About Heritage Barbecue

Heritage Barbecue is a restaurant known for its exceptional Texas-style barbecue. The brisket is a must-try, and the char siu pork and beef ribs are also highly recommended for their tenderness and flavor. The menu includes tasty sides such as beans and potato salad, with some customers particularly enjoying the spicy cucumber salad as a refreshing side option. The beef rib is often mentioned as the best part of the meal, with some describing it as nearly two pounds of delicious meat. The brisket is praised for being moist and flavorful, standing out compared to other barbecue places in Orange County. Customers frequently note the outstanding flavors and the exceptional BBQ craftsmanship behind the windows, showcasing the care put into each dish.

The restaurant features a friendly and inviting atmosphere, with a varied playlist enhancing the experience. The mustard-based BBQ sauce is described as amazing, and many regard it as one of the best they’ve ever had. Although parking can be difficult, with limited street parking and a paid lot nearby, many consider it worth the visit, especially for BBQ fans willing to arrive very hungry and order lots of food. The staff is efficient and friendly, making it a suitable place for kids. However, some customers have noted that the beans may be disappointing, and the place can be expensive. Vegetarian options are not available. Currently, the restaurant does not sell Giant Beef Ribs on the weekend due to supply chain issues, but they are expected to return soon. Overall, Heritage Barbecue remains a popular choice for those seeking quality barbecue in the area, and it is highly recommended for a fun adventure with friends and family.
