Just finished eating at this BBQ place with my wife and son 5 minutes ago. My wife and I have tried many so-called famous BBQ spots in California — including the one across from the Swallows Church — but compared to this one, they pale in comparison. This place is truly a hidden gem. The food was incredibly delicious, so tender and juicy, and the portions were generous. People who put this much heart into making BBQ deserve to be rewarded. I sincerely hope their business thrives forever.

Came to this gem tonight on accident. Other places closed before 9pm. Not Domestic. Walked in and already the vibe was sick. Group of softball guys, old school frat guys sitting in the room, life of the party. Classic American tunes in the background, great waiter and delicious drinks. Then the food comes out. Mind literally blown by the juicyness and taste of the smoke on the ribs and brisket. Mac and cheese with bacon using the best noodles. Demolished the 2 meat combo and side between two people and pleasantly full. Will come back a million times. Local gem, come here

Great place for BBQ!! Everything is made fresh and the meats are seasoned so perfectly! The deviled eggs were good! We ate the tri tip fries before I realized we hadn’t taken a picture, it was that good! The pastrami burgers were out of this world! The fries were crispy and just right. Stephanie was a great server as sitting at the bar was fun as you could see all the dishes coming out and they all looked great!

DOMESTIC BBQ – Covina, CA
Tucked into downtown Covina, DOMESTIC serves up California-style BBQ with a creative twist. The brisket and St. Louis ribs are smoked low and slow, and the bacon mac & cheese is a must-try comfort side. I loved the cozy vibe, friendly staff, and dog-friendly patio—perfect for a laid-back meal. Pro tip: grab the tri-tip fries and save room for their bread pudding. Portions are generous, flavors are bold, and the house-made sauces seal the deal.

I always order the brisket, it’s my favorite. I know it’s fatty, but today I got all fat. When I picked up my order they couldn’t find it and then could not figure out the change. I got home and meat was not hot and was mostly fat. I called to express my disappointment and was told next time bring it right back, it’s been a half an hour now! Wow! I don’t live across the street! Well, thanks for the disappointment

Ordered the surf and turf dish. Steak was tough and the shrimp was under cooked. For me, the worst part was the shrimp smell and taste in my steak. The steak was floating in the shrimp juice which took away from the taste of the steak and that shrimp smell in the steak just wasn’t what I was expecting. Should’ve stuck with BBQ, that looked pretty good on others plates. This seems like a great place to hang out, I’ll definitely give it another try.

Place looked nice, clean, fun bar vibe. Service is okay, nothing I’d recommend although they through in an optional kitchen charge tax even though no food was ordered on my end! Needless to say I had them remove any optional taxes.
Food , crappy bar food. Dry or drenched in sauce.

Delicious bbq with Mexican influence, the pulled pork torta had a mouth watering salsa with enough heat to add flavor without overwhelming the other ingredients. We learned from our waitress everything is made from scratch including the condiments and the freshness and lively flavors come across. Will definitely come back again to try the rest of the menu.

Went here on a weekend night. Was seated immediately. We ordered Tri Tip Fries for our appetizer, Pulled Pork Sammy with Potato Salad, and Classic Brisket Sammy with Bacon Mac N Cheese. The food was great and the price was reasonable. The stand outs for me were definitely the Classic Brisket and the potato salad. Tri Tip Fries and Pulled Pork were good. The Mac N Cheese was definitely the low point. It wasn’t bad but I don’t think I’d order it again. The service was quick. The food came out quick.

Great new choices. Had the Brisket bowl that was phenomenal. Sundays only has prefixed menu and they close at 330 so get there early to brunch hard. I’ve been telling as many people as I can about this place.
