It’s rare I’m impressed with smoked bbq but the food was really good! Very impressed. In my opinion much better than the previous places that were here before. Definitely be back soon! Gabe 4 start for atmosphere only because there isn’t much else going on here to give it 5 stars.
A turn off the highway to The first barbecue place that I have seen on the map. This is a must go place. You should definitely try it out.
Checked this spot out yesterday for the first time. Had Brisket, Ribs, Tri Tip, Potato Salad, and Mac n Cheese. Everything was fresh and delicious! I have a hard time finding good brisket. This was juicy, tender, and the perfect ratio of fat to lean meat! They have Stubborn fountain soda as well, I like that as it's more naturally sweetened instead of using HFCS. Thank you for the excellent meal!!!

Mount Diablo BBQ is a highly praised restaurant known for its delicious smoked meats and friendly atmosphere. The meats, including brisket, tri-tip, ribs, and burnt ends, are smoked to perfection, offering rich flavor with just the right amount of smoke. The brisket is often highlighted as fantastic, and the tri-tip is cooked to a perfect medium-rare. The burnt ends are tender and flavorful, while the ribs are fall-off-the-bone good with a balanced smoky taste.
The menu also includes a variety of sides such as mac and cheese, slaw, potato salad, baked potato, and beans, with many reviewers emphasizing the quality and taste of these accompaniments. A notable feature is the salads, like the Santa Maria tri-tip salad, showing that the restaurant offers more than just traditional barbecue. The cheddar jalapeño sausage is described as juicy and flavorful, adding to the diverse options.
Sandwiches are served on a bun that is both firm and tender, ideal for BBQ sandwiches. The restaurant uses a standard and spicy sauce available for added flavor, though the smoked meats are flavorful on their own. The staff is friendly, attentive, and helpful, especially in addressing dietary needs like gluten-free options.
Overall, Mount Diablo BBQ impresses with its high-quality meats, generous portions, reasonable prices, and inviting decor. While a few minor service issues have been noted, the consistently positive reviews suggest it is a great spot for authentic barbecue and a welcoming environment.
