Seasoned perfect, tender, delicious. My usual gripe with bbq is under seasoning, dry, and tough. Their specials are always amazing too. Their natty wine selection is top tier. The actual design of this place is amazing as well. I love this place, highly recommend.

There might even be a private room you can host your friends to watch games. - looks like they have a great selection of brewskis and booze. I did not partake. - The food, to add was for takeout. I had the ribs and tri tip. Everything sold by half Lbs. I'm use to half rack or full kind of portions but no big deal. My ribs were dry and I suspect it's because it was just sitting in the locker. (I went around 1:30p). I can imagine it would be tasty if fresh, the seasoning looks on point. I had the beans side and that was very good! - service was on point! Everyone seems cool. No complaints. Overall, when you add price and the quality. Unsure if I'll go back. But if you do make sure you go closer to lunch to get freshest meats. I have no doubt the ribs and tri tip would be better then.

The facility is quaint with a great outdoor eating area which was clean and relaxing. Definitely a 10+ on a scale of 1-10. If you like tubs, this is the place for you.

To make matters worse, they've advertised themselves twice on doordash under different names. One…read moreis "Beach Pit BBQ" and the other is "BBQ's". How cheesy that they would do such a thing. Their food is lazy trash. Their sausage is gray like it was microwaved, their ribs have no seasoning our smoke flavor, their brisket just tastes like roasted unseasoned meat. Their mac'n cheese tastes of wet noodles and their beans... their beans are actually not terrible. The cornbread... standard, surprisingly. And once again their spicy BBQ sauce literally tastes like tabasco. Gross. Terrible establishment. Unethical tik tok restaurant trying to make a buck off internet trends. Fake BBQ to the max. I fart in their general direction and I hope they get pink eye.

When should I go back. Ever just have a craving and a place actually meets your craving…read moreexpectations??? Well. Hole smokes - you did it! That's a hard feat for me and my other half bc we are picky! But this was great, and we tried a bunch of stuff. So, the man- well he was thoroughly satisfied with his full on bbq platter of brisket and meat and the carne asada tacos the next day. lol. I tried a bite and the meat was so juicy and tender - extremely well cooked and seasoned and just Melt in your mouth - LIKE BUTTER!!! I, on the other hand, have been craving shrimp, don't know why, but they had it on the menu, so figured I'd try - and the smoked shrimp tacos- man OH man - so delishious! Yup! I spelled it wrong on purpose - de-lish. The fried shrimp tacos too and my other craving- Cole slaw. Yummie - I should have ordered more than I did because it was so refreshing and crisp and sweet and just perfect. Mac and cheese creaminess was adored by both of us, wanting more of that too! The only thing I didn't care for, which was slightly disappointing, was the cornbread. Quite dense for me. I couldn't enjoy it. So kind of a shame. And I got a Shirley temple to boot while we waited! Who doesn't love an old fashioned Shirley temple! We had decided to go in person to place our order bc we felt like it needed the 'in person attention', which was good bc the bartender takes the orders and there seems to be ' regulars' at the bar and the attention definitely goes more towards the bar then the phone- so I'm very glad we ordered in person or else it might have been messed up. Just being honest. Even were interrupted mid order by another 'patron' to the staff about plans or something. So that was kind of annoying as we had to repeat that item 3 times to get it correctly ordered. But overall. We will definitely go back, try other menu items and have definitely recommended already. Happy to have found a good bbq spot semi-near where we currently live.

Not really a big fan of it but I was craving BBQ and stumbled upon this one…read more Food came out pretty quick which I suspect they only reheat them or something, the meat was super dry and hard to chew for some reason. I understand that I came after regular lunch hours, probably 2-3, but I was hoping they maintain their quality. The decoration is nice and there was not plenty of people dining when I came.

We had such a wonderful dinner at Anjin. Everything we ordered was delicious, but my favorites were…read moredefinitely the Kainomi, the Anjin Seaweed Salad, and the orange sherbet at the end. The Kainomi was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the seaweed salad was fresh, light, and perfectly seasoned. The orange sherbet was also such a refreshing way to finish the meal. I honestly wanted to try so many more dishes, but since there were only two of us, we could only order so much. Next time, I would love to come with a bigger group so we can try more of the menu. We came to celebrate a very special birthday, and it made the evening even more memorable. We both left very happy and completely satisfied. Thank you for such a lovely experience!

You need to write down your name and number (and the time you prefer). Beef carpaccio is way too good. The dressing went well with the meat. Loved it. Everyone was attentive but they don't have a paper apron so watch out. No storage bins to hide your stuff either so should dress appropriately. The waitress was kind enough to bring extra napkins in case. Very compact but cozy restaurant. All the beef including tongue was declined! Love how we grill on our own. Soup had to be non spicy so we went with the vegetable and egg soup. Mild and tasted great. Very authentic Japanese BBQ!! Highly recommend to Japanese folks and others that love the Japanese BBQ. The parking is easy but it could get a bit crowded.

The portions are generous, the happy hour is awesome, and we absolutely loved the Variety Basket. If you want to try a little bit of everything, I highly recommend getting one of their baskets. And of course, you can't come to Newport Rib Company without trying the ribs. They were exceptional! The service was excellent from start to finish. We had a manager checking on us throughout our visit and making sure everything was great. And when I say this man is 500 feet tall, I am NOT kidding I'm pretty sure if he jumped, his head would hit the ceiling. He is THAT tall! You absolutely cannot miss him, but beyond being memorable, he was genuinely wonderful and made sure we were well taken care of. Great food, great portions, great service, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Last night, my wife, daughter, and I celebrated my wife's 37th birthday, and what an incredible…read moredecision this turned out to be. While searching for reservations, I came across Manpuku Japanese BBQ. I honestly didn't know much about it, but a handful of photos immediately caught my attention. Something about the presentation, atmosphere, and quality of the food made me curious enough to give it a shot. I was fortunate enough to secure a reservation the day before and sent the restaurant a message letting them know we would be celebrating my wife's birthday. Right away they were accommodating, responsive, and excited to help make the evening special. Parking was probably the most difficult part of the entire experience. We happened to get lucky and grabbed a spot just as another car was leaving. If not, I believe there is additional parking available nearby, but thankfully we didn't have to worry about that. Walking into the restaurant was my first surprise. For some reason, I expected a large bustling dining room. Instead, Manpuku felt intimate and welcoming. The soft lighting and wood accents created a cozy atmosphere that felt perfect for a special occasion. The restaurant was also spotless, with clean and organized dining areas and grilling stations. Instead of seating us at a traditional table, we were escorted to a private-style dining area where we removed our shoes before stepping into the seating space. It immediately made the evening feel unique and added to the intimate atmosphere. Now let's talk about our server. Hannah was outstanding. Since it was our first visit, she walked us through the menu, explained the different cuts, discussed preparation methods, asked about allergies, and provided recommendations throughout the evening. She was knowledgeable, professional, and personable, making us feel genuinely welcomed. Her attention and care helped make my wife's birthday dinner memorable. For our meal, we selected the A5 Wagyu Omakase. The experience started with beautifully presented appetizers, including Uni and Beef Sashimi, Seared Beef Sushi, Japanese salad, kimchi, and several small bites. The seared beef sushi was rich and buttery, while the Uni paired wonderfully with the beef. The A5 Wagyu selections were the highlight of the meal. Chuck short rib, culotte, chuck roll, and inner skirt each offered distinct textures and flavors, all showcasing the richness and tenderness that make A5 Wagyu special. The quality was evident in both the presentation and taste. And then there was the A5 Umami Rice. Despite being part of a Wagyu-focused meal, it stood out as a flavorful and comforting dish that kept everyone reaching for another bite. The drinks were refreshing and paired well with the meal. One thing that made the evening even more special was being able to share the experience as a family. Between the intimate atmosphere, attentive service, and excellent food, it felt like more than just dinner. To top everything off, the staff surprised my wife with a birthday dessert presentation complete with a candle and thoughtful decoration. Seeing the smile on her face while celebrating alongside our daughter made the moment even more meaningful and reflected the hospitality we experienced throughout the night. For anyone considering the A5 Wagyu Omakase, come hungry. While the presentation is elegant, the experience includes multiple courses and a generous amount of food. By the end of the meal we were completely satisfied and felt that the experience justified the price. Exceptional service, quality ingredients, excellent food, and an intimate atmosphere made for a memorable celebration.

Tender and fatty underneath a layer of crisp. I didn't get to try the ribs but when I was cutting some up for my son it was falling off the bone! So it must have been fantastic. Tri-tip was okay, probably wouldn't get that again. It was chewier than expected. The tallow fries are full of flavor and addicting! But it's not just the food I love here. I love their entire seating area! They have so much room outdoor it's nuts. I kept turning a corner finding more seating and yet another play area for kids. There was a sand pit, Lego wall, spinning toy, drumming area, large size connect four, etc for kids to play with. It's so thoughtfully designed with families in mind and such a fun place to hang out! I also really appreciate that they have an allergen menu. It makes it so much easier to order safely.

The…read moreoutside area is huge and had plenty of seating (there is no indoor seating but plenty of seating in the shade). We did the 4 meat and 4 sides family meal + two banh mi and pudding. There's plenty of selection, certain meats do have an upcharge (it's stated on the menu). The brisket was tender & juicy, the banh mi was full of umami flavors (only available on weekdays right now), the Mac n cheese was smooth and had a wonderful cheesy taste, sorta like velveta. The Wagyu tri tip was good and melted like butter in your mouth. The sausage was a star for us, it had an amazing umami and peppery flavor, it was the first meat to disappear. The sesame slaw was nutty and helped break through the fat of your bbq, giving you a nice crunch and fresh bite. The tallow fries were perfectly crisp. There's two bbq sauces, a house special which tastes like a light bbq sauce with a hint of sweetness and then there's a gochujang bbq sauce that's tangy and brings some nice acidity. The Pandana Pudding is sweet but not too sweet, no lack of Pandan flavoring and the pudding part is smooth. Although the porks ribs were tender and with one slight tug the meat came off easily, we felt it lacked flavor. The dry rub they use seemed to be a light spreading, perhaps it was just the batch. Would try again to see. Parking is terrible, it is true what reviews say on here. They have a very small lot (12-14 spaces) and then past that you street park. If you go here on a weekend, good luck. They're working with what they have but the location being in a neighborhood makes it difficult. Weekday visit would be much better or have someone run in to grab to go while they drive around outside.

Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol.

Today they were also out of nacho cheese but I'm not sure what that goes on? There's a dry erase board when you come in that tells you what's sold out. It's fun to chat with the other guests about what they came for and what they settled for. We always get it To Go now although they do have tables available.

Last summer, we ate at the famous Franklin BBQ in Austin, TX. This was comparable. We ordered the Beef Brisket, Pork Spare Ribs, and Pork Butt-Pulled Pork. We added a side of Smoked Sweet Corn and Smoked Mac & Cheese. Our order included a mini side of Slaw, Rolls, Pickles, and BBQ Sauce. The meat was very delicious and tender, and fell off the bone. The sides were also so very good!! They have a great set up: deli counter at the back of the Minute King Market & Deli. Staff is super nice and helpful. They open only on Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. Staff said a lot of the sides and specials are likely to sell out by noon or 1 p.m. but it just depends on the turn out. There was no one waiting when we arrived around 11 a.m. We also grabbed a couple of Angry Orchard hard ciders to pair with our barbecue. Next time, I'll try the poultry (turkey and chicken).
