Barefoot BBQ in Seaside is one of those places that reminds you why people fall in love with 30A in the first place. Laid back, welcoming, and full of flavor, it delivers an authentic coastal barbecue experience right in the heart of Seaside. The smell alone pulls you in, and once you’re there, it only gets better.

The barbecue is outstanding across the board. Tender smoked meats, rich sauces, and portions that hit the spot whether you’re coming straight from the beach or settling in for a relaxed dinner. But the real standout, without exaggeration, is the Bushwhacker. Hands down the best Bushwhacker I have ever had anywhere. Perfectly blended, smooth, and dangerously good. It is worth the stop all by itself.The outdoor seating and Seaside location make it a must visit for both locals and visitors.

As a broker with Sotheby’s, this is exactly the kind of local spot I love pointing out. Places like Barefoot BBQ are part of what makes Seaside so special.

If you are looking for great barbecue in Seaside, an unforgettable Bushwhacker, and a true 30A local experience, Barefoot BBQ absolutely delivers. Highly recommended.

Customer service was wonderful. Ladies were so friendly! I’m from KC and I can say the food here is quality BBQ! Sauces were great too.

Will come back.

Only went here because the mac n cheese looked really good, and to my surprise, it was like the mac n cheese that has shells in cheese (I forgot the name) and the seasoning on-top was perfect for the creamy mac n cheese. Also, the service was great! Very friendly staff here! Oh and also, I have to give props to the sandal number wait thing, it is very unique! Unfortunately, I will not be coming back due to the high prices.

High cost, although somewhat to be expected and wasn’t an issue. But food was disappointing. Small sandwich bread brisket sandwiches, meat was flavorless. Unique sauces, awesome place and atmosphere. Mustard base potato salad was 10/10.

Be aware that they add 15% without telling you for a tip for taking your order. Also the brisket isn't brisket. It's shredded beef that isn't really smoked at all and then the nachos are horrible! Bad tortilla chips and the beans, sour cream and cheese are all mushed together. All for $19.95! Portion was meh and very disappointing.

Barefoot BBQ was a nice experience! I ordered the BBQ Nachos, and I received it fairly quickly! This town square can be very busy (especially the week of the Fourth of July) so seating can be unpredictable outside. I very much enjoy the whole vibe of the area! Much so very quite recommend!

BBQ Nachos were good. 15% gratuity is automatically added, and of course, they hand you another receipt to sign on top with another tip line. It wasn't until I was sitting down that I saw the original receipt others have mentioned. Not sure why they think they need an automatic tip for handing you a plate through a window?

$56 for a corn dog, beer, and a half rack of ribs plate. They auto added a 15% tip for handing me the plate. To be clear - I did not tip them. They added the tip themselves to my total. This is a food truck where they hand you the food; there’s no table service. What’s the tip for? That on top of the ridiculous prices ensures we won’t return.

2 stars because the food was decent. Definitely not worth the price though.

First time here, and we'll definitely come back!

Not worth the price. They also added a 15% gratuity and a 2.5% A&E fee and an extra “non cash adjustment”. Ridiculous tourist trap.

Not good, charge too much, trailers next to them don't charge extra fees my crepe Steak and Eggs crepe for $14 PLEASE do the math, no fees other than sales tax

I’m from Kansas City and used to Kansas City BBQ. This was definitely not it but really good. Wife and I had the brisket nachos. The portions were good with good flavor. Was not real bbq brisket but more like roast but very good nonetheless. I would say picture good beachside bbq with good portions of cheese and toppings and you won’t be far off. The atmosphere was great with lots to do in the area. I will definitely be back to try more options.

I’m very critical of bbq, especially since we’re out in 30A. I figured it would be overpriced and underwhelming. I’m so glad I’m wrong. This place is top tier. I’m what we in the biz call “morbidly obese” and born and raised here and both parents separately owned different bbq businesses. This place is the best place to eat out here. Will be coming out here again. The price is totally worth every bite.
