My wife and I are visiting from Texas and did not expect to find a great BBQ place, but we did. The Ribs & brisket were tender with a great smokey flavor. The pork belly burnt ends were absolutely delicious & tender. Will definitely eat here again next time we are visiting.

I had an awesome first visit to Ribbro! The staff was super kind and helpful, which made me feel really welcome. I ordered the brisket, and it did not disappoint—tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Great service, great food—I’ll definitely be coming back!

Great Brisket Barbecue Sandwich with tasty coleslaw and potato salad. Secret Barbecue Sauce had great flavor. Beverage Bar great with crushed ice and multiple ices tea and soda options. Staff were welcoming, friendly and customer service oriented. Best Barbecue we have had in California. We were hesitant to go because location was a former Dickies, RibBro is real Barbecue, we will be back!

I have four kids 1.5-12 years old and went here for the first time, at the request of my son, for his birthday. He loves ribs. We were not sure what to order or how much, and the owner or manager gave us good advice on what to get and how to order it, making sure to include ribs and Mac n cheese for my little ones. It was the perfect amount for all 6 of us and wasn’t as expensive as getting an entire family meal, so she really helped us out. The meat was great, and the sauce options are varied and delicious. It’s neat and clean, although a little sunny in the afternoon-evening. It also was ready really fast which is super helpful when you got hungry impatient kids. They also give you free garlic toast with every meal! I wish I had time to stay for the dessert, but we will definitely be returning to try more items next time. 🍗😋🍰

Came here at 2pm as Google suggested it's the best BBQ that is open on a Monday. The sauce bar is amazing! Comes with a sink for messy ribs, gloves for the mess.. Pickles and peppers.. 3 sauces and bread. Family ordered Mac N cheese which is shells and extra cheesy.. The beans were peppered right.. We ordered burnt ends and they were candied not too sweet. The brisket was tender and ready for the 3 sauces.. Ribs were so soft not effort to pull off the bone which softened thr marrow for those that like that.. Comes right out. Chicken was glazed and crispy and the meat was juicy and soft..as a foodie I don't perfect scores often and the only knock this day was the restaurant didn't have the AC running so it was hot.. But everyone greated you and they give you space to eat.. Granted most of it after you order is self serve. Same for the to go boxes just grab what you need.

Wanted to try something new and noticed that they had a korean spicy pork (Gochujang) sandwich on their menu and went there for lunch. To my pleasant surprise, they have a bowl option with the same gpchujang pork (belly?). Oh my gosh!! If you want that amazing, high quality korean bbq spicy pork belly without having to purchase the minimum amount or bring a group of friends to justify the AYCE price, go here!! I ordered the gochujang pork bowl half and half (rice and salad) and grabbed some additional pickled onions and it is better than most KBBQ places I've eaten at! And I've tried Michelin starred kbbq restaurants or popular restaurants but this little gem does it way better!

Boom, this place rocks. Had a brisket sandwich for lunch and it was delicious. Cole slaw was great as well. Service was friendly and quick. Restaurant was clean and had a typical BBQ joint layout. Definitely will return on my next trip to Lake Forest and try some of the other menu items!

If you want a good legitimate bbq place, this isn’t it. I have found that if the sides red beans and rice, collard greens, corn bread, and Mac and cheese, it ain’t gon hit. I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich with a side of Mac and coleslaw. Sandwich was decent but needed some more seasoning/a more flavorful sauce. Mac was not great as it was not creamy, or cheesy. It was a little pastey. Coleslaw was ok but I’ve never been a big fan of coleslaw. I knew I messed up when I sad down and seen “Vegan Friendly” on the window. Vegans don’t belong anywhere near a real bbq spot. I wouldn’t tell you not to go it you want some good food but I’d tell you not to come here if you wanted a legitimate soul food experience.

Run, don’t walk to RibBro. Folks are chill. Food is bomb. Save room for the cobbler or banana pudding.
