Had to write another one (with pictures). You guys are THE best! The food was delicious and people kept coming back for more - and there was plenty to go around! Everyone (this is not an exaggeration) wanted to know where we got it from. DELICIOUS!! And the service was exception. Jon Jon was so kind, and even let us move up the pick-up time only a few days before so that we weren't scrambling before the event. Bad to the Bone -- we love you!!!

First time here, nicely surprised.I had a very good Carolina pulled pork sandwich. Very good BBQ sauce, hot fresh fries and even a good pickle spear.Good atmosphere, live singer in the bar, but not too loud in the dining area.Just moved nearby and will be nice to have a great BBQ place close by.Recommended.

Good beef ribs (only served on weekends). Brisket is also pretty good as is the southwest salad. More relaxed spot where you can either dine-in with a server or order at the counter.

Ordered from Uber Eats. It was decent in my opinion. Ordered the two meat plate with brisket and chicken along with Mac and cheese and garlic fries. Brisket and chicken was somewhat dry. Not sure if it was because I didn't eat in restaurant. Fries were meh but max and cheese was good. Not hard to mess up max and cheese. Would I go back? I'd look at other places first.

The bbq is excellent. The place is small but they have excellent service. The young servers and cooks really keep place clean and care about guests . Portions are big.

Ordered a 4 FOUR meat combo, keyword FOUR/CUATRO, 1 chicken breast, 3 tri tip. Instead got no Chicken breast (which they charge $3 extra for), only 1 order of tri tip as if I ordered 1 meat combo when I ordered (4) FOUR MEAT dinner combo. They included sausage which I utterly and deeply hate!!!! Worst order I have gotten in my life. I have ordered from hundreds of places, HUNDREDS. Never have gotten an order so wrongly fulfilled! I have received bad orders before but this place won the Ineptitude award for the worst order! Gold medal of worst places to eat. Then UBER EATS refunded me only $3.27 for a plate that cost $40!!!!!!! What the heck??? I stopped using Uber Eats for around 4 months and decided to use it again today, BIG MISTAKE. Doordash is better when someone wrongs your order they are more understanding and condescending and FAIR. Why would I get $3.27 from a horrible order that cost me $40???????? Does Uber Eats think money grows on trees or appear from the sky like rain????? Bad to the Bone, worst restaurant ever, I never post this type of reviews but I am very VERY ANGRY. Do not go here and boycott Uber Eats too! They have become complicit on this type of behavior from restaurants. Horrible horrible and shamefu.l oh and the tri tip portion they sent was a kid's portion! 2 slices of the thinnest tri tip I have ever received amd payed for in my entire life!!!!!!!!!! Way to mess a Saturday night take-out!!!!!! ??????????

Was visiting orange county and stopped by eat BBQ. Was disappointed with the tri tip sandwich I ordered. Meat has no real flavor and the potatoes without salt. Even the soda from the fountain was watered down. Bummed out

Awesome placeThank you

Great bbq! Awesome little spot with quality bbq. Lunch plates are priced amazingly for the amount of food you fet so I definitely reccomend giving it a try at lunch time. Service is a bit slow which is understandable cause they are relatively busy often! Other than that its a great place to eat with nice and welcoming staff.

5 star because we love the food, ambiance, Jessica and Alberto. We had Kristina today, that may have been having a bad day. Not very friendly.....but we all have bad days and hopefully for someone in the hospitality biz it was just a bad day...
