Titus smoker wowzer
Daniel O.

I hate being that guy....but here I go being that guy. Perhaps consistency is the issue, because lots of 5 star reviews. Sadly that was not my experience. I've been to Franklin's in Austin and Terry Blacks. That's the bar, and welp this fell short. Pros: great deal for the sampler, ribs, brisket, pulled pork and turkey with two Hawaiian rolls for $35. Customer service was fantastic. They accept zelle, cash app, Venmo, PayPal, cash and take card. The turkey was juicy and prob something I'd go back for.Awesome set up too. Cons: the brisket lacked salt. It was tender but flavorless, could barely even taste the smoke on it. The beans were good, but a tad of salt would go along way but perfect amount of smoke. The ribs. I had the baby back. It was close to comp ribs, where you can see the teeth marks but again lacking season and the smoke flavor was nice here but still a little too chewy for me. When serving to public just give us fall off the bone when it comes to ribs. The pulled pork also was lacking salt. Very bland and very little smoke flavor. Some bites were juicy and others were dry. Here Iam being that guy. As a former bbq comp pit competitor I appreciate the Grind, hustle and service. But with that same hat, take this with a grain of salt, but some salt would go a long way. I wish you all the best, and good luck!!!!

"Brisket" fat .

Yeah, NO. Definitely don't recommend. I stopped by and got the platter, brisket, pulled pork, ribs, chicken legs, small side of Mac and cheese and a small side of hot links. Definitely a disappointment. Pulled pork has no flavor. Chicken legs, dry. Ribs, dry. Mac and-cheese tasted watered down. The 10 dallar side hot links, cold and mushy they weren't cooked properly. And what I was looking forward the most. Brisket, no brisket in my platter. Nothing but fat. Big blobs of fat. Definitely not worth the $50 I paid.

10/10!!!! I first saw the red smoker when I was getting on & off the fwy & thought hmmm I wonder? (I couldn't read what their tent said) few days later someone in a local fb page posted about it and posted their menu... I showed my dad and we went that day, bummer they were sold out but that means a good thing! So I inquired about placing an order for the next day (today) & the owner helped and guided me on how to order! We went today and ordered the farmhouse! (Such a good deal for the amount of food) the packaging the customer service was amazing when we pulled up, he even remembered me from the day before! OKAY THE BBQ, every thing included it was amazing. THE SMOKED BRISKET MY GOD! Mouth watering. We will definitely be back for it !!! Thank you Nini's BBQ!!!

BBQ Sampler

Hello Nini's BBQ, I wanted to say that your customer service is amazing. I really appreciated you guys waiting on me figuring out what I wanted. I found Nini's BBQ at a Baseball Festival called, Sip n' Swing at Storm Stadium today in Lake Elsinore. I ordered the BBQ Sampler for $14.99, let me tell you it was tender pulled pork, and tender brisket just as it's described. It's really made heartfelt. The beans as well had the perfect combination to mix with the rolls and make a perfect slider. I really like the flavor and the tang that I tasted. You also get a huge portion of pulled pork and brisket, I would definitely order the BBQ Beans by itself and eat it alone it was so good. The staff, and owner were really kind people and I would definitely eat with them again and because I opted in to your newsletter I'll get updates about future events that you'll be attending. The booth itself was well organized and clean and I did not have to wait long for my food, and they were patient with me while I told them what I wanted. I did note that I would leave you a Google Review, but because Nini's BBQ does not have a page on Google to display them as a business I couldn't do it. I would love to cross post my review there as well when it's up and running. Thank you so much for the amazing food, and I'm glad I get to share the rest of my plate with my family!

There setup. Nice rig terrible bbq.

I went to their pit that was parked behind Ralph's last month in the afternoon. The bbq was pretty much inedible. The brisket was grey and mushy and their ribs were dry and over cooked. I tried to cover it in there bbq sauce, because it was pretty good, but ended up throwing away most of it. Over priced a 10x worse than bbq most people could do at home. Sorry but it's the truth. They should pay more attention to the quality of there product and less time shooting fireballs out of there smoker.

Brisket, tri-tip, chicken, ribs, strawberry shortcake pudding and barbecue sauce!!!

See all

We used this hibachi catering company for my husband's 30th birthday at an Airbnb and it was an…read moreabsolute hit. From start to finish, the experience was seamless - communication leading up to the event was clear, friendly, and super reassuring. I did some other research on different companies in the area and this was the easiest to order from and get estimates. Day of, the chefs showed up early, got set up quickly, and were ready to go right on time. The food was fantastic and there was so much of it - we were still enjoying leftovers for many meals afterwards. Beyond the food, the entertainment really made the night. The chefs were hilarious, engaging, and kept the whole group laughing with plenty of surprises sprinkled throughout the evening. This is such a great option for a big group and made the celebration feel extra special without having to leave the house. Highly recommend booking two chefs if you can - it keeps service moving quickly and doubles the entertainment value. Would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone looking to do something fun and memorable.

From the beginning he was so helpful, even offering recommendations for other vendors and for our menu too. He has an open line of communication, is clear with the whole process and even took our feedback and applied it to our event (my now husband just asked for a few things and he changed it for him). We booked him cuz his food is delicious but his arten to detail the day of the wedding and his staff members were also all fantastic. Aa a final note, like it is for all brides and grooms, we were being pulled every which way on our wee day but head tracked us down and made sure we got appetizers, drinks and our food first too. That was really special and very appreciated considering I barely ate before then. Thank you again!

I first met him at the Loft 84 bridal show, where I immediately fell in love with the food. He hosted a food tasting at my house, which made the experience feel so personal and special. It was such a fun experience, and it made us even more excited for our big day! He was also very charismatic and such a nice man, which made the entire process even more enjoyable. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients and their events. On the day of the wedding, the food did not disappoint. The appetizers were my favorite part we chose the aguachile and sopes, and I highly recommend both! Mr. Worldwide is the way to go!
