I had a great experience at Just Barbecue inside Yaamava' Casino! The Kansas City-style burnt ends were simply delicious--tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The barbecue beans that came as a side were also excellent and packed with great flavor. On top of that, the customer service was amazing, and the food was ready fast. I highly recommend stopping by if you are at the casino! read more

Just Barbecue - Kansas City style burn end - Barbeque Near Me - Highland, California

Sometimes a little comfort food saves the day. After no wins on the slots, my husband and I decided to have some barbecue at "Just BBQ" located on the second floor at "Yaamava Casino" in Highland, CA. It did not disappoint. The food is really delicious and the customer service is good. The food is order from a Kiosk and does not take a long time to be served. I love their Texas Toast. It's a nice food court area with a cool vibe and ambiance. The restaurant is located right next to the slot machines just in case Lady Luck is calling you. read more

My family decided to try some bbq at the Just Barbecue that's located in the Yaamava Casino. It's located on the 2nd floor near the 909 Sports Bar. We bought 2 bbq ribs plates and bbq beans. The customer service was good and the food tasted delicious. read more

The baked bean was decent and was flavorful but the brisket was all broken up and dry. I couldn't pick it up with my fork because it would break into itty bitty pieces. This is disappointing because I had this the last time I was here and they gave me 4 big slices of brisket. I guess they only had the leftover trimmings or cuts left. It was very tough and not tender compared to normal brisket. There was no fat at all and tough meat. Ordering on the kiosk was quick and efficient. That is one thing I love about Yaamava'. Most of their restaurants are equipped with kiosk for quick ordering. I hope JBQ does better next time. read more

Brisket and Brisket sandwich + coleslaw (sides with meal were taters and beans). Personally, I hate kiosks that one uses to order, and all the restaurants here are the casino are that way. The order came out fast, the food was very tasty. The prices are what one would expect, $15-18 per entree. My issue is that I paid $5 for coleslaw and I received a very little amount in my opinion. I wouldn't do that again if I come back. My other issues are the lack of utensils that we had to request, the amount of sauce (2) and the brisket had a large amount of fat (in my opinion ) was it worth it? Yes, but I would not order a side by itself, I thought that was a waste of money. As far as the beans go, they were very good and the taters were all right. Cross this one off my bucket list read more

In Yaamava resort & casino , in the 909 second floor level . Can't really decide what to eat . As I scroll pass some menus in the kiosk . I thought some Brisket BBQ burger sounds good for my cheat day lol!! And why not add some baked cheese corn as a side option. Yeah! Baked cheese corn was rich and creamy, there goes my hour glass figure, lol!! Wishful thinking on the hour glass waist line .. My brisket burger was so dry , I really had to layer some bbq sauce to moisten the meat to get it down my throat and gulped some water after . Bummed the brisket didn't have the same tender texture and juicy taste like the last visit . ;( read more

It is located on the 909 food court here in Yamava casino. We are going to watch Duran Duran concert and while waiting decided to try Just Barbeque. They have an online ordering which is nice.

The bbq sauce is saucy. The cheesy corn so much cheese . Not a fun of it. The potatoes wedges are good . Ambiance table and chairs are available. read more

This place was so good!! I was so surprised cus it's just a random eatery in the casino. But i love bbq I would go back just for this food. The ribs fell off the bone. The banked beans had big chunks of bacon and the fries were well seasoned and crunchy. 10/10. read more

Just Barbecue - Rib plate. Baked beans. Fries. - Barbeque Near Me - Highland, California

This is my favorite spot at Yaamava' 909 sports bar + food hall. The BBQ here is soo good and worth the price. Also, if you have a player's card you get a discount on food so its win-win. The usual order I like are the burnt ends. They are delicious. Service really depends on how busy it is or what time of day you go. Usually the order is ready pretty quick. Since its a bar of the sports finding a seat can some time be difficult. Either way if you're craving BBQ at the casino. Come by and try them out, the food is good! read more

I absolutely love this place! There food is so high quality. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because they use to have the best cheesy corn and I would drive 35 minutes and spend money gambling to go get it and they took it off the menu. I hope they bring it back because it's a literal reason for my trip to the casino. read more

Brisket was cut thick and full of fat. I don't know if a tip is expected when you order your own meal through the app, but I didn't tip maybe that's why I got such a shitty sandwich? ‍ read more

The pork ribs were so tender and the bake beans were the best I've ever tasted it was off the hook I'm from Los Angeles and we need a closer location!!!!! read more

I went on New Years Eve evening. You place your order from the table,via cell phone where you scan the bar code and the menu comes up, they then bring your order to the table. Or you can order from a kiosk. They do not take orders at the counter. We sat at a table in front of the jumbo screen TV's near the bar which was nice, watching the games and walking to the bar just a few steps away. Service was fast considering it was NY eves at about 8:45 pm. It took roughly 15 min for our orders to arrive. I ordered the St Louis Rib Plate that comes with your choice of 1 side. It came with 5 meaty bones with just the right amount of fat to meat ratio. It comes with a small condiment size container, about 2 ounces of barbecue sauce. So if you like barbecue sauce,order extra as the ribs come dry. The ribs were very moist and tender, I could taste the smoke flavor coming through . The sauce was above average and very tasty . If you like dry ribs (no sauce) then you will definitely like these. I wanted to try something different for my side so I chose the cheesy corn bake. It was okay. It wasn't tasty and I ate it all. My friend let me taste her macaroni and cheese, she also order an extra side of barbecue beans. The Mac and cheese was flavorful and creamy, wasn't expecting it to be that good. The biggest surprise were the barbecue beans!!!. You can tell they didn't just cut a can of beans and say here you go. I could taste a hint of brown sugar, barbecue sauce and other seasonings. When I go back I'm going to order the macaroni and cheese and pay the extra for the beans. The Texas toast was okay, it was grilled,with butter. Maybe would have taste better with garlic butter? Overall this place is worth checking out if you are in the mood for good barbecue. read more

So you can't go wrong no matter what you order. Pros -It's inside the casino -Prices are good -BBQ sauce is Cons -The sides are ok read more

The food is great and the banana pudding is delicious I drive 60 miles just for the food

Located on the 2nd floor of Yaamava casino inside The 909. The casino gives generous food comps and I take advantage of a free meal here at least once a month. My go to order is the burnt ends plate with a side of their baked beans. The burnt ends have the perfect lean to fat ratio - I wish they served beef ribs on their menu because that would make it for me! Their baked beans are also to die - cooked perfectly, has a nice flavor and kick to it. Service is quick and efficient. I always order via the Yaamava app and it's ready for pickup in less than 15 minutes. I hope they keep this place running - it's very rare for a casino to have solid dining options let alone great BBQ. read more

Meh Not fresh. It was waaayyyy over priced for what you get. It's better than Lucille's barbecue. But just not worth the price. Remember the days when you got good food at a grate price when you went to a casino? Those days are gone. read more

Food was good. Bad things- you have to order and wait up to 1 hour . Then you need to find table to sit and eat. It's like a food court, it's not a restaurant. And of course it's very very loud all around because it's a food court in casino. read more

My grandma, a seasoned San Manuel Casino player, had no idea this place existed. This place is kind of tucked away in the corner on the second level, but worth a try! My grandma and I shared the beef brisket and pulled pork with corn bread and beans. The beef brisket was great! It was very tender, with little fat. The pulled pork was delicious too, with a great smokey flavor. My favorite part of the meal were the beans. They were sweet and had chunks of beef. All in all, I would definitely recommend this place over the overpriced buffet downstairs. read more

Just Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Highland, California

The food was delicious and the menu was good too the service was okay not great the ribs and Mac and cheese was decent

Im starting off with 5 Stars. FOOD: you can't miss. Anything you buy (BBQ) is excellent. Smoke flavor is perfect, not overbearing. The meat is flavorful, and tender. The garlic toast is delicious. I'm going to try their cornbread next time but I don't expect it to be better than my own. Their coleslaw has very good taste, however, I will say I don't appreciate it being spicy. Coleslaw should not be spice at all. STAFF: All Staff Associates are courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and people oriented. DINING AREA: Not to spacious but the decor is appropriate. Tables are real wood. The trash cans lk like trash cans but are clean on the outside. PRICE: the value is affordable. CONCLUSIÓN: love BBQ? Go and enjoy. read more

Mr T. is an awesome guy working for the JBQ he made sure I had plenty of extra sauce and pickles thank you so much!

Pretty decent BBQ place located in San Manuel Casino on the second floor. It's not really spacious but you can find seating easily. Their JBQ Signature Pulled Pork is $12 and it comes with sliced of buttered bread and a choice of coleslaw,baked beans and Potato salad. The pulled pork is pretty moist and filling. But my favorite would be the Texas Style beef brisket! I think it's pretty decent price for $14. Their meat is high quality and moist. They only have one option of sauce sadly. But it's a mild spice. I wish they have the hot sauce or the green chili sauce. Each table has a roll of napkins so you don't have to worry about dirty sauce hands! And the employees also give you extra wet napkins! Would recommend this place when you come gambling at the casino and wins/lose some read more

The food came fast and was absolutely delicious! We had the pork ribs, beef brisket, Mac n cheese, and Texas toast. For the price (considering it is located inside the Yaamava casino) we felt we had pretty decent portions of food and got our money's worth. The ribs were absolutely fall off the bone tender, as was the brisket. BBQ sauce was very delicious! The mac n cheese was super creamy and rich and a very good sized portion for a side dish. Forgot to take pics because we were so hungry!! read more

Pre Covid-19 review. We used our San Manuel Casino food credit at Just Barbecue. Did they change the name of this BBQ place? I could be wrong, but I thought it was a different name. I swear I thought I ate here before. We ordered combo 1 ($12.99) and combo 2 ($13.99) Kansas City-style burnt ends: it was tender and pretty good. JBQ smoked sausage: nice smoky flavor and semi spicy. JBQ signature pulled pork: tender and not bad. The combo meals are served with corn bread and potato salad. Pick your own BBQ sauce from mild, medium and hot. Located at the second floor of SMC, this place is actually pretty good for a casino food. Some of the workers were nice and some were just a little cranky. 4 stars!! I am honestly still afraid to go back to the casino right now, but try this place if you are at San Manuel Casino. Gamble, eat lunch/dinner @ Just Barbecue and win BIG! Good luck! QUICK TIP: YOU CAN USE YOUR CASINO FOOD CREDIT HERE. Just Barbecue is yummylicious!! read more

Would I come back? Another great restaurant in the San Manuel Casino! This place is tasty, but too bad they do not send me comps for the food here. If you have their players card, you can use your points here as currency as well. I came here for Mother's Day with my family and we were able to try most of the meats except for the turkey. We had the beef ribs, signature pulled pork, Kansas City style burnt ends, pork ribs and brisket. All the meats tasted great and the self serve BBQ sauce station was awesome as well. From the 3 sauces, my personal favorite was the spicy BBQ since it had a nice heat to it. My personal favorites were the burnt ends and brisket. They were full of flavor and really tender. But depending on your preference, you can't go wrong with any of the choices since I had the opportunity to try most of them. The sides were not on par with the meats. I would recommend ordering the cheesy corn bake or crispy fried potatoes. You can skip on the other options. Overall I enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back. The service is quick and the manager was really accommodating with our party of 6. Most of the tables were single so he helped us move them next to each other. The floor is slippery so the tables will move if you lean on them. read more

Two stars only because the ribs were good.... This was probably the worst bbq meal that I've ever had. I was so excited to try this place out but then so disappointed afterwards. I get it that things happen from time to time and nothing is perfect but the whole meal except for the ribs was just bad! The ribs were good. The bbq sauce was horrible, watery and lacked flavor. The baked beans had no bbq flavor or sweetness flavor and was overpowering with spice. The side of corn was not edible. The corn bread was so small and the whole bottom was burnt and stuck to the bottom of the paper tray it came in. The pulled pork sandwich was bad and lacked flavor and was served on a very soggy bun. The fries were not my style. The Texas toast on the rib plate was ok but came out not very toasted and it was cold. The biggest issue for me was the bbq sauce. Come on! My wife and I couldn't believe it. No flavor and no texture. Like I said the whole meal was bad for my wife and I. The ribs were the only thing we ate. We actually had to go to the drive through restaurant Baker down the street before getting back on the 210 to go home, because we were still hungry!I'll never try this place again. I'll stick to The Pines, Rock N Brews or the buffet. $70 down the drain. Also the young man working the pick up counter could use a class on customer service and as well jezz! What was nice... The atmosphere was chill and clean. Lots of TVs and a nice bar in the middle. I hope your experience is better than ours... read more

Best BBQ around these parts! I enjoyed the ribs combo. Best deal for the price. Next is the sandwiches. Love love them.

We got a hankering for BBQ Sat. night, so having remembered this place inside the San Manuel Casino, we headed over, as there's not many choices as far as BBQ goes in the mountains (tried the Stockyard in Crestline, which was bloody awful - let's just say Swansons frozen TV dinner rib option may be better - and cheaper). We ordered the beef rib plate, with burnt ends and the brisket as add-ons. We chose the fried potatoes as the side dish, which was delicious (as well as it should be, seeing as it'd be a baaaaad sign if a restaurant screws up fried potatoes). These were little discs of perfectly seasoned potatoes, which ended up getting a bit soggy but no fault of the restaurant, as we got our order to-go. Now, on to the meat... the beef ribs were overcooked. The 3 ribs that the plate came with had less meat than a baby back rib. I knew they weren't going to be as good as the version at Rollin' Smoke in Vegas (we use theirs as the gold standard for beef ribs), but these were pretty awful. We had to pick off the charred pieces of meat - couldn't take a bite from the bone. The brisket was d-r-y. Like Kalahari-Gobi dry. I think they must have sliced them in advance. The flavor was there, and each slice had a nice smoke ring, but man oh man, they were tough to chew. The burnt ends were the star - and hence the 3-star review. My husband had a bad experience with burnt ends so he suggested we not get it, but I vetoed him and got it, which turned out to be the savior of our meal. These were cooked perfectly, with a nice char and very tender. A little fattier than we'd like, but still very good. Husband got the peach cobbler for dessert, which he said was "fine." We're going to give them a second try, because as mentioned before, there's not much else for BBQ. And the burnt ends were tasty. As were the fried potatoes. read more

One of my girlfriends and I tried this place on Tuesday for dinner to bring back to our room at the Bear Springs Hotel.. First time visit. This place has a variety of items on their menu. They have plates to sandwiches with sides. My girlfriend ordered a pulled pork sandwich with potatoe salad and I ordered the beef burnt ends sandwich with potatoe salad. We also ordered one peach cobbler. We ordered this to go and the kind chef behind the counter was kind enough to place the coleslaw and barbecue sauce on the side for my gfs pulled pork sandwich. When we finally ate our sandwiches and potato salad. Our sandwiches and potatoe salad were packed with flavor. The peach cobbler was perfect and awesomely delicious. read more

Hubby loves JB Barbeque in the 909 at Yaamava Casino. The food never disappoints. But I really want to give praise to their employees, especially a few that I have encountered over the years. Bree, Sophia and Bernie have amazing customer service skills, and always go above and beyond for their customers. Would highly recommend :) read more

The worst service ever. Kiosks did not print out receipt. Waited over an hour to find out my order wasn't pull up to be made 30 mins into waiting. I kept having to pester the works to see if my order was being worked on since I had no way of tracking my order without a receipt. Only to be told they are working on it. I understand it's busy but I would have appreciated them actually taking the time to know what order I ordered. After 40 mins of waiting one of the workers was nice enough to take down my order to confirm it was "being worked on" the worst customer service ever. I can be patient and wait if only I had confirmation that my order was successful placed since the kiosk wasn't properly printing receipts. Only to get brushed off and seem like I was the issue. Honestly left a bad taste for this place. Worst customer service in my life. And on top of that they forgot 1 of my potato salad. I was so mad my husband told me just forgot it. I wanted to go back and let them know they are missing my salads but I had no energy left after waiting over an hour. I lost my appetite and honestly am beyond exhausted with dealing with this place. Beyond no empathy whatsoever and thanks for brushing off your customers. read more

It was okay and now it's bleh. After visiting a few times over the last 3 months, I've come to some conclusions... First of all, service has always been wonderfully pleasant even during their busy times. Staff is always friendly and very proactive in cleaning up the bbq sauce station and wiping down their dinky tables. Don't forget to tip them, they appreciate it! Second of all, portions are SMALL, just like their tables. Yes, at first glance their beef ribs look Bedrock-worthy-yabba-dabba-doing, especially at $9.50, but then you realize oh, it's just bone. It's true that dine-ins get the better of the rack, more meat, bigger bones versus take out, less meat, end of the rack because the takeout boxes are too small! Then, their beef brisket, oh my gawd was it a fail...4 super thin slices of dry meat for $14?! Their pulled pork was ok, a better option for your money, sometimes you'll get a more generous employee and they'll give you an extra strand of pulled pork. You'll need to use their BBQ sauce though, it kind of tasted like kalua pork, but without the cabbage and extra smoke. I wanted to try their smoked turkey a few times, but they always run out. Then their pork ribs, absolute WORST value ever created. 4 itty bitty dinky bones with barely anything on it for $14?!?! The absolute best value is their "burnt ends." It really isn't that burnt burnt, just a teeny bit charred on some edges. It's really their brisket cut into cubes, which in hindsight a much better deal. Thirdly, they used to offer extra corn muffins (now cornbread) or extra Texas toast at no additional charge, but that's all changed now. It's roughly $3 for extra bread which isn't even good bread. The corn muffins were usually stale and had a fake taste, and Texas toast was dry too. Additionally, their sides aren't the greatest. At first glance their cheesy corn bake sounds absolutely fatty-tastic and yummy in my fat belly, but it wasn't. It's not that cheesy, but clumpy and gritty, oily, and salty. Their smoked ham/bacon in the corn bake was good, but it definitely didn't do anything in this weird corn muck. It's like a reheated corn chowder that's been battling the microwave, just an odd texture and taste. (Also, you can view all my pictures...) Their baked beans are good, tastes like my elementary school lunch beans! I really did like the tangy, super sweet beans, as gross as that sounds. Their cole slaw is okay too, but not a fan of vinaigrette tossed slaw, I do prefer the creamy ones like KFC. Mac n' Cheese was terrible, it was dry, pale, and just not good. The buffet has better Mac and way cheesier! I don't know why they try to make things all fancy-schmancy when they can't even get the basics right... So for a casino, the food here is subpar and the value stinks, after the slots take all your moolah, how you gonna afford this and be full??? (they do give discounts for club members and you can use your points). I'm being nice today, 3 stars, something has got to change because George Lopez's kitchen is way better. read more

Just Barbecue - 1 order of cornbread. Water for scale - Barbeque Near Me - Highland, California

What a great surprise. San Manuel is going out of their way to ensure that the lost taco spot has a worthy successor. I had the beef brisket and doubled down on burnt ends as an add-on with some crispy potatoes and cornbread. Meet came out freshly-cut and juicy (at my request) Potatoes were made on demand.. meet is served without sauce which allowed me to taste the smoke. If you want sauce go sweet and spicy. Staff was friendly and courteous and seemed genuinely interested in making a good plate. Best bbq in the IE that's not homemade, at a place you wouldn't expect. I would easily drive down just for this if I had a craving for Bbq. Don't sleep on this spot! read more
