As soon as you start to approach you can smell the aroma as if it’s luring you in! I love the beans and the brisket the most and if had a complaint it would be that the portions are a bit underwhelming but the taste is on the money. Even though the portions are on the smaller side this is definitely a places I’d “waste” my money on!!! Treat yourself one and a while.

This is my favorite spot at Yaamava' 909 sports bar + food hall. The BBQ here is soo good and worth the price. Also, if you have a player's card you get a discount on food so its win-win. The usual order I like are the burnt ends. They are delicious. Service really depends on how busy it is or what time of day you go. Usually the order is ready pretty quick. Since its a bar of the sports finding a seat can some time be difficult. Either way if you're craving BBQ at the casino. Come by and try them out, the food is good!

Two stars only because the ribs were good....This was probably the worst bbq meal that I've ever had. I was so excited to try this place out but then so disappointed afterwards. I get it that things happen from time to time and nothing is perfect but the whole meal except for the ribs was just bad!The ribs were good.The bbq sauce was horrible,watery and lacked flavor.The baked beans had no bbq flavor or sweetness flavor and was overpowering with spice.The side of corn was not edible.The corn bread was so small and the whole bottom was burnt and stuck to the bottom of the paper tray it came in.The pulled pork sandwich was bad and lacked flavor and was served on a very soggy bun.The fries were not my style.The Texas toast on the rib plate was ok but came out not very toasted and it was cold.The biggest issue for me was the bbq sauce. Come on! My wife and I couldn't believe it. No flavor and no texture.Like I said the whole meal was bad for my wife and I. The ribs were the only thing we ate. We actually had to go to the drive through restaurant Baker down the street before getting back on the 210 to go home, because we were still hungry!I'll never try this place again. I'll stick to The Pines, Rock N Brews or the buffet.$70 down the drain.Also the young man working the pick up counter could use a class on customer service and as well jezz! What was nice...The atmosphere was chill and clean.Lots of TVs and a nice bar in the middle.I hope your experience is better than ours...

The food came fast and was absolutely delicious! We had the pork ribs, beef brisket, Mac n cheese, and Texas toast. For the price (considering it is located inside the Yaamava casino) we felt we had pretty decent portions of food and got our money's worth. The ribs were absolutely fall off the bone tender, as was the brisket. BBQ sauce was very delicious! The mac n cheese was super creamy and rich and a very good sized portion for a side dish. Forgot to take pics because we were so hungry!!

This was surprisingly really good BBQ! I really loved the Mac and Cheese. They did forget my order but when I went up and asked they made it right there. Portions may be small for the price but im not sure what people expect from casino food. This was beyond my expectations good!

The ribs were so tender and you get 4 ribs and a side with texas toast for $18. I tried the corn and i wasn't impressed. My boyfriend got the Mac n cheese and it was good. Definitely will visit again!
Awesome! Amazing! Tasty! Don't miss out! Mac and cheese omg!!! Burnt ends damit! Potato salad yes! Service exceptional! Busy but fun atmosphere! Don't miss out!!!!

Just Barbecue should be renamed to Just OK Barbecue. The price was high for small portion sizes and mid food. My turkey was dryer than the dirt outside the casino. Rest in peace the baby pig that died for my ribs. It didnt deserve it. Sides were ok. Still not worth tho. Spend your money elsewhere.

Located on the 2nd floor of Yaamava casino inside The 909. The casino gives generous food comps and I take advantage of a free meal here at least once a month. My go to order is the burnt ends plate with a side of their baked beans. The burnt ends have the perfect lean to fat ratio - I wish they served beef ribs on their menu because that would make it for me! Their baked beans are also to die - cooked perfectly, has a nice flavor and kick to it.Service is quick and efficient. I always order via the Yaamava app and it's ready for pickup in less than 15 minutes. I hope they keep this place running - it's very rare for a casino to have solid dining options let alone great BBQ.

I was at San Manuel and decided to stop for lunch. I had the beef brisket with 1 side. I chose the mac & cheese. Everything was really delicious. The brisket was great and the portion size was bigger than other places I have been such as Dickies BBQ.

1 cornbread for $5. Nothing like the pictures on the ordering screen... is this a joke? Maybe next time provide accurate images so customers won't be mislead?
