50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Sylmar

“Came on a Saturday to enjoy Mediterranean BBQ. Staff was amicable, a little slow in serving and taking orders and came to our table with someone else's order. I would highly recommend they do a number system (assign table number to customers for staff to reduce confusion). It was decent food, spices and grilled veggies were good. Chicken was a little thick and hard to cook all the way through those meats. Steak was a bit dry. Seasoned fries and hummus, Pita bread was good. Ambiance was settle, no music or noises. A little pricy but portions are good. Clean establishment. Parking can be a little tight in the parking lot.“

“Great food! Tried the tri tip sandwich, potato salad, chorizo breakfast burrito and a cookie. all delicious. Definitely recommend! Very friendly staff too. The owner (i didn't catch her name) is sooo great and sweet.“

“Had Nia and Jags Barbecue at the Studio city farmers market! Their bbq is just as good as the bbq joints in TEXAS! I am so glad they are around! If you want real Tx bbq definitely eat here“

“This place was AMAZING! I came in here to finally try it as I’ve driven by it the last few months. Compared to other chicken and briskets, which can be stringy and dry, these were perfectly moist, Smokey, and flavorful. The pasta salad was very well seasoned, flavorful, and packed with toppings.

Lastly, we tried the banana pudding which was INSANE! So so flavorful with a bit of crunch, and I loved the cinnamon addition which many places don’t do. It rivals magnolia bakery’s famous banana pudding in NYC!

On top of great food that came out fast and was very reasonably priced, the owner Lori came to speak to us and thank us for dining in. She was so sweet and I have so much respect for her opening up a business, especially in a town filled with chains! It was so refreshing to hear!

I will definitely be coming back for the great food, atmosphere, and family like service! Thanks again Lori!!“

“First restaurant I ate in 1982 and the bbq is still great.“

“It's down and dirty, proletariat BBQ at its finest. THAT's the secret weapon. Simplicity of design and meats that are properly seasoned, then smoked to perfection, with sauce that's on-point. I grew up eating BBQ. This place rocks.“

“Delicious Memphis style BBQ!“

“My son & gf say the burgers are good. You know the bbq is good. I went for chicken in a lemon garlic sauce & found it quite delicious. Nutty coleslaw a good change from sweet creamy standard coleslaws. Sautéed veggies were a tasty healthy filler.“

“In San Fernando on business. Decided to have dinner while waiting for traffic to die down a bit. Doing a search Carbon Grill sounded good. When we got there we were the only customers. Nice little place but other reviews suggested something else and parking for some reason was non existent. Had to park two blocks away! Good menu and prices were fair for these times. Food took a bit long even though it was only us. That is a good thing since it means freshly cooked. Ordered a burger, salads and fried Yucca. Good meal overall. Clean place with outdoor patio along with inside tables. Only complaint was too much plastic used for this level of dining.“

“Our waiter ( mario) best person I know. Service was beyond amazing, would recommend to all! Thank you Mr.’Mario for the best service ever!“

“This place is awesome!!! Their plate size for shrimp fried rice is huuuge and served fresh. ?? You’ll probably have more shrimp in a this plate than the shrimp pasta you had in Italian restaurants youve been to ? They gave me free donut and drink too! The staff is really nice and accommodating as well ?

Vegetarian options: They have variety of fruit selection and freshly made smoothies and shakes

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for wheelchairs“

“Good food, good beer, a lot of TV’s“

“I recently visited a Korean BBQ restaurant called Wuso, and it was an incredible experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. There’s TVs everywhere! I got to see the dodgers play while eating kbbq!
The staff was attentive and guided us through the menu with helpful recommendations.

The highlight, of course, was the BBQ itself. We selected a variety of meats, including marinated beef bulgogi and spicy pork which were cooked to perfection right at our table. The assortment of side dishes, or banchan, was generous and complemented the rich flavors of the grilled meats beautifully. Each bite was a delightful explosion of taste and texture.
Overall, both the Korean BBQ and the TVs were outstanding experiences that I highly recommend exploring.“

“We enjoyed ribs, brisket sandwich, cowboy beans, onion rings and Mac & cheese . All the food was delicious. The staff were also warm and friendly. Service was great. It is my new favorite bbq restaurant in the area.“

“Very good food friendly restaurant“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“We enjoyed our time at Gus's bbq. We had a great booth for 5. Hosts were very welcoming and service people even through a shift change, were seamless. Food was super with great flavors. Bbq perfect. Wonderful complimentary sauces. They had very fun social drinks too!“

“The first feeling is that it is not a popular, dark place and no one works there! The interior is really very old and there is no decor or atmosphere at all! Everything is saved by the food and the staff)
The dishes are really big and very tasty! Next time I will choose delivery, there is no desire to eat at this particular place again!“

“For me, the menu highlights are the grilled meats, jambalaya, gumbo. I saw how the Pit-master grilled the meats. He was very clear about no shortcuts or rushing the process.The jambalaya and gumbo were the best items I ordered today (11/11). I will definitely order these again. They were the best I ever tasted. Perfectly seasoned with high-quality meats, and very good. It’s the best I’ve ever tasted. I’ve only had commercialized gumbo and jambalaya at chain restaurants.I didn’t order any grilled meats. I anticipate the grilled meats being tasty because I tasted some of the meat in my gumbo and jambalaya at it was good and cooked to perfection.The sides were disappointing and I will not order again:Mac and Cheese:A little dry. Too much salt, too much unmelted cheese. Lacked a creamy inside. The bottom and top were just globs of unmelted cheese. Will not order again.Collard Greens:Tasted bland as if from a can. Mixed with spinach and mainly tasted like spinach. Will not order again. I added the greens to my gumbo so I didn’t waste them. Let’s be clear, the greens weren’t horrible. I grew up picking and eating freshly picked collards so I have high standards for greens.Red Beans & Rice:Beans were cold and tasted like they were from a can. Not the Louisiana red beans and rice I was expecting at all. Rice was undercooked with a slight crunch. I added the rice to my gumbo when I reheated it on the stove. I will figure out what to do with the beans.Customer service was good. The lady was very attentive and went above and beyond to ensure every customer was taken care of. She even gave out peanut butter cookies while we waited. Bring your patience as this is a small-scale (lean) food-service establishment.I spent $30 for 2 half orders of gumbo and jambalaya ($10 each), and 3 sides. I probably could have saved a few dollars if I ordered a veggie plate. It was a little pricey for the portion sizes. I charge it to the gumbo and jambalaya which was $10 each and served in 8oz containers. I usually pay $8 for 12oz or 16oz of soup.On a positive note, I got to sample the menu. I know what I like and don’t like. I don’t expect to like every menu item at any restaurant. Bottomline, I will go again.“

“love everything food is the best“

“A wonderful place! We ordered takeout for dinner, and everything was top-notch. The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the service was great. The menu variety was impressive, with something for everyone. The prices are justified by the quality, and we were very satisfied. It’s a great spot to enjoy a good meal. We’ll definitely be back!“

“That’s what I’m talking about!This is some real serious BBQ. I had the two meat combo, which was pulled pork, brisket with mac & cheese, and baked beans. Let me tell you, I’m real picky when it comes to mac & cheese, and this was killer! The baked beans were awesome too. Full of flavor.It’s really hard to find a good barbecue nowadays, and I’m so happy that they are down the street from where I live.Favorite was the brisket ?“

“Great food!! The staff is friendly!“

“Born in the valley in the 1970s grew up eating at this place 70s 80s and 90s before I left the SFV. Came back into town for the weekend for a short visit to see family and friends had to stop by here and eat for the Nostalgia. Waitresses great very friendly place looked and smelled the same food seem to taste a little different though don't know if it's just because of my bad memory or times have changed but still love this place bought three bottles of barbecue sauce to take home“

“Omg the food was fresh and hot good and the service was wonderful“

“Friendly staff and servers. Good selection. Good meat . They seated us right away . Good parking. First time and if I am in the area again, will definitely eat here again.“

“Food was very delicious and fresh and the prices are very affordable. Stuff were very friendly and helpful, great service 🙏“

“Extremely clean. On yelp there is a person named Jose v who stated he saw roaches when he went to pick up his order. This person has never even been there because they keep it so clean. We go there a couple of times a week. If you look at that persons yelp reviews, he’s gone and given negative reviews all over the place. Looks like and acts like a troll.“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“Tried a sample of "Breathe" from the Crooked Path and it was lovely! I was kind of mad I didn't have more of it.“

“There is young lady and older lady today.. I always forget her name but she’s always excellent in service. We come from Pasadena for the barbecue chicken, which is perfection

Parking: 20+spots

Kid-friendliness: Lady always chitchats with kids making contact with kids always a plus“

“I would definitely recommend for parties.“

“I’ve been coming to Siam Cuisine for years. Pookie and her husband are such nice people and their food is very exceptional, the pad Thai is my favorite. But the reason is because of the simplicity and the flavor. The yellow curry is also my favorite, especially when adding shrimp. Hearing their story about them opening the restaurant is also a humble story for the ages. Their dedication and hard work is what makes their food so flavorful and unique. The best Thai food and for a reasonable price too!!! All around!!!“

“Decent all you can eat Korean BBQ in the valley. I ate the premium menu for about 35ish dollars per person and enjoyed the ribeye, brisket, and beef tongue. If you're picky about meat quality there's none all you can eat places in the valley, but this one is decent for all you can eat. I also like the clean and bright atmosphere“

“Just went tonight. The smash burgers are to die for. The staff is the best! Will definitely be back! 💖“

“This place is pretty good for quick food similar to L&L BBQ. The food came out quick, was fresh and the people working were nice and friendly. There is limited seating and parking. We ordered the Bento. 1 Teriyaki chicken and 1 katsu chicken. Both came with macaroni, 2 fried dumplings rice and some salad. Overall, this place is yummy for the price! Will come back again!“

“they have malasadas feeling of being in Hawaii with Hawaiian tunes playing“

“Best burgers in LA... come here at least once a month“

“Good authentic Chinese food.
We had green beans with minced pork, kung pao chicken, fish filet in black bean sauce, and shrimp with lobster sauce. They are all very good and tasty. A little on the salty side, but still delicious with a "strong character" ;-)
Atmosphere is very casual. The typical Chinese restaurant!
Service is good“

“I tried the shawarma from Our Tasty Corner for the second time, and it was perfect! For just $13.99, you get two pieces of shawarma served with their unique baked bread, which is absolutely delicious. Unlike the usual shawarma with pita or lavash bread that you find in LA, this special bread adds a distinctive touch you can only find this shawarma at this restaurant. They're generous with the meat too, and the food quality is perfect, showing just how much they genuinely care about their customers. A truly unique and flavorful experience, highly recommended!“

“After the 4th restaurant in Tujunga failed to make good Shawarma, I thought I would have to drive all the way to Glendale for the only good Shawarma I know, that I get from a food truck. I didn't know Shawarma House existed until today. The dine in place is nice and spacious, the service was kind, and for the first time in Tujunga that I know of, this a restaurant that didn't serve dry wraps with no garnishes.“
