This place should be called BBQ Dumpland...because its terrible!! Beans were not cooked, meat was dry, garlic bread was cheap bread from the store with some slap of garlic on it. Only thing good was my canned drink. The BBQ place down the highway is better, but not great! Actually nothing...nvm

We were looking for tri-tip sandwiches for our night in Santa Maria. The wait for the Swiss Restaurant was an hour and we looked for another option. BBQ Lands tri-tip sandwiches were tender and delicious. Immediate and great service at reasonable prices.

The service was great very informative and friendly, let me tell you about the food , One of my sons had the pulled pork sandwich. He said it was delicious. My other son had the double cheeseburger with fries. He gave it a seven out of 10 , my husband and I split our dishes and the chicken was amazing. The tri-tip was delicious. The ribs were also so tasty! 10/10 . We will be back !

Bar B Que Land use to be really good. Remember on the weekends in Santa Maria you can smell BBQ up and down Broadway, they took a great idea for fundraising and turned it into a daily business. Most recently we made a purchase expecting some BOMB A** BBQ...sadly it was not! The TRI TIP meat is so dry, and it's more like top lock cut, not the actual Tri Tip cut, it doesn't matter how much bbq sauce or watery pico de gallo they give it still won't become juicy... plus it was at least a day old, but the worst part of it all the meat was cooked over PINE not OAK🤦 anybody that has bbq'd on their own knows that cooking with Pine is a major NoNo. Not only does it change the the flavor of RED or WHITE OAK, but cooking with Pine wood can make you VERY SICK... beware Patrons of Santa Maria, and good luck if you continue to dine there
Amazing food and customer service. Friendly staff and food comes out fast!

"An absolutely memorable BBQ experience! The food quality is outstanding, with a wide variety of main dishes and fresh, delicious sides that perfectly complement each other. The service was excellent; the staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, offering helpful recommendations. Prices are reasonable, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. This spot is a must-visit for BBQ lovers!"

I recently stopped by BBQ Land in Santa Maria, and it’s definitely some of the best barbecue I’ve had in a while. The tri-tip sandwich was fantastic—juicy, with just the right smoky flavor, and served on perfectly toasted bread. You can tell they put real care into the barbecue here. I also tried the ribs, and they were fall-off-the-bone tender, with a nice depth of flavor.
The sides were generous, too. The beans were rich and flavorful, and the coleslaw was a great balance to the richness of the meat. The whole place has a laid-back, welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly and quick to get orders out even when it was busy. I’d absolutely recommend BBQ Land to anyone in the area looking for an authentic Santa Maria BBQ experience. It’s a hidden gem worth checking out if you’re craving solid, satisfying barbecue.
I have been coming here for excellent BBQ and Korean food for 20 years. It's crazy that you can find authenticity at this level for two different cuisines at a single restaurant at REASONABLE prices.
BBQ Land is my go-to when I need a kimchi fix and my husband/daughter want some awesome tri-tip and ribs -- I drive from literally an hour away! Plus, it's a locally operated and family-owned restaurant with stellar service. How many places like that are even left?
