38 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Monrovia

“We enjoyed my birthday dinner tonight at Jakes Roadhouse. The food is delicious and the friendly service was great.“

“I was visiting with my Mom the other day, and we were looking for a place to get a quick bite to eat. I am very glad we stopped here! They have a lot of choices, and we both ordered the mixed Hawaiian BBQ meals. It arrived in a disposable container, and it was full to the brim with meat, rice, macaroni salad, and vegetables. So delicious, and enough for both of us to take home for dinner. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are very generous, and most of all, delicious!“

“This historic building is home to friendly spirits that are present at every event. The food here is delicious, the drinks reasonably priced, the karaoke low key and friendly, the bands and DJs high energy.“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Came here pretty much when they opened for the day, there was already some people inside for a Saturday. When we finished eating, the restaurant was barely half full?

Food wise, the bbq meats are pretty decent cuts for what you pay for and the big shrimp we ordered is actually pretty good. They didn't have a real fishy smell, which is a plus, knowing some places just serve what they have sitting out.

There is a sauce bar with appetizers near the front of the restaurant, the bar itself is already baked into the price, there isn't any extra fee. There is also a self serve sherbet freezer with three flavors: vanilla, chocolate, and rainbow, as of writing this.

For the non grill foods, the soup and cold noodles are decently portion, definitely should split it up with others so you don't overfill. The popcorn chicken can be ordered as a half order, and to my surprise, it actually is pretty decent in terms of texture and juiciness, only downside is I wish they used some spice in the coating to give it a bit more oomph.

Overall, if I am ever in the area here, I might consider coming back when I'm looking for AYCE.“

“Great service, and very good BBQ. Didn't get to try the beef ribs (only available day &sun), but the brisket and riblets are tender and juicy so so good 😁“

“My aunt recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed! Everything was so delicious and we eat Asian food often so that saying a lot! The pork chop in particular was really crispy and fresh, the fried rice was excellent, the duck and chicken were both super as well. The food came out very fast as soon as we ordered it, and the service was great. Unfortunately, the restaurant is a bit small, but I am kind of glad about that because that way they're able to keep us so good. 100% would go again (we actually ended up eating in the next day because it was so good!). They are also so incredibly helpful when we thought we left a credit card there, they took out our information so that they could call us if they found it and even search the restaurant. Definitely recommend this restaurant!“

“Walking by thus place to a movie, the air was sweet and smoky. IT SMELLED SO GOOD, even when it was closed. So. I had to try it when we left. I was on my way to dinner, didn't matter, bought 3 meals and a blueberry pie (enough for 2 unless you play football), home next day I tried everything. 5 stars on everything.

I can't fathom that there's better Anerican style barbecue within 20 miles. It's takeout only.

Vegetarian options: Not really, there's sides but the greens have turkey, so enjoy your pie and macncheese.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“If you know, you know.

This little hidden gem serves great Indonesian and Hawaiian comfort food classics. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but if it’s your first time, you must try the crispy fried chicken and the Indonesian fried rice.

This place is clearly run by people who care about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the product.

There’s not a lot of space inside, so it’s generally a takeout spot, but don’t let that deter you from trying it.“

“They used a heart-shaped rainbow sticker to attach a receipt to some old man's bag and he had an absolute epic meltdown on facebook. 5 out of 5 stars. Keep up the good work.“

“Great place for a group to hang out, drink, and eat some food. Very cool atmosphere. Like an old timey tavern from Chinese dramas. Good, fast service. Order food on a tablet. There are options to omit scallions and cilantro for people who don't like them. You can also call the servers from the tablet, otherwise they leave you alone. Had a live performer (singer) when we went.“

“Great ihaw ihaw and crew are very friendly“

“This place is an amazing dining experience. A great alternative to Korean bbq or hot pot, you order different skewers and let them cook in front of you, then enjoy. All the different meats and vegetables were delicious and offered lots of variety so there is something for everyone. The grill automatically twirls the kebobs giving an even cook, and the sauces and spices are very flavorful. Very helpful staff and clean interior.“

“They are back! And now they deliver, really great service and more importantly back to the same great food! This is the same bbq sauce i grew up on... i hope they keep this up and im defiantly going to order again.“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“I had a great experience at [Skewer Place Name]! The variety of skewers was impressive, and the flavors were bold and delicious. The meat was tender, and the seasoning was spot on. The veggie skewers were also fresh and cooked perfectly.

The ambiance was cozy and lively, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. Service was friendly and attentive, though it is a bit pricy for skewers.“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“Great selection! Very clean, tasted really good. So happy they are close by!“

“for the price, it's perfect. i encourage you to order way too much, and definitely get the duck and roast pork.

look, it's not the "worlds best duck" or whatever. but it's SOLID. to me, a solid, consistent place deserves 5 stars. the folks there are nice too. helps if you speak mando or Canto but the menu has English translations. and cash only!!“

“Amazing food, service, and vibes. Chan is the man, and his food is so good, especially the lemon pepper wings. Perfection. Sliders were so good, bun toasted to perfection. They have a nice patio and service was super fast. Highly recommend!“

“Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum! ! ! ! !
Yesterday, my friend brought me to eat it once and I fell in love with it. I can’t wait to come here and try it myself again today.
It’s really delicious. I’m willing to drive a luxury car and live in a mansion just to eat here every day.“

“Came here to try your their Hainan chicken rice to compare with other restaurants. We ordered the combo for 4, came with 2 plates of already deboned chicken, 4 bowls of rice and soup stock, 1 plate of stirred fry Shanghai choi and 1 playe of smashed cucumber pickle and small tub of pried peanuts. The chicken was mediocre , the soup stock tastes like warm water which is really puzzling with all the chicken that they served. The 2 dipping sauce were not enough for the entire chciken plates. They charge extra if i you ask for more. Order through the QR code. Doesn’t work when we were there.“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“Didn't know they had more than one restaurant in the L.A. area. This is the second one we tried and it didn't disappoint, it was just as good as the first time and second times we visited the Koreatown location. The service, the food, everything is great.“

“The best skewers ever. We drove seven or eight hours from Northern California to eat. The ingredients are fresh and taste great. There is a man who looks like the boss and is very nice. We were served quickly knowing we were hungry. Thank you for the delicious food. See you next month.“

“it's a friendly place with alot of happy smiles, it's food is great! best Hawaiian food I've tasted in a while... u can usually catch the owner at the shop and is always willing to talk to u as if u are part of the family.“

“10/10 hands down the best BBQ!“

“This place deserves the hype cause at this price for all you can eat?!!! This place is FIREEEE. You can eat as much food as you want included with rice, soup, bread, AND spring rolls. They even gave us extra oranges. I love it here. I will come back here for sure. 👍“

“It's the best! Been hooked for 5 years! Lol“

“Loved it here! Easy to make a reservation over the phone. Staff was very attentive, helpful, and kind. I was able to enjoy their premium AYCE meats for free because of their monthly giveaways. My review comes from honesty, not for the sake of it being free. I really liked the brisket and the marinated bulgogi. The brisket was soft, the bulgogi had a great flavor. Side dishes were nice, I especially enjoyed the cucumbers and the fish cakes. I honestly could eat a whole bowl of just the fish cakes. The kimchi was crunchy and flavorful. The spicy pork bibimbap was good, had a generous serving of pork, and is a big enough portion to share between two people. I appreciated the casual atmosphere, there was music, but it was playing softly enough that I didn't have to shout to be heard around our table. Whoever made the playlist has good music taste. There was a decent number of TVs as well playing the NBA playoffs. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and I recommend it to anyone looking to try it! :) Thank you for the great experience.“

“Had an amazing time at this restaurant! The grilled fish was absolutely bursting with flavor—perfectly cooked, soaked in a rich, spicy broth with tons of garlic, peppers, and veggies. We picked the spicy level and it was just the right kick to wake up your taste buds!

Loved the fun presentation on the hot plate, keeping everything warm and bubbling throughout the meal. The little details (like the sesame seeds, jalapeños, and vermicelli noodles) really made it feel authentic and satisfying.

Also tried the crispy silkworm pupae—definitely an adventurous snack, but surprisingly addictive once you get into it!

Cozy vibes, friendly staff, and solid menu. Highly recommend if you’re into bold flavors and something a little different from your usual dinner spot. 💥🐟🌶️“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner on Saturday July 2nd. Included Ribs, Chicken and Tri-Tip! Wow, did that go fast and I asked how was the food..... 5 stars especially the thin sliced Tri-Tip (made great sandwiches). Thank you Diane and crew. We will be back.“

“Really, really good food. The pork ribs were amazing.“
