23 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Murrieta

“It was my first time and not was delightful. The service was extra special. I heard of the business when his son lost his life in the line of duty. God rest his soul. Everything I was told was true. Mr. Calhoun took our order and we chatted with him while the food was being prepared. Such a lovely business. I wish there were more locations or you could get it online. ??⭐️??

Kid-friendliness: There were several kids in restaurant and they seemed very comfortable. There is also a table set up for kids to play on while waiting?“

“Went there tonight with my husband and their bbq is amazing! You can really taste the seasoning, I can’t tell which one is my favorite because it’s all so good! Will definitely come back again. 😊“

“Outstanding food service and professionalism. The food was AWESOME. Passed through Murietta and surprised one of my favorite families after so many years. Peace and much love and success.“

“I was looking for a Thai restaurant and stumbled across this gem. When I say the food is always fresh and good, I really mean it. I order from here at least once a week. Family owned, super clean, great atmosphere and phenomenal customer service. Prices are reasonable for all the dishes and sides.“

“I had placed an order on DoorDash, the driver had forgot my sides. I called down and spoke to Julian: I was a little short on the phone, but he was pleasant the entire time. Got to the store, apologized and had a conversation with them. They were wonderful people, and I cannot wait to go back. Jalapeño kielbasa is AMAZING“

“I ordered the chicken Teriyaki and shrimp. I was surprised to see the rice all under the chicken smothered in sauce. That kind of ruined it for me because i dont like a ton of sauce on the rice. The portion size for the price is much smaller than other Hawaiian BBQ places. The chicken and shrimp was pretty good. No veggies as I thought the chicken would have been over a bed of cabbage or veggies. Rice soggy with sauce and the Mac was good.“

“This is our 2nd time using Pete's Firehouse BBQ for an event (wife's 60th birthday). Food was outstanding, customer service from start to finish was on point, and setup, delivery and execution was amazing. Will definitely use them again for our next event.“

“This restaurant is more of a take out kind of place. The atmosphere inside is too hot and uncomfortable but smells amazing. The service was somewhat average and didn’t go over the top to be accommodating as they were too busy to care. Could potentially use one more staff member to make patrons feel more valued. The food is very good and I would recommend the garlic shrimp if you’re going on a hot date afterwards. The scallops are nice and have a good crisp to the crust as they are fried. The fire chicken is not as hot as the name suggests but has good flavor nonetheless. We will definitely consider returning for a take out order as the portions are worth the price.“

“One word… BRISKET. Their brisket is phenomenal. It’s one of the most tender, juicy, flavorful smoked brisket we’ve ever had. The sauces are also great - we recommend the spicy but they also have regular and sweet.

Other things we’ve tried:

Ribs - Overall pretty good. Not the best we’ve tried but you’ll like them!

Chicken - Needs help. Lacks flavor. Only unimpressive thing we have tried at Swing Inn.

Mac and Cheese: Delicious!!
Coleslaw: DELICIOUS! ?

Service: We feel it needs some work. More attention to detail and wait times on tables. We understand it’s a busy place, but it could be managed a bit better.

Overall, Highly recommend the food and visit! But weekends are crazy (2 hour wait!) so aim for during the week or later in day - if possible.“

“always good food and people“

“The food is superb! The owner always greets you when you walk in! The staff is friendly! The music is great! Can't forget my favorite bartender, Marty!“

“We moved to Murrieta 6 years ago. We struggled to find great quality Korean BBQ near here, till now. The quality of the meat was great! They have the best tasting kimchi I've had since leaving the Orange County LA area. We no longer have to drive all the way to Los Angeles for great Korean BBQ. The service was amazing. They are very friendly and attentive. We went on Valentines day and they have every lady who walked in a rose. It was a very special added touch to all ready great service.“

“Good drink, delicious food! Seriously, no complaints in the food department. Absolutely the best BBQ-Mexican fusion I've ever had. Only complaint I have is that the bigger alcoholic beverages are overpriced vs the value of the smaller options.“

“I live with a restricted diet due to a condition and this restaurant has a gluten free menu. I can actually eat some of the food and it's really good. I always buy more so I have left overs. The service is professional and friendly. Definitely a go to restaurant 😋.“

“Holy smok’d hog you have done it!!! We came in last night for the first time and it WILL NOT be the last!! Full rack of ribs, 2 pulled pork sandwiches, cornbread, potato salad, and mac & cheese was freakin’ amazing!!! The best I have ever eaten!!! I love your great service, sample to taste sauces, and super kind staff. You guys rock the BBQ like no one else ❤️“

“Great service great food but best part was walk in at 5:25 pm and actually no wait definitely the best restaurant in Menifee“

“Great music venue. Very affordable. Wonderful acoustic. I love that they picked a niche, as a small, intimate music venue and they stuck with it. No sports games on screens everywhere. No video games. I can even appreciate that they don’t do food because that’s not what this place is about. Thanks, OTBC for a wonderful time!!“

“I went in a couple days ago for the 24.99 lunch special with a friend. The meat was a great quality, immense amount of options, delicious banchan! The look of the kbbq interior was excellent. I loved the whole vibe of this place! We also had a lady server who made our experience a 10/10!! Best kbbq in the area. ?“

“Went in the other night literally 3 minutes before close (I didn’t realized they closed to early) and everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating when they didn’t have to be. Jerry and Diego were two people who really stood out to me with their willingness to help and great customer service, but the cooks in the back were all smiles and kind as well. Really appreciate it“

“Amazing Food!!! Awesome service from the Big Boss Garry! My first time trying Korean BBQ. I’m hooked! We’ll drive at least once a month from Covina to enjoy amazing food and service!! 💙“

“My wife and I enjoyed the great steak and lobster meals. Megen provided great service and recommended some great choices to go with the meal. The onions, mushrooms and garlic butter on the steak was phenomenal. Very clean restaurant, was seated immediately and food came out just how we wanted. Highly recommend this place. Will return.“

“Some stuff I like here, some I don't. I know they are all kids who work here. But.... yesterday I ordered the chicken cutlet meal ask for extra macaroni and they said $26 I was like damn. But then I realized why. It's because she charged me for a separate macaroni. Oh well I do love the macaroni.“

“I came across this gem one afternoon as I was heading back home. I was greeted by the cashier named Yvonne and she recommended me the Hawaiian BBQ mix. It came with rice, macaroni salad, BBQ chicken, BBQ beef, and short ribs! The portion is massive (I usually eat a lot and I almost couldn't finish it).

Once I am done with the food, the chef named Mr. Ho asked if I find the taste good. I just showed him the empty plate that I devoured.

There are a variety of drinks ( I definitely recommend the Hawaiian Sun selections that sits on the counter. Any flavor is fine because it can't go wrong with the brand.

I will definitely be back for more food.

Parking: A lot of spot since it shares a building with Lowe's and other major food franchise like Starbucks.

Kid-friendliness: There are gumballs, sticker, and other kid toy machine to entertain them.“
