15 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Pasadena

“If you know, you know.

This little hidden gem serves great Indonesian and Hawaiian comfort food classics. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but if it’s your first time, you must try the crispy fried chicken and the Indonesian fried rice.

This place is clearly run by people who care about what they do, and it shows in the quality of the product.

There’s not a lot of space inside, so it’s generally a takeout spot, but don’t let that deter you from trying it.“

“Perfect portions, delicious food, suuuper accommodating anda great spot for me, my wife and our date with our baby boy“

“Rodney's ribs are the Truth. I moved to Pasadena recently. I've had Q at Dreamland in Alabama, 12 Bones in North Carolina, Franklin's in Austin, Corky's in Memphis and Hecky's in Chicago, and this is some of the most righteously smoked meat I've ever had. Thank you, Rodney.“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“4 of us ate at the new Craft at LA Live but I can't find it here so recommending them on the Pasadena location. This was the second night they had been open last Saturday. Service was outstanding. Judy did a terrific job taking care of us and the head chef and owner cam by to welcome us. Food was outstanding too. Great place.“

“Walking by thus place to a movie, the air was sweet and smoky. IT SMELLED SO GOOD, even when it was closed. So. I had to try it when we left. I was on my way to dinner, didn't matter, bought 3 meals and a blueberry pie (enough for 2 unless you play football), home next day I tried everything. 5 stars on everything.

I can't fathom that there's better Anerican style barbecue within 20 miles. It's takeout only.

Vegetarian options: Not really, there's sides but the greens have turkey, so enjoy your pie and macncheese.“

“Very family friendly atmosphere and outstanding service. We enjoyed our dinner with extraordinary talented Mariachi!“

“It's the best! Been hooked for 5 years! Lol“

“The food and service are good, it's a small spot that gets busy really fast. So the whole environment feels a little rushed. But, the food is good and they are on point with refills. Only complaint is the size and seating arrangement, but it ain't my place so it's all gravy.“

“The food was flavorful and the portions generous. We'll definitely be back.“

“Loved it here. Came on a Tuesday a lil before noon. It was chill. Not super packed. They were playing great music and the meats were seasoned/marinated well. I've gone to some places where you can't taste the flavor. The meat had flavor after cooking and is a good price. Definitely will come back with more people“

“Server Hayden and Manager Bobby were excellent in there consistent checking in with me and my party to make sure we were during our wait time and constantly apologized for having waited longer than initially anticipated. They both gave 100% maximum effort to accommodate my party. The service by Hayden, Bobby and the rest of the staff were impecable. Bringing out dishes with great timing. Service with a smile and attending to ALL of our needs. I felt like my party were the VIPs. Polite, kind, respectful, knowledgeable and had an answer for every concern we had.
My party and family will continue to come back to Stone Fire Grill with this amazing.
Thank YOU again to Bobby, Hayden and the rest of the SFG staff tonight(9/22/24). You ALL went above and beyond to give exceptional service to my party and family. Keep up the great work.

Best regards,
Mario Munoz“

“August 2023:Spam musubi $1.59 Wednesdays! Loco Moco yum.Seafood combo is another good option for fish and shrimp.

Parking: Parking is shared by many businesses in the shared lot. Parking availability depends on what is going on each day and if a sudden crowd shows up to one of the stores. Lunch time seems to be generally easy to find parking.“

“Always an amazing experience“
