I can say with all honesty today is the last day I’ll order from here. Their meat is tasty but the value is no longer here. Today I received 2 spicy and 2 regular bbq sauces with my order and I thought they were just mislabeled as ketchup. The sauce is garbage now the portions are weak. You are better off going somewhere else. This crazy because they used to be so good. The only possible good thing about this place is the awesome lady I see out there every morning grinding on the smoker. Shout out to that lady

Great local spot by Almaden Valley. I was in the neighborhood during lunch and wanted something more than typical fast food. Decided to take a chance on Malibu Grill. It’s hidden in the corner of a small strip retail center and doesn’t look like much from the outside.
The staff was friendly and service was quick. I got the Philly tri-tip steak with the fire option. The sandwich is cross between a Philly cheese steak and a tri-tip sandwich. The fire option was a little more spicy than I expected, but it was flavorful. The fries were great, too. They come with a little Cajun spice on them.
Overall, it was a solid meal and seemed like a great place to watch a game or grab a meal and some drinks with friends.

Over priced trash!
3rd time here and I was hoping each time would improve but it didn’t . I brought my son and we split a Nashville Chicken sando and the family bbq with brisket and pulled pork. Everything came in warm except the BBQ Beans and they were served hot. The pulled pork was severely dried out, and didn’t even taste like it was smoked! The brisket had way too much fat, they need to do a better job trimming the fat off prior to smoking. The Nashville chicken sando was dry and flavorless… this is the last time I take a suggestion from an Instagram foodie that was probably paid to say it was good… The BBQ sauce they make inhouse… is horrible…Also, when I placed the order, and was using apple pay, the cashier said “please complete the screen”, I looked and it was for tips… It suggested I tip $10 because the BBQ was $90…when I clicked no tip, she seemed to not like that. I mean she literally did her job and taken my order. How is that worthy of a tip? Smh
I’ve never been so disappointed…. I should’ve listened to my gut and went to Winchester BBQ.

My brother and I stopped by this restaurant because of tiktok, and they did not disappoint. We order the 4 meat plate with 2 sides. And the food was good. The person who helped us order was super friendly, and when we didn’t know what to order, he helped us out. The place was busy at all maybe because the weather was super nice that day and it was a Saturday which was weird but good for us. The food came out pretty quick and was really good. I’d recommend this place to friends and family.

Saw this place on TikTok & was expecting it to be true to the video. Unfortunately, the brisket was dry as heck and the ribs were not fall off the bone as stated. Somewhat dry too & definitely a bite & pull like crazy. Service & staff were awesome but I’m not sure if this was just an off day for them but the food was dry & not hitting. Definitely a one & done for me.

Pros: Nice and friendly staff, yummy food, well cooked brisket, yummy corn, spacious and different seating options. They have veggie and chicken options too.
Cons: meal size is not big, plastic utensils are negative points. Limited non-pork options

Used to go here all the time, loved it. Was very disappointed with our service tonight. When I called our order in the girl who I spoke with was very rude. I ordered a chicken Philly and specifically asked for it to not be on the bread and just have the filling. Got home and it was the whole sandwich and the bread was totally burnt. I ordered chicken tenders as well snd they were completely burnt and not edible. This was just very disappointing as I got this for take out and was not able to make it back in time before closing and now I’m not even able to eat my dinner. Not sure if we would go back again after this.

This place looks unpretentious from the outside. You step in and you’re immediately surprised how large it is. It has a sports place vibe with a separate bar and small selection of beers on tap. I ordered brisket tacos and my son ordered brisket sandwich. But had generous amount of meat in them. It is the epitome of neighborhood spot! I liked the vibe and I’m looking forward to come back and dine in

Tried this place for the first time after seeing it hyped up on TikTok, but honestly, it was pretty underwhelming. Definitely a case of “looks can be deceiving.”
We ordered the brisket and Mary’s chicken with white BBQ sauce, along with Mexican corn, coleslaw, pickled onions/pickles, and cornbread. The kids had the pulled pork sliders with fries. Unfortunately, everything was super bland. No seasoning at all. The bread was hard and dry, and there weren’t many sauce options to help bring the food to life. The only thing that somewhat saved my meal was the spicy BBQ sauce, which tasted more like mild.
Surprisingly, the fries were the best part of the meal—crispy and seasoned well, unlike everything else. Honestly, even Famous Dave’s would be a better choice.
I don’t usually leave reviews, but I felt really let down after all the hype. Just wanted to share my experience.

The Brisket was especially delicious and their hogwash vinegar paired well with all their meats. Great value. Our server was also very friendly and attentive.
