50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Santa Fe Springs

“was good and tasty will go back again“

“Highly commendable service and absolutely stunning set menu! we went here for dinner last night for our Halloween date night! Their wagyu cuts are 100% top-grade and not just random "wagyu" that are below the marks. We tried their A5 and M9 meats, not to mention their salmon carpaccio that is to die for. Their sides are absolutely delicious and smart, one great example is their fried pork buns that is like a spin on soup dumplings. To top it off, you get premium ice cream in the end. Their salad is so good with yuzu and smokey salt, plus you get a chili mix too. They serve the meats fast plus your tablet menu is in front of you so you don't have to keep calling the staff to refill. I give them 9 stars! 🌟 🐄 🥩“

“Good quality meat with reasonable price. Highly recomended!“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had an amazing experience at Chubby Cattle AYCE BBQ celebrating my wife’s birthday and a big part of that was our server Sam. From the moment we sat down, Sam was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful. He made sure everything was explained clearly, checked in on us at the perfect times, and kept everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed. His positive attitude and great service really elevated our meal. Definitely one of the best AYCE BBQ experiences we’ve had—thank you, Sam!“

“Great service and food . The best ribs in Cerritos“

“I’ve only gotten the stock burger which is very good. Hoping perhaps one day I’ll be hungry enough for the max rib“

“We came here 2 days back to back and was definitely not disappointed the first day we just wanted to try the place out and ordered the pork belly sliders and a brisket Mac n cheese. Both were amazing but… the next morning we came to get brunch and ordered the chili verde breakfast burrito along with the tri tip breakfast bowl and I must say that had to be the best breakfast burrito I have ever had! Plus the sauce with the salsa they give you for that bowl was delicious!!! I’m just upset that the brunch is not year around“

“Good food. Great service. Very understanding and accommodating staff.“

“We went for the first time today and boy was it delicious! I had the brisket bowl my husband had the 405 sandwich and we shared the brisket loaded fries, it was all delicious there was nothing left! Cudos to the person that is smoking the meats in Artesia location and the staff😊“

“We haven't been disappointed at Ruby Red. Food and service is the best.“

“This place puts a fun twist on Korean BBQ, blending in some Mexican and American flavors—such a cool fusion for the neighborhood!
I had a great time here. The food was delicious, and the music really set the vibe haha.
The Kalbi was hands-down my favorite, and the kimchi fried rice was perfectly portioned and packed with flavor.
The service felt super warm and welcoming—like family. And seriously, the food? Yummmm! 😍
I’m definitely coming back!“

“Food was delish❤️friendly services“

“Absolutely delicious! I decided to try this place today and I'm immediately reviewing to get people to support this local gem. I had the tofu vegetable combo plate and it was tasty as hell. The tofu was soft, the veggies had the perfect bite, and the brown sauce was well seasoned. The entire dish was warm and light enough that I almost cleaned my plate despite it being so satisfying. I'm happy I was able to bring some home for later and will be going back regularly now!“

“fantastic food!! awesome cook owner! highly recommend!“

“If you need quick Mexican food, this is a great spot.

I got the sampler to go, and it was really tasty—well cooked with good flavors. Ordering was fast, perfect if you’re in a hurry.

I’d definitely come back to try more from the menu.“

“Great KFC Wings and cold beer!“

“Bbq Pull Pork Sandwich With Potato Salad Was Delicious. I Will definitely be coming back to try the brisket sandwich next. 😊“

“Amazing food love Korean fusion especially the bulgogi burrito 🌯🌯🌯the burrito is so packed it will likely fall apart as the tortilla cannot contain all the incredible food and delectable ingredients. I got the bulgogi and it was perfect. Juicy, just the perfect amount of sweetness. A generous proportion and well balanced with the egg, veggies etc.. a perfect medley and entirely satisfying.“

“Unfortunately, I can never try this place because I don’t live locally and I always try to call them to find out even if there’s any parking because when I go on Google Earth, it’s impossible to see the restaurant and not sure where to park also, I want to make sure that they’re open because sometimes businesses say they are and then they are closed for whatever reason I’m trying to call them day after day, but there are no phone numbers. It’s not a very smart business move because I feel like they are probably losing many business like people like myself. I wanna try it.“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“The food is an upgrade from Ono Hawaiian BBQ. Treat yourself American! Shootz!“

“me gustó la sopa y los apps“

“It’s expensive, but the quality of the meat is excellent. Don’t compare this place to AYCE KBBQ. I come here once or twice a year because it’s far, but it’s worth the trip. The bean stew tasted different from last year—this time it seemed overboiled or not freshly made.“

“Great experience!!! Great food!!!“

“Came here for dinner time during Christmas week with my family. We were a group of 10 and we came right at peak dinner time, which honestly sounds like a terrible idea but thankfully they were able to sit us within 40 minutes. We were sat at two tables and had a burner each. The service was great, especially with how busy they were that night. The KBBQ was super yummy and I especially loved the steamed egg, I ordered two total. The house salad was so so good- I wish someone would tell me the recipe (pls) because I ate the whole bowl. The meat came out at a decent time and I enjoyed sides. They also offered buldak ramen, which my younger cousins enjoyed- so I’m sure other parents or family members may wonder what else kids may enjoy here. I will definitely be back!“

“Best BBQ Pork Sandwich ever!!“

“There was such a long wait here on a Sunday night, but it was totally worth it. Little Skewer is my favorite place to get skewers. Once you step inside, you’ll understand why it takes forever to get a table - you won’t want to leave! The atmosphere of the restaurant seems specifically curated to create the perfect environment for eating and drinking. Beers were BOGO. Chinese wines were served in tea pots and dainty little saucers. Beneath the tavern lights, a lounge singer sweetly serenades the diners through the huge karaoke machine at the front of the store.

Service is mostly done yourself through an iPad. You place your own order through the system and workers bring the food out to you.

Meats such as beef and lamb skewers are ordered in batches of 10 and will most likely make up the bulk of your skewers, but there are many other types of additional skewers to choose from. An unexpected favorite for me was the king oyster mushroom skewers. I don’t even like mushrooms, but these king oyster mushrooms were irresistible. Biting into the springy flesh was so satisfying. The spicy, vibrant flavors and juiciness made my mouth water and crave more. The scallops, served in their shells with glass noodles, garlic, scallions, and chili paste, were addictive enough to pound back like shots. I also really liked the chicken skin skewers because the crispiness provided a nice contrast to the other dishes. And I liked the pineapple sausage so much that I ordered two.

I would totally recommend Little Skewer for dinner, catching up with friends, and a good time.“

“I love coming to T-Kebob! However, the last time I came here I noticed their prices have jumped and they no longer serve their lamb and beef skewers in orders of 10. This is my favorite spot for skewers though and their corn cheese is perfect! They've also switched brands for their Taiwanese sausage and it doesn't taste as good.“

“Came by with my son last minute they were almost sold out (says a lot about how amazing there food is) so we grabbed what they had left bbq beef ribs mac and cheese and smoked beans….you guys the food was beyond AMAZING i love bbq but this particular spot 10/10 my son is a picky eater i got him his own plate he devoured the ribs and mac and cheese. I highly highly recommend do not listen to the few who gave negative reviews because you will definitely miss out. The service was amazing very nice and patient with us. Too bad i cant post a video because the portions are HUGE !“

“So does your policy of a minimum of 2 people eating extend to senior citizens who may not have anyone to dine with???? Shame on you for turning away a paying customer…“

“best pulled pork & barbecue chicken! it was just a bummer they ran out of ribs🙄 i will catch on next time.“

“Tasty food, generous servings, below average prices. My wife and I had the roast duck noodle soup. Tasty duck, lots of nice noodles, I think it was Chinese broccoli cooked tender. Broth was okay. Lots of takeout traffic. Not where I would take a first date, run down. Service was okay. Decent parking in the lot. I'd go again for the food. Takeout is ideal. Lots of other menu choices to try. Discovered this through Vic and Jeff's food blog on YouTube.“

“This our first time here. We came at almost closing ( 840pm) but the employee was really nice to accomodate and still help us with the food. We ordered a combo 2 for $29 ( only online) n got it to go since they almost close. The food came out hot and portion is generous, they gave a lot of meat and sides r delish. For a bbq chain this is really good quality. Fries r crispy n well seasoned, mac cheese was good, bbq sauce was delishhh. The toast was soft but crunchy at the same time, very buttery. The meat is so juicy and tender and soft fall off the bone type. I couldnt finish my plate in 1 go n i was pretty hungry! Definitely will be back again :) 9/10“

“I went to celebrate my milestone birthday.
food, service and atmosphere was superb.
it is on the pricey side but I think it is worth.
i didn't tell them it's was my birthday but somehow they figured out and brought me seaweed soup which is a traditional soup you eat on your birthdays.
it was so nice of them to do that.
i highly recommend if you want to experience high end Korean restaurant.“

“Flavorful & JuicyStopped over to pick up a little BBQ. Yum, yum.Tri tip, ribs and chicken.Yes, try the chicken it falls off the bone totally juicy and has an excellent flavor (tip: you don't need any sauce) it's great.Tri tip is juicy and you get good chunks.We got 2 sides mac n' cheese (thumb size noodles and plenty of cheese. Also a side of potatoe salad, its chunky with black olive pieces, egg pieces and quite creamy. I don't know the recipe but it's good and home made.Giant barrel smoker. They park at the cross streets of Francisquito blvd. and are off of Puente Ave. (Look past the O'Reilly Auto parts) Follow the smoky smell!“

“Thee best in the west And fast service“

“Grading this on a curve of theme park food and, honestly, this ranks as high as it gets for their quick service. I got the ribs, chicken, and corn on the cob and they were all delicious. Maybe a little dry but again this is theme park quick service, so you shouldn't expect anything less. The line is usually pretty long but moves quickly. Plenty of seating, though it is all outside.“

“The meat was good and tender. Service was exceptional. However, they could use some coaching on preparing the sides. They were a bit lackluster in taste.“

“The food portions of the meal for 2 are great!
Food was delicious and I although I was stuffed I could’ve kept going. I’ll be dreaming of that brisket!!!

Thank you Jose for the phenomenal service and making us feel at home. As well as helping us with our order.“

“We found this place by chance and what a hidden gem!

We ordered the clams, oysters, scallops, quail eggs and they blew us away. Service at atmosphere were both great and the beer was perfectly cold. Will 100% be coming back again.

10/10 from us!“

“This has become my favorite Chinese BBQ place recently! Very authentic and their skewers are always fresh and fragant with their charcoal grilled fumes. Their grilled fish is one of my favorite dish as well, comes with sorted veggies in it, fish was very fresh.“

“this place are amazing the og burritos was so delicioso service was great thanks to JC this guy are A_Plus good customer services“

“I was driving down Whittier Boulevard. On the corner of Whittier Blvd and Rancho drive. I smelled some barbecue it caught my attention quick like. Luckily I hadn't had dinner yet so I stopped and got a $20 plate. It was stacked with meat. It had tri-tip, chicken, and ribs. Smoked to perfection. The plate included a side of Mac and Beans. I also had two tacos. All the meats are full of flavor, tender and juicy. If you're in the area and you enjoy barbecue I highly recommend this spot.“

“My sisters and I came from Bakersfield just to try his BBQ, let me tell you well worth the trip, worth the price. Especially extremely grateful that he accommodated our needs for seating. Very welcoming, polite, funny, and great customer service. Thank you once again!! We will be back with the whole gang next time!!😉“

“Tastes absolutely delicious and exactly the same as it did 30 years ago! Teriyaki chicken, order the #1 and you'll be happy!“

“Had the shrimp vermicelli shanghai style noodles, which I highly recommend. The service was good, the food is yummy and inexpensive. We dined in. The restaurant is non-descript and they accept cash only, so just be prepared! Perfect Chinese food!“
