Well first time coming to Beale's Texas BBQ. The old original Mike's has turned into a wonderful bbq restaurant. Owner Bret Beale's has created some outstanding dishes for barbecue enthusiasts. The huge tender off the bone St. Louis ribs with a hint of smoke and the mild sauce were off the hook. That tangy, never have I ever had a coleslaw like that, make me not want to share with the family slaw "boom". But the winner was the fluffy air-eee corn bread that was better than cake. I'm not a corn bread eater ask the wife but this was a game changer. Made by owner Mr. Bret Beale's from scratch! BOOM!! The whole meal was delicious and will definitely return as a regular. Great job! A Big 5 Stars!!! Cheers

I have been waiting for this restaurant to be added to DOORDASH and the first order and they cancel claiming they are closed. wow! This place just lost 110.00 order and probably won't visit the establishment

Salmon, yams, and Cole slaw.

A large group of us (14-15) dined here on Sunday. They were already busy from the car show in front. They had run out of a few items. I know most people would deduct a star for that. But I'm sure it was a busy weekend before Halloween and they did the best they could. I got the last available salmon. I'd really like to commend our waitress, Kareli. Her service was terrific. She allowed us to each pay separately and didn't make a big deal out of it. Kudos for that alone. She hustled back and forth with our drink orders, brining plenty of napkins and utensils. She was friendly, patient, understanding and professional. I'd recommend this restaurant for watching games on their big screen TVs. It's good for families, and casual dining.

Ribs, hot links, brisket, Coleslaw and Honey Cheese Cornbread

I hear Beale's was once in H.B. now they occupy the old Original Mike's building in Santa Ana. This place is huge. They have a stage for live music, a VIP room, the dining area and bar have multiple TV's to watch your favorite game. The staff here is really nice and make you feel welcome. I had the three meat dinner with rib tips, brisket, and tried tips. My sides were corn bread, and mac and cheese. I enjoyed all the meats. Everything was tender. The sides were tasty as well. This place is large enough to hold groups, team events etc. It's perfect for football weekends. There's also plenty of parking.

Triple "B" Sandwich - Tri Tip, Brisket & Pulled Pork
Ronald E.

I read other people's reviews for here first (both + & -). My take is that the brisket was SPOT ON. While no grease running out it was tender with the right pull, fat rendered correctly and collagen broken down. The flavor was MAX BEEF which you get when you use "Dalmatian" rub which is very purist Texas Pit smoked - just salt and pepper. The Triple B sandwich was a home run for my grandson - all four meats (they added sausage also) LOVED the sausage, tender not spicy and the pulled pork was well seasoned and like the brisket tender so cooked to 203 give or take. Grandson also loved the Mac & Cheese, with him mixing it all together since the "Formed meat" sandwich was way too big for his mouth and he has a BIG mouth. Service was attentive from start to finish so this place definitely goes on the list of regular haunts.

Great food but ambiance didn't seem very BBQey.I had three different meats (pork, brisket and chicken) and all were fantastic. I liked that it had a sports bar vibe but maybe because it eas empty it just didn't feel like a place that sold BQ - it felt more like a nightclub that serves food during the daytime. The portions were large and prices were reasonable. I also liked the sweet and savory bbq sauces. The macaroni was good however the collared greens seemed rather flavorless. Would still recommend and will definitely give this place another look to reconsider for that 5th star

The food is decent, but we made reservations for Mother's Day and they ran out of food. Not sure how that happens but very disappointing.

I've been telling my family about this place for years and finally we made plans for dinner to come…read morehere. We got here on Friday night 4/3/26 around 5:30pm. All the tables were full and there was one party of 11 just ahead of us. Our wait for a table was like 30 minutes or so. Once we were up we were guided to a table towards the back for five. Our server asked if we been here before and if we wanted anything else besides water to drink. My brother and his fiance split a full order of the beef ribs and side order of sauteed garlic green beans. My mom and step dad split a full order of beef ribs while I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs which came with two side orders. I picked coleslaw and onion rings which I shared with the family. The food came out promptly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The baby back ribs were moist with flavor, smoked and went well with their bbq sauce. The rest of the family really like their beef ribs. And they even commented that it was better than the other bbq places we been to. Definitely will return and highly recommend.

*** SCAM ALERT *** I…read moredon't use the word "SCAM" lightly, but that's what this was. My adult son called in a $281.62 order off the menu for Mother's Day. They would not accept the order or payment over the phone because the order was "too big." They asked that someone go there and pay up front for the entire order. Since it was the evening before Mother's Day, I drove to them and paid for the order. Yes, I was also presented with a minumum 20% TIP screen, which I declined. When I got there at pickup time (4:00pm) on Mother's Day, the price changed to $325.51. I was told that, for some reason, they had cut about 50% larger portions than the menu specified (see the line items, which should have been 1 lb. each), so they charged me for the difference ($325.51 - $281.62) which was $43.89 (about 50% more for the 2 items they cut heavier). No, there was no mention when I placed the order that the total cost might change due to extra meat. Neither is it shown on their web site or printed menus. When I protested, there was no option. If I don't pay the $43.89 difference, I don't get the Mother's Day food. After about 20 minutes of bickering at the counter with two different clerks (note the time stamp differences on the credit card slips), I was given my original order, with a net price reduction of ($281.62 - $254.93) $26.69. My persistence had paid off. On a positive note, the cook did, twice, walk up to me and quietly apologize for what was going on. I know many folks would have folded in this situation, but that's not my nature. I don't stand for dishonesty. Yes, it was embarrassing, other clients in line were not happy (I let them skip ahead of me so as not to inconvenience them). None of them had price increases. I don't know if the clerks wanted a tip because the management doesn't pay them much, or it this goes deeper and is standard operating procedure that assumes most clients will simply approve of the overage and pay up. In any case, from this client's point of view, this is a SCAM! When it was all over, I took my 11 and 12 year old grandsons (who had been sitting patiently waiting for grandpa to pay) and my food package to the car, drove home and proudly presented the meat to my family. After all, I am a hunter-gatherer; and the food was great!

Overall I left with mixed feelings, but did enjoy the meal all things considered. Sauced is located in the Cinemark plaza across from Pitfire. Parking directly in front is limited, but there is plenty in the surrounding area. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, along with bar seating. I'd recommend making a reservation in advance as it can get busy. Service was pretty good overall, our server was friendly and the manager was making the rounds too which was nice. My only critique is that it did take a little bit of time to get service on things when we needed it, but did have things addressed quickly once we'd get our servers attention. On the food front, I got the ribs, brisket, mac & cheese, green beans, baked beans, and slaw. The brisket and ribs both came out very dry unfortunately, but the ribs were flavorful (the provided bbq sauces also helped). The mac & cheese was on the grainy side, but the baked beans and green beans were delicious. The Cole slaw was fine, a bit bland but nothing to write home about. I must admit that the food tasted better when I had ordered takeout a couple years back, which is why I had hoped today's meal would be even better than it was. It's also a pretty pricey meal for how much food you get, so I was hoping the quality of the meat would've been better. I don't think this place is bad by any means, but it does feel like the quality has gone down. I'd certainly be open to visiting again in the future, and hope things are better next time.

Crazy part is I've been looking at this place for months. Im so happy the smoking king disappointed me otherwise I would have never found this gem.

The pulled pork sandwich on the brioche bun with the slaw is super good, and I really appreciate that they don't drench the meat in sauce beforehand. They let you choose your own sauces at the table, and all of them are really tasty. The fries are great, the beans are good, and the sides overall are solid. The restaurant itself is also really nice with plenty of parking, family friendly, huge indoor seating area with heating, patio seating, and even a little bar area. The only reason it's not a full 5 stars for me is because I've been here probably 6 or 7 times now, and the pulled pork consistently has a little too much fat/gristle mixed in. Sometimes you'll get a bite that's mostly squishy fat, and occasionally the smoke flavor can taste a little overpowering, almost like extra smoke flavoring was added. It's not a deal breaker at all because the food is still really good, but if they trimmed the pork a bit more and toned down the smoke flavor slightly, this would easily be a 5-star spot for me.
