10 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Salinas

“The best brisket and pork ribs I ever had!!!“

“the food is always delicious.. I love when I have to pick up here and get to eat here“

“Amazing food. bathrooms are horrible and not a lot of parking but if you do get a spot YOU MUST try the food.“

“Wonder food and service was excellent.“

“Everything at Smalley’s has a feel of home cooking. The portion sizes are just right. We ordered the prime rib and it was a good size. I would have enjoyed a bit more flavor in the prime rib but the texture and tenderness was on point. I really enjoyed how friendly the staff were. I’m from out of town but come to Salina’s often. I’ll come back to try other main courses for sure! My 10yo daughter enjoyed the 8 oz ribeye.“

“I love this place. $15 dollars gets you a really long way. I get a plate of bbq beef. Massive portion of beef, rice, pasta salad, and cabbage.It can quickly add up, but the portions are quite good. Unsure if you can tell from the order receipt, but this whole order, short of a spring roll I had already devoured, came to $51.The service is good, especially as the cashier noticed by partner picking spam for our musubis.. and upon noticing my expression, he was quick to assure me that you can pick and mix between their three meat choices.The location isn't typically filled with a lot of people and, at least for my own experiences, is fairly quiet and peaceful as you wait for your order to be called.Unfortunately, the food can sometimes take longer than you'd like as you find yourself making contact with others who are awkwardly looking around to keep themselves busy... but that's all that's wrong from my prospective. Nothing to stop me from returning.“

“Fast for pickup.
Good ambience.
Decent menu.

Fish menu items are worth trying.

If you are new, takeout portions are great, once they got to know me the portions went down :(

Vegetarian options: No idea if veg & non-veg are cooked in the same wok.

Dietary restrictions: I go for less salt and they did make sure of that.

Parking: Just avoid rush hour times.“

“If you have the pleasure of meeting Kevin and his family you’re in for a treat. Best Tri Tip in town. Good music Amazing wine. Highly recommend“

“**Aloha Hawaiian BBQ Review**

We stumbled upon Aloha Hawaiian BBQ by accident. We usually place orders for pickup from another Hawaiian BBQ restaurant in Salinas but, in a rush, we placed our order at Aloha instead. I didn't realize the mix-up until it was time to pick up our food and noticed the reviews while entering the address on Google Maps. My heart sank, as the reviews were significantly lower than other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants we frequent.

Long story short, we had our food and were thrilled! I don't understand why this restaurant has negative reviews for their food quality. Unlike many other Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, Aloha's food isn't overly sweet. The mac salad nicely seasoned, the chicken katsu sauce was savory with good consistency, and the chicken katsu and musubi were perfectly prepared, portions

The portions were good, providing great value for the price. I've been to a lot of Hawaiian BBQ restaurants, both on the mainland and in Hawaii, and this place is excellent. The savory flavors really stood out and made for an exceptional meal. We will definitely be returning to Aloha Hawaiian BBQ. Highly recommended!“
