7 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Dana Point

“My family and I walked in this evening and enjoyed the appetizer, which included fried zucchini, chicken tenders, and mozzarella sticks. We also ordered the family feast for 4, and it came with corn on the cob, cornbread, baked potato, baby back ribs, beef and pork ribs, chicken thigh and legs. Before it came out, the server brought out a bowl of bbq sauce, sour cream, and butter.There was also live music that was entertaining for a Friday night. I will definitely be back to eat lunch/dinner here again soon. Thank you, The Rib Joint Roadhouse!“

“It’s legit Texas style BBQ. Their brisket is amazing and their beans are superb. The last time I went there, they had smoked meatballs which were amazing. Side note: a shoutout to the people in charge of the playlist there: I’ve been there 3 times already and always a good selection ?“

“The food was very good and healthy. I had the two piece chicken (actually cooked on a flame grill) lunch with 4 tortillas, lettuce/salad, beans, and a smooth guac (which I really liked). Tomatillo salsa was very good. Nothing was loaded with salt which is a big deal to me. We’ll be coming back.“

“Best, new family owned place! My first time trying Korean BBQ...had the spicy pork...soooooo good! Environment was very welcoming...and customer service was awesome! Kuddos to owners Maggie and Earl...you’re doing a great job! #customerforlife“

“Ordered takeout. Service was good. My order was done when promised. Before I left the restaurant, the friendly server reviewed my order with me to make sure it was correct.The BBQ chicken was good. The sides were so large (1/2 pint) that I couldn't eat my whole meal. I had a taste of baked beans, mashed potatoes and mac & cheese. The baked beans were weirdly sweet but good. The mashed potatoes are very creamy. The mac & cheese is creamy but bland. The dinner rolls are sublime.The atmosphere of the restaurant seems quite nice. It's a wee bit more upscale than the plethora of fast casual restaurants in the area. It would be a good choice for a date night. The patio looked very inviting even on a cool winter evening.RECOMMEND“

“The food was really delicious. We had the combo chicken and kalbi. The chicken was so flavorful and the kalbi was nicely grilled and did not have that heavy soy taste you sometimes get with kalbi. The vegetable spring rolls were also really good ,and having the Hawaiian Sun pineapple orange drink to wash everything down was the icing on the cake. The service was very nice as well.“

“Had to write another one (with pictures). You guys are THE best! The food was delicious and people kept coming back for more - and there was plenty to go around! Everyone (this is not an exaggeration) wanted to know where we got it from. DELICIOUS!! And the service was exception. Jon Jon was so kind, and even let us move up the pick-up time only a few days before so that we weren't scrambling before the event. Bad to the Bone -- we love you!!!“
