50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Walnut

“Absolutely obsessed with this restaurant! It’s my go-to whenever I’m in the Walnut area and need a guaranteed delicious meal. Let’s talk about the Hainanese chicken - it’s a revelation. The texture is unbelievably tender and smooth, not a bit rubbery. You can tell it’s made with care. The chicken skin has a lovely, subtle gelatinous quality, and when you pair it with the fragrant rice and the incredible house-made chili and ginger scallion sauces… it’s just perfection. Don’t sleep on their other dishes, either. The potato noodles come in a massive, steaming clay pot with a soup base that’s both spicy and deeply flavorful. The fried buns are golden, crispy little clouds of goodness. The atmosphere is super casual and welcoming, and the staff are always friendly. Honestly, for the quality and portion size, the price is a steal. This is a true neighborhood treasure, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!“

“Food always great service is ok too! This is like our extended kitchen.“

“Locomoco is bomb with gravy. Very good Hawaiian. My jam the Locomoco. The bomb fresh Hawaiian. Get the locomoco.“

“Brandon was our server and he was so nice, so funny, and explained everything to us loved it!! The wall decor is awesome, they even had robots serving your side dishes! The Diamond Tier was awesome with grade A5 the dry aged wagyu was melt in your mouth good! Just as good as what we had in Japan. Brandon cooked them up for us and we enjoyed talking with him. Celebrating my husband's birthday they sing and have some ice creamsicles ube or honeydew flavors. They do have drink stations, some extra food stations, a dessert station all of which you can walk around to grab yourself. The Otoro thick cut and black pepper beef cubes were our other favorites. Can't wait to go back!“

“Amazing food and amazing customer service!! I shared it on all my social media’s so all my friends would know about this place and be able to have their own experience at home. My whole family loved it and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend this place!“

“It was our first time here. Wanted to try somewhere different. It’s more affordable than the places back in Garden Grove. When we first got sat, we were very confused on what to do. Tan came over and helped us out a lot. I observed other workers just pacing around but Tan was the only one hustling from table to table to assist. Food was great. Grill size is a bit limited which was my only complaint. But definitely recommend coming here“

“I have also eaten at many barbecue restaurants. The ingredients in this barbecue restaurant are very fresh and taste good. Both meat and vegetables are grilled to perfection. The environment shows that the boss is very attentive and the service is very considerate. The price is reasonable and cost-effective. I recommend it to friends who like barbecue.“

“This place is consistently the best BBQ around this part of town !!!“

“Brisket is wonderful with the tri-tip a close second“

“ok so we had their brisket and holy cow it was actually perfect, super tender and that smoky flavor was just right. i honestly didnt expect much from a place in a strip mall but the moment i walked in it smelled amazing. the mac and cheese was good too, really creamy with a little crunch on top. we got there right before the rush and the guy working was chill and helped us decide what to order. definitely gonna come back next time im in town.“

“I love this place! It just a whole vibe!“

“We haven't been disappointed at Ruby Red. Food and service is the best.“

“Just dined at Mad Wolf Mongolian and had a great meal. The service was very kind and got our meals prepared quickly and efficiently. The flavor was on point since you get to choose the meats and vegetables and sauces that you want. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be coming back again.“

“We enjoyed my birthday dinner tonight at Jakes Roadhouse. The food is delicious and the friendly service was great.“

“This place doesn’t take reservations, and the line is always long! I waited almost two hours on a Saturday evening for a party of four. It was VERY loud inside - turns out they had an entertainer named Adam who would sing Chinese and English songs. You could pay $20 for a song request.

You order everything on the tablet. There is a call button on each table to get service. The skewers are good but tiny portions. What’s really good here is the chicken wing! I also really like their malatang and golden soup. The meat in the soups is fatty though.

Credit card accepted. Plenty of parking. Bathroom in the back.“

“Excellent service ! We ordered the large beef combo for 2 and it was more than enough. Very good quality.“

“Great selection! Very clean, tasted really good. So happy they are close by!“

“This establishment offers an authentic Chinese culinary experience, deeply rooted in its cultural heritage. The staff consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism and hospitality, and the restaurant maintains impeccable cleanliness, fostering a positive and inviting atmosphere.“

“This place is such a hidden gem! The food exceeded all my expectations—grilled skewers are juicy and well-seasoned, and the stir-fried noodles have perfect texture. Service was attentive, our order came out fast and the workers were polite. The atmosphere is warm and comfortable, really a great spot for casual meals with family or friends. 10/10, I’ll be a regular customer from now on!“

“The BBQ is so good for me. Service was friendly and fast, and the overall atmosphere was warm, laid-back, and full of that Chinese BBQ charm. Whether you're a BBQ lover or just hungry for something hearty and satisfying, this place is a must-try. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Just had an incredible feast at this place! 🤩 The quality of the meat was top-notch, so tender and flavorful. 🥩 I loved how easy it was to order and pile up my plate with all the food stations. 🍽️ Our server, Ethan, was so helpful and friendly. I signed up for a membership just because of his Michellen-star level of service. Seriously, no confusion, just pure enjoyment. 👍 I'm already planning my next visit back! Highly recommend for any meat lover! 🙌 #GreatService“

“Had a great experience at Eighty Eight Q! The food was really good, but the service from Hermione was what really stood out.

She was super attentive and somehow always knew when we needed more meat, sides, or dessert. She would check in at just the right time without us having to flag her down or ask. It made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable.

You can tell she really pays attention to her customers and takes pride in her service. Definitely one of the best servers we’ve had at a Korean BBQ spot. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The meat quality is good, the place is clean and modern. The only downside is that they don’t have steam egg option but not a deal breaker.“

“I love this place. Lively Atmosphere.“

“I had the catfish and it was great . You have to eat it with the special sauce he has . DD was just outside with his meat smokers and jamming some amazing tunes. What a great guy and I will definitely go back for more. 5 big stars“

“Great ihaw ihaw and crew are very friendly“

“I was in Diamond Bar for work and was craving Korean BBQ, so I decided to check out SEOUL BBQ after seeing all the great reviews. Let me tell you… this place did NOT disappoint!
If you can make it for lunch, their $24.99 AYCE lunch special is one of the best deals around. The banchan came out first, and everything was fresh and delicious, but the glass noodles were my favorite. I could’ve eaten those all day!
Then the meat started rolling out… game over. The prime rib, beef belly, and brisket were all fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. Add a little salt, throw it on the grill, and wowww… every bite was amazing.
We also ordered the kimchi fried rice, steamed egg, and spicy tofu soup, and every side dish hit the spot. The service was quick, the staff kept checking on us, and they never let the grill get too crowded.
For $24.99, the quality and variety are hard to beat. If you’re looking for a solid AYCE Korean BBQ spot in Diamond Bar, this place is definitely worth checking out. I’ll definitely be back. Soooo good… let’s go!“

“Thank you very delicious Margarita and family“

“it's a friendly place with alot of happy smiles, it's food is great! best Hawaiian food I've tasted in a while... u can usually catch the owner at the shop and is always willing to talk to u as if u are part of the family.“

“We had a wedding rehearsal dinner on Saturday July 2nd. Included Ribs, Chicken and Tri-Tip! Wow, did that go fast and I asked how was the food..... 5 stars especially the thin sliced Tri-Tip (made great sandwiches). Thank you Diane and crew. We will be back.“

“Kangnam Korean BBQ's location may not be that ideal, but the food they serve here is definitely worth your drive all the way here, especially when you finish your 18 holes at Diamond Bar.

Ordered their combo of spicy cold noodles and LA short ribs, noodles is good with the authentic Korean taste, same as the LA ribs, meat were well marinated and grilled with good portion.

Have to mention a little bit about their appetizers, the kimchi here is definitely a good one comparing to other places.“

“What an amazing local find! The BBQ was incredible, but the service from Michelle really put it over the top. She was so polite and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of the whole time. If you love a great 'mom and pop' restaurant with a welcoming vibe, you have to check this place out!“

“New favorite place to get my grub on. Could not get enough of the brisket, which was genuinely, the best brisket I've ever had. The sauce was immaculate, the corn bread looks and tastes amazing, excellent menu replete with everything from ribs to hot links, potato salad (my personal favorite), summer salad, you name it. Will be going back again. And again.“

“I love it enjoy so much I wanna more“

“Every dish was delectable, and great service! We all had a fantastic time there! Definitely will be back, and for celebrations.“

“Great food friendly people“

“The food is fantastic, the staff is friendly, welcoming and efficient. What's not to love?“

“My go-to sushi spot for sure. I’ve been here so many times that they already know my order when I walk in 😂. Great sushi, great service, and they always make you feel welcome. Can’t recommend this place enough!“

“Friendly cool environment light Hawaiian music employees are friendly and helpful

I’m very picky about where I get my teriyaki.
My sister had brought me a bowl to try out.

I got the small bowl. Just the teriyaki chicken and rice. They give you a lot of chicken and big pieces too. They also have extra teriyaki sauce and hot sauce. Ohh and they have free fountain drinks between 2-4 pm. My order was to go. Love this spot.“

“I recently visited The Corner Butcher Shop in La Verne for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and first-time buyer friendly. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and happy to answer any questions about their selection.

Speaking of selection—the quality of their meats is top-notch. They offer a fantastic variety of premium cuts, all fresh and expertly prepared. I was also impressed by their wide range of seasonings and specialty items, making it easy to grab everything I need for a great meal in one stop.

Overall, this place exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be making it my go-to butcher shop from now on. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality meats and excellent service!“

“Picked up a truck load frozen chicken from here.park on street and check in at office. Have to back in from street unto the docks nice and slowly. It's a quite street so shouldn't b a problem. Newbies might struggle a little bit. Best bet is to wait untill both the docks are empty since they load fast. All the best drivers 👍👍“

“great food and wonderful service. very dog friendly and a really nice experience overall“

“Aaron and Vicky were the best. Vicky was so quick on bringing our orders out. Aaron explained everything as if he was the chef himself. I would believe it if this restaurant would be owned by them.

The food is the most delicious. $39 for all you can eat. It gave us favorable ribs and bulgogi. Those were our favorite.

We had the order rice paper, tortilla, and salsa constantly since we were with Mexicans. They totally understand their customer. Worth thr drive for quality.

I was able to enjoy my squid cut up by small. Constant grill change. It was impressive.

Plenty of space for a family reunion.“

“My service organization regularly came to Silver Spoons' predecessor, so when we found out that Silver Spoons was open, we made the restaurant our next meeting location so we can try it out!

I usually order my go-to to test out a Thai restaurant, so I ordered the pork pad see ew ($14.95) and mild golden curry with chicken ($14.95). I would've ordered a fried rice, but the mild papaya salad ($13.95) caught my attention instead. Note that the dishes come with your choice of chicken, pork, or tofu included in the price, but if you want beef, it'll be an extra dollar, and for shrimp, an extra $2. What was surprising was that the curry doesn't come with white rice. You'd have to fork out an extra $2.50 for that. I thought everything tasted great, though both the papaya salad and pad see ew was a little heavy on the sauce.

My friend ordered mango sticky rice ($12.99) for dessert and I was surprised and happy they had that available (I went to another Thai restaurant during Christmas time and while they had the mango sticky rice on the menu, they said it was not in season so they weren't selling any). I took a few bites of it and enjoyed it -- not too sweet and not too heavy! Don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free Thai tea.

Service was pretty good! There's plenty of space inside for small and large groups. Plentiful parking too in the parking lot.“

“The food is alright. The one I had in LA was much better!“

“good food and staff friendly with always attentive to us customers. very quick always ready to replenish your plates“

“delicious food. good selection of meats. short wait for a table. our server Ethan was great as well as all the other staff.“
