If you're looking for yummy, grubby, messy bbq that you can smell the second you step out of your vehicle, this is your place. I read a review that said if they could give a 10, they would. When it comes to the grilling here, I wholeheartedly agree. I ordered the bbq chicken sandwich, tots, and coleslaw. The sandwich was as delicious as it was messy; the sandwich had huge, white piece chunks of chicken- moist, seasoned, and flavorful, through and through. I requested the sweet sauce on the sandwich and hot on the side. Both were solid, but for me, I'm team sweet. The tots were outstanding. Do not underestimate them. The coleslaw was good- fresh, nice tang. Amazing staff, love the artwork inside. There's a reason WHY they're 4.7 out of 5. They're that good. read more

I feel like this place is the only locally owned bbq spot on the East Valley. My hubby has been here several times and he loves it. I was here yesterday 1/16/26. The place is on Requa and Indio Blvd. Across .. the storage place. Ambiance was chill - maybe typical hipstery rib shack? Im not sure. Noise level is average. The space is bigger there I expected. The service was impeccable. This is what I got: 3 meat 2 sides plate (tri-tip, bbq chicken and sausage, bbq beans, salad and chipotle Mac n cheese) 8 oz dev. pot sal. 16 oz chip. Mac n cheese 16 BBQ beans Tri Tip Chili I can't speak on the meats because I didn't have any straight up. I'm more of a rib gal anyway, and this place doesn't have any... at least not on the online menu. The tri tip chili was bomb. It had squares if cornbread in it too. *Chefs kiss*. Very savory. I did add my own sharp cheddar later because I love chili with cheddar. Chipotle Mac n Cheese was yummy! I expected it to have a bit of a kick, but it wasnt spicy. It just adds a layer of deliciousness to it. BBQ beans were good. They were a bit firmer then others I've had in the past. Not to my liking, but overall still yummy. Last but not least, the deviled eggs potato salad tastes exactly as it's title. I love deviled eggs. I'd actually use this as the stuffing in a deviled egg. Matter face think I'm gna do that this afternoon! Lol I definitely recommend this place. First, because it's local so I know that money is going back into the community. Secondly because their BBQ is solid from what hubby said and their sides are tasty. Service is great too. Oh, aaaaand, I can be there from my house in 15-20min. The only reason I gave them a 4 star is because there isn't anyone this side to compare with and I can't get here during the week day (the close at 2 or 3 on Monday-Thurs). Anyhow, hit them up if you're in Indio. PS... Sorry! I only got a pic of my 1/3 eaten tri tip chili because I forgot to take pics of the rest before it was gone. *Oopsie* read more

Excellent BBQ!! We stopped in after being excused from jury duty. What a great find. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the place is clean and had some great music playing. We ordered the trip-tip sandwich and a rack of bbq baby back ribs. Both were smoked and cooked to perfection. The tri-tip was flavorful, tender, and tasted great with their own bbq sauce on top. The ribs were flavorful, tender, and pulled right off the bone. We will definitely be back and would like to try their other meats (chicken, etc). Go try this place for sure!! read more

All week, I was thinking to myself, "Where could I order up and take home delicious bbq to enjoy on a Friday evening?"I heard some positive comments about CV BBQ. I phoned in my order, which was promptly taken without hassle. I enjoyed the chicken meal with two amazing sides. The chicken meal is tender, slow cooked, with a hint of oakwood bbq flavor. Truly an amazing chicken bbq dinner or lunch meal. I admit that CV BBQ is now my favorite bbq chicken meal in the Coachella Valley. Hands down ,exceptional ! My side orders equally meritorious positive remarks. The beans were slightly sweet and full of flavor. My other side, Mac & Cheese, delicious with a chipotle flavor! My dining companion enjoyed the wonderful flavor and preparation of the tri-tip meal. The tri-tip is perfectly prepared. You will not be disappointed. Fellow yelpers also give the tri -tip high marks for flavor and tastes. Our meals were so delicious and enjoyable. I was focused on the flavors and delight. Sorry, I neglected to snap a quick photo of our dinner meal. Too late, my meal was partially devoured. Fellow Yelpers have posted several photos of CV BBQ meals and offerings to make your mouth water for delicious bbq and sides. As you enter the eatery, you can feel the warmth, pride, and care for this close-knit eatery with a "family-run" feel. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, organized, pleasant, and very clean. Staff members, Prisciilla and Adrain greeted me with a warm and friendly smile. I felt truly appreciated for coming into their wonderful piece of bbq heaven. Kudos and a huge "thank you" to Priscilla and Adrian for their awesome customer service skills! As you enjoy your meal, you can taste the pride, heart, soul, and passion of this eatery. They love their craft of making elevated -tasting special bbq, and offering their creation to the community. If you enjoy bbq, eat here! read more

The hours of business are crazy, it is off the beat and path in Indio , and the bbq menu is very unusual. We first wanted to go one Sunday but they are closed Sunday and Monday. It's clean and cute to dine in but it's very confusing to try and order the first time you visit because the items are by the pound and half pound. The young girl at the counter was very sweet but she couldn't answer any questions about amounts. So we ended up ordering way too much sausage which wasn't our favorite. A half pound would have been enough. There were three of us dining at home. The potato salad was exceptional followed by the Mac and cheese , tri tip-, and the spicy bbq sauce. The beans were good but a tad sweet .the chicken was boneless thighs which might be better in a sandwich than eaten alone. I thought the garlic bread, slaw, and the corn were just ok. It's far to drive so I'm not sure if we can dine there too often. read more

Absolutely my FAVORITE bbq between here are Corpus Christi Texas where we also have a home. Employees are ALWAYS super sweet and helpful. They always check to be sure you are enjoying your order. My only request is that they switch to paper for the hot beans and mac n cheese. I try not to eat hot stuff out of plastic. Only eat the center part where it does not touch the plastic. But it wouldn't stop me from eating here. They could serve it to me on a bed pan and I would be happy. read more

Landed here at the restaurant because the one we wanted to go to was too busy and I'm so glad that it was because this place is a hidden gem. You walk in and you are greeted by pretty much all the workers that are working out in front. When I asked the young lady taking the orders she answered my questions. Thank you. The restaurant is small but has a lot of seating and things to look at. When receiving my food it was laid out on this pan and everything tasted delicious!!! The pulled pork was soft and juicy, the brisket pulled apart just right, and flavor was lovely. With the added BBQ sauce that is on the table spicy and sweet made the meat taste that much better. Would love to come here again and try the other meats and sides. The only thing I wish they had was a soda fountain but other than that, great place and everyone should try. Thank you again read more

We just stopped here for lunch on the way from Phoenix to LA and wow, are we glad we did!!! It is not far off the freeway(5min) and is worth the very slight detour. The space is clean and welcoming. The service staff is super friendly and seems to truly care. But above all else, the BBQ is so delicious! We got the 3 meat plate with 2 sides (we shared). We had the tri-tip, pulled pork, and bbq chicken. The tri-tip was smoky, very tender, and so tasty. The pulled pork and the chicken were equally delicious. Like really, really delicious. The slaw and potato salad were good but not the star of the show, which was ok by me. The plate also came with super yummy garlic bread . If you are driving through and want something quick that is leaps and bounds above fast food, stop here! This will be our regular stop on our road trips to LA! (Note: closed Sun and Mon!) read more

we looooooove cv bbq...so much we take our staff here often!!! every single choice on sean's menu is da-bomb super yummy!!!!

When we think BBQ, we think low-and-slow cooked meats. This is more of a grilling place. Staff was welcoming and did check in on us from time-to-time. Chicken - Nice char on the outside, but dry. Tritip - moist and tender, but lacked seasoning. Pulled pork - inedible due to what seemed like a shaker of salt being dumped into it. Linguica - Good smoked sausage. Mac&Cheese w/Chipotle - Sounded interesting, but the chipotle sauce was overpowering. Coleslaw - Excellent flavor and crispness. Beans - Good. Potato Salad - Bland. Buttered toast - Also inedible due to the amount of salt. read more

I had CV bbq cater my event and we had 60 people. We had plenty of food and lots of leftovers. The food was fantastic. I personally liked the tri tip but the pulled pork was the one that won as the favorite. We had beens, corn and the mac and cheese was really good. The mash potatoes went fast and next time I'll need to order a second tray of that. they were on time to setup and they also plated the food for everyone and that made the line go quick so no ones standing in line to long for food. Defiantly best caterer I've used here in the desert and highly recommend them, and if you planning an event and want everything to go smooth and have great food. You found the right place. The food in the restaurant is exactly the same and really good. read more

I'm not a big fan of BBQ, but I really liked the Marf sandwich from here. Glad I gave it a try!

The best try tip sandwich in the desert. The home made chili is so fresh. And the corn bead is a treat. Very friendly staff.

Absolutely delicious! I will still be making trips to Bubba's for the Mac Daddy, and their brisket, but this will be my new "I feel like BBQ" place. The meats are usually the highest point in any BBQ place. Pulled pork a hair dry, but great taste. TriTip was tender. Using Linguiça (instead of the usual hotlinks) is kind of original, in a good way. They were a bit spicy and went well with the hot BBQ sauce. But really, it's the sides. Thick, sticky Mac & Cheese, full of sharp white cheddar bite. Molasses flavored beans that stuck together in clump. Brought back memories of my father's Boston Baked Beans from long ago. Roasted corn "off the cob" was as good as any upscale Mexican restaurant. I put a bit of Cotija on it when I got it home. Service was quick, friendly and efficient. Got my to-go order in five minutes. Will be back soon. read more

Absolutely delicious! Had the chicken and my sister had the tri tip. Both were fantastic! Homemade potato salad! Yes please. The gal that took our order was adorable and so nice. Love this place!! Cute little area to sit and eat too. Just perfect! read more

I found CV BBQ on Yelp while on a road trip to California. We were hungry but wanted something different than the usual fast food chains off the I-10. This was the best tri-tip sandwich I've ever had. The spicy barbecue sauce had the perfect amount of spice without being overpowering. My husband enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich with a side of bbq beans. The pulled pork was flavorful and not dry like it tends to be at other bbq restaurants I've tried. The inside of the restaurant was clean and welcoming. read more

I usually order from CV BBQ one a month at minimum and it is by far the best BBQ in the valley. The tri tip is phenomenal, the chicken is top notch and I usually end up getting the pulled pork all full pound orders plus the sausage as part of combo plate because you can't pass up on it either. All of the sides are incredible so you can't miss with anything you order. My orders have always been correct and fast plus their service is excellent. You won't regret stopping here or ordering food to go. read more
