29 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.“

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

“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.“

“What a gem! Passing thru Reseda and HAD to stop to try a delicious spot I had heard about from valley lifer friends. Holy moly this place did not disappoint! So friggin good. Teriyaki was on point, rice done perf, fresh fruit slices, salad was refreshing too. Totally perfect meal. We ate in store but I would not hesitate to do so again. It has a very welcoming vibe inside, fresh juices everywhere. Good friendly staff too, kept checking on us to see if we wanted anything else. Will be back soon.“

“Very good food friendly restaurant“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I have been to Gus's Barbecue many times and always enjoyed it. We were celebrating an anniversary and decided to go to Gus's because we had a taste for Barbecue. We had 6:45 PM reservations last night September 3 and we got there and receded a little early . The service was excellent. I had the brisket plate and my husband had the ribs and chicken combo. Our waiter actually advised my husband the chicken could be a little dry. He should get the brisket instead, but my husband loves chicken. Everything was served hot and very tasty and yes, the chicken was dry, but my husband didn't complain. We don't like to complain in the restaurant so I thought I would just add it in my review. The next time we go to Gus‘s, we won't have the chicken. Also, as always, the cornbread is outstanding!“

“Pulled chicken and baby back ribs potato salad are the best , friendly staff too“

“muy buen pollo los recomiendo“

“They have amazing rice bowl lunch specials - super affordable at just $6-$8! Options range from chicken katsu and spicy pork to bulgogi bowls. Sure, the portions're on the smaller side, but the flavors're incredible - easily comparable to those at good KBBQ spots. Everything's cooked to order & you can even see them grilling the meat in the back. Definitely a must-try for lunch!“

“Such a great kebab and in convient place to“

“אלופים ברמה אחרת! גם השירות פצצה וגם האוכל טעים נורא! מומלץ!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“favorite food truck ever! awesome food, more than just tacos and burritos, tri tip is available on everything, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, ribs, wraps, cheeseburgers, etc“

“love everything food is the best“

“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“

“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.“
