If you enjoy hazy IPA's, the Liquid Candy and the Harlen are great. They have plenty of sides to choose from and whoever is making them knows what they're doing. We will be adding this place to our regular rotation. Our sandwiches were so good that it may be a while before we work our way through the other items on the menu but I'm good with that. It's so hard to find a great bbq place and I'm so glad we found this one! 11 out of 10!!!

It has the middle American BBQ joint feel I ordered the Tri Tip Entre with fries and baked beans. They give you a lot of meat and it's delicious! The beans were also on point. But they gave me soggy fries!!! Failed on the easy part, otherwise it would have been 5 stars They have great outdoor seating, classic picnic tables. They also have indoor booths, tables and a bar you can sit at. Sports on the TVs. Parking lot in back with plenty of spots

This small shops serves up some really good barbecue. Hot tip: Come earlier in the day, if you…read morecan. Like at most BBQ places, they may run out of certain foods later in the day. You snooze, you lose. (Funny note: I was told, in no uncertain terms, that they were out of chicken and that I would get extra pulled pork. When I got home, I found a large piece of chicken.) The best option is the Sampler plate. You get six different proteins, three sides, and three Hawaiian rolls. The proteins are chicken, hot link, tri-tip, brisket, ribs, and pulled pork. I thought all of the proteins were very good but I especially loved the hot link. I could have eaten three of these alone. The sides are also very good. The mac and cheese and potato salad--both clearly house made--were excellent. The house made beans were ok but a little hard. I didn't love them. They have three BBQ sauces to choose from (spicy--marked with a giant "X" on the little cup, sweet, and regular. They are all delicious but you really don't need any of them. That is a sign of good BBQ. The sampler plate gives you a ton of food. At $56, it seems expensive but it is not. This plate easily feeds three people and you will probably have some leftovers. I drove 30 minutes one way for this, waited about 15 minutes, and drove another 30 minutes home. It was very much well worth it. Good BBQ is hard to find in SoCal but it exists, if you make the effort. And this is very good BBQ at reasonable prices.

Chicken tender n juicy and bun just big enough to enjoy chicken/bun ratio. Comes with 2 different bbq sauces on the side. Both great combo of flavors. Potato salad with unpeeled potatoes is how I enjoy it so was perfect for me. Staff very helpful. Ample seating indoor/outdoor but depending on wind blowing outside you may get smoke on your face from their smoker with outdoor seating. Smells really good though!

When I went in I was just going to get a slice of pizza for dinner cuz I went to the market next door.

I ended up getting the sausage sandwich on a roll and she asked if I wanted to have any extra veggies. I said make it the best way you know how. The tomato sauce was phenomenal it was full to the brim with cheese spicy sausage and phenomenal red sauce with onions spinach and red peppers added to it. Very flavorful! I will definitely be back.

There is a nice grocery store next door which sells local wines and a little boutique near by(only open Sat & Sun. There is also a small park just in the area so you have choices all around you! I'm sure to go back again. If you get hung up in traffic off the 15 take the Mission/Fallbrook exit and it's right off the old 395 hwy. Worth the stop. I want to try their Prime Rib Special after 4!
