50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Mountain View

“Tried meat only, brisket, tri-tip, and pulled pork since on keto diet right now. Brisket was tasty & tender with a good amount of smoke on it, just how I like it. What's the point of bbq if you can't really taste that the meat was smoked? Also enjoyed the tri-tip & pork. When I am in the area and have a hankering for great BBQ, which is often, I'll be back“

“I went in around 7 or 8pm. The service was super good. The food was really fresh and delicious. I got fries w/ a side of gravy & 3 pieces of Portuguese sausage. The service was fast and all of the workers were nice. It was the best I’ve ever had throughout all L&L’s I’ve been to. I will definitely be coming back. <3“

“Mixed feelings on this place. The food, flavors and offerings were good. When I first arrived with our group of four plus a kid we were promptly seated in the back room. Where the air temperature ranged from 55-58°F. While they said they would turn the temperature up, there was people already seated in this area. The end of our experience, the temperature only reached 64°F. While my friend felt we were rushed to order. I interpreted that as they wanted us to get some of the order in soon so we can see what we wanted next. I'm used to that and hot pots and/or bbq situations. So be prepared to order ASAP. But that was just the food order. It took them quite a while to ask if we wanted anything to drink. We were even already eating before we were able to order some Soju, sake, and soda. There are three items that I had to repeatedly ask for since they had not arrived. One item never arrived. The entire visit. We were also presented with three items that we did not order. So attention to detail in the ordering/delivery system is lacking. The food selection in general was okay. Flavors were good. I wish there was more seafood options. Portion size was also a little interesting pork belly seemed appropriate size portion for a table four, yet beef tongue had three razor thin slices?!? Their sauce bar was A+; Great variety of options and kept clean and neat. Multiple staff helped along the way, all friendly, and attentive (while with us but clearly mixed signals after things were submitted on there there ordering system). We also were asked if we got our ice cream at least three times. I didn't know if that was their way of getting us out the door or if they were not communicating with each other that they've already served us it. So overall a good restaurant. Seems like they still need to work some things out. I'm not sure if this is a new place or not. The variety of options in the area, I'm not sure I'll give them a second try.“

“Grab two bowls and fill with stuff of your choice. Meat and vegetable selection is ok, but not comprehensive. Tofu cubes were available if desired. Adding your own sauces and seasoning is a fun touch, and there's a helpful guide on the wall. Ice cream cones are great for finishing a good meal!“

“Great food 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍“

“At poke places, it is so important for the food to be fresh. You don't have to worry about this here. The staff is willing to help you arrange your bowl if you want any suggestions about pairings. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve been coming to this restaurant for over 30 years, and it has never disappointed. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service is always friendly and attentive, and the staff makes you feel genuinely welcome every time you walk in. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which adds to the overall pleasant experience. It’s a place I trust and return to again and again, whether for a quick meal or a special gathering. Highly
recommended for anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere.“

“We've come to the age where we value quality over quantity when it comes to food; gone are the days of overstuffing ourselves at AYCE locations. As a result, we're always in search of new restaurants where the food really hits the spot and leaves us feeling satisfied. One of my friends recommended Baekjeong, as it was his favorite and go-to kbbq spot in the bay area. I was able to book a same-day reservation for our party of 6, and we ordered 2 large beef combos. The staff cooks the meat for you, and provides around 6 banchans and 2 salad types. Our server was Risa, who was super friendly and attentive, and we felt right at home with her. She kept everything running smoothly and made us feel so welcome. The food was fresh, flavorful, and came out quickly. Since then, many days have passed, but I'll have moments where I think back and crave the food we had at Baekjeong. I'm always looking forward to the next time I can come back.

Additional notes: Free wifi is available. Restaurant is on the exterior of Valley Fair mall. Parking is by the Stevens Creek parking garage with a short walk through the mall; most of the parking directly in front is only for the bank. Entrance is on the first floor, but restaurant is on the second floor with both stairs and elevator access. There usually is a host downstairs at the entrance to admit you, and you wait in the waiting room upstairs. They give a free soda to designated drivers!“

“First time there and the food was absolutely amazing - can not recommend the brisket“

“We didn’t realize the restaurant had been rebranded but the food was even better than the original Armadillo Willy’s! I love the turkey avocado sandwich, it’s huge with big cuts of turkey, fresh avocado on tasty buttered and toasted bread.“

“Very honest and basic provider. Wood fired BBQ with no twists and turns. Sides basic and compliment the entrées perfectly. Portions are beyond generous. The 'order and pay at counter, get drinks and sit' delicatessen paradigm works well, which is probably why the value for money is gratifying. The venue is somewhat primitive, but appropriate.
Unfortunately, the experience is somewhat degraded by rather loud, pervasive, and somewhat inappropriate music. At our latest visit it was difficult to carry on a rather rudimentary conversation. This is particularly aggravating to those of us with hearing assistance devices who tend to perceive this background as distortion components.“

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

“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!“

“Great food, drinks and people!“

“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.“

“Best tritip!! best potato salad!!! best beans!!! best garlic bread!!! best customer service!!! The only BBQ I will ever eat here in south bay! prayers they come to san mateo and alameda County fairs next summer! and state fair!“

“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.“

“New Years Eve 2025 was amazing. The BBQ pork ribs were smoked, meaty and the sauce was delicious. Hope this is the recipe that will be used in the future as well. The band was fun and played music from the 70s up. For New Years reservations were required so the place wasn’t over crowded.
This is a family owned business and the entire family did a wonderful job providing an excellent experience bringing in the New Year.
We’re looking forward to going to Little Lou’s BBQ for another delicious dinner and dancing again soon! Bob and Judy Bugarin“

“The caterer for my daughter's wedding canceled a week before the wedding. Latin-Asian-Fusion Kitchen came through with exactly what was needed. The help was sincere and the food was great. Everybody complimented the food and there was plenty. Roddy responded to us promptly and kept in touch throughout the week and event. Great experience!!“

“This is a nice street food you need to try. The menu has plenty of selections. I tried lamb skews, beef skews, bean skews, fried chicken bones, and the hot pot. I like everything, except the fried chicken bones. The food is mild. The owner is really friendly. I will come back to try others.“

“Great experience! The broth base was rich and well-seasoned—far beyond expectations for a rotating buffet hotpot. Ingredients were fresh, and picking dishes from the belt was fun and easy. No tips means it’s fully DIY, which actually suits me well—I love eating without interruptions or forced mid-meal check-ins. I’ll definitely come back again!“

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

“JC's has been my go-to BBQ spot for over 25 years. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their beef ribs! The meat is always falling off the bone. And they're big! The hot links are addictive, the chicken is perfect and when I used to work close by, on my lunch break I would frequently get their pulled pork. I'm obsessed with the garden salad & dressing!! Always so consistently fresh and crisp! Would recommend 10 out of 10!“

“The Hut has the best Tri tip sandwich I’ve ever had. The pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwich is to die for!! The French fries are always yummy😋you really can’t go wrong with any thing on the menu ! My son loves the baby back ribs. The Hut is a warm , friendly, fun , place do dine!! The service is always great!!“

“Excellent food, excellent taste reasonable price“

“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.“

“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.“

“Among many Korean BBQ restaurants, this place truly stands out for both quality and value. Compared to other BBQ spots, the pricing is very reasonable, allowing families to enjoy a satisfying and filling meal together. Side dishes are generously refilled, the meat quality is excellent, and the service is consistently attentive and friendly. This is definitely a must-try Korean BBQ restaurant in the Bay Area.“

“Bob Sang Restaurant is a hidden gem near the Tesla plant in Fremont. So far, I've tried the Galbitang, Kimchi Jigae, Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, and the latest is Seoul Style Bulgogi – really great with very tender marinated beef – tasty!
Very friendly service with the small side dishes happily refilled. This restaurant has found its way into my list of regulars.“

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

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

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

“Lots of good things to say about this place. 1)Food here is da bomb!! They also give you so much food it is bursting out of the take out container.
2)The vibe is chill, no fuss, just totally relaxed
3) there is a dinning area in the back that I love I don’t know why maybe I’m a cat but I love reading and munching back there. No one bothers you. It’s not crowded. You don’t feel like you’re bothering anyone and there is no wait staff so you can just read a book in peace and enjoy really good food!
This place is like my secret hide out“

“My friend and I come here every so often and the ladies who work at night are always really kind, almost like aunties. We usually order the cold noodles (mul naeng myeun) and tteokbokki, but we've also tried the seafood pancakes, soft tofu soup with beef, and bulgogi. Everything we've had so far has been delicious.

Our routine is to get our usuals plus one extra dish, which always leaves US with some leftovers to take home. The food is tasty, and whilel can't speak to how authentic it is, it's definitely a great spot to enjoy a relaxed dinner hangout.“

“edamame is bomb and so delicious. and service is the best“

“The soondubu is DELICIOUS. Great flavor, spicy, and most importantly, unlimited rice and ban chan refills upon request. The price is a bit steep for soup ($20+) but the quality is worth it, given Bay Area food prices. Their other dishes are yummy too.“

“Great people and good food.“

“The food was great, ambiance was very nice as well as the service . James K was a phenomenal server and even cooked our food for us when he didn’t have to, he explained the menu clearly especially since it was our first time there and gave a brief description of the meats we were eating. 10/10 highly recommend and will be back again!“

“bbq is the best of the best quality chicken in the world. I ordered bbq chicken here on Thanksgiving Day yesterday and tried it.
Especially the bbq Apple Park store chicken here is crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, and the taste of secret sauce is fantastic.
Be sure to give it a try. Maybe you won't regret it.“

“I've only ordered takeout from this location, but I can tell the restaurant itself has that sort of local Hawaiian type of vibe. Yes, the portions are really big. My wife and I just ordered food for lunch and it'll definitely feed us at dinner too (and possibly a little bit for breakfast). The last L&L we would go to (Fremont) skimped on the portions, but it was the closest to our house at the time so we didn't really have a choice. Now going to this L&L (Homestead Rd., Santa Clara), we're definitely going to go here more often just because of the portion size! Highly recommended!“

“This location has changed several restaurants, but I haven't tried it since it changed to cooking Cooking .

The food was surprisingly good, and although the price was a bit high, it was well worth it. pork neck with bitter melon $22 , salt egg yolk with fish & pumpkin $24.50 , salty fish with pork clay pot $24.50 all good!
Especially the bitter melon, it is probably the best I have ever eaten, the cooking time is just right, the pork neck is very soft, but it is full of fragrance.

The service is very warm and friendly! The tables might be too close together and it's easy to hear other people's conversations.“

“I have been a big fan of Yummy Tofu for years, and looks like it’s now under new management.

Food is slightly different than before, the side dishes used to be more traditional which is personal preference.

As shown in this photo, the food was very fresh and the service was excellent. The staffs were very polite and handled food with care. Greatly appreciated it.“

“It's hard to find excellent Korean food in the South Bay, so when I come across a good restaurant I always have to give praise! Sogongdong Tofu Town piles on the flavor and I never feel like I’m eating bland, Americanized Korean food. If this were LA, I might bump it down a star because the food scene there is so competitive. But many restaurants here can’t even deliver the basic flavors right, so I’m thrilled to discover this place conveniently tucked in an Hmart. The soondubu jjigae (”tofu soup”) here is stellar and as good as any that you’ll find in K-Town LA!“

“This is the best tasting and best value Hawaiian BBQ around! They actually season the food so many NorCal folk may find it too flavorful. This has become one of my go-to spots after a long day at work under toxic Asian management. Being able to binge eat myself into a comatose state for cheap has brought me great comfort in this economy.“

“There are more and more Korean BBQ restaurants, and I think they are all the same. But here is easy to parking and easy to get the table .

The space is large and the meat quality is good.
Many Ayce's barbecue meats are of poor quality. If you want good quality beef and pork belly, this is one of the restaurants with affordable prices , good service .“

“I have not been to Chungdam for more than two years because everything was just way too sweet and salty. Recently, I heard that the ownership changed so I made a reservation for family dinner. Food, service, and atmosphere are all not much better than how it was under the previous ownership. We got a nice quiet room with a sliding door. Really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.“

“Ordered the mixed BBQ plate and a few musubi on the go. The portion for the plate is generous and the size of the musubi is good. However, the taste of the food is generally okay without any pleasant surprises. It is definitely a go to place for getting good food at great prices.“

“It's an amazing and conducive place.. i like all the foods � very delicious and affordable price.. so, to all people out there try it!!“

“Indoor and outdoor dining. Great food, friendly service. Kimchee chige, bbq short ribs, ban chan and purple mixed grain rice was delicious. Plus the tofu is non GMO. 👍🏻“
