50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Panorama City

“First restaurant I ate in 1982 and the bbq is still great.“

“Tony's Filipino BBQ is a must-try! We were blown away by the delicious food and friendly service. The panga ng tuna was perfectly grilled and flavorful, while the pork belly BBQ was juicy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The chicken inasal was also a winner, with its classic smoky flavor and tender meat.

We loved the fluffy bibingkinita for dessert. Everything is made to order, so you can taste the freshness in each dish. The service was also fantastic – friendly and attentive. If you're looking for authentic Filipino bbq, Tony's is the place to be!“

“Awesomely great foods, friendly staff, clean place“

“I liked the no frills menu, Mongolian BBQ or Vegetarian dish. The chicken and beef combination was cooked well. Unlike other places you cannot fill the bowl yourself, but I still ended up with a lot of food. The staff made recommendations for what sauces to use and listed all of the sauces. It is located in a mall so general mall dining. They also have Boba!

Vegetarian options: There were 12 vegetables to choose from. They had jalapeños which always makes me happen. It’s important to note that the meat and vegetarian dishes are cooked on the same surface.“

“Yummiest street food ever👌“

“Consistent and delicious food. Love the beef satay meal, fried rice, paad see yu, and other food items.

Vegetarian options: Shared parking spots available can get busy during lunch time

Parking: Call in your orders for faster service.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Great food good friendly staff“

“It's down and dirty, proletariat BBQ at its finest. THAT's the secret weapon. Simplicity of design and meats that are properly seasoned, then smoked to perfection, with sauce that's on-point. I grew up eating BBQ. This place rocks.“

“Delicious Memphis style BBQ!“

“We had the most incredible dining experience at Cheong Wun BBQ Buffet Restaurant! From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with warm smiles and unparalleled hospitality. The cozy, vintage vibe of the place immediately made us feel at home.

The food selection was absolutely top-notch—every bite was a journey through authentic Korean flavors. The marinated beef, spicy chicken wings, and tender ribs were simply divine, and the banchan (side dishes) added an exquisite balance to the meal. The highlight? The attentive staff not only served us but also helped grill the meats to perfection, offering tips on how to enjoy the full burst of flavors with lettuce wraps, bean paste, and other condiments. The seaweed soup at the end was the perfect comforting finish!

Service here is beyond exceptional. The staff, especially the kind ajumma, treated us like family, making sure our table was never empty and that we had everything we needed. It’s clear they take pride in every aspect of the experience they provide.

Although the parking is a bit limited, it’s a minor trade-off for what you get. Cheong Wun BBQ is a hidden gem and a must-visit spot for anyone craving authentic Korean BBQ with outstanding service and unbeatable value. We will absolutely be back, and we can’t recommend this place highly enough!“

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“In San Fernando on business. Decided to have dinner while waiting for traffic to die down a bit. Doing a search Carbon Grill sounded good. When we got there we were the only customers. Nice little place but other reviews suggested something else and parking for some reason was non existent. Had to park two blocks away! Good menu and prices were fair for these times. Food took a bit long even though it was only us. That is a good thing since it means freshly cooked. Ordered a burger, salads and fried Yucca. Good meal overall. Clean place with outdoor patio along with inside tables. Only complaint was too much plastic used for this level of dining.“

“I live in Lancaster && I don’t mind the driving to come and eat here when I am craving it; IS WELL WORTH IT!!! To be a fast food spot the food is super delicious, very fresh and well cook on the spot. The staff is always in a good mood and always suggesting us to try different sauces. Now that they added pineapple to their selection I am loving it even more. Keep the great Customer Service up, that’s a big Plus.

Kid-friendliness: Is an open mall food court.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“This place is awesome!!! Their plate size for shrimp fried rice is huuuge and served fresh. ?? You’ll probably have more shrimp in a this plate than the shrimp pasta you had in Italian restaurants youve been to ? They gave me free donut and drink too! The staff is really nice and accommodating as well ?

Vegetarian options: They have variety of fruit selection and freshly made smoothies and shakes

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for wheelchairs“

We had ate lunch across the way at the Basecamp, and they had high chairs. Very kid friendly.“

“Flew down from Canada and my friend recommended my wife and I come here. Such a good recommendation! 10:10 recommend the pork combo player as well as tofu pad thai and any of the starters.

Parking: Probably 12 spots

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps, just a curb“

“That’s what I’m talking about!This is some real serious BBQ. I had the two meat combo, which was pulled pork, brisket with mac & cheese, and baked beans. Let me tell you, I’m real picky when it comes to mac & cheese, and this was killer! The baked beans were awesome too. Full of flavor.It’s really hard to find a good barbecue nowadays, and I’m so happy that they are down the street from where I live.Favorite was the brisket ?“

“Great food! Tried the tri tip sandwich, potato salad, chorizo breakfast burrito and a cookie. all delicious. Definitely recommend! Very friendly staff too. The owner (i didn't catch her name) is sooo great and sweet.“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“אלופים ברמה אחרת! גם השירות פצצה וגם האוכל טעים נורא! מומלץ!!“

“For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process.The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants.I didn’t order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection.The sides were disappointing and I will not order again:Mac and Cheese:A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again.Collard Greens:Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn’t waste them. Let’s be clear, the greens weren’t horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens.Red Beans & Rice:Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans.Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment.I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup.On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again.“

“favorite food truck ever! awesome food, more than just tacos and burritos, tri tip is available on everything, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, ribs, wraps, cheeseburgers, etc“

“Had an awesome birthday lunch at Oku-Niku today!

My husband took me out for some Japanese bbq & had a great time. They have an AYCE option for $55 and a premium AYCE with higher cuts of meat for $75. We decided to not do ayce bc we didn’t want to over eat due to our dinner plans later in the evening. So we ordered their 2 meat lunch option—picked the prime short rib and beef belly. It came with rice, smashed cucumber salad and miso soup for $25. Great option for those who want to have a light meal. We also added on pork jowl ($12) and their A5 Waygu ($45). We cooked them at the table just like kbbq. All the meats were melt-in-your-mouth good. I loved the sauces they provided and the lemon pepper seasoning as well. The service here was fantastic. I wish we got the name of our waitress who was so kind and very attentive! She gave me a slice of their tasty yuzu cheesecake on the house, which was so sweet and thoughtful. I recommend this place if you are looking for a tasty meal and amazing service.“

“love everything food is the best“

“Great food!! The staff is friendly!“

“We ate inside at the counter and tried a little bit of a few things off the menu. The sweet & spicy fried chicken and fried chicken dumplings were delicious. 😋🍴 We also tried the bulgogi and spicy chicken bowl and both were so delicious. As a side note, the man that waited on us (not sure if it was the owner or not) was very nice and hospitable. ☺️“

“My husband and I have been here literally 5 times this week and the food never misses. The Breakfast is amazing, the dinner is out of this world. And the customer service is the best. The GM should be proud. It was such a pleasure dine here. Highly recommend the cream corn and if you go for breakfast do yourself the favor and get the biscuits.“

“A wonderful place! We ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was top-notch. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The menu variety was impressive, with something for everyone. The prices are justified by the quality, and we were very satisfied. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“The wings here are bomb as always but there was no AC there when I dined in yesterday and it was over 100 degrees. I could not believe it. Felt bad for your staff as well having to stand in the restaurant in that heat.

On a separate note, the kimchi fried rice was a bit bland.“

“Old fashion bbq. My family has been coming here nearly all my life, over 50 years. It's crazy to say, but I'm all that time, i always get the same sandwich, the Bear Pit Special on garlic toast. It is delicious!🤤
Any of their sandwiches are even more delicious with their garlic toast. Dang, I'm feeling the need to go again!“

“There is young lady and older lady today.. I always forget her name but she’s always excellent in service. We come from Pasadena for the barbecue chicken, which is perfection

Parking: 20+spots

Kid-friendliness: Lady always chitchats with kids making contact with kids always a plus“

“This place is fantastic. You walk in and are immediately greeted and informed how things work. The man inside is very nice and loves talking to everyone that comes in. The food is so good. I got beef and noodles and veggies. Then topped it off with the flavor sauces and garlic. They have a lot of options so you can make it your own. They cook it all right in front of you. I even grabbed a mochi ice cream. Over all I highly recommend this place, a diamond in the rough.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is accessible“

“Tried a sample of "Breathe" from the Crooked Path and it was lovely! I was kind of mad I didn't have more of it.“

“I recently hosted my birthday party here, and my friends and I had an incredible time. The food was excellent, the service outstanding, and the venue itself was stunning. The owner, Michael, was extremely accommodating in handling our large group of 35. He patiently answered all my questions in the weeks leading up to the event and went out of his way to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to host an event!“

“I would definitely recommend for parties.“

“Pork belly!!! Awesome!!! I highly recommend this place. Every time I visit this place there is always something new and delicious! Can't wait till I go again.“

“Definite go-to place for all-you-can-eat (ayce) K-BBQ in the valley. All around good food, service, and atmosphere, with authentic meat styles and side dishes. They even have some options for picky little kids [like mine]. Lee was very sweet and didn’t waste any time with any of our requests. Unlike other ayce places nearby who seem to slow down as your time limit nears. Also, legitimate Premium vs Standard menu where Standard has galbi and Premium has lobster as an example. Oh you have to try the basil/oil dipping sauce, super good with non-marinated meats! Coming back as soon as we can.“

“I had great experience here. The food was good and it was very cheap for the amount of food that I ate. I was so full that when I got out of the restaurant, I couldn’t stand and I had to sit down for like a minute because I’m not used to eating so much food at once. When you do that all you can eat option you’re just trying to stuff your belly with as much food as possible in the 90 minutes“

“lo mejor asado criollo de la argentina esta en manos de martin fierro asados“

“Food was very delicious and fresh and the prices are very affordable. Stuff were very friendly and helpful, great service 🙏“
