Came for dinner and it was okay. Amicable (young) staff, quick service. Ambiance is a little gloomy, dim lighting, tavern vibes. Price to portion of food was fair. Food was luke warm (was expecting a more fresh/hot cooked meat) of pork and chicken. Mac and cheese with chicken was great, as well as corn bread. Plenty of free parking in the lot.

The meat (pulled pork and briskit) were pretty good but the sides were... meh. Fries tasted old, mashed potatoes dry and clumpy.

Absolutely the best BBQ I’ve ever had — hands down! The meat was insanely tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. Easily the most delicious meat I’ve ever eaten in my life. Can’t wait to come back!
This is the kind of BBQ that makes you tear up with happiness — it’s that good.

We drove from Anaheim to try this place, I would give a B-
We ordered potatoe skins, we're heated up not made fresh, so that was disappointing.
The Bbq was ok, the ribs were also a reheat.
The mac and cheese was good, as well as the sweet potato fries.
With all the reviews we had read, expected much better.

I ordered the tri tip and brisket. Both came cooked as requested. I prefer medium rare and moist. The service was excellent and overall we had an enjoyable experience. I will be back soon.

Bad to the Bone BBQ is BBQ heaven! Every bite of meat is packed with smoky, juicy flavor—seriously finger-lickin’ good. 🙌 Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the counter, chilling outside with table service under the patio heaters, or feeding the whole family with their online catering boxes, this place has it all. The sides are just as tasty, and the portions never disappoint. If you love true BBQ, Bad to the Bone is where you need to be. 💯

My wife n I came to try this place and I have to say everything we had was better than Jack's in Lake Elsinore. We got the 4 meat combination that consisted of baby back spare ribs, brisket, tri tip, and pulled pork. We got the mac n cheese and corn bread as our sides. My wifendidnt really like the BBQ sauce and I did. My wife didn't really like the brisket were i did. Monday is pretty empty @ 2:00 pm just FYI. You can smell this place from a good distance and it is as good as it smells. Im sure the other meats we didn't have are going to be just as good. Do give it a try and make your own review. Everybody is different, and your going to get those 5 stars and 1 star reviews.

Beware !! They stealing food from customers !!! I ordered ribs and burn ends through Doordash . It was 2 orders . Doordash delivered 1 order with ribs , 2nd order with burnt ends did not came . Doordasher said that restaurant said everything is in 1 bag , which is definitely not true . Doordash customer service is not giving refund , nor food re- delivery .
What a disappointment in my Birthday !!!!
