The flavor was pretty good but the meat is not as tender as i wanted. Its tough enough that i did not clean up the ribs.

Great BBQ! I had the beef ribs, it’s a great value with a lot of meat. The ribs were perfectly cooked and flavorful, especially when paired with the spicy BBQ sauce. I also liked the sides, they have many options to choose from.

Good place for drinks and food. We tried the chilled Modelo draft and the pork ribs, both were good.

This place is really good! I have tried the tri-tip and the beef ribs. Their bbq sauce is really good. I like mixing the mild and hot together. The sides are good and the plates are a good deal. It’s also awesome that it’s right on State Street and an even better deal considering that.

I ordered beef ribs — they were juicy and delicious, with an excellent price-to-quality ratio. I placed and paid for the order yesterday and was disappointed when I arrived to find the place closed. However, after trying their meat the next day, I can say that this is a wonderful establishment and I would definitely recommend it. The price-to-quality ratio is excellent.

With a name like “Best BBQ,” I expected something great but what I got was anything but. I ordered the $30 five-meat plate, and honestly, it was a letdown from start to finish.
The beef ribs and tri-tip were so tough they might as well have been jerky. The links tasted more like hot dogs than proper sausage. The chicken? Dry and bland. Everything on the plate was seriously lacking in seasoning. But the worst part, the thing that really pushed me over the edge was the pork ribs. I actually paid for three of those sad, flavorless ribs. The only decent parts of the meal were the rice and the BBQ sauce. That’s it.
To make matters worse, my wife was told to “order ahead just in case they run out of items.” So I did. I placed our order two hours in advance. And still, when I showed up, I had to wait… just to be handed this disappointing meal? Definitely not what I expected, and not something I’d order again.

I have been ordering from Santa Barbara. Best barbecue for at least 2 to 3 years. Love them. Cooking your own ribs is good. But when you don’t want the mess and you want the great flavor this is the place to order from.

This place is a hidden gem in a nice tourist area in Santa Barbara, and the food is amazing. I tried the BBQ pork rib, and it was super tender, with great marinade and that nice charcoal flavor. The service was top-notch, too—Eric really made sure everyone was taken care of.

Oh lord!!!! I had high hopes but woooow!!! For starters the meats are seasonless…no salt either. I ordered tri-tip sandwiches and half tri and chicken bowl. The tri tip was chewy beyond measure…the chicken was dryyyyyyyyy….bruh I mean dryyyyy . Even after drowning both meats with bbq sauce they were tasteless. This joint is in the heart of state street a tourist destination. As a local im disappointed.

I just ordered a Tri-tip bowl on Uber Eats & paid an extra $5 dollars for more Tri-tip, I received the food & noticed that they gave me more rice so the bowl appeared more full. Extremely disappointed, I’ve been coming here since they opened here in Santa Barbara & now it just seems like they are being stingy with their food. Won’t recommend to my peers anymore.
