27 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Simi Valley

“Second time coming to ZEF'S and will be planning on coming back for more brisket, burnt ends, tri-tip, pulled pork, and ribs soon. We got the platter and it easily had enough food to serve 4 for lunch with the sides and everything. Logan and the guys were friendly and made picking up the order an easy and worthwhile trip.“

“The meat is good, and the cocktails are too. However, the desserts are way below average - not tasty and not nicely presented. We’ve been here twice, and both times the service was disappointing: once they forgot to bring our food for a long time, another time we didn’t get water or plates and paddles on time. So, the service isn’t our favorite, but the food itself is good.“

“Great food and service, thanks Kyle!!“

“We've been coming to this place for about a year now, and it never fails to impress. The food is absolutely wonderful. Love being able to watch them. Use the grill to cook it. They have a great array of proteins, including seafood and lamb. The vegetable selection changes every time we come in, which is great. Most days, they have a little robot that delivers your drinks all in all. It's a great place to visit and and up reasonably priced for the amount of food you can get. It's all you can eat.!“

“Awesome food and great selection in the market. Friendly staff!“

“Visited Surajang for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. We ordered bulgogi, beef brisket and beef short rib. All the meets were delicious and perfectly seasoned. The sides and apps were all fantastic especially the Korean pancakes. Service was pretty great. Well attended to and the grill was changed between orders. Everything was very clean. Would definitely recommend and go back again. A surprisingly delightful restaurant in the corner.“

“Great Food! Highly recommend.“

“I like the pork ribs and all the fixings Try the potato salad“

“It’s a love-hate relationship. On the plus side they are very responsive and generally consistent. They give a decent sized plate at $16.
Unfortunately they’re using seed oils all over the food.
Food tends to be pretty salty, but not the end of the world . for whatever reason they like being off on Tuesdays.
Dining in is like eating at a hot house. This place is made for takeout. The good part is you get real meat fix. When you replace the vegetable layer with noodles, they really don’t give you the noodles they give you the rice instead of matter what you say. I think they must’ve had meetings about this.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had an incredible dining experience at Buster's BBQ! Their tri-tip is absolutely phenomenal—perfectly cooked, juicy, and packed with flavor. The spicy sausage is another standout; it has just the right kick that keeps you coming back for more!

What really impressed me were the sides. Their potato salad and macaroni salad are delicious, especially because they aren't overly sweet like most places. It's a nice change that lets the flavors shine through.

The portions are incredibly generous, ensuring you leave with a full belly. Each meal comes with two huge pieces of French bread, which are perfect for soaking up all the delicious sauces.

If you're a BBQ lover, Buster's is a must-visit! Their dining room is very casual, and the staff are very friendly as well. I can't wait to go back and indulge in more of their mouthwatering offerings. Highly recommend!“

“Ribs and chocolate cake, and sweet smashed potatoes and mac n cheese were superb. As was the tri tip salad. Service was the best. I wish I could teach ALL restaurants how to make regular mashed potatoes, especially if they aren't serving gravy. Never the less, 5 stars.“

“Another successful event with Smokin' Steve's as our caterer. The ribs and chicken were so delicious. They are my go-to caterer for BBQ.“

“We had a great time staying for five nights in our RV at the Thousand Oaks Elks Lodge. Everyone we came in contact with were so friendly and nice. The barbecue food was fantastic. We hope to stay there again. Preston and Paula Nott from Kingman, AZ“

“Great place for Hawaiian bbq! Good sized portions / prices. I Got the Kalua Combo and everything was delicious, the shredded pork was nicely seasoned , and The chicken katsu was perfectly fried , and went great with the katsu sauce ! The rice was your plain average white rice it was cooked nicely and paired well with the sauces and meats ! The Mac salad was freshly made because it was still a little warm which I personally love and it was nicely seasoned , overall really good spot for Hawaiian food and I'll definitely be back to try more !“

“Went there a few times with my pal Harold De Wit who lives in Thousand Oaks. Lots of beer choices. They’re all cold and tasty, the pizza is great and the staff is friendly. Good experience! I will go again next time I visit.“
