Went in for lunch and was surprised by a quality barbecue restaurant. Ordered pork sliders and a buddy ordered the rib and chicken combo with some onion rings. Absolutely blew my tastebuds away with how good the meat was prepared. Service was quick taking around 10 minutes to prepare. Overall a great spot! I will be coming back again soon! read more

Absolutely best BBQ I have ever had. This place is underrated. I have been eating here since my college days. Their house made BBQ sauce is the perfect blend of tangy and savory. It is so good, I always ask for extra sauce, and actually dip the rolls in it lol. Anything on the menu is fantastic. The sides are all old school made from scratch. The ribs are making mouth water, just thinking about them. If you don't like Big B's, you don't like BBQ read more

I ordered a takeout that took about 1 hour to complete which is fine. When I got back to my apartment(about a 5 min drive from Mr B) the meat was not tender and dry, the bbq sauce was not to me or my roommates preference, fries were unsalted and bad. Chicken was dry as well. read more

We ordered 3 pulled pork sliders with extra bbq sauce and coleslaw. Every thing was delicious. The place is clean and service is friendly and fast. The BBQ sauce is the best!!! read more

Big B's Barbecue - Curb side service - Barbeque Near Me - Fullerton, California

I've been in search of a local BBQ spot where I could get my fix. A co-worker recommended this place and after reading some good reviews, I decided to give it a try. Big B's barbecue is fairly small with a few tables, a bar seating area along the wall and a walk up counter where you place your order. The staff was friendly and welcoming upon entering. I felt like I was at a family friends' kitchen. The gal at the register offered some menu suggestions seeing that it was my first time there. I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich with a side of Beckett's beans. The sandwich was good, but the BBQ sauce is what made it! I love that this place is connected to Brian's beer and billiards next door. I will definitely be back to have some barbecue over some drinks. Overall, I was satisfied. Good food and good customer service! read more

This RIDICULOUSLY good BBQ THE BABY BACKS are to DIE for ... the beans and slaw are otherworldly, the staff is helpful and kind and the price is right. Google sent me here off the freeway by accident and blam I glad I found this little honey hole read more

I Still had the itch for some Q again today. But my time was short and hunger growing. One of my old standbys, Big B's popped into my head. It has been a while since I'd eaten there but I had no worries as they'd always been a good choice for some damn tasty ribs for the (20ish) years I've been eating them. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#5MG7nuBwynDILBvOCrSeug If you never been to Big B's or the sister pub Brian's that spawned B's. You're missing on some North OC History. This place is a Fullerton / Placentia BBQ rib institution slingin' ribs for over 25 years. Big B's is a true hole in the wall joint. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=XCRsOfH2yRUeLAWRv6CVhQ#XCRsOfH2yRUeLAWRv6CVhQ Because they serve Big B's food next door at Brian's sports bar. How cool is that? While B's is not a smokehouse they still churn out slab after slab of some mighty good ribs. Baking them first then char-grilling them over a mesquite (hot wood) fueled grill 'till they are moist fall off the bone delish. The mesquite adds a nice taste and the heat adds a nice bark to the pork baby's that will make your mouth happy. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#EQzxlKgG4CqRJcXwMJT0jg But if you are a low & slow BBQ /Smoker purist you'll be disappointed with the method but not the results as these are some mighty fine ribs. Served without the mildly tangy sauce on then as the sauce is served warm and is left up to you to add a little or a lot per your desires. FOOD: A slab of ribs was on the menu for tonight's dinner. For $20 & change It comes with a side of Beckett's beans and either coleslaw, potato salad, fries or pasta salad and a roll. I opted for the potato salad. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#VBW0rC7vZLEP8STfcqqKfA The Ribs ... were damn good as always, always consistently made. 4****Stars Before ... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#YLGg60WFPWJ_T9PoTFiarg During ... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#Ibe7RaNc7a9ZMV_hUfDItQ And After ... http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#--Qy728ltmwzzyoI35jX8Q Beckett's Beans .... made with 3 kinds of beans, pinto, kidney and (?) with bacon and jalapenos added for a slight kick. 5*****Star http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#XkwhCFMWF-Dc-HbGOA0v5A Potato Salad .... this is some good home-style stuff with large potato skin-on chunks, a wee bit of celery, seasoning, pickle pieces, light mayo and a dash of dill to send it home 4.5****Stars http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-bs-barbecue-fullerton?select=90HFUwSJlaCfwMKHtrCTuQ#6o6w5eMjIsEFKZNAO1m2MQ They also do a great BBQ chicken, along with sandwiches like turkey, bratwurst, BBQ pork & beef and others. Plus all their sides are great. B's is primarily a take out or hole in the wall (Brian's) affair but a couple of tables inside and out will work if you can't wait to get home or are having lunch. The price is right too as you'd pay more anywhere else I can think of. They also do catering and the staff is friendly as hell. I'll be back to stay for another 20 years. read more

I found this place when I went to the barbershop next door, otherwise I wouldn't have known it was there. I brought my son, since he wanted to try a new BBQ place. We ordered a half slab, fries and beans to share and some drinks. The ribs did take a while to prepare, but we weren't in a rush. We ended up staying and enjoyed our meal while watching a baseball game on tv. The ribs were nice and tender, and literally will fall off the bone after biting into it. Some have complained about the beans. These are pinto beans, cooked in a nice southwestern style. I enjoyed the beans. My son loved the BBQ ribs and has already recommended the place to others. The service was good, and the staff was really friendly. That's what's nice. Of course I will be back. read more

When your co-workers treat you out to lunch, you can never say "No!" to a free meal. One of my senior colleagues thought about headed out to a local barbecue joint. Its not one of those big franchise/names that is all over the nation. This one is more a hometown barbecue joint. When you want more of heart and soul into your open flame food, you head over to Big B's Barbecue in Fullerton. Located on a shopping plaza on the northeast corner of Placentia Ave and Yorba Linda Blvd. at the furthest north corner, you will find the small, but locally fan favorite, Big B's Barbecue. When you arrive, you would think its a big fancy restaurant. Nope! Its actually a small store with a couple tables inside and outside. No more than 10 can be seated inside. It can get quite packed inside. Just before you enter, you'll notice a bar to the right of Big B's Barbecue. It's also related to the Big B's called Brian's Bar and Billiard. Both owned by Brian Fairley. The ordering process is fairly simple. There are menus at the counter and you pick your meat to be barbecued. Since we came in at lunch time, Big D's has a special on lunch. It can range from ribs to chicken to fish & chips. Their famous pork ribs are extremely famous with Big D's and the crowd. Big D's offers many various sandwiches from beef, chicken, pork, and even a turkey sandwich. Of course, we were here to try their famous barbecue. Since I don't eat red meat, I opted to get to get the Chicken Lunch Special: 1/2 of a Chicken with Potato Salad and a fresh bread roll ($10.25). The wait for our food was about 10 minutes. While we were waiting for our lunch, I took a quick gander around the room. Since the room was very small, it was a quick scoping of the dining area, if you call it that. Besides the obvious, television and the miniature pinball game, I noticed a couple awards and a city resolution. Well, look it here. Big B's Barbecue does play a big role in the city. Well, that puts them on the city map. The lady called our meal orders and it was time to dig into our barbecue. Every dish from the ribs to my half chicken looked very good. I didn't get to see what kind of oven Big B's uses, but it was good enough to have their ribs fall off the bone. As for a chicken, mine was sweet and charred. I love how the meat fell off the bone. With the barbecue dipping sauce, it made my meal more delicious. Trying on the sauce alone, it will be a tad salty. The potato salad was OK. There wasn't anything special about it. As for the bread roll, I am not sure if it was baked fresh or it came out of the bag. It was hard to tell. The size was pretty big for a roll. Nice and fluffy. The overall meal was above average. Big B's doesn't have a big sign or a big restaurant. It relies on the local community to make this popular. With Brian's Bar and Billiard as one of the oldest bars in the area, its a true testament on their story and how they want to live their lives. If you don't feel like firing up the grill, let Big B's Barbecue cook up your meat. They'll be tasty, smokey, and more importantly delicious! Get your bib because your clothes are going to covered in sauce. At least, your fingers will be. Yelp...My passion is not to write my reviews, but to share my experiences with you. Take that journey and share your story. read more

Recommended by a fellow yelper and coincidentally brought up in another random conversation...I had to try it! The barbecued pork sandwich is very tender to the bite and so was the barbecued beef sandwich; both $7.45 each. I thought the sauce was a little off in the beef sandwich but couldn't pinpoint what it was that I didn't like. The Becketts beans are randomly sweeter & spicier than I thought they would be but still a nice change from regular baked beans. Advertisted on the menu as 3 kinds of beans blended with bacon & jalapenos. They had me at bacon. :( Might be back but I've had better bbq. (Best ribs hands down are still at Tulsa Rib Company in Orange.) If I was drinking at the connecting bar, the bbq might be more appetizing after a few drinks & the need / urge for munchies set in. read more

This place was really good, the ribs were delicious. Biggest negative was cold roll and basically frozen butter, nobody wants that and what's worse is that everybody knows it, why serve it that way... read more

A co-worker of mine introduced me to Big B's yesterday, when we swung by for lunch. Based on the food alone, this place gets 5 stars. I ordered the chicken and rib lunch combo, except I subbed a chicken breast in place of halved chicken. The food took a while to prepare, but came out piping hot and fresh. The chicken breast was bigger than the 4-5 rib bones. The fries were hot. They gave me sides of extra BBQ sauce and ranch without having to ask. The rib meat was tender and fell off the bone. Definitely 5 stars on food, hands down. The actual eating area in Big B's is the size of my work cubicle. There are a few tables and a bar top. We had to eat outside at a picnic table, where cars were driving close by. I understand that the bar next door has the same owners and that they serve the same BBQ. I'll definitely check out the bar next time. A star was deducted for the prices. The lunch combo was $12.95. The chicken breast substitution was $1.00. A drink was $2.00. Out the door, my damage was $17.07, which is very pricey for a lunch. The food was very good, however. I will definitely return. Next time I will try one of their sandwiches, which all sounded very good. Take a look at my photo and give it a thumbs up. read more

I have watched this place go from my favorite to "eh, if McDonalds isn't selling the McRib, I'll go to Big B's". The sauce is oily and without any significant taste and the ribs border dry. The sides for a full rack are too small and to charge 45 cents for a roll is just greedy. Truly disappointed. I used to frequent the place but now, I would rather go elsewhere. read more

The absolute best ribs in the OC. We had take out slabs and we can't say enough about how delicious they were. Because my kids are teens we won't be able to eat there on the bar and the take out side isn't comfortable but we will take out there any day! The service is great too! Curbside was fast and efficient and out order was packed correctly and nicely. read more

A little more expensive then I would like but fantastic food. Great bbq taste. Cole slaw is a little dry but fresh Ribs were amazing and fell off the bone read more

We were recommended to try this small local bbq place by a customer when we were in the area. My husband ordered the bratwurst sandwich and I had the rib lunch. Both options cane with a side order and the drinks are separated. The total came to a little under $28.00 and we thought that was a little pricey. It might just be me, but I found the bbq sauce to be a little on the sour almost a vinegar type taste and the fries were dry and over cooked. The ribs had so much fat on them they were about 70% of the rib. Overall it was ok but I would not likely return. read more

Came to B's BBQ. Once again, can't get enough of their sauerkraut bratwurst, and they always have a hazy ready for me to be lazy. Come on down and get the best service I've ever had, dian is the sweetest read more

I'm really surprised this place has stayed a true diamond in the rough. Tucked away behind a Rigobertos adjacent to a SteinMart its no wonder this place is known by few. It does have a loyal following of patrons but word of mouth doesnt seem to spread fast. Big B's aka Brian's also has a bar next door. Fries, coleslaw, baked beans or their rolls are fair but ya come here for their BBQ and giant portions. Pulled porked dressed in tangy slightly spiced sauce married with a light draft beer to settle your food coma. Relax with your friends and enjoy the game. read more

Wow amazing bbq ribs and chicken! Way Better than Lucille's and dickies! The ribs were so good you were able to pull the rib off of the meat... the basket of fries was a lot for 2. The beans were delicious and tasteful and the chicken was juicy and sweet. Best ribs in oc and I have been to many rib places like Oklahoma joes in Kansas and Phil's in sd. The workers are so nice and welcoming. They know their customers like they are family which was nice to see. Go eat and read more

My hubs and I have been eating here for probably 15 years or more and love it! Their BBQ is always good but today was the best ever. Sean at the grill totally nailed the chicken!! A nice char in the outside and moist in the inside! Hands down they have the best French Fries! They only make them to order so you never get cold fry's! And don't forget the nice fresh roll with a Pat of real butter! Delish! read more

This place was ok. The barbeque sauce was very vinegary, you can smell it heavily as soon as you get your food. I got the BBQ Pork Sandwich with a side of potato salad and the gf got the Pulled Pork Sliders with beckett's beans. They say the beans are made with jalapenos and bacon in the mix which sounded great. However, after the first bite, we knew the description was deceptive. They were bland, and I know it's harsh to say but they were bland to the point of comparing them to the beans you get with a traditional English breakfast (if you've ever had that, then you know how harsh that comparison is). The potato salad was at least enjoyable. Not the best ever, but it was a good blend of sauce and potatoes so you weren't overpowered by one or the other, but it did have a similar problem as the beans in that it just lacked in taste. I felt indifferent about it. As for the main dishes, the BBQ pork sandwich was good. It came with a good amount of sauce on it, however, no extra was provided (there isn't any bbq sauce on the table so if you want more you're gonna have to ask for more). The meat was tender and mostly juicy save a few dry spots here and there but nothing to complain about. I'd have to say the Pulled Pork sliders was the best of all we had. The meat was tender and juicy and it came on yeast rolls (my favorite) for buns. This did come with extra bbq sauce on the side so that was a plus. All in all an ok meal, but for $17, I'm not gunning to go back. Next time we'll try the ribs and see if that's where Big B's stands out. read more

Yummy for my tummy! Taste great more filling. Go there! It's not cheap food its good food. Get spare ribs extra slaw.

Tried out the place a few days ago. Very good bbq sauce. Chicken was good. Ribs where fall off the bone good.

This place is sooooo yummy. We recently moved from Texas and were really sad to leave the land of grilled and smoked meats. But Big B's fills the voids. The beans are delicious too. If the people of B's are reading this know that I would love to see mac & cheese and some sweet tea on your menu though. The price is good. My partner is obsessed with the ribs. Personally I'm there for the chicken. read more

We have always loved this place. Usually delicious and fresh Today the food was dry and greasy. Not their usual quality. When i called to let them know, i was called a liar and that he( said he was the manager) just prepared it. Very rude and bad attitude. in my businesses, i preferred that dissatisfied customers tell me, not others. We did not want anything or a refund, just to let them know. read more

Have lived in the area for years and would drive to other barbecue places always forgetting about this "hole in the wall" place. What a mistake. Hands down the best barbecue joint in the area. Had the pulled pork sliders and the rib plate and both were perfect, smoky good. As we were leaving another customer told us the chicken is fantastic so will try next time. Looking for a locally owned, very good and reasonably priced local barbecue restaurant? Look no more. There is some outdoor seating in front but very limited. read more
