50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Porter Ranch

“Amazing food! Family owned for more than two decades. Never a drop off in quality. They’ve been a consistent fixture in SF Valley, which speaks volumes since it’s hardly recognizable even in the past 5 years since the pandemic! My favorite dish is the seafood combo with short ribs!“

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

“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.“

“My son & gf say the burgers are good. You know the bbq is good. I went for chicken in a lemon garlic sauce & found it quite delicious. Nutty coleslaw a good change from sweet creamy standard coleslaws. Sautéed veggies were a tasty healthy filler.“

“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“

“Good food, good beer, a lot of TV’s“

“I recently visited a Korean BBQ restaurant called Wuso, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. There’s TVs everywhere! I got to see the dodgers play while eating kbbq!
The staff was attentive and guided us through the menu with helpful recommendations.

The highlight, of course, was the BBQ itself. We selected a variety of meats, including marinated beef bulgogi and spicy pork which were cooked to perfection right at our table. The assortment of side dishes, or banchan, was generous and complemented the rich flavors of the grilled meats beautifully. Each bite was a delightful explosion of taste and texture.
Overall, both the Korean BBQ and the TVs were outstanding experiences that I highly recommend exploring.“

“Great food and staff! You guys rock !!!“

“Everything was cooked to perfection! The flavors were rich, the service was excellent, and the ambiance was inviting.“

“Second time coming to ZEF'S and will be planning on coming back for more brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, pulled pork, and ribs soon. We got the platter and it easily had enough food to serve 4 for lunch with the sides and everything. Logan and the guys were friendly and made picking up the order an easy and worthwhile trip.“

“Very good food friendly restaurant“

“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.“

“The first feeling is that it is not a popular, dark place and no one works there! The interior is really very old and there is no decor or atmosphere at all! Everything is saved by the food and the staff)
The dishes are really big and very tasty! Next time I will choose delivery, there is no desire to eat at this particular place again!“

“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 ?“

“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“

“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.“

“Pulled chicken and baby back ribs potato salad are the best , friendly staff too“

“Outstanding food, baby back ribs fall off at the touch, no frills menu, it’s a bbq joint, if you’re looking for Foo-Foo items ? Wrong place, simple menu, something for everyone, friendly staff, family owned. Outdoor dining, live music on occasion, takeout and pickup available…. Hole in the wall, rustic and comfortable, it’s really a unique inviting establishment“

“convenient, and easy on your wallet. the food is quality, and service there is good“

“Great food!! The staff is friendly!“

“Food was great, service was great. Showed up with my family of 5 and everyone left with a smile. This was our first time here and we will definitely come back!

Thank you Mississippi Georgia Fried ?

Ty Cook + Family“

“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“

“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!“

“Omg the food was fresh and hot good and the service was wonderful“

“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“

“Extremely clean. On yelp there is a person named Jose v who stated he saw roaches when he went to pick up his order. This person has never even been there because they keep it so clean. We go there a couple of times a week. If you look at that persons yelp reviews, he’s gone and given negative reviews all over the place. Looks like and acts like a troll.“

“I thought I would see if there was anything I could have here so I took a look and they had Beyond tacos! They were delicious!!! Even the spicy mayonnaise was vegan! Thank you so much for having a vegan option! I'll be back for those tacos again!

Vegetarian options: The Beyond tacos are vegan - even the spicy mayo is vegan!“

“5 STARS SUPER DELICIOUS EVERY TIME“

“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.“

“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.“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

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

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

“I’ve been coming to Siam Cuisine for years. Pookie and her husband are such nice people and their food is very exceptional, the pad Thai is my favorite. But the reason is because of the simplicity and the flavor. The yellow curry is also my favorite, especially when adding shrimp. Hearing their story about them opening the restaurant is also a humble story for the ages. Their dedication and hard work is what makes their food so flavorful and unique. The best Thai food and for a reasonable price too!!! All around!!!“

“Good authentic Chinese food.
We had green beans with minced pork, kung pao chicken, fish filet in black bean sauce, and shrimp with lobster sauce. They are all very good and tasty. A little on the salty side, but still delicious with a "strong character" ;-)
Atmosphere is very casual. The typical Chinese restaurant!
Service is good“

“Decent all you can eat Korean BBQ in the valley. I ate the premium menu for about 35ish dollars per person and enjoyed the ribeye, brisket, and beef tongue. If you're picky about meat quality there's none all you can eat places in the valley, but this one is decent for all you can eat. I also like the clean and bright atmosphere“

“Just went tonight. The smash burgers are to die for. The staff is the best! Will definitely be back! 💖“

“This place is pretty good for quick food similar to L&L BBQ. The food came out quick, was fresh and the people working were nice and friendly. There is limited seating and parking. We ordered the Bento. 1 Teriyaki chicken and 1 katsu chicken. Both came with macaroni, 2 fried dumplings rice and some salad. Overall, this place is yummy for the price! Will come back again!“

“they have malasadas feeling of being in Hawaii with Hawaiian tunes playing“

“GREAT chicken. Very crispy and not too heavy like some others out there. Me and my wife ordered 2 small 8 piece bone-in wings (Original Golden flavor), fries and coleslaw. The fries were some of the best I’ve had. Coleslaw was fresh & not too sweet.

My only two gripes with the food are: 1.the price) A little on the expensive end, as back home (Palmdale) we could get an eight piece combo with fries and a drink for the same price as just an 8 piece wings here alone (Korean place too). All good though, inflation hits everyone. Means we just will come here once in a while. And 2) you can only choose one marinade per wing set. Every wing spot I’ve been to allows you to do 1/2 one flavor and 1/2 another. Pretty standard practice, so I thought that was a little disappointing.

One more thing I should mention about the service: I wish the lady (she was Asian) would have suggested me and my wife share a medium (16 piece). It is cheaper to go that route if you both want the same flavor ($30.99) versus two smalls ($33.98). Would have saved us some money and been a nice gesture, but it’s hard to expect that when someone is running a business. Didn’t realize until after the fact.

Anyways, I’d recommend giving them a shot. Just note the things mentioned above before going, if they matter to you.“

“Had Nia and Jags Barbecue at the Studio city farmers market! Their bbq is just as good as the bbq joints in TEXAS! I am so glad they are around! If you want real Tx bbq definitely eat here“

“simple I love ❤️ the food“

“the Best plate lunch in town“

“never had a bad meal here, I always recommend to all my friends and family“

“Most definitely great food and beautiful set up on the turo-turo (point-point) window as long as you’re not expecting a cheerful service from the servers. No complaints about the food and atmosphere but maybe they can do better on giving the joyful and enthusiastic welcome and interactions to customers and supporters. Get a little giddy and lively gurlfwends and give us that we’re glad you’re here type of feeling ?

Parking: Ample parking shared by the nearby stores“
