They even carry gluten free buns for those of us who can't eat wheat, and they're shockingly good! They also have good options for vegetarians. I'm always raving to my friends that they should stop here to eat when on the East Side. It's an absolute gem.

Chicken In A Barrel BBQ- South Lake Tahoe

My friends and I came here for some hangover food the morning after a wedding at Edgewood Tahoe…read moreResort, and we're so glad we did! FOOD: Bacon Cheeseburger (10/10): The barbecue options didn't really catch our attention, so we went with a burger. You can't go wrong with a good burger, and this place delivered. The patty was juicy, the bacon was crispy, and the barbecue sauce added an extra layer of flavor. We also ordered a side of crispy onion rings, which paired perfectly with the burger. Loaded Fries (10/10): The fries were delicious. We chose the pork topping, and it did not disappoint. The fries were crispy, the meat was tender, and everything was topped with pico de gallo and a delicious cilantro sauce. Would definitely get it again. SERVICE/AMBIANCE: The restaurant was spacious and clean, with both indoor and outdoor seating. We arrived early, so it was relatively empty, which made for a relaxing experience. Service was relatively quick and prices were also reasonable. I'd definitely come back the next time we're in Tahoe, especially since I've heard their chili is really good!

This restaurant is very similar to their original location in Kapaa, Hawaii. Food: The chicken is their best menu item. It's smoked onsite in barrels and very tender and juicy. The pork ribs were okay, but was missing smoke flavor. The pulled beef was not good. The pulled pork was just a little better than the pulled beef, but still missing the smoke flavor. For sides, the fries and onion rings are standard. The bbq sauces are not traditional Kansas City style, but tasty that has a touch of sweetness you won't find locally. The draft beer selections are self serve if you purchase the beer bracelet (gives you 32 ounces of beer). About 1/4 of the beers on tap were not available, so I would reconsider this before purchasing. It's a great concept though. Service: The staff was friendly and helpful. For a Sunday afternoon, the restaurant was half full for the lunch crowds and the food can take a while to come out. Venue: This restaurant is in a shopping complex and shares a parking lot, so it's free to park and plenty of spaces. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. They have TVs to play sports on. It was nice to see the barrels being used for smoking. It's more comfortable than their location in Kapaa, but that's the OG location.

The service is friendly, seemingly when they realize you're going to purchase something and not stop to use the bathroom. They appear to make this apparent by the 80 year old bouncer and signs that adorn the walls. Once accepted, the service is friendly and they're nice people. As the one star reviews state, this BBQ is terrible. *Disclaimer - I don't rate pulled/BBQ pork because if you can screw up a pork shoulder you don't belong in the food industry. The brisket is chewy, gray, has no bark and has no moisture. It seems they either cook it too hot for too long, or too low for not long enough. It does not pass the pull test, it is all flat and no point. The fries are clearly blanched once in oil rather than blanched then fried to a crisp. They were oily, limp, and I could have covered them with ketchup and called it poor man's spaghetti and twirled them with a fork. It's rare to find fries worse than In'n'Out. The BBQ sauce tasted like ketchup, sugar and Worcestershire sauce, but mostly sugar. The bun was dense, heavy and a gut bomb. I ate 3 fries and a few pieces of brisket, then took the rest to go and threw it away. This place could be a gold mine with a line out the door if they studied proper BBQ and put the hard work in. There's a reason great BBQ places have a line out the door, and there's a reason less than par ones don't. I hope they can find the means to make this place great. The location is beautiful and it's in an area with TONS of hungry road trippers willing to stop at a place like this if it was legit BBQ. Hope this inspires them to up their BBQ game. read more

I have been coming to this place since the day they opened their doors it seems! That says a ton being that I am a Native Texan and grew up on BBQ food! No other restaurant makes me feel more at home then when I walk in the front door of Mountain View and see the beautiful Texas flag hanging over the fireplace!!!! I knew right then and there, this was a great spot to be at! Some may say they are pricey, but I would much rather pay more for a delicious and juicy cheeseburger and fresh cut fries then a paper bag full of frozen fries and a hockey puck as a burger. I love their building with the awesome views of the Sierra's. The staff is so nice and attentive. Jeff is like the awesome uncle or dad that everyone wants to have in their family. On top of the fantastic atmosphere, the food is to die for! I take pounds of brisket and ribs home along with a few jars of their homemade BBQ sauce (then I tend to call and order more jars to be sent to my home which he does for very reasonable shipping!) I wish other places could be trained by Jeff and his staff, it would make trips out to eat much more enjoyable! Can't wait for next season...what does this make...season 18?!?! That right there says a lot! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! read more

"Worst BBQ I've ever had" is an understatement. I stopped in here on the way back from Bodie and I was so excited because 1. I was starving and 2. because I love good BBQ. When I passed this restaurant on the way to Bodie it was hoppin! So naturally I presumed this place must have great BBQ. Oh my God was I wrong. I ordered the BBQ pork sandwich and it was SO bad, I couldn't even eat it. I sent it back and ordered the smoked sausage instead, which was sausage possibly purchased at the local grocery store on special. I can't even believe they call themselves a BBQ restaurant. I've experienced bad food before but I've always been able to eat it - especially if I'm really hungry, like I was. But I couldn't even eat it because it tasted so bad. SO very very bad!! The people are nice, but the food is the most awful food I've ever tasted. Steer clear. And for the record, I used to do marketing for a chain of BBQ restaurants which included traveling all over the country to BBQ competitions and tasting other establishments BBQ. So yes. I do know my BBQ :) And this was, so far, the worst BBQ I've ever had. Maybe your experience will be different. read more

It was our first time eating here and I cannot praise the BBQ enough. The service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere country cozy with different decorations ranging from country art to license plates which only added to the unique flair of the restaurant. The food was a good portion and cooked perfectly, the pork BBQ sandwich was pure delight in taste and the sauce did not overpower which was excellent. Wrapping the culinary and wonderful experience was the "clean-up" crew that strolled in at close-up time consisting of a pug and a black and white, larger, long haired dog. We left with smiles and a hearty good-bye from the owner Jeff. Definitely an experience and most definitely worth repeating. read more

Pricing here has gotten out of control (a hamburger is 30-35 dollars....a *hamburger* ?!?), with service nothing particularly special. So you will be paying roughly double, or more, for the price of a menu roughly equivalent to the quality of an Applebee's. The restaurant will argue these are the new inflationary market prices, supply demand dynamics, summer travel pricing to offset slower winter travel season, etc etc. But reaming the customer ain't a great recipe for having folks like me ever returning.
