This is a true "hole in the wall, gotta know someone who has been there to know about it" type of…read morerestaurant. They've been in that location for 19 years but first thing to know is there is no dine in option and if you blink, you'll pass right by it. You walk in, there's the order/pick up counter and a couple chairs to sit in to wait for your order, a jukebox that says "do not touch" and a soda fridge. But don't fret, the ribs are worth picking up or having delivered. Fresh, succulent, "cut it with a spoon" tender and meaty ribs. Very good sauce covering everything and I don't say this lightly. I usually eat my ribs sauceless or with just a little to dip in to but not this time. All my fingers and half my face got sauced and I didn't care. The sides were as noteworthy as the ribs. Delicious, moist, cheesy homemade (or good as homemade if it was store bought) mac & cheese and baked beans cooked to perfection. The only things that held up the fifth star was 1. Their sliced beef. It was fatty and drenched in bbq sauce like they were hiding their sliced beef shame in it, 2. The service was slow. I called in the order, was told 15 minutes, I arrived 30 mins later and they hadn't even started putting the order together. I ended up waiting an additional 15 mins while they prepared the order, and 3. Their hours are a little selective. Make sure you check the hours on the day you go. All of this is forgivable though because what they do right, they do RIGHT!! And they definitely do ribs right. Sorry, I failed to capture any pictures.

I've given this place multiple chances, but unfortunately today was the final one. The food was…read moreextremely disappointing honestly, "unsatisfying" doesn't even begin to describe how upset I felt after taking a bite today. The rice was cold and dry. Period. No thank you and the chicken tasted old, like it had been frozen for a while then thawed when ordered. The staff is nice, which I do appreciate, but the food quality just isn't there. I don't think I'll be coming back.

They were set up outside Hops…read moreand Spokes Brewing Company, and I was able to grab my food and go eat inside to watch the Ducks hockey game, which made the whole experience even better. The guy working the window was genuinely friendly and took the time to give me samples of both the pulled pork and the brisket, which already told me they care about what they're serving. I went with the mac & cheese brisket bowl with jalapeños on top, and it delivered exactly how it looked. Rich, smoky brisket over creamy mac and cheese with a solid kick from the jalapeños. It looked amazing and actually lived up to it, which doesn't always happen. Between the food, the service, and the setup with the brewery, this is an easy 5 stars and definitely something I'll be coming back for.

The tri tip was not only delicate and tender but also very flavorful WITHOUT any bbq sauce. The chef was so gracious in explaining his process in meat preparation as well. In my opinion, that is a sign of a great cook or chef, the sharing of the process because there's no threat of competition from others.

Reading some of the previous reviews gave me a chuckle. What do you mean it was too cold inside?…read moreYou're about to stuff your face over an open fire grill. Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..

If only I didn't run out of battery power and charge the iPhone at the Apple Store in Santa Monica. What if I just walked 2% better, would I have caught the bus? What if I sent one less minute contemplating the vegan truck? Luckily the regular ribs remained, and were amazing. I'm not school in regional barbecue terminology, but this seemed like more of the direct fire kind of ribs than low-and-slow. The sauce was excellent and the salad-type side dish was better than it needed to be.

Ordered spicy sausage that comes with potato salad and beans. 15 or 16$. While I was waiting, he was kind and offered me a chicken leg to tempt me. Chicken by far better than the spicy sausage. Sausage was mushy from being overcooked, and the only flavor was the spicy sauce. I should have ordered the chicken as he tried to sell me and he should remove sausage from the menu. I did not receive potato salad and was only told after the fact..out of potato salad, I received extra beans. Good chicken, but not how I would operate my food truck.
