Had the pleasure of checking out Crazy Gringo BBQ during their soft opening at Kings Brewing with my wife and daughter and we were seriously impressed. The space is beautiful with a laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes you want to hang out for a while. Now let's talk about the BBQ... easily the best I've had in the Upland/Rancho Cucamonga area. Everything was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and clearly made with LOVE! You can tell these folks take pride in what they're serving. We ordered the Sampler Trio Street Tacos, Loaded BBQ Fries with burnt ends, and two tostadas -- one with pork belly and one with burnt end brisket. I personally had the burnt end loaded fries and the tostadas. My favorite was the pork belly tostada -- that is the definition of a flavorful bite. The loaded fries with burnt ends were also very tasty. The flavor was really good. If I came back, I'd order the exact same thing. For anyone into breweries, this spot has a legit smokehouse inside -- not just snacks or bar food, but real-deal BBQ. If I had to end this review with a five letter word, it would be LEGIT! read more

Came for lunch, it wasn't too busy, got quick our order super quickly and honestly I'm impressed. We got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich...which was fire!!!Definitely brings some heat but so delicious!! The wings are beyond yummy! We got them dry and had the house BBQ sauce and it definitely hit the spot!! read more

Well not bad but not great. Ribs were very tender but no smokiness to it. Wife got baked BBQ with pulled pork which had a decent amount of smoke, burnt ends were tender, and brisket which was ok. My daughter had the Nashville which was crispy and she really loved it. All and all not bad. read more

The customer service is phenomenal & the food is just as great. The vibes are casual and chill, with live music every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. The prices are reasonable & the patio area is nice for these cool summer nights with friends. read more

Food wasn't hot. Brisket was burned and difficult to bite through. Beans were cold but they did taste good. The fries we received were a bunch of small broken bits the top had some big ones but under they were small and not hot. The brisket sandwich was hard to bite through and the bun (although toasted) was cold. I really liked the chicken wings-it's a big order and a good value but a tiny amount of carrot and celery. Overall, not impressed butI really wanted to be! read more

Stopped by Crazy Gringo BBQ on my way to watch the Steelers game with friends and decided to grab some wings. I went with the sweet chili and buffalo, and both were outstanding. The wings were perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and traveled well. Everyone at the house loved them, which says a lot with a picky crowd. This is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to and recommending to others. read more

The food and service was amazing!! Had a party for about 80 people. The favorite was the brisket and sausage. Sooo good! Plenty of food and had some left overs. Will definitely use them again for a party! read more

this place was kind of industrial looking, the food was ok, nothing special, the sides are very small and the 17oz beer looked more like 12 ounces, however the beer was good. you have to buy your food and drinks separately since the BBQ and beer are separate entities. they had a band but they weren't very good either, really butchered Queen. all in all we probably won't go back read more

My wife and I stopped by CG-BBQ for lunch yesterday. There were not many people in the place; it was about 1:30 p.m. on a work day. I ordered a 1/2 rack of ribs, mac & cheese, and slaw. My wife had the pork belly burnt ends, a link sausage, and the same sides as I. A very pleasant server named Desi took our order and invited us to sit where we liked. We ordered our drinks from the Kings Brewry bar and waited for our food, which didn't take long to arrive. It was a large quantity of food, enough that we had leftovers to take home. Desi stopped by to tell us she was going on break but would stop by later to check on us. A young man brought out our food and asked if we needed anything else. Well, the ribs we fall-off-the bone tender and very meaty; I also really enjoyed the sauce. The mac & cheese had plenty of cheese, but was a bit bland; I think a sharper cheddar cheese and a bit more salt and pepper would improved its flavor. The slaw was quite good. My wife's pork belly burnt ends with that sauce were quite good; she also enjoyed the link. I also had a corn bread muffin; it was okay, but I probably wouldn't order it again. The bill, excluding the our two beers, was about $72 for the two of us. This price, the food quality, and the pleasant service Desi provided beats Lucille's hands down. I saw the bandstand and told Desi I had a band that plays locally. I told her we played at Pacific Wine Merchants down the street just last Friday. Desi immediately gave me the info for the person who books their bands and told my wife and me about the upcoming 2nd on 2nd Street event at which live bands are hired to play. Desi was a real gem. Overall, my wife and I had a great experience at Crazy Gringo BBQ. read more

AMAZING food and the Crazy Gringo BBQ team couldn't be nicer on top of it! I've been craving the pork belly burnt end tostadas and the green chili mac n cheese ever since! Can't wait to go back and try more. read more

A great place for smoked BBQ meats. They have ribs, brisket, pulled pork, street tacos, wings, angus burgers and my favorite are the burnt end tostadas. The meats are very tender and seasoned to perfection. Lots of great sides such as mac and cheese, coleslaw, fries and beans. They also have outdoor seating and live bands on Friday and Saturday evenings. read more

I wasn't gonna write a review but still disappointed w my order today Got brisket fries and have to agree with another reviewer, they are using tablespoons as measurement for meat I know ppl are trying to support small business and love the kings fam but the food just wasn't good Brisket was so salty and dry, hardly any bbq flavor at all Needed more chipotle sauce because they hardly put any on and they charged me for it. Like I get it but... I needed it to get thru the food.. Way over priced. read more

The minute we walked in the door we were greeted by a friendly young man, more than happy to help us in any way. We knew we wanted to try the pork belly. We were informed that they might take 30 minutes or so since we arrived at opening time. We tried the signature BBQ sauce wings. Delicious. Then came Desi, the most helpful, happy young lady going over the menu with us. We confirmed the pork belly was almost ready. The pork belly burnt ends with green chilie Mac n cheese was the best. Grabbed a couple "T" shirts for the memory, saw they had cornbread also, grabbed some for the road. This was an actual pleasant dining experience. Thanks Desi and all the others. Hope you guys open a spot in Northern CA read more

Cheap kbbq! Meat quality is decent and side dishes are all good! Been here twice now would definitely come again!

My husband had the pulled pork sandwich. I have never tasted pulled pork so tender and juicy and flavorful full of smoke. I ordered the wings dry with dips on the side. You could taste the smoke in the wings. They were huge wings. What was amazing is how accommodating everybody was. My husband forgot to tell them that he didn't want coleslaw on his sandwich. They took it back and made him a fresh one with no hesitation . The music was too loud for me because I'm 75 and they didn't hesitate to turn it down. I am actually going to order a tray of their pulled pork to serve at my Christmas party in December. By the way, the beans are amazing also. We will definitely go back again and again. read more

The best all around !! The new location is fire .. great environment! Beat service ever! Food is so delicious

Tried them Saturday for lunch. Very Disappointed!! First the potato salad contained 3 pieces of potatoes which were Rock Hard cut not cut with lots of mustard . Pork sliders meat cold, stringy and tough maybe contained a teaspoon of pork. Brisket Sand should have been called a Cole slaw Sandwich. It had about 1 1/2 Tablespoon of meat which was chopped small and was stringy, tough and crispy. I think to heat it they fried it in oil like carnitas. They did not have Salt and Pepper available, gave 1 thin napkin and no side of BBQ sauce. Hopefully this was just my experience and not everyone else's there. There really need a quality check. I Hope they evaluate and work out there issues to be successful. If your HANKERING BBQ, I would suggest Badlands BBQ, Domestic or Canyon City BBQ. I also suggest the kitchen manager to try these places to see the quality and portions they provide. read more

Food was good, not great, for the price. The food did come to us, nice and hot though. Odd that drinks (beers) were handled by a separate establishment, within the same structure. Definitely worth another visit. read more

Cool atmosphere, but cost of food wasn't worth it. 2 meat plate, and only one piece of Hawaiian roll?? The mac was very dry and the brisket wasn't even warm. Bit disappointing fir my first experience here. read more

The food was amazing! I got the jalapeño sausage with brisket. The brisket was very soft & easy to eat paired well with the bbq sauce. The sausage had so much flavor. I also got the smoked collard greens that I would definitely order again. My wife got the buffalo wings and they were some of the best wings we've ever had. Highly recommend! read more

The tacos, Mac n cheese & wings were delicious. Drinks were good and we loved the atmosphere!

This place is just what downtown needed and honestly the best bbq I've ever had from any restaurant! Rob made me the best smash burger I've ever had in my life! 10/10 recommend. read more

Went there Saturday night w some friends. My friend and I were not very hungry so we split the bbq burger w Mac n cheese. They accidentally brought us fries but let us keep them and brought the Mac we had ordered. It was DELICIOUS! the burger had so much flavor (I got no bbq sauce bc I don't like condiments) it was still super juicy and filling! The Mac n cheese had a little kick to it but it was good, I think it had jalapeños in it! Fries were great I mean they are fries! Will def be going back to try the tacos but the burger was by far incredible! My friends got a 2 meat bbq plate and she couldn't finish it and another friend got the double patty w brisket on top and he LOVED it! Def worth the hype and try! read more

The best BBQ in Upland .the brisket was perfect....can't to try the chicken wings. Friendly service

This is definitely going to be a new weekend regular for us, the food, the drinks, the live misic, the VIBES... 100/10 recommend! The experience begins as soon as you exit your car. With the smell of smoked bbq in the air, then the sound of the live music, & just like that your Friday night just got a whole lot better. We started with a round of drinks & the bar staff is awesome, very helpful & knowledgeable. We got our table & now it was time for the food. We ordered just about everything on the menu & let me just say BEST BBQ I'VE EVER HAD!! They're throwing it down in that kitchen. If you haven't been you'll have to go check it out & see for yourself. read more

Food was amazing! The atmosphere very inviting. The brisket melted in your mouth I highly recommend this place!
