If i could have given this place a ZERO, i would have. I recently visited this BBQ place in hopes of a positive outcome, and it was a total letdown. First off, the place looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the dinosaurs roamed the earth. The tables were sticky, the floors were grimy, and I swear I saw a family of dust bunnies having a reunion in the corner.But wait, it gets better. The staff were about as welcoming as a cold draft in January. They were rude, disorganized, and seemed more interested in gossiping amongst themselves than actually serving customers. It felt like I was interrupting their personal hangout time rather than patronizing a business.And let's talk about the food, or lack thereof. The BBQ was tough and dry as the Sahara desert and tasted like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a week. The sides were nothing to write home about either – dirty salad and coleslaw that had seen better days.Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Save your money and your taste buds, folks.

Decided to try this place opening night (which normally I'd wait for reviews) but glad we didn't - it was great!! A nice change from the usual dinner choice and love the long list of sides with multiple sizes to choose from (garlic mashed and mac & cheese, a must try!!). The ribs were also good and the portion was more than enough. My sister is a vegetarian so she had plenty to choose from plus we indulged in the desserts :) Can be comfort food or for ordering on the light side, there's something for everyone!

if you like meat, you're going to like it here. if you like your meat barbequed, you'll like this place even more. good sized portions for a good price. don't fool yourself and get something like a salad. get a big plate of ribs, or chicken, or tri-tip. you won't be disappointed.

Love the food and service. The staff is super friendly and the food is consistently delicious. I love coming here for lunch because its normally not as busy as at night. I always get the tri-tip which is delicious, then drenched in bbq sauce yummy!

Honestly the best Tri-Tip i have ever had. The mac n cheese is super tasty as well. Definitely making plans to come back on the regular. Ps the peach cobbler is to die

We will definitely going back and try the full rack ribs plus Peach Cobbler and their burger is one of a kind. Thanks again for such a great food and service. Every one was happy sitting enjoying food and music. Highly recommended.

Too salty & dry. I'm not one to complain to the staff as I don't want them to think I'm trying to get a free meal or for them to spit in another dish, but they asked me what I thought and I was honest. They said it was strange and left it at that, didn't apologize or try to fix it. $20 for 3 difficult bites, I threw away the rest.

I received a flyer in the mail and wanted some barbecue. I didn't check the reviews before ordering. Pulled pork sandwich was dry and the bread microwaved. The chicken was hard to eat maybe reheated, corn bland coleslaw was the only thing that taste good. Macaroni and cheese just ok. I would love to help this restaurant.

I've lived in the area all my life and watched this location change many times. I have yet to find a good BBQ place with reasonable pricing. Well, I believe it's arrived folks! My wife and I wanted to try All American BBQ since it opened. From the thought of BBQ, it might sound expensive. But once you've tasted the food, and see the size of the meal, you'll realize that it's very reasonable. I typically get the tri-tip meal with cole slaw & bbq beans while my wife gets the trip-tip sandwich with a side. We come away full each time and the flavors are awesome. We almost make it a weekly stop when we're in town. On Fridays & Saturdays from 6:30pm to 9pm there is live music by different bands. We just listened to a couple that sang songs from the 60s, 70s and some country/western this past Friday. It certainly adds a nice ambience while eating dinner.If you've been to this place when it was chinese food, then you'll know that this new owner has certainly put a ton of money into upgrading the place and he still making upgrades. Very clean and actually pretty quiet with indoor and outdoor seating even with it being right at a busy intersection. The bands play outside and the music is loud enough over any traffic noise but still pleasantly low enough for the neighbors.While this place might look small from the outside, it's actually very roomy when you're seated. Parking might seem restrictive but there is parking on both sides and at the rear of the building as well as on Vanowen.Right now, and I'm not sure if there will be, there is no alcohol served at this place but he does have fresh iced tea and other non-alcoholic fountain drinks available.The owner is a nice guy to talk to and runs a great business. The food is great. I just wish I could break loose from the awesome tri-tip meal to taste the the other items. Some day! And don't forget to get the peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream for dessert. Stop by and give it a try. If you're into bbq then you'll be hooked. It makes me drool just writing this review.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at All American BBQ, a hidden gem for barbecue enthusiasts. From the moment I stepped through the door, I knew I was in for a treat. The tantalizing aroma of smoked meats wafting through the air set the stage for an unforgettable culinary experience.
