19 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).“

“My favorite hot pot spot! Im happy theres no extra charge for anything, and I can have kbbq and hot pot.

Ingredients are always fresh, and they have a good sauce bar.

I always go for the pork bone broth, but my friends love the miso and spicy broth.

Service is always good and theyre usually pretty quick with things despite it always being busy.“

“Came to MTV 2 years ago.
This place never fails to fascinate me -- I really like the AYCE perspective and after a while, the restaurant owner knows me personally and my preference when cooking as well.
Highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“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 want to take my time writing this review to let the emotions sink in the best way i know how to describe them.

Upon entering, you are greeted with a calm, loving greeting that feels like you are truly appreciated supporting their business. This is extremely important in the USA. After that, you are asked if you have been there before, and if not, they explain the process to you meticulously and at a perfect pace. There is no feel of a rush. The feeling I get is they truly want you to enjoy their food and they want to make sure it is right.
The food is expertly cooked with a smile and warm hello from the cooks. While your food is being prepared, the gentleman makes sure your food utensils and preferences are met before your meal makes it out.

Every time i go here, its magical. I feel relaxed and so happy to support this business. A business that loves their customers is hard to find nowadays. Working in the airport is stressful, and this is my grounding point that makes that work stress just another day with a smile on my face. Thank you Su’s!!!

“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 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.“

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“

“Friendship BBQ is such a fun spot if you’re looking for a casual place with good food and a lively atmosphere. I really enjoyed the flavors — the BBQ/skewer-style dishes were tasty, well-seasoned, and perfect for sharing. The place has a comfortable, social vibe, which makes it great for going with friends or trying something different for dinner.

I also tried the IV beer, and it definitely made the experience more unique and memorable. The overall vibe felt fun and relaxed, and I liked that it wasn’t just about the food but also the experience. Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re in the mood for flavorful BBQ and a chill night out.“

“Great food, drinks and people!“

“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!!“
