“

“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“

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

“The BBQ is so good for me. Service was friendly and fast, and the overall atmosphere was warm, laid-back, and full of that Chinese BBQ charm. Whether you're a BBQ lover or just hungry for something hearty and satisfying, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Sakura Grill is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Japanese-inspired dishes served in a relaxed, casual setting. The menu has a nice variety, and everything comes out well-prepared and consistent. The grilled items are especially satisfying tender, well-seasoned, and cooked just right.

Service is friendly and efficient, and orders are handled quickly whether you’re dining in or taking out. The atmosphere is simple and comfortable, making it easy to enjoy a laid-back meal. Overall, Sakura Grill is a solid go-to for dependable, tasty food with good value.“

“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.“

“What a gem this BBQ spot is! Whittier is so lucky to have Bibs Ribs and how lucky are we to have this staple in our own backyard! I will be going back!

Just stop reading, do yourself a favor and go check it out for yourself! You won’t regret it or go anywhere else again for BBQ!!!“

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊“

“Great ihaw ihaw and crew are very friendly“

“I can’t believe I have finally found a barbecue place in Whittier worthy of going to at least every other week. The meat is amazing. The flavors are phenomenal , The meat is juicy and tender. Definitely stop by if you’re needing some good barbecue..“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“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…“

“I’ve been going here once a week for a while now. Today I ordered the grill cheese with tri-tip and once again it didn’t disappoint. The sandwich is actually two meals for me. Give this place a try.“

“Good Foood ❤️❤️❤️ also the bibingkinitan“

“It’s expensive, but the quality of the meat is excellent. Don’t compare this place to AYCE KBBQ. I come here once or twice a year because it’s far, but it’s worth the trip. The bean stew tasted different from last year—this time it seemed overboiled or not freshly made.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“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 food friendly people“

“What an amazing local find! The BBQ was incredible, but the service from Michelle really put it over the top. She was so polite and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of the whole time. If you love a great 'mom and pop' restaurant with a welcoming vibe, you have to check this place out!“

“I dropped by to try the skewers. I ordered a pitcher of beer to go with them. I got the beef vessel, tendon and intestine as well as the lamb, pork belly and chicken gizzard. It was fun watching them rotate on the grill automatically. They have some games you can play to win prizes.

The service was good. I think there was mainly one person handling the tables and he was very efficient.

There's no parking lot. I had no issues finding free parking in the neighborhood.“

“Great service and great food“

“We were recently passing through Pasadena and boy, did Yelp come through for us when picking a place to eat! Craft by Smoke & Fire in Old Town Pasadena ended up being the perfect choice. It was a beautiful evening and we opted to sit outside. We were lucky enough to have Stephanie as our server…and also lucky to be there during happy hour – you gotta love a 2 for 1 drink special! It was hard to choose between all the craft cocktails, but we ended up ordering Lulu Lemons which were excellent! I play mixologist when entertaining at home, and when I expressed interest in recreating this drink for our friends, Stephanie was kind enough to share the recipe! The menu is full of yummy Texas-style BBQ options made from locally sourced meat, and it was hard to choose. We landed on brisket grilled cheese with a side of mac & cheese (can you have too much cheese?!) and a harvest brisket salad. Both were so delicious. The outside table area was pretty full and although she was covering a lot of tables, Stephanie was knowledgeable when guiding us through the menu, super attentive and personable to boot! We look forward to returning…and to checking out their Anaheim location as well!“

“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!“

“Friendly cool environment light Hawaiian music employees are friendly and helpful

I’m very picky about where I get my teriyaki.
My sister had brought me a bowl to try out.

I got the small bowl. Just the teriyaki chicken and rice. They give you a lot of chicken and big pieces too. They also have extra teriyaki sauce and hot sauce. Ohh and they have free fountain drinks between 2-4 pm. My order was to go. Love this spot.“

“First time trying this place, was a bit of a wait for the food but seems to have been made fresh. Everything was pretty tasty, chicken Katsu was crispy and BBQ beef was tender. The spam musubis are a good quick bite. I feel this place is a good enough alternative from Ono or L&L. Will definitely come back to try more of the menu!“

“Absolutely obsessed with this restaurant! It’s my go-to whenever I’m in the Walnut area and need a guaranteed delicious meal. Let’s talk about the Hainanese chicken - it’s a revelation. The texture is unbelievably tender and smooth, not a bit rubbery. You can tell it’s made with care. The chicken skin has a lovely, subtle gelatinous quality, and when you pair it with the fragrant rice and the incredible house-made chili and ginger scallion sauces… it’s just perfection. Don’t sleep on their other dishes, either. The potato noodles come in a massive, steaming clay pot with a soup base that’s both spicy and deeply flavorful. The fried buns are golden, crispy little clouds of goodness. The atmosphere is super casual and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. Honestly, for the quality and portion size, the price is a steal. This is a true neighborhood treasure, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“A fantastic spot with a great atmosphere—perfect for all kinds of gatherings. There is a huge selection of drinks and a wide variety of food options. The service is excellent, even when it’s bustling. Definitely a place worth visiting again!“

“great food and prices, service was awesome“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“On our way from LAX to Palm Springs after 10:00 pm we were looking for a quick bite to eat. Drove by this restaurant and figured we would try it.The experience was one we will absolutely recommend, regarding both food and true Chinese culture. No where near what I was expecting.We had the lamb and also beef skewers and fried rice. An appetizer was brought out that we did not order, as it was included, which was right away different and tasted unlike any other soybean and peanut I’ve experienced. It was delicious!The lamb and beef was cooked to exact request and was also delicious!While we have dined at many Chinese restaurants throughout the United States, as we travel extensively and dine out regularly this surf past any, and all other restaurants, we’ve dined in for this type of food. Here’s the difference this was not Chinese food that has been Americanized in most Chinese restaurants. This was true Chinese prepared food.I truly believe you would have to travel to China to get this quality of food and culture.I will also say that we spent 3/4 of our time speaking to Cindy, whose father owns the restaurant which caters to home cooked events at homes, so this is not their primary source of how they deliver the product to the public. The hour and 15 minutes we spent there was made so much more enjoyable as Cindy walked us through the culture the food and Wyatt tasted different because it was truly cooked to Chinese standard. So I have to say, was it the food that was the greatest experience, or Cindy‘s presence and her willingness to have an open conversation about why they do it the way they do, and enlightened us about the culture of the food,I strongly recommend anyone that wants to find out what real Chinese cuisine is and how it is cooked and prepared in China. You realize very quick that this is not your drive-through, Chinese pick up takeout, that we are accustomed to here in the United States. This is a must try for the food if nothing else and when you’re there I recommend you ask for Cindy.After visiting with Cindy, she made it a total experience for an awesome evening of culture that was absolutely excellent.It is always nice to be able to understand and realize the actual culture of cuisine you are eating. Cindy, she made an experience of great food, a completely enjoyable experience. That was absolutely excellent off the charts. Cindy made it a 2 for 1 bonus to the evening.We will absolutely be driving from Palm Springs back to the restaurant. It was absolutely enjoyable. Not to mention the cost was nowhere near what we expected. It was almost like we ordered off a lunch menu for cost and the food that was delivered, and was ample to feed 4 instead of just the two of us.Thank you Cindy for an enjoyable evening and thank your father for being an unbelievable chef. The experience was one we will fondly look back on and make sure we repeat again.“
