    Pull pork, pork ribs, beans

    Found this little hole in the wall gem ! Great BBQ MEATS. From beef ribs, pork ribs, pull pork, brisket on Fridays. Choice of sides, beans, macaroni salad , potato salad & green salad. Very friendly help !! Nice little stop Over in Red Bluff

    Barbecue at its best - nummm!

    This is great barbecue. Pulled pork sandwich was amazing and tri tip was smoky goodness. Great service, such nice people! Oh, and a barbecue sauce worthy of slathering.

    Cleaning is important.  Dirt and dust was everywhere.
    Dave B.

    I'm not sure I would call this a BBQ, rather a grill BQ. Smoked meats are not usually soaked in some sort of jus. Maybe BBQ sauce but to certainly not to hide the smoked meat flavor. The Tri-Tip did not have a smoke ring rather it was soaked is some sort of brown sauce dying the meat and taking away from its flavor; tasted like beef broth. The chicken was good and was similar to tender oven roasted chicken. Again the smoke flavoring was missing. Take a look at their photos where there is grilling of chicken happening. The Weber Restaurant in Chicago uses the same cookers but with much more success. There is nothing wrong with grilling except when it's being called BBQ. I would like to see the meat, smoked, cut and served while letting the customer season or sauce it to their liking. I was a bit put off by the cleanliness of the place as you can see in the photo below. As for cleaning, we were the only ones in the store while the staff played on their cell phones. They could have been cleaning any spot in the restaurant. Perhaps the owner should watch their staff and have them work and clean rather than playing on their phones. For cheap food on all levels this place may be worth a try. Ma no Manga.

    Really great BBQ in a simple, unpretentiousness location: an old gas station. A perfect pit stop along the I-5.

    Tri tip sandwich here is very good. Around 7.50 and isn't super big but flavor is on point. Worth stopping by for and grab for the road.

We decided to go in for dinner last Saturday night about an hour before closing. It was a steady pace, not busy. I ordered a Steak Sandwich just because I always order a French Dip wherever we go and since it was a Saturday night, I went WILD ! It came quickly and looked delicious. The fries were hot and the grease they were fried in was recently changed. The roll was buttered and with crispy edges. The lettuce was crisp and the tomato and pickle very fresh. I was all set for a delicious steak sandwich and hot fries. I was so DISAPPOINTED . I could not chew through the piece of meat. By this time the restaurant was wrapping things up and customers headed to the door. I ate the fries and tomatoes and took the other half of the sandwich home so my husband would have a midnight snack. The other half can't possibly be as bad. WRONG ! It really was. The entire " steak" was inedible. $23 and all I could eat was the fries. I also asked for AuJus to dip my sandwich in and boy, even that wouldn't have helped. A vat of battery acid may not have done it either. Will we come back to M&M ? Absolutely! The waitress was wonderful and for the most part the food was too. I should have brought the steak to the attention of the staff but I didn't. I just wanted to go home. Any restaurant could have had the same issue. Although I do think the cook should have noticed the fat in the steak when putting the sandwich together. Great place with really good food and a honey clean environment in which to eat it.

We had a grilled romaine salad with blue cheese, walnuts, tomatoes, thinly sliced red onions, and a balsamic glaze, with tri tip. It was to die for. Also we had a Triami sandwich-that's tri tip and pastrami. The pastrami was grilled to the almost crackle point and tastes fresh. The bread was fresh and toasted, and this came with tri tip, thinly sliced red onions, tomatoes, jalapeños, and melted provolone cheese.

I love a good hot pastrami sandwich, so I ordered one on a sourdough roll. I also got a small potato salad and macaroni salad to try. While we were waiting for the sandwich to be made, they brought us a complimentary deviled egg, which was a very nice surprise and absolutely delicious. The sandwich was excellent. The vegetables were sliced nice and thin, the flavors blended together perfectly, and the pastrami was flavorful without having all the excess fat that some pastrami can have. The potato salad was delicious--just like homemade. I'm not a fan of sweet macaroni salad, and unfortunately this one was a little too sweet for my taste. That's just a personal preference, so next time I'll stick with the potato salad instead. I will definitely be stopping here again and look forward to trying more of the menu.

    If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would!…read more E's Locker Room has become one of my favorite places in Red Bluff, and every single visit has been outstanding. The food is consistently fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. I've honestly never had a bad meal here. Whether it's the pizza, wings, or one of their famous E-6s, everything is made with care, and it shows. Our family and group of friends--usually 20+ people--eat here at least twice a month, sometimes more. With a group that size, you'd expect to run into issues now and then, but we never do. The food is always excellent, orders are accurate, and everyone leaves happy. That's pretty impressive! One thing people should know before they visit is that this isn't a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, they bring your food to your table, and you bus your own table when you're finished. Personally, I LOVE that concept! It keeps costs reasonable, allows the staff to focus on making incredible food, and the quality is second to none. It's a small trade-off for such an amazing experience. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and fun--exactly the kind of place you want to gather with family and friends. After everything they've been through, it's wonderful to see them thriving again, and they deserve every bit of support from our community. If you're looking for amazing food, great value, and a laid-back local gem, E's Locker Room is an absolute must-visit. I recommend it 1000%, and we'll definitely keep coming back!

We saw lots of people who worked there moving around the floor but no one talked to us or mentioned we order up front. When I finally caught on (we were seated outside) the girl at the counter said "thats why you dont just sit down". I just placed my order and paid ,it was $40 for a large but its just 2 of us and we wanted leftovers. I then asked if they bring it out or call our number and the girl eye rolled me and said she'd bring it out. She really got irritated when i asked where the bathroom was, i know its clearly marked, i just asked before i looked around. Both the girls then just pointed with the eye rolls and then laughed as i walked off. So back to the pizza, there were definitely leftovers. Its a good size with tons of toppings. We ate it for 2 dinners and one midnight snack. The outdoor seating is really nice. You are overlooking the river and dogs are welcome. We had our 2 little guys so it was great. I would like to try this place again but hopefully get a little nicer service.
