Business not open.... We drove all the way from Rancho Cucamonga. Need to update or delete business from app.

We were hoping to try out this facility. Unfortunately, unsure if they are open- phone number listed is no longer a working number.

Really enjoyed the meat , we got the big 65 dollar pack, can't remember what it was called . If there was a suggestion for improvement it would be the the portion sizes of the sides be a little bigger . I'm sure with this rough economy is the reasoning behind it . I think my favorite meat was the hot links . They had such flavor and were really good n spices. Thank you for your good food .

When my friend was craving BBQ, she did a quick search and found this place. Walking up we were so confused, but we decided to give it a shot. 5/5 stars! Everything was delicious! We have been back multiple times!

A very cool way to spend your Saturday evening. This is not a brick and mortar, this is a house that is serving homemade barbeque in their enclosed yard with the appropriate permits. There are signs on the outside that read Boonies and the directions to get here work perfectly. The meats here really melt in your mouth, the Bbq sauce is one of the best and you should definitely try the corn casserole. We enjoyed the brisket, pulled pork and sausage. Every thing tasted great. You also should BYOB because they do not sell. The prices here are not bad, you get 2 sides with your order. There was live entertainment and a very cool and relaxing ambiance. There are only a few tables available. From our experience people were kind enough to move to the seats at the performance area so others could dine at a table. It was an overall great experience and would do it again.

This was one of the weirdest place to call a restaurant because it looks like it's at a residential home! I'm not sure if we just went to the wrong address or what! We went expecting outside dining but only saw someone's house which had no signs of a restaurant or anything stating that there was a restaurant with outside dining. We weren't even sure if they served food there! Lol. The food on Yelp looked good too! Sure wish we could have tried it too! I would have taken a picture but out of respect I won't take pictures of people's homes just know that it was in the residential area.

This is the best BBQ in So. Cal.Chris came in took care of everything.Everything was great, and the service was fantastic. Everyone was asking for Boonies contact info for their next event. This is our new “place” for get togethers.

I have to say, this was the best BBQ we've ever eaten. Chris and his wife offer not only the highest level of customer service with a down home feel, but the food he prepares is like none other. Our whole family will be using Boonies for years to come...if he'll have us!! Thank you for being on time and providing our family with more than we even asked for. It was hard to chose between the pulled pork, the amazing tri tip or the homemade chili. You can't go wrong with any of it.

Ok we love this place ! Everything is wonderful and the atmosphere is amazing . We've been here three times and have tried it all. The Apple desert after dinner is to die for. Thank you for always making us feel at home !

Phenomenal! THE nicest family, such a nice little atmosphere and yes, THE best brisket. Really. I've had a lot of brisket and honestly don't really order it, because I just know it won't be all that great.. Yes, I do enjoy it and have yet to find anyone or anywhere even close to how delicious theirs was. Everything was. We ordered 1lb. of the Brisket, the Pulled Pork meal with the beans, cornbread casserole, and a side of corn on the cob. Like really..where do I start? The sides: the beans, perfectly smoky and sweet in my opinion. That cornbread casserole tastes like something I'm always going to try and find the right recipe for, but will just end up coming back here, because again, it's perfect. The corn on the cob was good, but definitely looking forward to trying out the other sides. (Their Carolina Slaw and Southwest Chili) The Meats: The Pulled Pork on the little rolls with the pickled onion and the homemade sauces. Now I know good bbq doesn't need any sauce, BUT when the sauce is this good, it's really hard not to. One was the Carolina Mustard Sweet Sauce and I'm not quite sure what the other one was (I believe there are 3 sauces and we got 2 out of the 3 with our order) but I love me a good Carolina sauce, vinegar based and thats right up my alley. A delicious bite to it and regret not getting more. Now..that Brisket. THE juiciest, most tender, delicious smokiness that melts in your mouth. Absolutely needs no sauce, no bread, no nothing. I still can't get over how good his Brisket was. Both that and the Pulled Pork had that perfect amount of simple smokiness with a wood fire. Sometimes I feel people get carried away with their mesquite or hickory woodchips and it's overpowering, but here, they ABSOLUTELY know how and what they're doing. Oh! And if you can, get a slice of that Southern Apple Dump Dessert. It's sooo good. Like, if I could have the whole pan, I would. It's seriously such a simple dessert, but sooo good and I do love simplicity because sometimes, that's when you find the best food. I seriously cannot wait till we go back. Again, they really are some of the nicest, most welcoming people I have come across and look forward to going back, just because of their hospitality. We WILL make sure and get there earlier as they will run out of their delicious foods. So make sure you do too. Thank you so much! And we look forward to seeing you again!

How can you *not* love this little place? A historic, handsomely maintained Craftsman home, snuggled in the middle of a quiet, historic neighborhood. The backyard has been converted into a pleasant, friendly, al fresco dining experience, with set up for seating of perhaps 20 people at a handful of small patio tables with colorful umbrellas. This evokes happy thoughts of middle America. This small business is blossoming from an abundance of sheer determination, personal touch, and ingenuity, and some outright, really nice people who happen to have the same palate for food that I do. Corona's best kept secret is out. Well, part of the secret. Chris and Jennifer wisely dont share their secrets to their meats' smokey goodness. I know they do not use the usual strong hickory and mesquite woods. To develop such a wonderful smoked taste, I recall they use fruit woods, which evokes a far more wonderful and delicate flavor. There are only three choices of meats that they serve, brisket, pulled pork, and hot links. In my humble opinion, you should be trying the brisket and the pork first, unless you happen to be a hot links fan. I am not. The brisket and pulled pork are above reproach: super moist, tender, mouth wateringly burnt goodness around the edges from his secret rub recipe, and generous servings. These flavors would win blue ribbons in competition every time. You get to choose two sides with your meal. The family recipe for cornbread casserole is a religious experience, heart be still. My family also consistently chooses between baked beans and the tasty cumin-y chili for side #2. Should you "need" dessert, they make a homemade apple dump cake that screams of clove spice in the fruit filling. Let's just say, I do not *need* that, but I do *want* that! I can only hope they introduce ribs onto their menu. And at that point, you will not be able to drag me away. Well, that's a little white lie...I'm already hooked. They accept cash or credit. The stream of people who come for take-out is quite impressive. Grub Hub or Door Dash? They offer one or the other, or both, not sure. One of the most enthusiastic 5 stars I have ever been privileged to give!

Stopped by this new local BBQ spot in Corona and boy was I pleasantly surprised! Smoked brisket in Corona.. WOW! This meat was killer. So tender and tasty. Hot link was good too. The side of chili is excellent and has a good kick to it. It's family run in a neighborhood at a cool dude named Chris' house. You gotta check it out. P.S. Apple dump dessert is bomb.
