The best ribs you can find this side of the Mississippi River highly recommend it! The baked beans are delicious. The cornbread incredible they offered magnificent plethora of sauces... I am a bit of a food snob and very particular all I can say is should you be coming through Redmond? You will be missing out if you don't enjoy all these ribs baked beans cornbread basically everything on the menu. Enjoy.!! read more

Dinner here was good. The sides and pulled chicken sandwich was delicious. The fried okra and smothered fries were excellent. The disappointment was that the brisket was fatty so our friends didn't enjoy their meal as much. Our waiter was great too. I was not thrilled about the woman working at the bar, etc. with her mask under her nose the entire time we were there. That said, we will go back again for sure. read more

O.M.G DELICIOUS $$ Why are they not in CA?!? The thought of Baldy's makes my stomach grumble and mouth water. Serious. My husband and I ordered a three meat combo and shared it: pulled pork, beef brisket, pulled chicken. I picked the side of coleslaw. ALL the meats were delicious and nothing was left to take home. I was actually craving food from this place a week --even for breakfast-- after we left. Their sauce is not super hot and compliments the smoked meats. The fries are really good, crispy and not wimpy. read more

Baldys BBQ - 3-meat combo: pulled pork, beef brisket, pulled chicken w/jalapeno corn bread and coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

Servers were very nice and accommodating. The food was not good in my opinion. The corn on the cob had an odd texture, maybe overcooked then microwaved but was cold when we received it. The pulled pork was also semi cold and did not taste fresh. The corn bread was a bit dry. Not a great experience. read more

Great fast service and comfortable atmosphere. The food was very good, generous portions. read more

Baldys BBQ - Brisket platter - Barbeque Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

We go into Baldy's here in Bend to try it out and ask to get an order to go (restaurant is almost completely empty), the front hostess Erin had an attitude and was saying things under her breath. Then the older blonde lady with septum told us "the owner is a dick!" Opened our food and the sauces are spilt everywhere and my burnt food was thrown into a to go container with some sauce on it. I am a restaurant manager and if people are coming in to spend money on food at your restaurant, you need to make them want to come back, not lose them and future customers. read more

Baldys BBQ - Fat and more fat even though I ordered LEAN brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

Disgusting!! how do you miss bbq?? ribs were nasty, hardly any meat. the pulled pork was nasty also, even the sauce was store brought

So disappointing! Was it because it was Sunday night and the meat was cooked Friday? Dry tasteless cornbread, DRY 1/2 chicken that may have been undercooked.Beans were meh so-so. Worst of all we're the $8 onion rings. Minimally dipped, slimy, greasy and just shitty. I tried to crisp them up in the air fryer but that didn't help. We won't order again. read more

Just a month ago I was at one of the Baldys in Bend. I found myself in Redmond for work and took three of my coworkers there. Great food, as always. Service was wonderful and the entire staff was very accommodating read more

We are a long time Baldys Redmond customer. We did take out on a weekly basis during COVID to help them stay busy. However, I cannot say how disappointed I am in their service recently. We went with friends for dinner2 weeks ago. We were seated with beverages and then told we couldn't order and food for 45 minutes due to all the takeout orders they had....SERIOUSLY??? Mind you the restuarant was busy and others were Having to wait as well. When it was nearing 40 minutes we asked if we could order, and told no, another 30 minutes. We paid for our beverages and left. I totally get that there is a shortage in staffing, etc and try to be extra patient with slowness in ordering, etc. I think telling us up front would have been appropriate. And serve your dine in customers first. We will not be back. Very disappointed. read more

The only reason I'm giving it a 2 is because the food was good! The service however, absolutely terrible. The staff seemed to care more about laughing and joking with eachother than the customers in their establishment. We went our entire meal without our waitress checking on us. We had no drinks, she didn't bring us extra plates as requested for the appetizers we ordered so we all just sorta picked at one plate with our fingers. I finally had to flag her down to request our check because we wanted to get out of there so bad. Such a bummer. read more

One of our favorite restaurants in the state of Oregon. We always stop here and get the Extravaganza. We share and take home the rest. So good and all the meat is deliciously tender while their sauce is excellent. Love coming here, but we don't get out this way often enough! read more

Baldys BBQ - Pre dinner rush quietude - Barbeque Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

I celebrated my 85 fifth Bday with a group of 20 family members and we ordered the Combo 2 package. It could NOT have been better. These folk pay attention to their customers and produce OUTSTANDING results. I cannot recommend them more highly!!! read more

Service was quick and polite but the positives basically end there. Flavor was alright but the portion was significantly underwhelming. The "full rack" quite possibly could set a record for the smallest "full rack" known to man. For $20 this simply wasn't worth it. Proper ribs, especially smoked, take a long time. So it's completely understandable these were clearly cooked in advance and reheated... what's not ok is the dry small portioned meat provided. Spend your $20 on some McRibs or jerky and you will be just as, if not more, satisfied. The fries and au gratin potatoes I got as sides were par for this mediocre course. Although, comfortably consistent in small portion and average flavor, they are also not something I'd suggest. read more

Baldys BBQ - Full Rack of ribs ... about the size of your hand - Barbeque Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

So we have been going to baldys for a number of years now and I've always enjoyed it. This evening was a little different. I got their macaroni and cheese and after about five bites, found a little curly cue of metal in the macaroni and cheese. Reported it to the waitress told her that I wasn't going to finish it and I would like to not have to pay for it. She said she would go talk to her manager. I waited. She finally came back and then without saying anything without seeing the manager or an apology of what so ever. I paid for the remaining portion of the meal and left. Worst experience in a long time. read more

I decided give this place one more chance because there bbq is pretty decent for central Oregon. It's no southern bbq but it will do. Tonight I needed dinner for several people so I ordered their extravaganza! They give you quite a bit of meat and all the different types. What made me furious was the sides. It's says it's supposed to be for 3-4 people. The sides each one was only enough for one person. One serving of salad, only 2 slices of corn bread, a very small container of both mashed potatoes and baked beans. We have a ton of meat left and not one side. read more

It's just okay. Seems like there is a ton of sugar in the beans . I get a stomach ache every time I eat here. Not sure why.

I would love to be able to leave a review on the food, but after waiting 45 minutes never received our order. The server when asked was extremely unprofessional and flippant and responded with" well burgers do take longer to cook" I finally was able to ask a another server who went to check for us and was told that the order was never entered. But hey as we were told by our original server " I'm busy, I have a lot to do" Pathetic that it's ok to say you don't care about your customers and your above just saying I'm sorry how can I make this right? No thank you, I don't support businesses that don't care. Plenty of others do, so money and time better spent elsewhere. After all, they're busy and have a lot to do. read more

The 3 of us shared the Extravaganza. The meat was yummy and all the sides were delicious. 2 of us had the Sinister Black beer and 1 had a Mexican inspired mixed drink, I think called South of the Border? All drinks were fabulous!! My only complaint is the restrooms need to have a diaper changing wall table. We weren't the only people with a diapered child in the restaurant. They even sell Baldy's baby onesies so please get a changing station! read more

I wish there were good BBQ places here in Central Oregon, but I have yet to find them. I've had Baldys BBQ on different occasions at each of their locations between Bend and Redmond. Each time it wasn't my choice on going. I really like the atmosphere and the staff at the Redmond location were really nice, but with the dryness of the ribs and the lack of flavor in the mac n cheese, I have to give this place 3 stars. I really hope to go here next time a friend or colleague wants to go and to be able to change this review. read more

Super cool vibe and reasonable prices. Smoked chicken wings were delicious, brisket was moist and smoky, the ribs tasted like dirty smoke with not much meat on them, the chili was delicious, the cornbread was nothing special and kind of salty, the drinks were fabulously made, and the baked beans were delicious. read more

Stopped in for a quick late lunch. Waitress brought samples of the porter and cider on tap. So tasty we ordered 1 of each. We had the half pork half beef open face sandwich on garlic toast, up grade to sweet potato fries. $2 add worth it. Grilled burger on garlic toast w garlic mashed potatoes. Smoked Meat portions were generous. 2 flavors of tasty BBQ sauce on the table. Sauce was not overly sweet. Spicy has a Tabasco taste. Could have split that sandwich & fries to leave room for cherry cobbler. But alas, kept eating until there was no room for dessert. Still had enough pulled pork & beef brisket left to take home for another meal. Service was attentive and cheery. Customers were smiling & happy with food and service. Will try Baldy's again when passing through Redmond. They have other locations. read more

I think it used to be better. The owners super cool but I think all restaurants have taken a hit since COVID. Portion sizes have decreased, especially take out. Wait times can be a little long but I feel like it's worth the wait. The food is very tasty and there sauces are all really legit. Overall Baldys is worth trying. read more

I ordered ahead for takeout and they were on time for the pickup. The food was delicious and also a great value for the price. We got a few things for a group of us and everyone loved it. read more

My daughter is a student at COCC and was living in the dorms which were closed because of the C-word. We packed up all her stuff and headed back home but stopped at Baldy's for dinner. We ordered by phone just outside the place, enjoyed the chairs they sat out. Took the food to our truck with a sofa in the bed, cracked out the grub and it was as good as it ever has been. So glad we went. My wife, who decided not to help my daughter move, was envious of our stop here. Looking forward to coming again and finally getting the prime rib dinner I was hoping to have a couple of days after the state closed down dine-in eating. read more

Dear So-Cal (Tasha) Thank you for turning my bday dinner around! We came across this place my chance when our original dinners plans (that came highly recommended) did not turn out as we liked. We came in late and So-Cal was bubbly and happy the whole time! We never felt rushed and felt was quickly taken care of from start to finish. My daughter insisted I write this tonight... or else! Lol. The food was amazing! I would highly recommend eating here again and again :) read more

Baldys BBQ - 2 thumbs way up! - Barbeque Near Me - Redmond, Oregon

I might be biased because I lived in North Carolina for a while, and have had great BBQ all through the south east, but I was very underwhelmed. Pulled pork was soggy, and the other smoked meats were pretty lackluster. The cornbread was good but the other sides were mediocre at best. I didn't try any ribs so I can't speak to that. Ultimately, I still left full and it was still BBQ so I didn't hate it, but if you're expecting amazing BBQ and you're a little picky, don't get your hopes up. read more

Cool building and landscape which, I know, doesn't necessarily reflect on the taste of their food but it had to be said. The food, though, was great! We had the brisket and the chicken, both delicious! You need to go to here. read more

My wife and I are biannual visitors to the Redmond area and have, once in the past, enjoyed the barbeque options that Baldys had to offer. We were not necessarily wowed by the experience, but good-enough barbeque is still barbeque. They were a small concern in a shopping center strip mall (in the Fred Meyer parking lot) a few years back but have since moved to a better location on 6th St. in Redmond. I am not sure what happened in the transition, but it ain't good. We decided to eat there today (08/13/2023) on our way back from Smith Rock. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who took our order in a very timely and respectful manner. I anxiously awaited a Brisket Plate. I should have sent it back to the kitchen as soon as I saw that my and my wife's brisket plate was drenched in barbeque sauce. This is a telltale move that the brisket is dry (and I am not talking about the lean/wet brisket paradigm) and needs to be disguised....and it was DRY. I realize that there is a range of what people consider to be acceptable brisket, and this was not on that scale at all. My whole family got sides of the jalapeño honey cornbread, and it was pretty clear (based on the chewiness) that it was old and had been microwaved. The macaroni and cheese was pretty good and had a nice toasted bread-crumb topping. We never were approached for refills on drinks (until we got our check) or to ask about our meal. I didn't complain at the restaurant as there really is nothing to be done about bad brisket unless you are willing to wait 12 hours (or as was likely the case here, much less at too high a temperature). Also, the barbeque sauce was so Worcester sauce heavy that it tasted like something that Lea & Perrins made themselves. I know that this is a family-owned chain, and I would love to see them succeed, so I hope they fix it. read more

Another AWESOME visit, everything was perfect. BEST BURGERS IN CENTRAL OREGON! Many thanks to the owner and the staff here at the Redmond location. Every visit has been an absolute joy! These pictures really do speak for themselves!! read more

This is probably my favorite Bbq around Ribs are perfect balance of so tender and still has the right amount of chew off the bone The sauce is best I have had and I need to find the recipe for my own use at home Or just buy some of theirs to go. Smoked wings were fantastic flavor and ordered dry so they would be crispy and dipped my own combo of super hot sauce and bbq. So it would not be complete without trying their brisket plate and I was so excited to see and taste the fantastic bark, seasoned and plenty of it, as a complement to the tender slices of the brisket, can literally cut with a plastic fork Add great fries and super friendly staff, I will be back every time I drive through Redmond (hopefully to hear the bands play sometime) or at one of their other locations. 5 stars all the way! read more

Tonight was a bummer. Usually we eat in Bend; this was our first visit to Baldys Redmond. We ordered online and since it didn't give an estimate on when it would be ready we called to ask before submitting. We were told 20 minutes. We placed our online order and it then told us our order would be ready in 45 minutes. (???) About 10 mins later I got an email saying there might be a problem with our order, that the restaurant hadn't "accepted" it, and I needed to call. So, I called, only to be told by a clearly unhappy hostess that my order was fine and she didn't know why I was calling. Okay, not off to a great start. We arrive at the 45 minute mark when the online system told us it would be ready, and then had to wait another 25 minutes for our food. So that 20 minute estimate turned out to be over an hour. Then we got our food home. We only live a few minutes away but the onion rings and fries were cold and mushy. It seemed like they maybe were done ahead of everything else and were left to just steam in their containers. We ordered the Extravaganza, ribs, and 6 sides. We weren't given any sauces, not one. We paid extra for extra croutons in our Caesar and literally had TWO croutons in the entire salad. And our cornbread was missing. I do give them two stars because other than the au gratin potatoes, everything else we ordered was delicious. Meats were tasty, baked beans excellent, our son loved the chicken strips, and - while cold and soggy - the flavor of the onion rings was good. But likely won't visit this location again. read more

I went here for my extended 62nd birthday because I can. We drove from Portland to spend a few days in the Redmond area and my wife let me pick the restaurant. This restaurant for me is the cat's meow,i have the FULL rack of ribs, my wife has the ribeye open faced sandwich which is so tender with smoothed sauted onions and mushrooms and son has a most amazing burger, did I say they have the best portions and then we share the bread pudding OMG we are revisiting heaven. I bought some of their Spicy BBQ to take home so hopefully I can relive Baldy's from home. As as service goes, everyone seems to have a happy service smile and we felt very welcomed by Jenny this trip, she is so attentive. If you have a bad experience here you might want to look in the mirror. I look forward to my next visit with an open palette. Thanks Mike Rowland read more

Brisket was okay with the exception of the sauce that it was cooked with . I didn't care for the sauces they had on the table. The ribs were a bit dry. I didn't think corn could be cooked bad. I was wrong. It was tasteless and soggy. read more

We had an exceptional meal and Sierra was a big part of it. The food was fantastic as always for the last ten years. Thank you Brian for the gift of consistent quality in all of your locations. read more

Good food, awful service! Roasted chicken was way over cooked and dried out. Pork sandwich was good. Brisket was tasty. Mac and cheese was good but needed salt. read more

We did takeout Sunday night and our meal was delicious! We tried their ribs and beef brisket. Very generous portions and the BBQ flavor was amazing. We also enjoyed the sides we chose which included their coleslaw, jalpeno cornbread, baked beans and macaroni and cheese. We will definitely go back for more BBQ another time! read more

Was on the road and looking for a BBQ joint. Not much to choose from in this area! After a few failed attempts -- closed, too far, etc. -- we came to Baldy's. It's easy to find, in the Fred Meyer shopping center. Hint, it's in the section that shoots off away from Freddies. AND, they're open until 9pm, even on Sundays. Woohoo! Four hungry travelers ordered pulled pork plates and a Ceasar salad with pulled chicken. The food took much longer than we expected, as the place was pretty empty and the meat is "slow cooked" so one would assume it's already cooked. But we enjoyed each other's company and weren't bothered. The corn bread that came with the pulled pork plate was divine! Fluffy, sweet, moist. The baked beans, too, were really good. I thought the pork was the least exciting. A bit bland and sweet. Everything on the plate is already sweet so I would have liked more salty/savory flavor for the pork. The salad was good, fresh and with a great dressing and crisp croutons. Again, weirdly, the meat was the least tasty part. It was very juicy and a nice mix of white and dark but a little flavorless. Portions are good sized, and none of us completely finished. My boyfriend asked for a modified plate (extra beans, no mashed potatoes) and got it. So that's always good! There's a cute little bar in the restaurant, and I think it'd be a fun place to come for a drink. The decor is adorable and Western themed, definitely visually entertaining. read more
