Barbeque Restaurants near San Fernando

“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.“

“Their salmon is very different from other texture but that's what makes me want to come more and more and more. I like bringing new people to asian tasty. I just can't get enough. Hopefully they can expand renovate the place to fit their Asian culture. Other than that their foods great from Hawaiin bbq to their sushi rolls..yummy.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“This Mediterranean spot is absolutely amazing! The food is incredibly delicious — every dish is full of authentic flavor and perfectly seasoned. The service is outstanding — the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and portions you get. The whole place has such a friendly and relaxing atmosphere — perfect for families, friends, or even a casual date. Highly recommend this gem to anyone who loves great food and warm hospitality!“

“In the heart of Burbank, I found a charming café with beautiful French music playing in the background. I was pleasantly surprised — such a warm and cozy place. I enjoyed a delicious aromatic latte and avocado toast while taking in the lovely atmosphere, music, and view.

Pure delight! Thank you to the owners for such a warm welcome.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

“My new favorite place to go. Yummm. Service was amazing, even though they were slammed and running from table to table. Yet they always had a smile and were attentive, when passing so quickly, to stop to get what we needed. Food was fabulous. Tasty and fresh. Definitely worth the wait. Cannot wait to return.“

“We’re been going to Gus’s BBQ a long time, but recently, their brisket has become STUPENDOUS. It was always good, but oh my... I’ve had brisket all over and this is as good as brisket gets. On a pandemic note... usually when ordering take-out, something goes wrong. A missing side, etc. Not here. Each order has been perfectly accurate. Thank you, Gus’s. Our favorite.“

“Great owners, long time staff who are really good people. They all care about their food and their service“

“Kid-friendliness: My son LOVEd The ribs. It was actually his first time trying some off the bone and he was so into it! And pickles!! He tried pickles first time here and now he’s def a Fan!

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

“Wow! I had wanted to try this place for awhile finally we did we ordered the BBQ chicken & BBQ Beef + Goyzas the food was amazing great flavor great portions and piping hot! Very delicious can’t wait to come back! Def will recommend :)“

“The best FALAFEL IN USA .“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“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“

“Update, even better this week being setup at the San Fernando Brewery. Hard to beat great beer and Bbq. Added Mac and Cheese this week, did not disappoint. Brisket was great. Perfect Crust and Smoke. Cole Slaw was cut well, light and tasty. Beans had good smoke and we're tasty, although seemed like from a can. The Pickles are really good, you can just about eat them by themselves as I did on the drive home. This is just about as close to TX BBQ that I've had around these parts and a lot better than the closest Chain. Only thing missing are some Onions, different BBQ sauces (ex. Vinegary, Spicy) and a Gallon of sweet tea. Highly recommend this place. I will be back.“

“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 ?“

“love everything food is the best“

“Friendly staff and servers. Good selection. Good meat . They seated us right away . Good parking. First time and if I am in the area again, will definitely eat here again.“

“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.“

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

“We've been coming to the Bear Pit since I was a kid (so decades now). We always get the bbq brisket sandwich on garlic toast which is tasty with the delicious bbq sauce. Over the years, the magic has somewhat disappeared, but it's still a reliable bbq spot!“

“The prime rib I ordered for Christmas dinner was the best I’ve had from anywhere I’ve ordered in the past. I ordered a 5-rib roast lightly seasoned and bones cut away/ tied. Thank you for making our dinner the best for our holiday. Will not go anywhere else again. Wish I could post a picture to show how beautiful it came out. Tender, flavorful, perfectly marbled. I made whipped horseradish to top it off! Thank you ! The Quinns“

“Had to leave a review I never leave reviews but this place has incredible shawarma!!. My parents did a to go order and I loved the crispy beef it’s delicious, the meat is halal aswell. I can’t express how much I loved it. I’ll personally come visit soon!. Thumbs up 👍“

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“They have great quality products and they are very friendly“

“Great food!! The staff is friendly!“

“They have amazing rice bowl lunch specials - super affordable at just $6-$8! Options range from chicken katsu and spicy pork to bulgogi bowls. Sure, the portions're on the smaller side, but the flavors're incredible - easily comparable to those at good KBBQ spots. Everything's cooked to order & you can even see them grilling the meat in the back. Definitely a must-try for lunch!“

“Service is beyond 5 star!

The food is consistently fresh, flavorful and cooked well.

Atmosphere is warm, welcoming and clean.

If you are ever in the area, make this a MUST DO!

Thanks to Sam and his family for providing a top tier place to eat in LA.“

“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“

“We haven't ordered from Ribs USA for quite a while because we had been very disappointed with the last couple of orders. But we tried again tonight and were we pleasantly surprised! Aside from the fact that we did not get the baked potato that we ordered (we didn't need it anyway), the ribs were much larger and had a lot more meat than in the past, and the vegetables were absolutely delicious! Also, the garlic bread was very good. Really enjoyed our dinner tonight and hopefully again in the future.“

“Pros:
-has a bathroom
-good brisket
-manager seems friendly

Cons:
-small parking lot, difficult to find parking if the lot is full
-limited choices
-sides including Korean pancake are cold
-gets really smoky“

“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!“

“It was our first time visiting, and the service was awesome. From the moment we entered, we were greeted, assisted with placing our orders and the food was delightful 😊. I ordered the shrimp plate with mac- n -chesse, red beans, and rice, which were very flavourful & seasoned to perfection. My hubby ordered the pork chop meal with yams and mac -n- cheese & a dinner roll. Both plates were definitely appetizing to the taste buds. Banana pudding for dessert added the finishing touches. We will definitely be back and refer others. We highly recommend M-GF it will keep u going back. Best regards, Youlanda Jasmine-Jones“

“Food is Laways great here. Especially the Xinkali. I've had it many times and its always on Point. Just recently tried the xash and it was awesome. Everything is a bit on the pricy side but then again quality costs. I just wish they cost a little less then maybe we can use them more often then not.“

“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.“

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