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.“

“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.“

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

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

“Great food good friendly staff“

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

“Had my motorcycle serviced in the area and decided to walk here for a quick meal while i wait. Yo the food is bomb. I got the pork belly and it was 10/10. The sauce the restaurant had on it was perfrctly sweet and savory. It really hit the spot. I wasnt expecting such a good meal and ill definitely be back here with or without my motorcycle being serviced.“

“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!“

“Very good food friendly restaurant“

“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.“

“the staff is very friendly, service is fast, and the food is delectable!“

“Been eating here since it first Opened in 2002. One of my go to places every week. Gloria is the G.OA.T. (the greatest of all time) at this Restaurant but in general everyone has been solid and the food has never let me down. Custom made meal, 100% your way, great value, more bang for your buck.“

“Love it mane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’“

“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.“

“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.“

“My wife and I ate Here for the first time, Food was AMAZING and service for our server Oliver was even better then the food! A++++ we will definitely be back“

“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 :)“

“One of my all-time favorite San Fernando Valley barbecue eateries. delicious cuisine. Nothing on the menu is a bad choice. The Super Bear sandwich was what I had. tasty, particularly with the sauce from the Bear Pit. Cole slaw tastes perfect. I've had their ribs on previous visits, and I'll give them a try the next time. which is going to happen soon.“

“The best FALAFEL IN USA .“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 👍“

“We stopped here on the way home from LA. The food is cooked to order, so very fresh and hot! There is a little wait but worth it. If I am traveling through that area again and hungry for small restaurants cuisine , I’m stopping there! I have had Korean Bbque before but this informal way with plates, tacos and bowls is genius. I ordered the sirloin bibimbap. I customized it with no rice just salad greens, the shredded veggies, protein and sweet egg. Two sauces came with it on the side. It was delicious! I’ll dream about that meal! My husband ordered the chicken Katsu bowl. He also really enjoyed it. He is no on the veggies ( rice and protein, sauce) and I am always trying to keep it low carb. The chef was willing to customized kindly with no rice. There are tofu options. There are options for many food lifestyles. Delicious and robust with freshness and flavor!“

“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!! The staff is friendly!“

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

“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.“

“love everything food is the best“

“My dad orders from Sam’s Eatery all the time, and we finally tried it ourselves today — and wow, it was SO delicious. Going forward, we’ll definitely be ordering from here not just for ourselves, but also for parties and family gatherings at home.

We got the platter that feeds 4–6 people, and it was beautifully arranged with such generous portions. There were different types of meats, grilled vegetables, potatoes, plus rice and salad — everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The meat was especially impressive: juicy, not dry at all, and not overly seasoned so you could really taste the quality.

The pricing is amazing for the quality, quantity, and presentation you get. We were honestly very impressed.

I just wish they were closer to us — but it’s absolutely worth the drive. Highly recommend“

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

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“Delicious, fresh meats, including pork belly, angus beef brisket, marinated bbq angus beef, black angus choice rib eye, beef teriyaki, and more. Everything paired perfectly with rice & fresh vegetable salad. The appetizers, egg soup, spicy soup, kimchi, broccoli, & brussel sprouts were also excellent.

Outstanding service by Michelle, Melvin, & Destiny. They deserve special recognition for being attentive, welcoming, friendly, and kind.

We had a wonderful time cooking & sharing a meal with mi la familia of origin in a relaxing & enjoyable ambiance. Thank you for the great experience. God bless!“

“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“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been coming here for the last couple decades staff are all very friendly, and the food is always very tasty. Their happy hour Monday deals are fantastic.“
