    The Pig Sandwich
    Trinidad R.

    Always great to visit Firestone Grill. The wait was short after placing the order. Everyone treated us well. Great options for food. This time I had the Pig Sandwich which was so tasty and delicious. It was feeling I up taking half of it home. The burger was delicious as well. The atmosphere was relaxed although it was lunchtime and extremely busy the service and food came out quickly and sufficiently yet the food was delicious.

    A must visit, a true staple, they deliver every time. The best tri-tip sandwich and fries I've ever had. The tri tip is perfectly tender, the bread perfectly buttered and toasted, and the bbq sauce perfectly sweet and savory. The fries have a delicious seasoning on them and we dip them in ranch. The salads are hearty and filling as well. The kids don't love the kids menu items but we'll keep coming and there's always more than enough food to share. Be mindful that the kids burger has everything on it and they don't clarify that. I had to get a new burger as the sauce had eggs in it and there's an allergy. But the service here is quick and efficient- don't let the crowd or line deter you, they have it down. The ambiance is loud and busy but unless you're getting a drink and watching a game, you're not staying long.

    I've visited Firestone Grill before since there is a sister location back in my hometown, but I always love coming to this spot. Everything comes out fresh and piping hot every single time. It can be a little pricey, but it is consistently a great experience overall. Just a heads up: the location and parking lot gets packed, so be prepared to drive around and wait a bit for a table. On the bright side, the kitchen speed is insane our food took under five minutes to come out. Both the tri tip sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich are solid hits, and the fries are absolute perfection.

    Firestone Grill has the best tri- tip sandwiches! The cut of the tritip is cut perfectly and juicy especially with the barbecue sauce! Anyone I have met that has gone to SLO can't rave enough about Firestone tri-tip sandwiches! The bread is buttery and soft, and the tri tip paired with it is just perfect! It definitely fills you up! This was my second time coming to Firestone and I think coming here now is an absolute must when in the area. The service was quick, workers are friendly, and the vibe of the popularity of this place with plenty of seating is a win! Not to mention, after eating here ya gotta go out and do some shopping around!

    Dropped by for a quick bite to eat since our friend recommended trying out the tri-tip sandwich and I get the hype! Firestone Grill was massive. Lots of seating outside and inside although it was a bit noisy inside due to the game going on but we were able to order our food pretty quickly and get it quickly as well. I'm not a huge fan of tri-tip sandwiches but the one they have here is pretty good. The tri-tip is perfectly cooked, the bread is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the flavor was really nice. The fries were pretty good as well but pretty standard fries. I would recommend dropping by if you're in the area. The price is decent and the food portions are massive!

    This food is so fantastic here,I dream of their sandwiches. We had a trip sandwich and Asian salad. The service was fast and despite being packed we got our food timely. The "side" of fries is massive! I highly recommend this place!

    Came here twice in 2 days because the tri-tip sandwich is so good. The bread is fresh, complementing the tender and lean meat well. It's hearty. I've also had the salad and fries which are alright. The inside feels like a sports bar. Service is fine.

    Tri Tri-Tip Sandwich

    What an establishment! The tri-tip sandwich was delicious and a great value for the price. They definitely load on the tri tip. I also got the fries and a side of garlic bread. The fries were too salty for my taste, but everything else was really good. The burgers looked amazing too, and they were about half the price of the tri-tip sandwich, so I'll definitely be trying one next time. The line can get pretty long, but they move people through surprisingly fast. There's also plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so it never felt too crowded. Definitely worth the stop!

    Toasting our new granddaughter!

    Went here for some needed grub after my granddaughter was born! Got the Cobb salad with carnitas and it was huge and delicious! My wife got the pig sandwich and we split onion rings. Her sandwich was just the right amount of bbq sauce and delicious pork! The rings were good too! Enjoyed a couple of draft beers and watched little baseball and toasted our newest family member! Service was friendly and fast- bartender was pumped about our news! It's a bustling place but lots of seating at bar, tables and their big outdoor covered patio. We Will be back!

    Burgers are good! Juicy and fresh ingredients! Fries and onion rings are disappointing, tasted like re-fried many times. Probably is frozen fries and onion rings not freshly made.

    This was highly recommended by a local as a great, casual dining spot. The meat is cooked to perfection--tender, tasty, and lean. We were thrilled. The prices are reasonable and the happy hour is a must.

    Tri-Tip Sandwich

    I can definitely see why this place is so popular. The service is fast, straightforward, and the food gives you a lot for the price. We ordered the famous tri-tip sandwich, the Firebird, and a half-and-half basket of fries and onion rings. To be honest, we were both a little disappointed by the tri-tip sandwich. They give you a generous amount of meat, but the flavor was milder than expected, and the meat itself was slightly tough, which made the sandwich less enjoyable overall. The Firebird, on the other hand, was unexpectedly delicious. It is basically two chicken tenders in sandwich form, but the fresh toppings and Thousand Island dressing brought everything together perfectly. The true star, though, was the fries and onion rings. Seriously, just get them. We had not planned to order them, but the cashier convinced us and guaranteed we would not regret it--and he was absolutely right. The fries were definitely on the salty side, but in the best possible way. The onion rings were my personal favorite and easily the winner of the meal. What's not to like?--great value, quick service, and comfort food done right.

    We took a trip down to SLO for the three day weekend and my friend recommended trying Santa Maria BBQ. When we arrived, there was a line out the door and once we got in, we could immediately see why! They had a huge menu with very inexpensive offerings. Most burgers were under $10, which is rare these days. While I usually wish fries were included with the meal, I didn't mind because they had two sizes for $3 and $6, and they were both HUGE! The burgers were big too and very good. Definitely a hidden gem. Despite the long line, our food came out quickly. Everything was so good!

    Do you take reservations?

    No reservations, you order first then seating is first come first serve

    I am wanting to take my daughter there but she has food allergies to egg, dairy, and nuts. Does anyone know if their buns/rolls have egg and if their fries are in a dedicated frier? I tried calling but there is no way to talk to a live person.

    I wouldn't take the chance here, it's definitely not an allergy-friendly environment.

    I want to place a large order - how do I order in advance? The message machine says to go online, but online only allows for ASAP pickup. Can I order in advance?

    What is the best number to call, tried getting through on the phone number listed above but it goes to an answering machine?

    Last time I was there they told me they don't take orders online anymore . Hence no one picks up

    Is the bbq sauce gluten free?

    I am gluten sensitive, and sadly I think the answer to your question is No. hope this helps. If you need it to be I might call and ask also might want to think about what meat your choosing is it marinated, like in soy sauce? And is it gluten free.… 

    Hi, is there outdoor seating so we can bring our dogs? (They are NOT service animals)

    Yes, there is a big outdoor seating area at the very corner.

    Is there a separate fryer for fries? Reviews say the fries are gluten free but no mention of cross contamination with fryers. I tried to call but they must be super busy and can't make it to the phone.

    Sorry I don't know.

    Do they sell their bbq sauce?

    Pretty sure no. I have been there numerous times and don't see it as being available in the area where you can purchase t shirts, etc.

    Is it open in Christmas Day?

    Unfortunately, no.

    Is it dog friendly?

    Outside patio area only

    Are there gluten free options?

    I love getting the Tri-Tip Sandwich wrapped in lettuce! Such a great way to go GF. My favorite way to get around this issue is by adding a few fries and a whole bunch 'o BBQ sauce to the makeshift sandwich!

    Is this restaurant "safe" for someone with a severe peanut allergy?

    Yes. I have never seen a peanut here.

All the veggies were crisp and the blue cheese and blue cheese dressing was delicious. The tri tip was only okay. Some pieces were perfectly chewy and some were a bit overcooked and dried. I also got a side of the Mac and cheese and that never disappoints, just wish it was a larger side portion. My husband got the beef rib. It was tender and chewy. The side of bread made a perfect side for their delicious jammy pulled pork. Don't sleep on their tri tip chili. My husband has dropped by this place just to order their chili. There are no beans, lots of tri tip, and a savory rich meaty sauce. The staff are also very friendly. Some days this place has a lot of foot traffic and some days it can be a bit empty. So note that that may delay your wait time, especially if you are hungry. There's plenty of places to eat indoors and outdoors. We are glad this place is still around especially since they closed their location in Grover Beach. Still same delicious food.

I opted to do a trio with the bahn mi, tip o' Argentina, and the garlic fries. The food was good I forgot to take a picture! The tip o' Argentina was solid with the garlic aioli and the chimmichurri perfectly complimenting the steak and the lettuce and tomato adding a little bit of freshness. The buns they use for all of their sliders are soft, slightly sweet, and don't fall apart while you're eating. The Bahn Mi was even better. I love pork but was a little skeptical about pulled pork on a slider riffing on the flavors of a bahn mi. To my surprise and delight, it tasted just like grilled Vietnamese pork, which was perfectly complimented by the fresh and pickled veggies and surprisingly hot jalapeño. Finally, I got the garlic fries which were a massive portion, crisp, and very garlicky.

I got a Gouda Burger, the summer crunch salad, and garlic fries. My wife and kid also had a slider but did Italian Sprouts, mac and cheese with bacon, and sweet potato fries. The slider was good- tasty but a little messy to eat. Both servings of fries were really generous. The salad was a good mix of ingredients. However the mac and brussels sprouts were a bit disappointing. For some there is no such thing as too much bacon but for us both of these dishes definitely had too much bacon- so much that we left a lot of the bacon! And don't get me wrong, I do enjoy my bacon. Overall, a good concept but we'll definitely try some non bacon dishes next time!
