Smelled great outside and good size portions. unfortunately the food lacked any kind of flavor. Was really hoping to like this place but it definitely did not sit well in my stomach afterwards. read more

We were hungry after driving around the lake and it was hot so we just wanted to grab something and we pulled into KFC and smelled the BBQ next door so we walked over and looked at the menu. There was so much I wanted to try but didn't want anything greasy so I choose the Smoked Turkey sandwich. It had bacon, avocado, lettuce and Mayo. OMFG the Turkey was delish. It was tender, had the smoked flavor and the bacon was crispy and avocado fresh. I can honestly say this is the best Turkey sandwich I have ever had. Fries were fresh not frozen and lightly seasoned. They were crispy and really good. Mike had the House Burger which he said made his top 5. He said the meat was flavorful, fresh patty not frozen and grilled to perfection. If ever in that area again we will definitely go back and will highly recommend. read more

We enjoyed some great ribs here while staying with some friends in Lake County. The cook on the ribs here was outstanding; tender, but not falling apart. Definitely competition quality! I know, the place doesn't look like much, but try it out. You won't be disappointed! My only criticism is there were too many flies in the dining area, which is all outside. We got our ribs to go, so there was no issue, but I don't think it would have been a pleasurable experience to eat at one of the tables. read more

I'm personally know the cook I really enjoy going here the pork sandwich is of the hook don't hesitate to eat here if you get a chance

Danny's Roadside Kitchen, a little bit of Midwest in Lake County. I think about "Smokey and the Bandit", when Bandit and Snowman came to the garage with 400 cases of Coors Beer, and Bandit called it "redneck Heaven." Maybe it is, but Lake County being what it is, they'd probably call Danny's redneck Heaven. Seeing the rating, you'd probably think that 4 stars is for the food. And you'd be right. I had the half-chicken with fries. The fries were just okay (I'm hard to please with fries), but dipping them in the sauce really helped. The chicken started moist, dried out as time went on, but you gotta expect that on a 95-degree day. Nice flavorful skin, meaty pieces, and the sauce added some good flavor to it. Can you tell I loved the sauce? Quite sweet, made everything taste better. But wait - there's more! There are sit-down restaurants in Clearlake, but they're quite out of place. This county is more of a Danny's place. A shack between Foster's Old-Fashioned Freeze and Long John Silvers, easy to miss as you speed north from the gateway to the Clear Lake area. Room for only 4 in the ordering area. Seating is all outside, either a small bar area against the front of the building, or the long picnic tables in the back. Thankfully, the back is shaded by red umbrellas that add a red tint to everything. No wait staff, no music in the background, no restrooms. Just you and your food. I go to southeast Texas a lot, and Danny's would fit in easily in places like Lumberton and Winnie. As i was enjoying my half-chicken, I thought about what my Yelp friends would think about this review. A good chunk of them would rather stay over the hill in Napa Valley. To be in towns with more trucks than Japanese imports, fishing for bass being a serious sport, skinny guys with beards and no shirts on, and barbecue joints like this would make them cringe and say "Trump voters!" As someone who supports President Trump, I realize that such a description is not a compliment. And I did visit Copperfield's Books in Calistoga on this trip, only to walk out in a New York minute when I saw what books *they* think we need to read. Just keep in mind that you're missing out on not only some real, unpretentious people who believe that all lives matter, but also on some downright good food at reasonable prices, and who cares what the eatery's setting is anyway? So if you go up to Clear Lake and drive up the east side, look hard for that small wooden shack, and pull in there for a meaty lunch you'll remember for a long time. And if you live in the area, you may already know about Danny's, so keep enjoying. read more

weird hours, door dashed within posted working hours went to pick it up the sign said open but door was locked when I called no one picked up lost money because I paid online and I tried to cancel the order but they wouldn't refund the full amount due to it being canceled so late after ordering. Not accurate read more

Dannys Roadside is one of those small town hidden gems, one you don't want to miss! I can say with much sincerity that after having been a customer here since its opening. It's a place I find myself recommending time and time again. read more

Danny's roadside has the best bbq anything you've ever had! Everyone needs to stop by here and grab themselves a delicious meal.

I ordered 2 types of tritip and I believe brisket and loaded garlic fries. The meat was over sauced and had a odd taste as well as alot of garlic and the loaded garlic fries were so garlicky that It was impossible to eat, I'm the type of person who eats garlic on everything even pickled garlic but on this food the garlic changed the taste of it completely. I asked for a refund and he yelled at me. I'm a very calm mannered woman and he took such offense to me asking for a refund he said I could have one and then started freaking out about my reasons for wanting one.until bullied me into not even coming to get it. Who does that.. It's overpriced And it's the quality of something you'd find at a potluck, or something your friends step-dad made. read more

Great roadside bbq, exactly as it should be. Nice hot bbq sauce, great portion, juicy sloppy on a nice bun.

Good ribs, pulled pork, & brisket. Had one of my parties catered by them and everything was delicious.

Wonderful BBQ and down home side dishes. They have great sandwiches, the best bbq ribs and shredded pork sandwiches. Their cobbler is so good I always bring some to go how with me. read more

This is definitely a Roadside restaurant if I ever saw one. Food was really good, but could easily be improved upon. My BBQ burger had barely any BBQ sauce on it, it was really good but where's the sauce? Pulled pork was delicious, but they should have let the juice run out before putting it on the bun. Meat lovers was good as well, however for both burgers they can make them smaller and save money because they're simply to big! Fries were good all around, and they have plenty of drinks to choose from. read more

One of the best pulled pork sandwiches I have ever eaten. I went back in after I was done an ordered a full rack + sides to take home for dinner and they were equally as delicious. Don't blink when you drive by this roadside bbq on Hwy 53, it's well worth your discovery. read more

Marginal really. Under seasoned, pretty much everything. Purchased: burger, pulled pork sandwich, pulled pork, brisket, mashed potatoes, beans and mac salad - it all needed salt. The meat was a bit dry, the sauce is just a sweet sauce and one note. Beans for sure come from a can. Mashed potatoes were dry. Definitely not worth the $80. Not even $20. Just boring. read more

I moved here from Santa Rosa and I have struggled with finding good food around here. But Danny's Roadside Kitchen is hmm hmm good! Haven't tried a burger but I love the ribs, the tri tip and half chicken! I also enjoy the garlic fries. The sauce is great too! I really like Carl and his wife, very nice good people! I could honestly say it's my favorite restaurant in Clearlake. read more

I Always order the tri tip dinner! Delicious flavor and large portions. Love their macaroni salad and homemade cobbler. Don't pass this little place by. read more

Great food! Super nice portions! One of my favorite places here in Lake county to get a burger.

The ribs are always great. Tri tp was good. Sides seem to be an afterthought. Bring back your brisket. It is better than the tri tip.

The best burgers ever . Very nice patio . I can't wait to try the ribs next time . Awesome cook on the grill .

This place is as described by all the other reviews. Casual, outdoor seating, amazing food. The quarter rack meal is what we got both times. After all, it was so good it was hard to try anything else. The ribs were juicy and fresh, delicious, fall off the bone with killer sauce. The slaw wasn't my favorite as I prefer sweet slaw. The fries were okay but the ribs made up for everything. Oh, the baked beans were delicious. The only thing I would change is a little more sauce (not much though) and some kind of bread or roll with the ribs. Comes with a nice dill pickle spear (second time they left it out by accident and we didn't have any at home :-( Love this place. Staff and cook were really friendly as was that sweet ol dog. Will keep going back. read more

A small road side BBq place with out door seating and what looked like a big following and all were familiar I'm the small town. I had a BBQ tri tip sandwich with mushrooms and cheese pickle and fries. My friend had a BBQ sandwich which basically was the tri tip with BBQ sauce. The meet was tender and fresh, the fries were real potatoes and the portions was huge. The bread makes the sandwich too. If I'm ever back in town definitely gonna stop again read more

My husband and I stopped in a week ago and were very impressed. I ordered a French Dip and, it was the best sandwich I'd ever had. Hubby was equally impressed. We will definitely return. I went by today but they were closed due to a new smoker being installed. I'll be back :) read more

Kinda small and definitely hot but worth it after the taste of bbq you ever seen this place you'd not expect it but dynamite

It's been a few years since my first visit. He was just starting then and basically a one man show. He's still behind the grill and counter and still putting out darn tasty Que. It's a simple shop with a few seats outside-inside is for ordering and paying. Tri-tip sandwich with coleslaw (creamy and a little tang) was generous and soucy good. read more

Stopped in to grab some dinner on the way to the hotel and settled on the half chicken dinner that comes with 2 sides,I chose baked beans and potato salad for 11.99 This dinner is definitely enough to share(or stuff yourself) The chicken was very tasty with just enough smoke, the potato salad and beans were pretty good as well..oh and I cant forget the sauce! A zesty sauce with a little spice. All in all a good meal,with prompt friendly service. Will definitely return when in the area. read more

The coleslaw was FANTASTIC! I also had Danny's Sandwich which had thin slices of tri-tip, peppers, cheese, kinda like a Philly cheesesteak and was great. My dad said his pulled pork sandwich was excellent. Very nice staff, I will definitely be back when visiting family in town and would recommend trying if you enjoy BBQ. read more

First visit to this hidden gem. Very unassuming from the outside with a small sign that I almost missed, but I'm so happy I didn't. The fresh cut fries were flavorful and cooked perfectly. The pulled pork sandwich was huge, tender and delicious. Throw in the quick friendly service and there is no doubt that I will be back here my next time passing through. read more

I was passing thru on my way north. Stopped for a lettuce wrap. Ended up getting a 'Whatever Burger' made into a lettuce wrap. I got this order to go. I waitind about 20 mins or so. When my order was ready the meat burger was dry and the fries were very bland. I wasn't impressed at all and doubt ill visit Danny's again. read more

Good food, friendly owners. The only seating is outside, and it's a little noisy with the highway right there, but I think it's worth it. We had the tri-trip and it was so tender and flavorful. Great little roadside restaurant read more

Danny's Road Side Kitchen has AMAZING food for decent prices. I wish they had longer hours, but overall one of my favorite places to eat.

Small business, but great food! Always fast service and nice people. Would highly recommend.
