They have a big menu and the staff was welcoming and knowledgeable. - I got the brisket plate to go and oh my gosh, was it delicious ! The meat was tender and flavorful and the serving was gigantic! It came with rice and beans. I really appreciate that they used my environmentally friendly to go container that I bought from home. - There is both outdoor and indoor seating. I waited for my order outside on the patio and listened to the live band which was really good. My order was ready to go almost immediately and came with free tortillas. The meal was heavy, but in a good way, and I will definitely be returning.

I've known about this place for several years. I always wanted to come here. Everything sounded…read moregreat. So on our little trip up to Central California I decided to stop here for lunch. Oh boy, real Santa Maria BBQ! Woo Hoo! Tri-Tip is the name of the game in these parts so that's what I'm doing. Got the Tri-Tip Dip and a side of BBQ sauce so I could have it both ways. I was really looking forward to these West Coast Chili Beans too. Wife wanted BBQ Chicken so I got her the BBQ Chicken Combo. I asked the girl at the register if we could get dark meat with the combo. She looked a little confused and said "You mean like Tri-Tip?" Oh boy. No, dark meat chicken like a thigh and drumstick. "Oh, do you want a breast or a thigh?". Let's roll with the thigh, thanks. Our food came out pretty quickly. I asked for horseradish for the Tri-Tip Dip and was politely told they don't have any. Silly me, why would they have horseradish when they sell a French Dip Sandwich? The Tri-Tip Dip was decent. Not going to lie. The West Coast Chili Beans were a disappointment. I expected so much better. The BBQ sauce was runny and tastes like molasses and maple syrup. Nah, Stick with the Au Jus and you will be fine. The Chicken Combo was a train wreck. Beans cold, rice cold, chicken overcooked by a mile. It's not easy to overcook the hell out of dark meat chicken but they found a way. Wife not happy, at all. It's another one and done. Sorry Rancho Nipomo Deli & BBQ.

They seated us right away. The dining room is one large room w basic tables and chairs, very casual. We were immediately greeted by our server Codey. She provided water, crackers, pickles, and salsa- pleasant surprises. She was the "Goldilocks" kind of server- not too much, not too little- just right. We ordered an old fashioned and a Cosmo rocks; both were tasty. Entrees were served with choice of baked potato, French fries, rice, steamed veggies, Plus salad w homemade dressing and bread. The prices seemed reasonable given the quality and all the extras. They offered a choice of complimentary 5-6 ice cream flavors for dessert. He ordered a top sirloin, it was boneless and a perfect medium rare. I thought it interesting that most of their steaks were boneless. They actually have quite an extensive menu. I ordered a pork chop which was tender and delicious; it was served w generous side of apple sauce. All in all, great meal and terrific service by Codey.

We were traveling for a youth basketball tournament nearby and the team decided to have lunch…read morehere. Felt a bit bad for the staff it was apparent they are not used to having such a crowd all at once. I think it was literally just our 2 bball teams that took up the whole restaurant for a late lunch. I think there was only 1 person working front of house and 1 in the back. The food came out quite slow. I guess good and bad in that we knew they were freshly cooking each order, but it ended up taking over an hour for our food. I gotta say though, the food was quite good and large portions. I had the BBQ chicken sandwich with side salad. It's apparently a new item. It was quite good both the chicken and the salad. My kid had the chicken and shrimp basket. Good ol fashioned fried foods. My wife and other kid had the pesto chicken pasta and the shrimp Alfredo pasta. Also quite yum. And too large for either of them were able to finish. So leftovers for dinner! Overall would def recommend. Just don't bring 2 whole basketball teams with you.

The restaurant was empty except us. The regular menu is interesting but pricey for a bar and grill. We settled on sharing a plate with two chili cheese dogs and fries. The hot dogs were regular size and the chili was canned but okay. No cheese on the dogs. The crinkle cut fries were excellent and plentiful for the two of us. The service was very good, but we were the only ones there. The ambiance has tall and regular tables; pop music playing.

These meatballs remind me of those days! These are fine textured, tender and juicy with plenty of meaty flavor. The sauce (or gravy) was JUST like my friends' Nonnas, and rivals the iconic La Villa Deli sauce, seasoned with a delicate touch and not oversalted. I 'll try some of the other Italian sandwiches, incl the Pastrami dip, which was a childhood favorite. Very friendly staff and they do a steady takeout trade, so call in if you're in a time crunch.

Seemed to close early, 8pm, for a brewery, but I guess it's a quieter area. Arrived past 7, hoping we can still get food and we were still good for food and beer! Ms. Kristie was so efficient and friendly and awesome, hustling back and forth from reception to seating and dropping by to check on all the patrons. Like a one woman show! I went for the Peanut butter falcon since I like a good brown beer. The peanut butter was initially nice, but it kinda became tiring as the sips went along, since peanut butter seemed a bit much over the beer. Got wife the German Pilsner and that was excellent! Smooth with a hint of malty sweetness too! I am thinking maybe the Lawn Order blonde ale is probably going to be great as well, but too full from late lunch to consume more than one. For food, went with the birria melt and the salmon salad. Birria melt had some awesome authentic flavors to it! Kid devoured it with the consomme. I enjoyed a quarter of it, but too full, so worked out perfect since kid didn't want to share more either, lol. Salmon salad was perfect! Pan seared on both side for that wonderful crust yet tender goodness. Salad dressing with cherry and almond slices made this salad so enjoyable while staying lighter. Was not expecting such salmon from a brewery, excellent food here! Locals seem to love this place too until closing time I guess, since a group that seemed to be bar hopping arrived exceited when we got there too:)
