Finally tried this place on Father's Day and it exceeded expectations! Walking in, there was already a line at opening but it went by quickly and we got our food really quick as well. We got the Smoked Meat Sampler Pack for 12 so we got to try a lot of different meats and sides - it was great and highly recommend for big parties. The brisket was delicious. We typically don't get turkey but it came with the sampler and it was so good. We will be ordering the turkey again - so much texture, flavor, so juicy. Highly recommend - I feel like we just found a hidden gem in Glendora. read more

Read other reviews crying about the hometown feel of the resturant. Not posh enough for them. This is a TEXAS BBQ joint..! Family style! Not white table cloth with e personal assistant. The price? Yes, it isn't cheap. BUT YOU smoke a brisket for 12hrs if you want to save a buck! And it won't come out as good! Overall, the food is fantastic as are the sides. This is exactly the kind of simple family style BBQ joint in Texas. 5 Stars... read more

BBQ Station - Barbeque Near Me - Glendora, California

Friendly staff. Love that I got to try the meat and sides before purchasing. All the sides are super tasty, and the brisket was very well seasoned. Will be back! read more

BBQ Station specializes in ( central) Texas BBQ using white oak. The brisket is cooked without any wrapping to create a perfect char ( bark) . As I was there during lunch I had the brisket sandwich. Numerous sides available including salad. I chose the Macaroni and cheese as well as the corn. I could choose traditional or spicy slaw and could have it on the sandwich or as a side. I did the side but would probably choose to have it on the sandwich in the future. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.. the restaurant is clean with a beer and wine station, self service sodas as well as salsa and sauce bar . There was a small display of baked goods. I was too full to try. The building retains much of its original design from its run as Bobs Big Boy. I recommend and will try again to sample the ribs! read more

Excellent. Staff walked me through. Order sides, then meats and finally brew. Beans, greens and Mac all good good here. Brisket was moist and just enuf smoke. Claremont baldy cut through richness. Hard to find good bbq in SoCal. read more

Delicious barbecue, meat cooked to perfection! Friendly staff. Great happy hour prices. Love this place!

Yes. That's it. The review. Brisket- buttery, tender, and delicious. Beef rib- tender tender tender and the bark was so tasty. Mac & cheese Banana pudding and peach cobbler Service was fast and friendly. Everyone was quick to explain how things were available & give recommendations. We got a station tray which was 1/3lb of meat and two sides. The beef rib was too hearty to apply to this deal. The restaurant is clean and bright with plenty of tvs to watch the game. There is also outdoor seating if that's more your jam. Drive round back if you get a chance and check out all their smokers. Super cool! We'll definitely be back. read more

Been here a few times now. I am a big fan of the brisket. Sandwich or platter. Sides are all very good. Banana pudding is chef's kiss to complete the meal. Only problem with this restaurant is that they are closed too many days. read more

Good was amazing! I am allergic to pork, and they pulled out a new brisket, cut it on a different cutting board, and used a new knife. The food was amazing, and so was the staff! Totally recommend. read more

After all this time.... we all waited. We all anticipated. We watched the space... Then the doors opened, finally. We walked in, and there wasn't much signage or direction as to the order process. Yes, it's "cafeteria style" Yes, it's overpriced. I was hoping to smell the brisket q'ing up, but nope. I mean, even going to Wood Ranch, you smell the Q, and you salivate and start dreaming of your plate of food. That should have been our first red flag. But, after all this time & and anticipation, We had to try it. The brisket was decent, but as everyone said pricey. Fatty, I expected a heavy pink smoke ring, too. The sides... Mac N Cheese Mushrooms Potato Salad Pickled Onions Tortillas The sides were decent, but I'm not sure their pricing makes up for the quality or flavor or lack of. The service was great, I feel like the seating could use some improvements. We ended up at the window bar stools. This was opening day, and I hope that by now, they have things dialed in, but judging by the reviews as of recently, it seems to be a collective opinion and I hope they're taking notes and paying attention to their customers. Spirit of Texas will be opening up soon in Covina, so they'll need to prepare for some delicious competition. Please do better BBQ Station. read more

What an unusual experience. They have signs with prices for a 1/2 pound of beef ribs... yet the person at the register says you have to pay for a pound. The beef ribs have a huge bone with a skimpy portion of beef on it. My brother has less beef and a lot of fat on both. The prices were super high for what you get. Small little dish of bbq beans $7 Same with mashed potatoes $7. Corn on the cob is $7 and you have to get two. Bring your wallet with mucho dinero. $145. for this. Plastic knives and forks. Service was good. read more

Excellent! Nice location in Glendora with plenty of parking. Good size restaurant. You enter and make line to order your food. The food choices are good with plenty of meats and even salmon. Also plenty of sides to choose from. I went with a group so I was able to try different things. We tried the salmon, sausage and beef brisket. For sides we had Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes and gravy, mushrooms, queso and ships, beans and the veggies. Highly recommend 10/10. read more

Nice place with great bbq. We ordered the family meal and it was more than enough. We were a party of 7. Couldn't finish it all. Great beer on tap..must try the Guinness on tap! Service is good, restaurant is clean. Total meat lovers place! read more

This was my family's first time dining here (3 adults and 2 kids), and we had such a great experience! We were a little confused at first about how the ordering process worked, but the staff was incredibly friendly and patient. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made us feel comfortable right away. The food came out hot and absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and even the kids cleaned their plates -- which says a lot! One of our favorite parts was being able to go to the section where you choose your own sides. It was great being able to pick exactly what we wanted to go with our meals. Overall, we were very pleased with this restaurant and will definitely be back. Such a welcoming atmosphere and a great first impression for our family! read more

Excellent barbeque! We had the brisket and the dino ribs. The meat was so tender, juicy and full of flavor. We had the side of mash potatoes and gravy, and mixed vegetables. The mash potatoes were very good, but the mixed veggies were okay. Excellent customer service. Staff was super friendly and provided us some samples. The banana pudding is a must get to cleanse your pallet. I will definitely come back here in the near future to try their other food items. read more

Great service! Food was delicious! I brought my brother for the first time and he loved it. Will be coming back, best brisket on town :) Also the Banana Pudding is a MUST have! read more

The brisket is off the hook delicious. First time I'm here and wasn't expecting a cafeteria type experience but the girls behind the counter were very quick to explain the set up. The bbq is really good. Portions are huge. Definitely heading back. read more

Had the Dino Ribs they were very meaty and super juicy but flavor was mid. BBQ sauces were just ok. Mushrooms were fantastic. Prices were out of control even for BBQ. read more

Y'all, this is the best BBQ we found in LA and we've lived and traveled around in the south for years! We ordered the brisket and pulled pork platters. The meats were smoked perfectly and so tender! The sides, green beans, baked beans and Mac n cheese, you can't go wrong with any of them. Price is reasonable, ample seating for big parties and so clean! Even though it's not full service, the owner said to just leave the trays on the table as they'd clean up. He even offered a tour to the smoke house in the back, which looked impressive. The entire crew was friendly and helpful. Definitely worth trying and coming back! read more

BBQ Station - Tender Brisket and pulled pork platters! - Barbeque Near Me - Glendora, California

This was my first time at this establishment. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by Chase. I let him know it was my first time there, and he pointed me to where I would start with my order. The cashier was very nice. She was also very patient with me. And I really appreciate that. Chase walked over and handed me a sample of their brisket. I liked it, so that what I ordered with a side of their cheddar Serrano sausage. I am frequently back and forth to Texas and California, so when it tells you their brisket is good. You can take my word for it. The brisket has a perfect smoke ring. It's so tender it's just falls apart with the slightest of pulls. And i seriously loved the green beans. They are so. Delicious. Thank you Chase for providing such excellent service. I will definitely back soon to try one of the Dino ribs they offer here. read more

Great place. Servers were excellent.Brisket tray is the best around.The smokehouse is amazing.You have to try it

This place is "the Real Deal!" We drove over an hour from Huntington Beach to Glendora to try BBQ Station, and it was well worth it! The barbecue was so good that we'll surely make the jaunt again. Whenever I travel, I try to find local, highly-rated barbecue restaurants. I judge barbecue joints by their brisket, and BBQ Station's brisket was as good as I have ever eaten. From my perspective, the best brisket doesn't need any sauce. It should have a nice crust, be very juicy, and have a wonderful smoky flavor that stands on its own. BBQ Station's brisket excels in all three. The two of us only tried the brisket and pulled pork. The next time we go, we'll try to take a couple more along so that we can share more choices. I'm anxious to try their "Dino Beef Ribs." They looked awesome. I also want to share their pork ribs and house sausage. (Writing this is making me hungry.) You can tell that BBQ station is 'the Real Deal" because of their stand-alone smokehouse and huge stock of hardwood in the back of the parking lot. They have six smokers, which is something I have never seen before. Like most barbecue places, you order at the counter and take your food to a table. The counter crew was great. They were friendly and helpful, answering our questions and directing us to where drinks, utensils, and sauces were. There were four barbecue sauces, if I remember correctly. I only tried their "station" sauce, and it was perfect for the pulled pork that we shared. We only ordered two sides, mashed potatoes and barbecue beans. We both thought that the potatoes were excellent, but we considered the beans good. We met Nico, the owner. He told us that it took nearly four years to navigate local regulations and finally get approval to open. It is evident from chatting with him that he knows and loves barbecue. The restaurant is large and was perfectly clean, and there is plenty of parking read more

Stopped here for the first time the other night for their barbecue. It's a nice clean and good looking restaurant. The wait staff was very helpful in helping me select items and going through the line for the first time. I chose to have brisket with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy. All of it was very tasty. The banana pudding was delicious. It's not the best barbecue I've ever had, but I would return if in the area and I would recommend it read more

BBQ Station - Station Plate Leftovers - Barbeque Near Me - Glendora, California

If you're looking for legit Texas BBQ that'll make you rethink every other meal you've ever had, this is the spot! Sure, the brisket and pork ribs were sold out (a tragedy we'll recover from... eventually), but the beef ribs, sausages, pulled pork, and turkey breast more than made up for it--smoked to perfection, not too much, not too little, just chef's kiss perfection. The sides? Not just an afterthought--every single one was a hit, but special shoutout to the green beans, coleslaw, and mashed potatoes for being absolute rockstars. We brought two Aussie friends to introduce them to proper Texas BBQ, and let's just say they might be reconsidering their citizenship. And oh, the desserts--banana pudding and peach cobbler that are seriously out of this world! Pair all that with a super friendly and accommodating staff, and you've got a dining experience worth repeating. We'll definitely be back! read more

Friendly service, but the food is expensive. The rice and mushrooms were good. But mac wasn't as expected, a bit runny and white cheddar taste. The meat sells out fast, so get there early read more

We finally tried the new BBQ Restaurant down the street from our house and we're so glad we did! The food was absolutely amazing, the service was exceptional, and the quality of the meat really stood out. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and very filling. The mashed potatoes were so good and the mushrooms were savory....The prices were also very reasonable for the portions and quality you get. Such a great experience all around -- highly recommend trying this place! read more

The first thing I'll say is that it's a little pricey, but I'm not taking away a star for that. We're all willing to pay a little extra for great quality, and this place is absolutely worth it. It's very rare for me to give a perfect 5-star rating. My family of five visited on July 2nd. We live just down the street, so we walked over. We were greeted as soon as we walked in, which is honestly so rare nowadays. It seems like the newer generation no longer values great customer service the way they used to, so this was refreshing. We were offered samples, and everyone at the ordering station was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered the salmon salad, and it was absolutely fresh, delicious, and very satisfying. I forgot what my husband ordered, but it came with sides, and we both felt like three people could easily share it and leave full. Our food was around $40, and we also enjoyed happy hour beers. I had the best beer of my life. I don't want it any other way--ever since then, every beer I drink has to be like yours! Besides loving the food and the beer, everything was incredibly clean. I really appreciate a restaurant that takes pride in keeping its dining area spotless. I also want to apologize because my kids accidentally spilled water. We immediately notified an employee, and the young man who helped us was so kind. He made us feel comfortable instead of making us feel like terrible parents. That level of kindness and understanding really stood out. We can't wait to come back--we're actually planning to return this weekend. read more

We have been to the restaurant about half a dozen times and have loved everything we have tried, so we used them to cater a party at our home for 70 people last weekend. They worked with us on prices and helped us to get the right amount of each item. They delivered it right on time, set everything up, and even provided serving trays. The food was fresh, hot, and taste every bit as good as if we had been in the restaurant. Everyone at the party absolutely loved the food. The brisket and the turkey were especially delicious--just the right amount of smoke on the brisket, and I have never had turkey so flavorful. Our friends loved the mashed potatoes and gravy, rice, and cornbread. Great food and great people with whom to work. read more

My rating is based on food quality, service, cleanliness, and guest interaction. This place really hit the spot! The station tray is a steal! You get your choice of meat, two sides, some bread and your pickles and onions for only 20 dollars! You can taste all the sides before you buy and most of the meats (just not dino ribs), which is awesome because you don't have to get something you'll be unhappy with. The place is set up Texas BBQ style so it's like cafeteria style, you walk up and pick your sides, then your meats then you grab a table. This place was immaculately clean. Nice lil bar in the middle with a decent selection of beers and drinks. I chose the brisket with mashed potatoes and Cesar salad. The potatoes are heavenly, smooth, creamy and oh so tasty! The salad was fresh although I personally didn't care for the Cesar dressing (try it before you throw it on). The brisket was juicy and delicious, not dry at all. My son is a Mac n cheese connoisseur and he enjoyed this one, creamy and not fake cheesy. My husband got some dino ribs which were a bit dry on some smaller places but overall juicy and tasty. Everyone in the place was very friendly and caring. The bbq sauces were delish too, they have a habanero one that was all gone so it must be great, my fave this day was sweet 66. What pushed it to 5 stars for me was Nico (not sure if spelled right), the owner. He is so passionate about his food and restaurant. He came out and greeted so many customers. He's poured his heart into this establishment, built it with his bare hands and cares deeply about a good food experience. You can go in the back and see the giant smokers. He told us the story of how this place came to be, how he went to Texas and loved their BBQ so much he learned it and tried and tried and tried til he had it down And now is serving it to us all. If you love bbq, make a trip here. OH! Banana pudding and peach cobbler was great too! I will definitely be back with the rest of my family. read more

Decided to give the BBQ Station a try. Have to say it was delicious. We ordered brisket tacos, salmon tacos and a brisket sandwich. All were so good. Each came with a side-had Mac and Cheese and mashed potatoes. BBQ sauce and condiment bar had amazing choices. Excellent! We will definitely be back. read more

The food was so good. Workers are extremely mannered . Like that the music isn't to loud .

Not bad at all. Real smoked meat, decent sides and good service. I know good bbq, had some of the best Texas has to offer (Killen's and Pinkerton's) also Carolina style (too much mustard). I smoke meat as well, so I didn't waste my time with the pork ribs. Went straight for the brisket and beef ribs. Told the meat guy that I wasn't interested in paying for the massive bone that comes with the beef ribs , he pulled the bone out of the pile and a large piece fell off! I asked for that portion and he gave it to me, saved $20-40 on that! Overall, good bbq for so cal, decent sides and great service! read more

My bro chose this for his bday lunch. I was a little worried becuz of the current Yelp! score, but once I tasted the meat, I knew we were fine. Food: Exceptional meats!! They sampled many things and all were great. We went with the pork ribs and brisket. Super jujcy, tender and flavorful. The mushrooms, mac n cheese, and potato salad were all very good too. Service: Exceptional! From the time we walked in, they were super helpful. The manager/owner, Niko, even gave us a tour of their huge smokers in the parking lot. Custom made smokers and he was so passionate telling us all about building them. Such a nice guy. You want to see his business succeed becuz of his passion for BBQ. Ambiance: nice and clean. But if u can, tour the smoke room. It was great! As we left, they gave my bro a small bag of assorted desserts for his bday. How nice is that? Truly a great experience. If you want delish BBQ, check this place out. read more

Very good. We waited for the first few months to get under their belt. Staff was very friendly and happy to explain their menu which...btw...was very simple and just like standard Texas BBQ style. Can't figure how anyone would complain about it being confusing. And...to say their smokehouse is impressive would be an understatement! I don't think I've seen anything bigger in any of the famous BBQ shacks of Texas, Kansas, or Tennessee! They've got some SERIOUS capacity!! read more
