Just horrible, ordered a combination platter and the Brisket was not grilled. The meat was greasy and very fatty with no flavor whatsoever. The BBQ sauce was in little containers. I called the young lady and she told me to leave a review...LOL. On top of that there were no cornbread muffins. I called a second time and was given a full refund. read more

This spot is where it's at!! Everything I've tried so far is so good!! Hands down best friend catfish in town. Yams are always a hit. As well as the Mac and cheese. Highly recommend. And it's open during all this Covid-19 madness. read more

Gram's BBQ - Fried Catfish Dinner - Soul Food Near Me - Riverside, California

My wife and I ordered from this place and everything was amazing. The delivery was fast, the people on the phone were so nice and the food. The. Food. It was so so good. We had chicken and ribs and both were incredible. The sauce was perfect, everything was cooked so well. As sides we had bbq beans and Mac and cheese. The beans were the best we've ever had and you can tell the Mac and cheese tasted like homemade. Best ever. read more

Marc n I were here last night. Been here before and food was delicious. They may have changed hands or something as the food was okay. I had wings, Marc had catfish. The catfish was strips and not as good as previous as the were not as tender and overcooked as were the wings. The okra and potato salad was delicious. read more

I am in Long Beach but make the drive to Riverside just for this. This food is absolutely amazing and I can never wait to return!! My favorite is the catfish dinner plate with candied yams and Mac n cheese. In fact I haven't been able to get myself to try anything else because of how much I love it. These are family recipes and they are delicious. I can't praise this restaurant enough! read more

I like BBQ went there food was good but the service was bad I came In I was treated like I just walked into some strangers house without knocking I approached the cashier he starred at me for a minute before taking my order was not very welcoming I asked if they had Cornbread,ordered Cornbread got home opened the box they gave me a slice of Cold white bread read more

I used to love grams, but please fix your time. Have been waiting g for late night after work for grams, but kis conformation sucks.

This place says it's been voted the best BBQ by the Press Telegram... But I'm starting to think the people that voted don't know much about BBQ. Ordered the brisket sandwich, which is usually where a BBQ place proves their worth and this place failed dramatically. The cuts were not smokey at all, just tasted bland. You can tell they don't change the oil they fry food in as my okra and fries all had a taste of fish. And to top it all off my soda was mostly ice. Not coming back for sure. read more

Good food and portions. Tia kills it on customer service. Parking is only a dollar to those complaining about it. Parking costs money just a heads up for those who aren't accustomed to operating a vehicle in a downtown area. read more

Honestly, the ribs was is disgusting had a lot of fat it was burnt it was cold and it wasn't cheap for two ribs 20 something dollars it was cold and never coming back here honestly place is a joke read more

Fantastic brisket and oysters! Catfish is good too! Worth the drive from the desert!! Came in the day after Thanksgiving. Service was fast and courteous! read more

Ordered the rib, brisket dinners and hot links. Nice small and cozy place and the girl at the counter wearing the Santa hat was very friendly. The ribs and brisket were very tender and the ribs pulled away from the bone cleanly. Both meats lacked flavor (need more seasoning) and no smoke flavor was detected. Get rid of the hot links they were really awful tasting. PS. I am an off duty Food Inspector for Riverside County and there was drinking of beverages in the food prep area as well as no one wearing hair nets or hats and the only one wearing food safety gloves was the young black kid. I would take immediate action on these items if I were you Ms. Owner. Booths need to be cleaned and sanitized after each guest. I don't grade sides because they are usually just tolerable in most instances. read more

First and last time coming here ... family pack was dry , no sauce , not one piece had BBQ Sauce on them, over cooked. Very disappointed I spent 80$ here. At least the greens were good but do better Grams read more

Oh, my what a surprise. I loved everything about this place. The food was amazing and the service/staff was friendly too! I had the pork ribs and pulled pork dinners. Every bite was a party in my mouth. Don't miss out. The ribs are so tender, they just melt in your mouth. The meat is seasoned to perfection and the coleslaw is so sweet and tasty. Grams is the real deal you owe it to yourself to check them out. read more

Definitely not worth the cost nor your time. Pretty expensive (50 for two) but that would be ok if it's solid BBQ but it's not. Pulled pork was way over sauced buddy said brisket was same... wouldn't even finish it. Sides not good... canned BBQ beans and cole slaw was inedible. They told us at the table - after our purchase - that they "ran out of corn bread" but since it was complimentary (it's not - it's on the menu) we wouldn't get anything in return. Don't spend your hard earned money at a place that doesn't even try. read more

I loved the Beef Brisket and BBQ Baked Beans. The Beef Brisket was tender and tasty. Served good portion for a dinner size plate. Lunch plate is like a small size snack portion but dinner plate served a lot more. If you are really hungry order a dinner plate from menu. read more

The food was amazing! I got the Pork Rib dinner with Mac and Cheese & Candied Yams + Corn Bread! Pork Ribs were tender and fell off the bone! Mac and Cheese was so savory and delicious! Candied Yams were soft and sweet! Only downside is that being a disabled person with a Service Dog that was clearly vested and working, they denied my working dog access. I do hope they learn to comply with ADA laws in the future to avoid any legal problems. (-2 stars) read more

This is my favorite place to go for a pulled pork sandwich. I always tell myself to try more menu items but I just can't go here without getting my fix. I recommend having it with the cole slaw. Among the sides, the potato salad is the best. It's creamy and you can taste the ingredients. This time around, my mom and I were totally wowed by the sweet potato pie! It's normally great by tonight that was the MVP of an already great meal! The restaurant itself is one of those good hole-in-the wall places that runs based on he quality of their great food. Don't expect amazing customer service (some of the cashiers can be rude) but the food totally makes up for it! Come ready for a lot of food too. The portions are very generous. read more

I work right across the street and had already been looking to conquer any eatery that barbecues beef. So after checking out a art event, my Son we enjoy the weather and walk the block or 2. He was ready and slobbering for a Fried Green Tomato Sammy, yum. My smart Son ordered well. That thang was a monster. Like your Grandmas biggest, juiciest tomatoe from the patch on your plate....but cornmeal coated and deep fried. It was on a large round wheat bun, with lettuce and mayo. The slices, I hear were manly...almost meaty. My Son chose fried okra as his side and they included a little mixed veg. I went for the lunch Beef Rib plate, which came with 1 side. I picked the mac n cheese. Usually that never misses. This time it did. It did have steam coming from it, but it looked old and beat. They used a long macaroni noodle, and a cheesy gravy, with jalapeños. There was hard melted yellow cheddar on top. Hmmmm. They also provided me with a lil mix veg, sorry to say it went untouched. Now the BEEF. Okay, I am a avid griller, I know my meat. There was no carmelization on neither bone or fat of the rib, which indicated it was Not grilled. They tried to slather it in a sweet layerless sauce to make up for the meat texture, which felt like the consequences of being boiled. Possible oven baked after. No And NO. I wasnt even full. Ive decided to give their po boy a try in the future, but no Sur or Mam on the beef ribs. When we walked in it took about 10 min to be greeted. The price was aroun 27 bucks. The restaurant is clean and quaint. There were 2 other patrons. read more

Brisket was dry might have been the days before brisket. Macaroni had something green in it twice.......

Delicious home cooked food. I came in during my 30 minute lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of people that were also in the restaurant. I was concerned i wasn't going to have enough time to eat, but once i ordered it must of only been 5-7 minutes before my food was out. I ordered a shrimp poboy lunch special with Mac and cheese as my side, i added a drink and my total was $16, which i think is extremely reasonably priced for a seafood lunch, side, and fountain soda If you're in the area, please stop by. Service is great and so is the food read more

Good BBQ food I've had, not a fan of their cornbread, a bit too dry, but overall really good. Very nice staff.

Amazing pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. The girl in the front was also very kind, and had good recommendations. Would definitely recommend people to stop by and check it out, the fried okra was stellar ! read more

I ate there today the potatoes salad was great so was the mac and cheese but the hot links was not good at all will never order them again

Today I had some of the best BBQ of my life. Not only was the food amazing but I had the privilege of hearing an old American story of how Robert (Grams) started or won the place. If you are in the area it's an absolute must stop, and if you see Grams ask him how he won the place. My buddy Rob thanked him and played a little harmonica for him. read more

This place is ok. The bark on the ribs was a little bitter and the collards were a little bland. I wouldn't suggest putting cabbage with collards because of the amount of water cabbage holds. Corn bread muffin is dry and dense as well. The Mac needs salt, smoke flavor, or some spice to it. I had high hopes because of the smell but a little disappointed. Customer service was great though and I felt welcome inside. Shouldn't take 20-25 for BBQ when they first open as well. read more

Been wanting to eat here for awhile now, but kept forgetting about it. So glad I remembered today, reminds me of driving through the South when I drove OTR. Grams nails it, the greens, Mac n cheese!!!! Maaan, the greens were delicious a lot of barbecue places don't have greens which round my whole experience! Stop by Grams and in joy some REAL soul food and some real Southern Barbecue!! read more

This is my second check in here in 2 weeks! The food is delicious! But they only get 3 stars because they are constantly running out of key food items. And often times the cashier takes your order unaware of which foods they are out of. The chef cane and explained that they restock on Mondays when they're closed so they often run out of a few things on weekends. Well weekends are their busiest days and they should be better prepared for that. It's disappointing to have your taste set on something on the menu to be told they are out. Get a better food ordering system and review your inventory process. That would help move you to a 4 star. read more

Good bbq and sides. Definitely hits the spot when you don't feel like cooking a whole soul food meal.

Went on 10.1.2022. Ordered the catfish plate with a side of baked beans and an order of Pork tips with baked beans. The portions were perfect. The flavors were excellent. We sat outside on the patio in befitting weather. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. read more

A couple of us visited this place on Friday night shortly after 7pm. My friend ordered the tri-tips and I ordered the slamming sides. The food was delicious and the staff were very helpful and nice. The staff really take care to explain what you are going to get and how it's cooked. I am a vegetarian so that's good information for me to know. I selected the collard greens, yams, and vegetables. My friend had potato salad and I will get that one the next time because it was soooooo good. We also noticed not to many people eating inside, but alot of people seemed to order to go. Either way the place seems very popular and my friends and I are definitely coming back!!!!! read more

Great service and delicious ribs . Very tasty and moist ribs and brisket. Will be a regular here for sure . read more

Gram's BBQ - Combination dinner 2 entree /any 2 sides and 2 cornbread muffins - Soul Food Near Me - Riverside, California

If I could give them zero stars I would. My husband ordered online at 4:53pm and they took a whole hour. When he asked the lady what was going on why was it taking so long, she said she never printed his ticket. And then had to reprint it. Terrible service not to mention he spent 70$. I don't think this place is good. Especially not to wait an hour. Just like they don't get my business. They'll never get my husbands again either. EVER read more

Smells sooo good, too bad I didn't get to eat the food! Stood there for 10 or 15 minutes for someone to come up and tell me "you can't order off that menu after 10pm" when the couple in front of me, that kept changing there minds for the last 10 to 15 minutes. Soooo you're telling me because the cashier couldn't say anything and apologize that it took soo long or even taken my order as the last order, because she told the couple in front of us if they "wanted off the menu that ended at 10pm they should order NOW" was just really upsetting. Smells : 10/10 Customer service / communication : 00/10 Sorry, but maybe I'll get to try it another time. But we got great pulled pork at Pig Pen Delicacy read more

I. am. speechless. This was absolutely amazing! I was dreading trying something new because I always end up dissatisfied, but this place just gave me hope. Will definitely be back for more! Keep up the great work you guys. read more

Before I get into the food, I first want to comment on the girl taking our order. What's her deal? She was having a bad day or wth? She had some shitty ass attitude towards my girl and I when we were trying to be friendly. And the reason I say this is because after use 3 other black couples ordered and she was all god dam friendly, and soon after some other non-black couple came in to order and she gave the same vibe to them. I rarely mention workers service because I understand how some days are just off, but this was to noticeably disturbing I had to mention it. Any who, the food itself I had mix emotions about it tbh. The hot link was dry and tasted old which came with a sorry ass hot dog bun. Our sides also were cold and tasted mediocre maybe because they took forever to give us our order, which made no sense since we didn't even order so much food. O yea did I mention that even the people that ordered a whole ass family meal after us got there meal before us which made no sense. I was legit about to pass out of how hungry and hot it was in their building. For the beef ribs we got, they were good but nothing crazy meat didn't fall off the bone was very chewy. Low key I'll go to dickies before I go to this place again. The food didn't even look so good so I decided to not even take so many pics. I couldn't do that my fellow yelpers eyeballs save you guys a trip to the orthodontist. That being said, my dank review will be a 5.6/10 read more
