Three Prime Rib Beef Ribs?
Michael R.

We have lived in Chino for over 30 years and Joey's BBQ has always been an awesome BBQ spot. Back in the Johnny Bennett days, if y'all can remember the singer in the patio you are an OG. Well, those days are gone. Went Friday night to revisit Joey's before taking our friends there next week. Glad we did, what a disappointment. As much as we raved to them about the amazing Joey's food, that would have been embarrassing. Not even close to what it once was. Food came out quick, probably because it was already sitting on a plate. The ribs hardly had any meat on them, baked potato was hard lol the corn on the cob was boiled to death...mush on a cob! $43 dollar mediocre meal. My wife's pulled pork sandwich was not very good and her corn was also murdered. We raised the flag for more garlic bread which took 20 minutes to hit the table. What a bummer, sad to see such a once great place head downhill. Total for Rib plate, pulled pork sandwich and two Michelob Ultras $84 ouch! Wouldn't mind if was Joey's BBQ of days past. I guess the only thing that stays the same is that everything is always changing. :( Does anyone know if the Ownership has changed?

Definitely not the same plate!!!!!  As they claim.

Went last week and the food and customer service were great. So, I was craving more. I went back a week later to satisfy my craving and ordered the exact same meal, as prior visit (baby back ribs and a burnt ends plate) and I got this (see pic below) Undercooked and not as good as prior meal, by any means. They tried to convince me that it was all in my head and it was the same plate. Also, ordered a plate of burnt ends / Delicious on 1st visit but was soooo fatty and gross today. Won't be back, ever. Instead of comping 4 little pieces of ribs (1 of 4 racks) for the inconvenience, I was still charged. You decide / Does this look like the same meal to you? Didn't think so. Interestingly enough, I typically don't take pics of my food but happened to absolutely love the taste of the ribs. So much so, that I had to show my friend how amazing these ribs were (1st visit). I showed this pic to the waiter of how different the same order looked and he was very helpful, but I was not going to convince him that these ribs were horrible and NOT what I expected. Too much money to have to risk these inconsistencies from one week to another. In final, I don't mind spending on good food, but this is not acceptable and not professionally handled.

SO SO SO GOOOOD, I am so sad that I live far away so I can't come back as often as I wish I could! The service was slow because they were really busy and didn't have many hands on deck but still pretty good besides that! There's such a cute spot outside and I heard there's live music some nights, inside is super homey and cute I loved it! The food was delicious, the baby back ribs the brisket, Fire! I would have to say I don't recommend getting the corn but the corn bread, stole the show I ate it so quick I forgot to snap a picture of it! I can't wait to be back!

Super super solid bbq place in the area. The service is prompt and very good. Ambiance wise - it's what you'd expect. It's a classic American joint and the decor speaks just that :) Highly recommend

Brisket
Michelle P.

The last 2 trips to Joey's were just okay. I took my friend and our brisket sandwiches were dry.

Food is great I travel from echo Park to this place looking for great food and I got it. Service is great attentive and friendly, don't have to stress about parking. Is a home feeling type of place and the sweet tea. Is great must try.Im thinking this is a hidden gem type of place where only locals come I did notice the take out orders were none stop. Will be returning for sure. I even had to get some to go is that good.

Dry brisket

The brisket was super dry, and the pork ribs were both chewy and dry. After that, we didn't even bother with the chicken. The beans were also disappointing. While the corn on the cob and watermelon appetizer were good, I still wouldn't recommend it. We came home with a lot of leftovers. It has come down since the last time we came.

3 STARS Joey's BBQ in Chino has a very Texas-BBQ feel to it with the outdoor seating in the patio, and the indoor decor inside the restaurant. We went a little later in the evening on a Saturday, and might have gotten the slim pickings for what was left at the end of a long day of BBQ, so I might try to go a little earlier in the day next time. I ordered "The Works" ($55.25), which came with ham, beef, chicken, beef rib, pork ribs, and country sausage link. It was basically a sampler platter - and I figured this was the best way to try all of their meats. The best items on that platter were the chicken and surprisingly, the ham. We thought both the beef rib and the pork ribs were dry, and same thing with the sausage link. The 2 side dishes we got with "The Works" were the mac & cheese, BBQ beans, and a 4 piece side of cornbread for an extra $6.90. We enjoyed the cornbread the best out of these 3 side dishes, and will likely try to order other 2 new side dishes next time we visit. We weren't big fans of either the mac & cheese nor the beans. The real star of the show for us though was the Peach Cobbler dessert that we ordered at the end ($9.75). I would come back just for that cobbler with the ice cream on top. I really enjoyed the ambience, service, and the music. I just wish that food wasn't as tough. Like I said, we will probably go try to visit earlier in the day next time and hope for a better experience.

Brisket
Casey I.

The food was only fair. The brisket had a good taste but it was dry. The mac n' cheese was super dry. The sauce wasn't cheesy or strong. The pickled onions were amazing, wanted more to eat with my brisket. The baked beans were too sweet. My boyfriend ordered sausage, a rib and brisket. The sausage had dirty smoke taste, which was a big let down for him. He loved the rib! He agreed that the brisket was too dry. The cornbread was the hero, it tasted amazing!! The service was okay. There was a screaming kid at another table. There isn't much decor at the restaurant. For a barbecue place to be this expensive but only have fair food is disappointing. It's their specialty and it was a let down.

The food here is delicious. We went to pick up honey down the road and had seen Joey's on Yelp so we decided to stop and I'm sure glad we did. Service was great and there are places to sit outside which is very nice but since it was cold we sat inside! And they have really good drinks! I had the burnt end sandwich which was fantastic! And the Mac n cheese one of the best I've had!

Are there a la carte options on the meats?

Yes there is a la cart options.

Is there dine in yet?

Yes, they have reopened for dine in!

My family 3person include a girl,how much for lunch?

It's not your typical bbq spot on regards to the menu. They have a selection of combos to choose from. They are decent sized so you might be able to get away with sharing 1 and adding extra side of meat.

Are there gluten free options? Cross contamination is ok

No, there's is no gluten free options.

Is there happy hour there?

Yes there is happy hour Tuesday-Friday from 2-6! Half off of appetizers and great deals on drinks!

I couldn't even hear the person across from me that I came with to eat dinner nor could I hear the server either. The restaurant was so excruciatingly loud that it genuinely caused bad ear pain and a headache so we left before ordering anything else besides water. Completely ruined the entire experience. And for reference I don't have any hearing problems and I'm in my 20s, so if I can't hear what the person directly next to me is saying then there's a problem here. It was so crowded and full of loud drunk people. Incredibly overwhelming. This place needs better max capacity laws in place or if they actually have them they're definitely not following them here. Also the inside set up is like a labyrinth. It's a confusing half open concept to the outside, half inside, and all very overstimulating. None of the staff seemed concerned at all with the hundreds of people overfilling the restaurant loudly speaking/yelling. This is unacceptable to be honest. I just wanted to come here to have a nice dinner after a long day at work and I couldn't. Beware of the noise especially if you have children or older people in your party; we didn't have either but I can't imagine how they'd feel in this chaotic environment. Btw, sitting outside won't change or help this fact either as it was also extremely overcrowded and nearly just as loud as well. 1/5 stars. Please manage your capacity better because it's driving customers away. This is supposed to be a nice restaurant not a club.

They have a great selection of meats at reasonable prices. There are two tiers: King and Prince. We usually opt for Prince because we always order their beef brisket and beef belly. We also love their banchan. Our favorites are radish and rice paper, kimchi, steamed egg, glass noodles, corn cheese, garlic and jalapeño, and spicy tofu soup. On our recent visit, we noticed a tablet at our booth. Don't try removing it. It needs to stay attached to the stand to keep its charge. I like using the tablet in general because it eliminates the possibility of missing orders. The time it takes to place the orders and when we receive them is very minimal. The quality has been consistent and the service is always the good. Thanks, Wang Cho, for always delivering! See you on our next visit!

The atmosphere used to feel so much nicer, the service was personal, and even the patio made it a great place to hang out with friends and family. Now it feels like management is focused on cheap food and cutting labor costs with all the tablets and kiosks, which just makes ordering awkward and less convenient. Everything feels more disorganized and less personal than it used to. I used to recommend this place all the time, but over the years I've watched it slowly go downhill. Really sad because it just doesn't have the same vibe or experience anymore.
