The Ribshack Que

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 My husband and I have been eating at the Rib Shack for several years. We enjoy most everything they offer but really love the beef ribs. I had them cater my 60th birthday.

Firehouse Que & Brew

Barbecue restaurant

👍 Nice people and great brisket! Lots of indoor seating, and there is a bar area. Plenty of tv’s to catch the game. All the meats were terrific, though a little more seasoning would have been preferred for my taste. The mashed potatoes weren’t great but the beans more than made up for it. All the staf...

The Wrangler Barbecue

Barbecue restaurant

👍👍 On somewhat short notice we ordered food for 150 people for a memorial service. They delivered to Valley Center. They needed minimal interaction, being very self sufficient. What a relief to our already burdened hearts. It was the easiest element and the food was excellent. 4 people came to serve...

KM BBQ

Korean restaurant

👍👍 This place is great. It’s different than other Korean BBQ’s you will go to. They lay everything out and you take it back to your table/grill and cook it up. They have pretty much everything you would expect from Korean BBQ. The beef bulgolgi is one of the best. They have a great selection of veggies...

Heritage Oceanside

Barbecue restaurant

👍 We've been wanting to try Heritage BBQ at the San Juan Capistrano location for quite a while now. The biggest things holding us back are we really didn't like the seating situation or just buying meat by the pound. Since this location opened and they're doing something different with the menu, we fi...
