    Cheddar sausage recommended by the team. Did not disappoint
    Amber R.

    I was pleasantly surprised over this place, as it is not your typical BBQ. The service is affordable and efficient with the same elements as Chipotle / Cava. You customize your plate via a super friendly / approachable assembly line where the servers have a passion for their food and great suggestions, and you can proceed to the variety of house-made sauces and familiar drinks. One thing that stood out to me is the bar - that seems cool! They have a little happy hour set up too. My friend ran into his former principal there, who gushed about the place. You will definitely run into your hometown friends here and have a great time licking your fingers!

    I came here with my mom after an appointment nearby. We shared a station tray that has 2 sides, a roll, pickled red onions, and pickles with 1/3 lb of meat. We chose brisket and I had added sliced house sausage, pork ribs, with tangy slaw and their original slaw to compare. Also got small sides of their Southern rice, mashed potatoes, and mushrooms. My favorite was the mashed potatoes and original slaw. The purple slaw was too vinegary, the Southern rice was hard. The brisket was moist, and the sausage had a good snap. Pork ribs were tender. They have 4 types of sauces that went well with most things. The place has a large, clean seating area with a good amount of parking.

    After sometime being opened, I finally pulled the trigger and visited The BBQ Station. My sister and I and my son arrived right as they were opening this day. I had heard so many different things, conflicting stories. Some of them were they said the food was good but too pricey. And as mentioned after sometime, I thought I'd give it a shot and decide for myself. I ordered the station tray, with, beef brisket and two sides. The mushrooms were off the charts good as were the green beans. The brisket was melt in your mouth good. My sister got a pulled pork and she couldn't stop raving about it. My son got the brisket with mac & cheese and baked beans, his go to is at most barbecue spots. Not only was the food off the charts, good but dollar for a dollar they give you more than a fair share. Service... I couldn't imagine being any better. Cleanliness... Off the charts. I'll be back again with the wife and whoever else would like to tagalong. Until then, keep doing what you do BBQ Station,serving up the best barbecue I've had locally.

    My husband has always wanted try this place, but for some reason I was hesitant. I finally gave in and I'm glad I did! The restaurant was nice, clean and very spacious, the staff members were really nice and helpful, and the food was amazing! We got the beef ribs, pulled pork, brisket, salad and mac n cheese. I gotta say, the Mac n cheese is really good and not grainy like many places. For the beef ribs, it basically fell off the bone! Everything just melted in your mouth. I was surprised by how delicate the croutons were too! It was like airy and crunchy at the same time. The habanero sauce was also sooo good and had good heat to it. We would definitely come back!

    No need to go to Texas for briskets and bbq!!! What a hidden gem bbq spot. This place tastes as good as the best bbq place in texas. I was chatting with Nico, not sure if he's just an employee, manager, or owner, but I told him I went to Dallas couple months ago. I've been to Terry Black and Pecan Lodge, two of the best bbq in Dallas in my opinion. Also Nico offered me to try literally almost all the items for sample, including the meat. Nico was super nice and friendly, really enthusiastic about this business. BBQ Station in glendora is similar to the ones in Texas. I got their combo set, comes with 1/3 lb of meat, 2 sides, bread, and pickled vegetables. Otherwise you have to order the meat in half-pound increments and the sides individually which may cost a lot. I would love to see another combo set where we can select two meats instead of one. I would have gotten sausage in addition to the brisket. Food here is delicious in every way, just like Texas. They have sauces at a table near the soda fountain. I got the mushroom and bbq beans. Bbq beans were heavy and filling. The mushrooms were super large portion, maybe I would try the green beans (?) next time. BBQ Station smokes their meat using various types of wood, in a separate building behind the restaurant. Would highly recommend here for Texas style briskets. No need to go to Texas when this location tastes as good as the best bbq in Texas.

    I almost wanted to keep this place to myself! The meat was melt in your mouth fall off the bone delicious! No sauces needed but if coarse you could add your own. The service was just was good. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a big welcome and immediately asked if I needed help and if I would like to try anything or all of it. It's an order at the counter and wait for your food before you sit down place. TVs on the wall and light music in the background. Best BBQ I've had in So Cal so far.

    4.5 stars February 1, 2026 The only reason 4.5 stars is because I prefer actual tableservice. I don't like to order at the counter and then pick up the food. By the time you pick up your self serve stuff, eating utensils, napkins, barbecue sauce, drinks, condiments, etc, your food is already starting to get cold. Other than that this place is great. This place hasn't been open all that long maybe 14 or 15 months at most. I've always driven by it, but never stopped in for whatever reason. Today at the recommendation of some friends who recently discovered it. They suggested we try it and so my wife and I came for lunch this afternoon. We are really glad that we did because this place is the real deal for barbecue. Yes. The real deal. They even gave us a little mini tour of a separate building behind the restaurant where they have all of the smokers/cookers. They are huge and there are several of them. I don't think I've ever had such amazing tasting brisket. I mean we're talking it melts in your mouth. And another thing that makes me very happy....they have coleslaw that is oil and vinegar based as an option. I love it. I don't ever eat coleslaw made with mayonnaise. Mayonnaise is DISGUSTING! Not many places have coleslaw that is oil and vinegar based. It was excellent. Anyway, this is a great place. This is where you want to come if you want real barbecue not pretend barbecue. My wife and I will for sure be coming back. Oh, and they have several craft beer on tap options too! it was great! We had a couple of mango cart beers. PS. I remember when this building was originally a Bob's big boy. Many many years ago in fact, it was probably built as a Bob's big boy restaurant in the 1970's. My photos below.....

    We can't get enough of this place. BBQ is very good in terms of quality, service and overall feel. The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable obliging. We've tried a lot of the menu and tonight we tried the deserts and now we're like wow this place is simply the best! We need Glendora to realize how good we have it to have a BBQ place locally. I traveled to Texas and Georgia and I have to say the quality here makes me feel like it's indifferent. They use top quality meat and the smokehouse is so impressive. The ambience is great with Texas music + country. You wouldn't think you're in Los Angeles County. Great family business

    Dino rib $46 (smaller rib) lol
    Rosemary P.

    The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the cafeteria-style ordering. For the price point, I would have preferred a full sit-down restaurant experience. That said, the food was excellent--honestly better than I expected after waiting almost a year post-grand opening to finally try it. Now that the lines have died down, the reviews improved, and their hours have changed, we decided to give it a shot for dinner. I ordered the Dino rib ($46 by itself). Was it worth it? YES. The meat was melt-off-the-bone juicy and absolutely delicious! I tried all four BBQ sauces, and the 66 was definitely my favorite. We also got a small mac and cheese, a brisket plate (came with four slices and two sides--we chose mushrooms, which were amazing, and ACV coleslaw), plus a side of green beans. The green beans were good, but next time I'd try a different side. Our total came to $93 including three fountain drinks, and the meals also came with complimentary butter and buns. The staff was great, the ambiance and cleanliness were spot-on, and the country music fit the BBQ vibe perfectly. Would we go back? Absolutely! Everything we tried was awesome--highly recommend checking it out.

    Amazing bbq. Amazing friendly service. Amazing happy hour! What more do you need? Long story: Came for the wife's birthday on Saturday Friday afternoon,hoping for good bbq. What we got was friendly service and amazing food. Walked in to friendly staff and a short tight menu. We ordered the pulled pork and bbq brisket as our mains. Ones of the slaws, bbq beans and mac n cheese. All sides were rich and flavorful. They asked if we were out for an occasion and I mentioned my wife's birthday, she was given a free dessert! She choose the bread pudding, sweet and delicious. Which made me want a corn bread muffin which they was awesome with butter and honey. Can't remember a place where I was more pleasantly surprised that I had to write a review. Also 4$ happy hour from 2-6 is insane. Insane!

    My boyfriend and I were in Glendora running errands and BBQ Station looked like a good option for dinner. We were able to easily spot them off Route 66 and there was ample parking in their private lot. In the back, you can see their barbecue pit, and the restaurant is to the front. There is spacious patio parking in the front and plenty of booths and tables and even a bar area in the inside of their restaurant. Staff was really nice and welcoming with their suggestions. I really like the gentleman who was at the front helping us with the sides. Per his recommendation we got the Station Tray ($20) that comes with your choice of meat 1/3 lb which we opted for brisket, 2 5 oz individual sides which we opted for mac & cheese and mushrooms, pickles, slider roll. We also added a small 8oz side of Mashed Potatoes ($7). We also got 4 pieces of Pork Ribs ($34 per lb) and 4 pieces came out to be 1.03 lbs ($35.02) and a piece of House Sausage ($28 per lb) which was 0.32 lbs ($8.96). Definitely needed something sweet to wash down all this savory food so we also got a Fountain Drink ($3). The photo of my spread basically cost $100 including tax and tip. Ouch. The sauces, utensils and napkins are all self serve. You can grab sharing plates and togo boxes yourself too. Brisket is one of our go-to cuts of meat when trying a new bbq spot. The first piece I ate was incredible dry... but the second piece was nice and fatty, which I preferred. Same with the ribs. One piece of rib was super dry and one piece of rib was juicy and tender. The sausage was average, no strong feelings there. The mac and cheese and mushroom were average. My favorite item here was the mashed potatoes with the gravy. Since we were able to sample that I liked it so much I ordered that separate 8 oz portion. Yum. Definitely mixed feelings with some pieces better than others. While evaluating between a 3 vs a 4 star I'm ultimately going with a 3 stars because I wouldn't come back. The satisfaction to cost ratio just doesn't pan out for me.

    The meat on the dino rib, delish and juicy!! The rib was huuuuge IRL, picture doesn't do it justice.

    I finally answered the smoky siren call of the BBQ Station, and y'all... it delivered!!! This is Texas-style BBQ, meaning you pay by the pound and try not to cry when you realize how much meat you just ordered like a hungry linebacker. Naturally, I went full carnivore and ordered the dino rib (because how could I not order something that sounds like it comes with its own Jurassic Park soundtrack?) and some brisket... because I'm not a monster. The brisket basically melted in my mouth like it was trying to flirt with me. And that dino rib? So juicy and fall-off-the-bone that I'm convinced it was cooked by angels with cowboy hats!! There were four sauces to choose from, which felt like a tangy personality quiz. The kids were into the mild-mannered Station Sauce, while I took a shine to the Sweet 66... a sweet and spicy number that said, "Hey, I'm BBQ sauce, but I've got moxie." Side quests included mac 'n cheese and seasoned rice... kid-approved, and honestly not bad even by adult foodie snob standards. We finished it all off with peach cobbler and banana pudding, both of which slapped so hard I briefly considered hugging the dessert case. Bonus points: the place was clean, friendly, and full of parking (aka BBQ trifecta). Big shoutout to Aaron, who checked on us like a Southern grandma and even offered to take our trash. Five stars just for Aaron's vibe!!! Thank you for the hospitality!! Prices? Yeah, it's a little $$$, but when the meat makes you emotional and the banana pudding gives you spiritual clarity... you don't question the cost. I'll be back, fork in hand and napkin cape on!!

    I have never been here. I keep passing it but never came in, til today. I was impressed with the decor and the atmosphere. Very inviting. There was plenty of seating, whether at a booth, the outdoor benches or the single indoor window seats . With the country music playing and the bbq scent in the air I was even more anxious for a bbq lunch. The crew greeted me as I entered and immediately offered me a sample taste of brisket. The food was excellent! Beef brisket sandwich with mashed potatoes. Both were loaded with flavor! I was not disappointed. With today's prices (I still compare menu prices to pre-covid), I was satisfied with the portions. I did not leave hungry. I look forward to my next visit.

    Brisket, queso, mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, roll, pickled onions, pickles

    See all

    Do they serve alcohol?

    Yes, however, they only serve wine & beer!

    Does this place serve alcohol?

    Yes! Wine, beer, and some mixed drinks.

    Are the sausages good? Are they pork or beef?

    They were average. I believe they were pork. I have had better store bought sausage. The sausage from Claro's Italian Market is hands down better.

Large, fluctuating parties aren't easy, especially with a wait, but she kept us informed, comfortable, and never made us feel like a burden.

A big pile of food, and that's a full 1/2 sheet tray! It set us back $112 including 2 fountain sodas (they have fancy custom fountain sodas), tax and a small tip. A lot of food (2 lbs of meat) and we took a good amount home with us. It wasn't busy, we were the 2nd table seated, and another 2-top arrived later, so there were only 3 parties in the restaurant, which isn't huge. Seemed like 1/2 of business was take-out, they are right across the street from courthouse, and next to a Bail Bonds place.

I'm not sure if it's offered all the time but I saw it once on the special board and had it and it was fantastic. I know they offer it with different types of meats, but I absolutely love salmon on Caesar salads, and this is one of the best that I've had. The stubborn mule is a relatively large place on the inside, uh great place for people to hang out and they have a full bar. I usually order the Allagash ale and my wife usually gets vodka and soda water. The service is always great, they are friendly and if they do not know every ingredient, they will ask the cook instead of guessing--excellent. Sometimes there's a little wait. The ambience is great; again, small town feel but larger restaurant. Nice vibe with soft lighting. The only thing I wish I could have done was take a picture of it, because my following description probably won't do it justice. It has romaine lettuce homemade croutons parmesan cheese and house made dressing I believe the dressing has white anchovies in it which is how you make a great Caesar salad dressing. If you're a salad person, order this. Again, unfortunately, I can't remember if that is a staple on their menu or if it happened to be one of their specials. They have daily specials in the restaurant and many of them are excellent but only served that day. While you're there, have an Allagash ale they pair well together.

Our server took over 10 minutes just to greet us, and the wait for our food was even worse.

Once the food finally arrived, the server never checked on us again. We had to flag someone down ourselves just to get the check. I didn't catch her name because she barely introduced herself in the first place. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place on a Saturday afternoon. The service was awful, the staff seemed uninterested, and the food definitely wasn't worth the price.
