32 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Los Altos

“It was kinda slow as I was there a little past their rush but a great time to get good service. Sadly they close way way way too early for me which was quite disappointing as I personally feel there's so much more potential for late night revenue if they stayed open even after closing the kitchen. I basically had 3 different people serving me and would go back for any one of them. They were all super nice and attentive. Food and drinks were great and prices are favorable. It's not a cheap place to eat but for the type of establishment it is they're priced fairly and not overpriced like many places of the same class. I had a Hickory BBQ bacon cheeseburger myself which comes with a side of your choice. I asked for the meat to be cooked medium rare and medium rare is what i got. ❤️ The flavor? Mmh! Amazing! I'm looking very forward to my next trip there. They also have a full bar at that location. I know they're a family oriented business but I feel they'd also do well after family hours but maybe they're satisfied with what they got and aren't needing the money. I understand many establishments prefer to cater only to specific clientele and that's understandable but many would love to see them expand and would support it. ?? For now they close at 8:30 which seems to be a typical norm for that area so get there early and enjoy. ?

Vegetarian options: It's not a vegetarian establishment but there's salads etc with no meat and I believe a meat free burger choice

Parking: Parking can be somewhat limited if it gets busy especially since there are multiple business establishments that all share common parking areas. I happened to get there at a slower time and had no issue with close up parking. There's also a shopping center across the road that could be used if parking is scarce.

Kid-friendliness: It's definitely family oriented and have games there to confirm it. Might be a great place for birthday parties, etc.

Wheelchair accessibility: Most definitely ADA compliant with handicap accessible amenities.“

“Ended up going here by chance and very happy we did! All the ingredients were prepared to perfection, good quality and fresh. We ended up sharing one box between the two of us for lunch as it is a fairly sized portion for one box. The staff was patient, well spoken and helpful. Definitely going here again and I hope they open more branches in south bay!“

“The best BBQ around. A must try, you won’t regret it.“

“Can't give enough stars.
Tried to phone in an order to save time because my puppy was in the car. They said
You can bring him in.
He's not house trained yet.
It's ok, bring him in. Is he cute?
He is.
Wow, above and beyond customer service.
I sat outside at a table with Waffles, they brought him multiple bowls of water.
I interacted with 4 or 5 staff one nicer than the next, all happy the puppy was there.
In my long life I have never felt so welcomed in a restaurant.
The barbecue and sides, ALL proper.
Some nice fatty brisket, and ribs that we're great unsauced. And a variety of tasty sauces. Pickled things were perfect.
I'm a large person and their 2 meat plate is much more than I should eat, but I finished everything.
I live nowhere near Redwood City but I'm going there again.
Thanks to all of you.“

“I like the tri-tip, roast chicken and pulled pork. Not a fan of the brisket.

The BBQ meal combos come with 2 sides, a slice of crispy grilled garlic butter baguette, pickled onions, slice jalapeno, and pickle.
The sandwiches are good too.

They have a shaded patio in the back for outdoor dining.“

“the best brunch buffet In Bay area. amazing kitchen. 10 stars“

“This place is amazing! The spare ribs are bbq'ed right in front of you along with all of the other meats. The owners are kind and very personable. :) I went here two days in a row. Delish!“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“Great food, drinks and people!“

“A old school broiler with awesome people running the business. I had the French Burger, absolutely delicious. Will be back for another great meal. Also the bathrooms are so clean and nice smelling.“

“There was one person who took our order, served the food, and was the cashier. The food was good. Even the salad that looked super simple was great. The beans were perfection! Overall good food. I also liked that it wasn't to much food or to little. Awesome little hole in the wall place.“

“Friendly and helpful staff, great environment, attentive. my first time having Caribbean food and got the jerk chicken, the extra sauce is highly recommended for the extra kick.“

“Great choices of food, tasty Chinese bbq with reasonable prices. Almost the same taste as in China. I always come to this place whenever I want a little treat at night. Recommend if you like Chinese bbq! Probably one of the best in the Bay Area.“

“Reservations are required for roast duck, and the duck rack is made into soup. The two large steamed buns stewed in an iron pot were extremely soft and the dough rose very well. We, a table of Shandongese, loved them. The meatballs taste better after absorbing the soup. The whole-fish pancakes also have the flavor of my hometown, and the fish soup is like the braised sauce made by my mother after adding bean paste. Braised pork is also my favorite. You need to scan the code on the table to order food, and the robot delivers the food, so there is no tip. I went there twice and I can feel that the owner and his wife are very nice. There was a lot left over after 5 people finished eating, and together with half of the roast duck that was not in the picture, it was 189.“

“Recently opened, so everything from food, service, and atmosphere is in great condition. I took the liberty to judge on everything from restroom to table bbq, to service staff. Let’s get to it. K I’ll.
There was 9 of us. 3:30pm. Perfect time to go. They opened at3:00. We did the 49$ per person. We got everything on the menu. Started with the beef bone marrow for all. Tasty stuff , if u like that kind of thing. Not so much 4 me. We continue with bulgogi, short rib, rib eye. And kept going. U cook it yourself. Service was excellent, but missed a few repeat items. We hammered them of soooo many side dishes. All in all we ate a ton ;). Must check it out once. We did Gen bbq many times, but wanted to try the next In” thing As always, post wherever you end up. Especially where u haven’t been to.

Vegetarian options: Really, this is a bbq.“

“If you're craving some authentic, mouth-watering BBQ in Sunnyvale, look no further than Armadillo Willy's! This place has been a local favorite for a reason, and it consistently delivers on flavor and a fantastic casual dining experience.

From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in that wonderful smoky aroma that promises good things to come. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with a classic BBQ joint vibe that makes you feel right at home.

The food here is simply incredible. Their ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender and coated in a delicious, tangy sauce that's just perfect. The brisket is another standout, incredibly juicy and packed with smoky goodness. And you absolutely cannot forget their famous mesquite-grilled chicken – it's always cooked to perfection with a fantastic char. They also offer a great selection of sides, from classic coleslaw and potato salad to their hearty chili. Don't skip the cornbread either!

What I really appreciate about Armadillo Willy's is the consistency. Every time I visit, the quality of the food and the friendly service are top-notch. The staff is always welcoming and efficient, ensuring you get your BBQ fix without a long wait.

Whether you're a long-time BBQ enthusiast or just looking for a satisfying and flavorful meal, Armadillo Willy's in Sunnyvale is a must-visit. It's a true gem for anyone who loves great American BBQ!“

“Very Good quality of meat barbecue. But service is bad.“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“We love this restaurant! Great food and beer menu and wonderful staff Food is sourced locally and in the 5 years that we have been coming here, we have always had great meals and superb service!“

“A popular Korean BBQ restaurant that has been around for many years in the Koreatown of Santa Clara. They have four sets of menu for 2-4 people. The waitress would ask you to pick out the meats as soon as you enter the door before you sit down at the table. Our waitress recommended brisket, pork belly, bulgogi (sliced beef), and galbi (beef short ribs), as well as the steamed egg for the kids. We also added a spicy BBQ chicken. The brisket and pork belly were a bit dry but still pretty tasty; the bulgogi tasted a bit too sweet; the galbi and the spicy BBQ chicken were the best. You can dip the meats in four different kinds of sauces (fermented bean sauce, soy sauce, spicy sauce, and sesame oil). Their side dishes were all very good. The set also cane with a seafood pancake and kimchi fried rice or plain rice. There was a lot of food for the set. We barely finished everything. Service was very efficient.“

“Yo, just hit up this spot the other day and gotta say, it was pretty solid. First off, the service was quick – like, I ordered on my phone and bam, food was ready before I even knew it. That's clutch.

They also got this cool little fish tank and some chill lighting that kinda sets a nice mood, you know? Not super fancy, but definitely adds to the vibe.

Now, the food itself was tasty, no doubt. Just a heads-up, it was maybe a tad on the salty side for my taste. And one other thing – they use bamboo skewers instead of the metal ones. Wasn't a big deal or anything, just something I noticed.

Overall though, I had a good experience. Quick, easy, and the place has a cool, laid-back feel. Would def check it out again.“

“This Place is so Good and Delicious!!! They have Chinese, Hawaiian and even Pho! Been coming here a lot!“

“I'm not the biggest fan of Korean cuisine, but I had a good experience at SGD I ordered the Seafood Soft Tofu Soup, which was warming & filling. My friends enjoyed their orders too, including the Bulgogi Pork and Beef Dolsot.

The vibes are cozy but maybe a bit too tight. The service seems a little frenetic - the food doesn't take long to arrive, but it's tricky to get a hold of a waiter.

If you're a fan of or interested in Korean food, I'd check SGD out at least once.“

“Very nice ambiance and great service. All staffs look professional and prompt.“

“Ordered party platters for party of 30 the day before the party and it was ready on-time. Ordered medium trays but should have gotten small since we had other food. They are very generous and the meat is piled in the trays. We ordered spam musubi, chicken Katsu and bbq chicken. All were really good. I was eating the left overs for almost a week even after sending food home with everyone. Bbq was good everyday after. Katsu because it is fried was ok. I love the Katsu sauce. There was no musubi left over. We cut the spam musubi in half so everyone could have a piece. Not cheap but makes your life easier and tastes great.“

“First time here, and I very much enjoyed the experience! There's complementary tea and nuts to munch on if you dine in. The brisket noodles also came with a broth that gave the dish a refined deconstructed Chinese ramen vibe with a delicate flavour. The service and portions were superb, and I look forward to coming back!“

“To date, we have ordered 4 times - all to go - so I can’t speak to the service or atmosphere.

However, the 4 time occurred in a 10 day span. That should speak to how good the chicken is.

My daughter, who is a very picky eater, absolutely loves the Golden Original.

We have also tried the Cheesling and the Honey Garlic.

Our challenge is that we enjoy the Cheesling and Honey Garlic too much to try something else.

It is not the cheapest, but what is when you are right next to Apple Park in Cupertino.“

“Title: Amazing Beef Short Ribs!

The beef short ribs here are incredible—tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The Hawaiian-style atmosphere is cozy, and the staff is super friendly. If you’re a fan of beef short ribs, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend!“

“Combination of hot pot and Korean BBQ at this all-you-eat restaurant in downtown Mountain View. There are also some dim sum items, but I would not recommend them. Meats were of decent quality, but some or the marinated beef was too sweet. Plenty of sauces and other herbs and spices to make your own dipping sauce. Service is super fast, but each portion is relatively small. Plenty of street parking and also several nearby parking lots.“
