Today was our first time eating there and oh my god it is so worth the money. my wife and I had the sandwich sampler and absolutely loved it. The sausage was so juicy and flavorful as well as the turkey and brisket. My son had the turkey sandwich with avocado and loved every bite. The half onion rings/fries and the Mac and cheese were so delicious. But the stars of the show were there banana bread pudding and peach cobbler. Highly recommend if you are in the mood for great BBQ!! The staff were absolutely amazing and so very helpful. If you decide to eat in like we didn't, they have plenty of seating and the atmosphere is very peaceful. read more

Blake's Place - Ate my sandwich before I took a pic. It was delicious. - Barbeque Near Me - Anaheim, California

I hadn't been back in a while and decided to try it out again, mistake. Food is extremely overpriced for what it's worth. Portions have also shrunk over time, not to mention they charge for plates and utensils if you're not dining in. Needless to say I won't be returning. read more

I ordered the "Beef Brisket Pile" sandwich, it came with a small side of coleslaw, and I also ordered a side of small fries. No drink. Total w/tax $24.34. With tip $27.72 Sandwich was a small brioche bun, with a small amount of shredded beef mixed with BBQ sauce. I measured the amount of meat between the buns and it was about 1/4 inch. This was not a pile, the meat was so shredded, it was like a sloppy Joe. Not chunks or slices of beef brisket. Honestly I couldn't tell if it was shredded beef or pork or chicken. Flavors were good, fries were delicious, they were coated with flour before frying. So they were crunchy. The coleslaw was flavorless and bitter. It just tasted like plain cabbage. Couldn't eat it. Spoke with someone who claimed to be one of the managers, he said they put 1/3 lb of meat on their sandwiches. Hahahaha Not. He made no effort to invite me back, offer a coupon or anything. He just walked away. Sadly, like many restaurants nowadays, beautiful ambience but they fail on the food and pricing. $25 dlls for a small brioche bun with a small amount of meat and small fries is just excessive. read more

friendly staff. we ordered fm the smoker. the meats' smokey profile were far too mild or lacked that robust, hearty foundation.. While the brisket was tender it was also a bit dry. read more

We came to Blake's for lunch and ordered the BBQ platter with two types of ribs, brisket and a few sides. The brisket and ribs were delicious and my wife loved the Cole Slaw. Beans were ok and sweet potato fries were soggy and cold. They replaced the fries with another slaw. Service is always great and they greet you very warmly. Don't forget the banana pudding. Will come back next week! read more

As a huge BBQ fan, I can confidently say Blake's hits the mark. The Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork are tender, juicy, and packed with flavor...the scent of the wood-fire really comes through. Their BBQ sauce is hands-down the best I've ever tasted at any restaurant. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always friendly and helpful. Blake's is an amazing catering company also. I highly recommend this spot and will definitely return to try more of the menu! read more

Had the best pull chicken sandwich ever!!! Finally a place that knows how to cook it without drying out the chicken. The whole experience walking in for the first time was awesome. Connor greeted us and gave us plenty of time to review their menu. Jacob was super attentive, great customer service! What was really cool is that we got to meet Blake! That is so awesome that the owner works with his team to deliver that prime customer experience. I definitely come back and recommend this place. read more

I'm not the most critical person when it comes to American BBQ, only because I didn't grow up eating it often. So when it comes to the sauce, I never really know what I'm looking for. But my family came here for my dad's birthday and it was great! LOCATION - located in a business center, there's the restaurant, and there are their corporate offices. You'll easily be able to spot out the restaurant part. They do have an open patio that does allow dogs. I was a little worried because it looked like it was part of the indoor portion, but I checked with the staff first and was able to bring in our pup. Parking in plentiful, so no worries there. SERVICE - Really friendly and helpful people! Each single person. You order at the counter then they bring you your food to the table. We're a party of 6 so wanted to figure out how to get what we all wanted without an abundance of food, so the lady at the counter helped us so politely. Didn't make us feel bad at all for not really being 100% ready when we approached the counter. The guy who delivered our food was quirky and super nice! AMBIANCE - Very casual feel. I feel as if when it gets busy, there is a wait, but we did an early dinner so we were good and there was a table for us 6, no problem. FOOD - Everything was pretty good! Again, I'm no BBQ-snob. But we all really liked their BBQ sauce because it wasn't too vinegar-y and didn't punch you in the face. It was so good my dad ended up buying a bottle! Their mac n cheese was my favorite side dish and their brisket was delicious! The only thing I noticed was their baby back ribs and spare ribs wasn't as tender, so you do have to work for it. But other than that, great! PRICE - Price point for this place was actually pretty decent. No complaints, especially in this economy. read more

I came for the 30th year celebration. Today they were giving a t shirt to the first 30 customers. I wore my Beast shirt that I won for doing their challenge. I ended up ordering the three meat plate brisket, turkey and pulled pork. The turkey was juicy, brisket passed the fold testand was delicious. The pulled pork was also delicious. None of the meats was over sauced. I pay for the meat and not sauce. If you use to much sauce you're trying to cover up bad BBQ. The BBQ here is perfect. read more

Blake's Place is our go-to spot for brisket and pulled-pork sandwiches. Their portions are generous, and we often order from Blake's for get-togethers. The wait for our food usually isn't bad. If you're ordering for a party, call and order ahead. It's not a large place, but there's enough seating. Larger parties can sit outside under the covered patio. read more

FIVE STARS, hands down!! We've been coming here for 20 years and I'm finally writing a review! This place is a hidden gem, just south of the city of Placentia in east Anaheim. They smoke their high quality meats on property. So good you don't even need sauce but they have spicy and regular and you can buy a bottle of sauce to take home. Order at the window and server brings food to your table. Everyone is really nice here. Very clean. Never, ever had a bad meal. My only complaint is I wish they had baked potatoes. The company my husband works for has had them cater several times. Everyone raved about how great the food was. read more

I had the opportunity to take one of my business clients out to lunch today, and we decided to try Blake's Place in Anaheim. We ordered two plates and two sodas -- the total came to $72.62. The price is outrageous, but I could live with it if the food was great. Unfortunately, it was not. My pulled pork sandwich was practically inedible. The bread was old, the meat was chewy, and it completely lacked flavor. The beans were no better -- you could tell they had been reconstituted over and over again. The two stars I'm giving are for cleanliness and friendliness. Everything else needs a total revamping. To be honest, I feel bad that I spent that kind of money, and I'm pretty angry about it. I genuinely feel I deserve a full refund -- minus the tip. My advice to anyone reading this: do not invest in this restaurant. The prices are far too high for the average family, and the food is substandard. What a disappointment. read more

It's not everyday you get to enjoy good BBQ, ordered lunch for a small business about 10 mi. Away. Was going to pick it up and the owner surprised us with a special delivery. Hats off and a high 5 to this great place. Everyone enjoyed the food and if you ever see someone demolish The Beast it's impressive. We ordered 3 only 1 made the cut. Thanks for an excellent service and lunch. read more

We went back for a second night and loved it as much as the first! We got to meet Blake who was such a great guy! Thanks for making our vacation memorable!! read more

It's in the front of an industrial complex but easily visible. Food was Great, service wonderful always checking to see if we needed anything further. I had the brisket burrito which was enormous and beyond delicious. My husband had the sandwich platter with a variety of meats, delicious. He loved their bbq sauce and baked beans. The rest of our group got the brisket with sides and garlic bread. It was all a hit! We will be back! We got peach cobbler to take home. read more

Started with excellent service and very friendly staff. The food was delicious. We had brisket, pulled pork, sausage, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, fries and onion rings. Then Blake bought a birthday dessert (banana pudding) yum. Nice and clean inside with outside dining available. Will definitely come back. read more

Found this place for lunch. We ordered from the front counter with the menu overhead. Got our drinks and grabbed a seat. Nothing flash about this place. Just the way I like it. It smelled great inside. And was organized, clean and not loud at all. Staff brought the food. And yall it was delicious. The meats were juicy and hot. Cooked to perfection. Mac ans cheese was saucy and delicious and the salad. Very nicely done. So if your looking for a great BBQ place for a quick lunch. Highly suggest it. read more

Blake's Place - Rib and brisket plate with Mac and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Anaheim, California

This was our first Easter in over twenty years that we had no plans. A friend told us about an Easter special Blake's was offering called The Hungry Bunny for I think $130 and so we ordered it. The meal included smoked turkey breast, smoked ham, green beans, mashed potatoes & gravy, fruit, green salad with two dressings, and bread & butter. My family (two adults, two teenagers) got two full meals out of it! Everything was great, but the turkey and gravy were real standouts. I am normally not a fan of smoked poultry, but that smoked turkey was incredibly good! I was a little sad that we didn't order extra. The turkey gravy was also delicious. I think we might make Blake's a new tradition for when we don't have holiday plans. I really appreciated the employees giving up their Easter morning so we could enjoy a stress free meal. Blake's also catered a lunch at my work this week, too! How funny is that?! At work they bought sliced brisket, ribs, kielbasa sausage, mashed potatoes & brown gravy, Mac & cheese, little corns on cobs, Caesar salad, and bread & butter. Oh my gosh, the sliced brisket was AMAZING!! Everyone was raving about it. The sweet yellow corn was so good with butter and salt. I'm normally not a fan of ribs, but these were very good. I loved the Caesar dressing! I didn't know before that Blake's does catering, but they were really great. They included plates, napkins, flatware, salt & pepper packets, and even individual packets of wet wipes - super helpful after chomping on ribs and buttery corn of the cob. I hope we can get it for lunch again soon! They have such great food and I'm glad I was able to have them twice in the same week! read more

My family and I used to eat at the Los Alamitos location. The food was always consistently good! We moved years ago and I forgot how delicious Blake's BBQ was! This location also serves great bbq! I surprised my dad with their family meal and we all thought it was flavorful and tender! Don't skip the sauce! We always buy an extra bottle. The spicy sauce has the right amount of kick! I love the smokiness of the meat and their sides: mac and cheese, coleslaw, beans, and potato salad compliments the rest of the food! The bread is soft and buttery! I love that they don't try to do too much with their food. They keep it simple and it's great! We will always be fans of Blake's bbq! read more

Looking for a place to scratch that barbecue itch and Blake's definitely did that. Our food came out quick despite a lunch rush and the servers and cooks were so kind throughout. The meat itself was great and juicy, however the sides were a little underwhelming. Still a solid spot to come back to read more

Back at Blake's Place again with another review. I usually order The Beast, but today I went with the nachos plus the mac and cheese! The tortilla chips are thicker than usual, which makes sense with how much meat is piled on. I went with the chopped beef brisket and pulled pork, and it was packed with flavor. Everything was layered with melted jack and cheddar cheese, Blake's BBQ beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, and a big scoop of avocado. Every bite had a good mix of ingredients without falling apart. I also grabbed a side of the mac & cheese. It's creamy and has a nice texture. Solid side that works well with the BBQ. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Thinking about going for the BBQ chicken next time or maybe one of the deli sandwiches. This place has been consistent every visit. read more

Good spot in a barbecue desert. I've passed by this place for years. A million years ago, a friend of mine told me Blake's was garbage, and since he's a chef, I never popped in. I went once a long time ago and vaguely remember that it was passable barbecue, but nothing to write home about. I'm not a barbecue connoisseur, but I don't pay for barbecue unless it's good. Years passed and I ended up moving pretty close to Blake's, so I decided to try it again. My renewed opinion is that it's a solid barbecue place and somewhat affordable- don't expect the best BBQ of your existence and you won't be disappointed. I'm not going to lie, there is another place that I prefer, but it's more expensive and has bad parking, so most of the time, I'd rather hit Blake's. Easy and reliable. After coming here a bunch of times, our order is: Southwest salad with tri tip instead of chicken and a piece of garlic bread - this salad is my favorite. I do wish they served the meat on the salad warm, but I understand many restaurants don't do that to avoid wilting. Brisket sandwich Peach cobbler - it's not the best but still good! Warm it up and add ice cream if you have it at home One time, we shelled out a bit to taste all of their barbecue options, and the ribs, burnt ends, and brisket did not disappoint! We don't often order the straight barbecue because it's more expensive than getting an entree, but I definitely recommend you get it if you can. I ordered the lil beast sandwich once and that was also good, although I didn't expect for it to be all shredded meat. I'd prefer straight smoked meat or the brisket sandwich. Their bbq sauces are also very good. The spicy one is my favorite. Would recommend if you need a quick fix! read more

Common stop for us after great services at Eastside Church. Blake is normally there greeting customers who are far too interested in the great barbeque he sells. Wings, Ribs, and Tri Tip are the absolute best....but the darn Pastrami takes the cake for me! read more

I had called in a few days earlier before I picked up my order. Walked in and they had the order already done and ready to go. I ordered sliced barbecue brisket which was amazing and sausage and smoked turkey was the bomb, big serving sizes for what we paid for and also had sides of potato salad, backed beans . Blake the owner put in a few extra goodies in our order with a happy smile and was very polite in asking where we were going to eat all of the delicious food and we said to our papas house in the area for his 88 th birthday. read more

It was okay. I was very impressed that Blake was walking around and talking to people while bringing food out and cleaning tables. The food was decent. Not the best bbq and not the worst. This will work for a relaxing dinner that fills the stomach. read more

Food to go was ready ASAP, with a smile. Ordered plates of beef brisket, half slab baby ribs, and pulled pork with BBQ sauce on the side. Baked beans and toast were excellent, and Cole slaw was mild but good. Meat portions were a little smaller than what I thought they'd be. It was all tasty, though! read more
