Amazing grilled Tri-tip and babyback ribs. Both were tender, flavorful and delicious. Loved the garlic rolls too. Friendly and efficient staff took good care of us during our meal.

I like to eat salad as a meal sometimes, so I ordered a salad. This salad was so large I had to ask for a box to take home the remainder. I've never had to ask for a box before for a salad. It was great.

This used to be my go-to place for barbecue whenever I would visit Simi Valley. The owner has retired and family has taken over running the restaurant. Recently visited for the first time in over a year. Got the usual items I always order. Tri-tip potato Supreme with an extra side of tri-tip. I also returned about a week later and got their lunch special of a tri-tip beef dip sandwich. The portions remain generous. But I found the tri-tip to not be as flavorful as it used to be. Both for the potato and the sandwich. Don't know if they've changed their seasoning or smoking recipie? It's still a good barbecue place just not as good as it used to be. In terms of cost the potato and the sandwiches are still a very good value as are the sodas to go.

This place is a staple and have had many tasty meals there but that tri tip French dip was so bland. Just thick uncooked beef and really bland au jus

One of my top favorite places

Kid-friendliness: Be warned the bench seating is super low and sagging. Small children will need a booster

After getting an oil change we debated what we should do next. Being we’re fat boys my friend took me to a spot that was good. He started telling me about some rolls. I guess like the garden place has bread sticks and well known for them but hat is how Reds. I like to challenge places like this. Not because they have one thing down does it mean all their menu is top notch. With that being said I ordered the mesquite burger which came with two sides. I choose scallops and Mac n cheese. How can you blame I said I am a fat boy. I know it’s not the healthiest but they are my favorite and it they serve it I’m ordering it. So I ordered mesquite burger rare, yes I said that right rare as in bloody pink. Like I said if they offer it , I’m ordering it. Now standards are pretty low meaning there are some mistakes and I’ll let it slide some having the restaurant redeem themselves by fixing the issue. Now it was close to closing so I get scraping the bottom of the pot. I’m not going to expect a new batch when all they are going to serve is a spoon full. But I got to say if certain foods are breaking down say “we ran out” and save yourself having the customer getting an impression of the food. I’ll explain. Mac n cheese breaks down making the cheese get sort of hard the oils or grease in the Mac start seperating and even though the Mac is full of liquid it can still be dry and the way it clumps. You get one spoon full and the bowl comes attached to it he spoon as if hanging for dear life. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has eaten old Mac cheese. Further more you leave in heat and it gets a sort of taste on the cheese. So how can you come back from that?the scallops were not any better. The one thing I thought was going to be different is the mesquite burger. But no. The burger was not special you can tell the meat was some store bought patty. Maybe a big box brand. But had no flavor. The burger did not condiment as in ketchup or mustard . The only reason it was not dry was because of the tomato and the grease on the cheese. As rare as the burger was it was dry pics included. Now for some of the plus sides of this Yes!!!! They have some really good rolls tasty and buttery with garlic seasoning on it. They are sooooo goood! With some ranch dressing to go with the roll OMG!!!! The reason this place got so many stars is because this review was redeemed by the rollls. Not saying all on here menu is alright. The other thing that surprised me was the cauliflower hot wings. They were good like really good. I was tricked into eating something healthy. Now the server made everything so much better. I haven’t laughed that hard. He was really positive. If you are having a bad day he would be my go to person to get cheered up. As soon as I remember the name I will post it I should written it in my notes.

Reds is not as good as Wood Ranch BBQ but it's half the price which makes it worth it
