Came here for lunch with some friends. Everyone loved the bbq and the sides. Brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs were all amazing. Very friendly staff as well. We will be back here soon.

Great BBQ! My dad is from Tennessee, and said this is his favorite BBQ he’s ever had. High praise! We love the beef ribs the most but all the meat we have tried is great (pork ribs, brisket, smoked turkey).

We recently tried the chili verde and it was amazing! You can’t go wrong here.

for $23 I received 2 small pieces of brisket and a soggy side of Mac & cheese. The brisket had a lot of fat that I cut off, and the Mac & cheese (penne) noodles were very overcooked and in a pool of curdled cheese soup is prob the best way to describe it. The lemonade was good though and the staff was nice. Won't be back though.

We ordered a large beef brisket set with two sides and the beef rib. Just slight nitpicks but the flavor was as expected, really good. 90% of the meat was juicy and tender, but there were a part of the beef rib and brisket that was overtly tough and dry. The service was nice, the owner or the head cook came and greeted everyone and asked how everyone’s meal was. We came at a great time early when they opened on Sunday and we watched as it slowly got packed.

We tried the brisket plate with sweet potato everything was delicious.
The brisket was tender and smoky, and the sweet potato side was the highlight, sweet and crunchy on top, and perfectly seasoned.
It’s a great spot if you’re craving BBQ with friendly service.
Would definitely come back for their brisket again.

Great grub! I had plenty to eat having the onion rings and some of my wife’s wonderful pulled pork taco, but brisket plate only had two pieces. I wanted more it was so good!
My son loved his brisket sandwich! Great tacos

Ordered the brisket and coleslaw but was disappointed in the size of the portion. It was small. Having said that, the brisket was tender and delicious, I just wish they’d served more of it for the price.

As someone who has had Texas bbq, I got intrigued by the reviews / reading up on the pit master.
Everything I had was delicious, but that brisket was SO GOOD. So tender and pull apart and so tasty.
The service was so nice too. I asked if they had a spicer bbq sauce and they whipped 2 different ones up for me in like 2 min. 100% will come back

Thank you God for allowing me to find the best BBQ place in OC, LA and most likely all of the west coast. Met the pitman/owner who has won many many many awards for his bbq. I loved it.. as a bbq enthusiast.. this place is amazing and I will definitely go here again and again. He sells every other Sunday beef ribs which is amazing
