25 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“

“Decent portions and fast service! My favorites are the BBQ chicken and spam musubi. The dining area is quite large, which makes for a comfortable wait. I usually order via their website because there is no upcharge or fee—it's the same price as ordering at the counter. Fast, reliable, and friendly! (Note: They don’t accept the loyalty program points here).“

“5 stars! This place always hits the spot and never misses the mark! Ever since Ive discovered this place I have been here once a week. So delicious. They get you in and out so fast. Food delivery to table is like boom boom boom. And to finish everything off an ice cream. Dinner night couldnt get better than this place“

“After wandering up & down Castro St, decided to stop in here after spying some tasty noodles on someone's plate.

The way that it works is that you fill up a bowl or two with all of the ingredients that you want, then they cook it up on the BBQ griddle right in front of you. All you can eat, so you can keep loading up if you want (but max 2 bowls at a time).

The pro move seemed to be to do one bowl with veggies, one bowl with meats, then they can be cooked together. I'd also recommend doing the line for ingredients in reverse order - start with a noodle base & add on top, instead of adding in noodles at the end.

Definitely recommend the pork, chicken, water chestnuts, mushrooms. I'd skip the tofu (even though I normally love tofu).

There's also a self serve vanilla soft serve machine with cake cones. The soft serve itself wasn't stand out on its own, but it was a perfect little balance at the end of the meal.

Plenty of outdoor seating (& great Castro St people watching). Staff was very friendly.

I'd definitely recommend it's worth a stop.“

“We booked this for an important family dinner that I really needed to get right, and the venue absolutely came through for me. From the moment we walked in, the staff made the whole evening feel a bit special without ever overdoing it. They'd given us a beautifully set table tucked away enough to feel a bit private, our server was warm and engaged throughout, and the food was honestly some of the best we've had in months. Every course came out perfectly cooked, generously portioned, and beautifully presented. We worked through a starter each, mains, and a shared dessert at the end, with the staff quietly bringing out a little candle for the birthday in the middle of our group without us having to ask. That gesture absolutely made the evening for the person it was for. The pacing of the meal was textbook — never rushed, never forgotten — and we had plenty of time between courses to actually talk to each other. The bill at the end was very fair for the quality of the whole experience. The family has already agreed it's our new go-to for any kind of special occasion. Lovely place.“

“Su’s is such a welcoming place with amazing food that you can customize to your liking! It’s clean and well kept. The food is cooked right in front of you so you know everything that is going into your meal. When it’s busy, it does get loud but I take it as a sign of a well loved place with lots of happy people!“

“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!“

“Fast service, easy QR code ordering, and good menu selection. Fun atmosphere that matches the karaoke next door. The food itself is okay - not bad but also nothing special. The lamb skewers were seasoned nicely but didn’t exactly nail the grill/texture resulting in some unexpected chewiness. eggplant’s was super garlicky - definitely get rice to balance it out. noodle soup was okay but not worth a repeat visit.“

“I made my first order from Empire Armadillo BBQ through DoorDash today. As a huge fan and loyal customer of Armadillo Willy’s, I was so sad when they closed most of their restaurants. However, the ribs I received today from Empire were the best I’ve EVER had. They were incredibly delicious and I’m already planning to visit this place frequently.“

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

“This is one of the better restaurants in the area! It was perfect and it didn’t give me heart burn afterwards. The food didn’t give me heartburn afterwards and would totally recommend. The catering is on top, but so is the restaurant. The atmosphere is perfect and the service is impeccable, staff is very friendly and our host had lots of hospitality. Would definitely come back for a regular meal!“

“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!“

“We’ve been here a few times and each time, our food is delicious. On this June 6, 2026 day, I had the 1 meat bowl which included the smoked chicken and the baked beans.I devoured every bit. Both were so delicious. My husband inhaled his brisket sandwich and my son surprisingly finished his chicken tacos. We even got a greeting from the owner. 😊 We ate outside this time, but the ambiance is good whether we sit in or out. I highly recommend that you try this place if you haven’t already.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Went for live music. It was surprisingly fun the band was rockin to the beat. Also an all age crowd. Drink's were flowen and dancers were dancing. Food and service were great expecially if you like BBQ. All in all a cozy little place with tables and and barstools to watch the game and listen to live music. a great little reasonably priced get away spot. Kevin“

“Great food, drinks and people!“

“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.“

“Came here with a friend and was pleasantly surprised. The grilled fish was definitely the highlight—crispy on the outside, tender inside, and packed with flavor. We also ordered a bunch of skewers, including beef, chicken skin, and sausages, and everything came out hot, well-seasoned, and perfect with a little extra spice. The portions were generous, and the food had that authentic late-night Chinese BBQ vibe. Service was quick, and the atmosphere was casual and lively. If you’re craving grilled skewers and spicy grilled fish, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Tobang delivers a classic Korean BBQ experience with generous banchan, quality meats, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The staff keeps the table stocked, refreshes side dishes without being asked, and checks in at the right moments, which makes the meal feel smooth and well‑paced. Service is attentive but never intrusive, and the team moves with a steady rhythm that keeps the grill active and the table organized. It’s the kind of place where the grill becomes the center of the table and everyone naturally gets involved.

The food itself is flavorful and satisfying, from the sizzling cuts of pork galbi, cha dol baegi, and short ribs to comforting dishes like seafood tofu soup and kimchi fried rice. The seafood pancake is crisp and generous, and the Yakult at the end adds a fun, nostalgic touch. The variety of banchan keeps the meal balanced, and the mix of marinated and non‑marinated meats gives everyone something to enjoy. It’s a great spot for groups, casual dinners, or anyone craving a hands‑on dining experience with plenty of shareable dishes.

Overall, Tobang offers a dependable and enjoyable Korean BBQ outing. The atmosphere is warm, the portions are generous, and the service keeps everything running smoothly without rushing you. Whether you’re coming with a small group or a larger party, the experience feels communal in the best way, and the food delivers consistent flavor and comfort.“

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