Smoke & Glory - Barbeque Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Delicious poblano chilaquiles and excellent service by Sergio and all. Nice and clean environment.

We had to check out this place and of course we were blown away by the delicious food and vibes of Smoke & Glory. I had the Brisket Flatbread which I fell in love with. My friend had the chicken one and my other friend bad the Pork BBQ and he said "This is the BBQ I have ever had." Of course the service was amazing and Patty was awesome! I highly recommend this place whenever you are in Chula Vista, CA. read more

What a pleasant surprise! The wings were smoked to perfection, the brisket sandwich was seasoned perfectly and the veggie choices work so well with the meat! Somehow the 2 servers were able to tackle the entire restaurant and the wait time was minimal. Only reason I couldn't give it a 5 was because of the BBQ sauce. Although it had decent flavor, it was too runny for my liking and could have more of a bite. But I know there's all kinds of BBQ sauce types out there. read more

We was hoping to find a local spot for BBQ so we came here with high hopes. We got here around 3:30pm and I had not ate all day so the odds were looking good we would like this place. They didn't have many options for BBQ plates. I was hoping for maybe a rib, tri tip, brisket, pulled pork, etc combo but nope. All they had for plates was BBQ ribs or BBQ chicken. I opted for the pulled pork sandwich. I failed to see that it had coleslaw in it. Not a huge fan of coleslaw BUT I figured let's try it the way it was made. And it actually was good. Nothing to write home about. Bread was real good (5 stars) pulled pork was okay (3stars) sauce was okay (3 stars) and with the coleslaw, I would say overall like 3.5 stars My side was onion rings (3.5 stars) Also got a side of bbq pork beans. A bit watery for me. Maybe 3 stars. My daughter was craving bbq ribs and I tried them. Maybe 3 stars. Not "fall off the bone" soft or tender. NGL, my wife's ribs are better. 3 stars Atmosphere was okay, kinda empty at this time. Doubt we will come back. So many better options within a driving distance but glad I t read more

Absolutely loved this place and very happy with both the food and service. We came in on 4th of July, so it wasn't busy at all. We sat at the bar, so we placed our order with the bartender who was extremely kind and friendly. Unfortunately, the food did take about 20 minutes to come out and when it finally did, there was a misunderstanding with our order and one incorrect item was brought out. The bartender handled it amazingly and offered us another round of drinks on her for the mistake. We were very impressed and grateful for the way it was handled and the correct item was brought out pretty quickly after that. The brisket burrito was so flavorful and absolutely stuffed! The pork ribs were some of the best I've had and just fell off the bone. We were so full, but the food was just so amazing that we couldn't stop eating! My only complaint about the food would be the mac n cheese. It tasted just like Kraft box mac so that was disappointing. With how delicious the rest of the food was, I definitely feel like they could change it and elevate it a bit. Overall, I'm looking forward to coming here again when we're in town and trying some different items on the menu. The setting seems like a great, casual place for watch parties where you can enjoy great food while watching some of your favorite teams. read more

First time dining at smoke & glory and I came in before the dinner rush. Got seated right away with my choice of table or bar. My server was Patty who did an excellent job making sure my drink was always full and very attentive, 5/5 service! Food was okay, I didn't care too much for the pork ribs and mac and cheese but the kielbasa, sweet potato fries were good. Wouldn't get that combo again and would try a different meat, food 3/5. Ambience is pretty chill, multiple TVs that had World Cup and baseball game. Both indoor and outdoor seating, I'd come back again to try something else on the menu! read more

I am on summer break and when one of my long time friends, who I met at my first school teaching, said let's meet up for lunch, I said let's go to 3rd Ave. We kinda wandered around and since she lives in the area, she mentioned that a new BBQ place opened next to Farmer's Table. So we walked over to look. No one approached us at the hostess stand, so we wandered over to the BBQ side. The workers all said hello and we could sit anywhere we wanted. You don't have to twist my arm! Johanna brought us some water and said to take our time since we told her it was our first time here. There's some good choices on the menu, but like Emmet mentioned, I too expected to see brisket and tri-tip as entrees. But we decided to ordered a few things in order to try them out. The nachos with chicken were great! I love me some Velveeta! The way it melts and its creaminess...so good! We then had the Garden Salad, which was new on the menu. So new, Johanna didn't know about it either...LOL! Love the presentation and the strawberries and pomegrante seeds really pull the rest together. Also very healthy, which we loved. We also had the brisket flatbread. This was soooooo good! The flavors worked well together. Though Tami asked for no cilantro, it was still good! I did wonder about with it, so maybe next time! I also had to have the creamy mac n cheese. So good and healthy...LOL! We also ordered the Mesquite & Stone cocktail...Bacardi coconut rum, peach schnapps, pineapple juice, honey syrup, lime juice, delicious and refreshing! Johanna was great! Checked in with us often, but knew we were catching up. I am looking forward to coming back! They have a variety of areas to eat at and their patio is dog friendly read more

Well overall, it was good. The beef rib was tender and meaty. The coleslaw had enough size on the cabbage to convince me that they actually made it. The mac and cheese was also good......but not amazing. It's like they put enough sauce to make it cheesy, but were afraid to make it too cheesy. The ribs were tender, but I found the flavor to be rather understated. There was so little seasoning that I asked for salt and pepper. The barbecue sauce on it was also kinda plain. For a place called Smoke and Glory, I found it to be not smoky at all and very "safe" in the presentation of its flavors. This is unusual because my most common complaint about ribs are that they had good umami, but were too tough. They seem to try to sell this kielbasa sausage to everyone. Aside from the large size, it was just okay. I wasn't the biggest fan of the texture. The toast that comes with it is also fine, but nothing spectacular. I might actually like this more as a bar than a BBQ joint. It's true that the Farmer's Table next door seems to get far better business while it's open and really sticks out. However, once you turn the corner at the wall, Smoke & Glory immediately feels like its own hideout and also has a unique vibe. I also liked the blueberry old fashioned I ordered. It was rather sweet for an old fashioned, but sometimes I like sweet drinks also, so I found it to be perfect for my mood at the time. read more

Came here for dinner on a Friday night with 3 other people and got seated right away. The exterior and interior had awesome metal art and had a good vibe. There's inside and outside seating available. It's right next to an Italian restaurant, Acqua E Farina, which we were told is owned the same people. Smoke & Glory opened up about 3 months ago and I think it's got a lot of potential and people just don't know about it yet, hence why it wasn't packed on a Friday night. Everything we had were tasty. The pork ribs was tender, juicy and fall off the bone. You can ask for their standard sauce or their habanero sauce to give it a little kick. The other food we ordered were fish tacos, mac & cheese, potato salad, beans and a burger. Everything was excellent and flavorful. Those beans were fireeee! You have to try them out. Our server, Frank, was attentive, friendly and really made our experience even more pleasant. There's a full bar and draft beers for extra bonus. TVs all around for those game nights. Our experience was so good that we've began spreading the word and will definitely be back again! Also, as far as parking, there's a parking structure for that shopping area so you should not have an issue. read more

First time at this new spot and I'm seriously impressed! A couple TVs outside and several more inside to catch all the sports, including the current FIFA games. The barbecue was legit - the pastrami sandwich had the perfect serving size. We also tried the pork ribs, Cali Burrito with brisket, and even a veggie burger with sweet potato waffle fries . If you're outside, flies can be a bit of a nuisance since it's an open-air venue, but there's also indoor seating with a full bar. Our server was prompt and never pushy, making us feel right at home. We definitely enjoyed our time watching one of our games, and they even have a happy hour special for FIFA games! #Impressions #Sports #Barbecue #Food #Venue #Service #HappyHour read more

I enjoyed a very good BBQ lunch from this new BBQ House in Chula Vista. I ordered the Beef Ribs Nachos, the Smoked Pork Spare Ribs, and an order of Wings. For my ribs, I had the side of onion rings and the Pork Belly Wings. The smoked ribs were great. The meat was super tender and fell off the bones easily. It was well seasoned and offer a nice smoke flavor. The penetration of the smoke was very evident based on the pinkish color of the meat. Great smoke ring. The onion rings were abundant and crispy. They came with whole onions inside and were tasty. The pork belly beans were good, but I would have liked a little more pieces of pork belly in the beans. As for the wings, the server recommended the Tamarindo Chiltepin sauce, which was a great choice. The flavor of the sauce was great. It was a little sweet and had a very good flavor. The wings were tender and meaty. The nachos were good. They definitely do not hold back on the toppings. The tortilla chips are made in house and are of the thicker casero variety or homemade. They were well seasoned. Did I love the idea of Velveta cheese on my nachos? Probably not, but it worked here. The cheese was creamy and easily ladled onto the tortilla chips. The nachos are definitely meant for sharing, given their size. The beef meat was very tender and tasty. The service was friendly. I liked that they took the time to make suggestions and go over the menu in a casual manner. It was not rushed, so I had to relax before I ordered. They are located right next door to Farmer's Table and Acqua E Farina and are open for lunch and dinner. They have a great happy hour, too. There's inside and outside seating available with plenty of television around for sports viewing. If you like corn hole, they have that too! read more

Excellent first visit. Every staff member we spoke to was welcoming, and our server Patty was friendly, helpful, and took great care of us--her advice on both food and drinks was spot on. The food lives up to the name. Their take on street corn was an excellent appetizer with a great, spicy bite. The beef "dino rib" was tender and full of flavor, and our sides--onion rings and pork belly baked beans--were both excellent. For drinks, we had the Los Altos and the Mesquite & Stone; both were good, with the Mesquite & Stone leaning sweeter and the Los Altos carrying a strong smoky note. One thing worth knowing going in: the drinks, BBQ, and sides all lean hard into the "smoke" theme. The food is excellent, but if you're expecting the sweeter flavor profile common at other BBQ spots, calibrate accordingly--there's a reason they put "smoke" in the name. The only minor note is that it's also a sports bar, so it ran a little louder than I'd prefer--but that's personal preference more than a knock. Overall, an excellent experience and well worth a visit. read more

Smoke & Glory - Smoked Roasted Corn, Dino Beef Rib, Onion Rings, Pork Belly Beans & Bbq Sauce, Los Altos, and a Mesquite & Stone. - Barbeque Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Smoke & Glory is located in a Chula Vista suite adjacent to a popular brunch restaurant. You can park in the structure behind the building where there were plenty of open spots. There was a large outdoor space with picnic tables if you wanted to dine al fresco. The inside seating featured ten high chairs around a bar along with tables and booths. The ambiance resembled a cross between a barn and a lodge. Happy Hour was offered between 2 and 5 pm daily. A separate menu was dedicated for that time period with discounts on twelve food choices, draft beers, well drinks, and cocktails. The main menu was divided into appetizers and BBQ plates in the left column. Burgers, sandwiches, a hot dog, and a burrito were in the middle of the page. Salads, flatbread, sides, and family combos made up the right column. To my disappointment, there were only three BBQ Plate choices... Smoked Chicken, Smoked BBQ Pork Rib, and Smoked BBQ Dino Beef Rib. Nearly every barbeque joint I have visited offers brisket and pulled pork by the pound. This place made those meats available only as a sandwich. It shouldn't be difficult to modify the menu to sell those two items a la carte or as part of a plate. My selection was the Smoked BBQ Dino Beef Rib (1 bone) plate which came with two small sides. I picked the Mac and Cheese and Pork Belly Beans. A metal tray was delivered to my table with pickled onions, a dill pickle, and a couple of pieces of bread as sides. The bone was large with plenty of sauced meat. The tenderness was okay, but I have experienced better "fall off the bone." The mac and cheese was creamy. The beans were contained in a salty, watery gravy that resembled a soup. The service was hit and miss as I placed my order at the bar when no server came by my table. The staff did check up on me after delivering the food. For the quality and price of what I tried, I gave a rating between three and four stars for Smoke & Glory. read more

Plenty of seating, both indoor and outdoor, perfect to watch the World Cup. The brisket sandwhich was great but they don't offer brisket to order, which was odd. The ribs were soft but the rub was pretty salty and the regular bbq sauce needed a bit more tang for my liking. The habanero bbq sauce was better. Service was very slow, we sat down and waited about 10 minutes and I had to get up and ask for menus. We had to ask for drinks and to-go containers 3 times before we actually got them. read more

First time trying Smoke & Glory BBQ located on F Street in Chula Vista, CA. The restaurant opened its doors in February of 2026 and it's next to Farmer's Table. Both restaurants have the same owner. Smoke and Glory BBQ is Kansas City style BBQ & NOT Texas style BBQ very different flavor. I prefer Texas style but there's a following in San Diego for Kansas City style BBQ. We really enjoyed the following and would order again: -TJ Nachos with beef ribs. It had pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapeños, velveeta cheese and Oaxacan cream (5/5) stars. -Bread Pudding dessert (5/5) stars it was OUTSTANDING! It had ice cream and blueberry sauce. A must try!! -Smoke BBQ Pork Ribs (6) with cole slaw and pork belly beans in BBQ sauce. The sides were excellent!! I'm not a fan of Kansas City style BBQ especially, their sauce. I found my rib order a bit dry, but you may enjoy this plate. I rate the ribs (4/5) stars. There's indoor and outdoor seating with screens TV's to watch your favorite sports game. They have a lot of room for large groups. Happy hour is daily from 2pm-5pm, $6 draft beers, $10 House Cocktails. We had excellent customer service by our server Jose and manager Denise who took the time to come over to make sure we enjoyed our dinner. The service was a 5/5 stars and restaurant was very clean. The staff worked together as a team to clean our table and refill our drinks which we really appreciated. Get $10 off your next visit when you sign up on their website to stay up to date with their specials, events, promotions etc. Go on their website for additional details. I look forward to going back and trying their flatbreads and BBQ sandwiches next time. There's free parking available behind the restaurant. Give this restaurant a try! Happy Yelping :) read more

Came here for a date night with the wifey and honestly... this spot surprised me. From what I understand, it used to be more farm-to-table, but now it's like 3 concepts in one which is actually pretty cool. Gives you options depending on what you're craving. We went the BBQ route and I'm just happy Chula Vista finally has something like this. wasn't too packed (yet), but I'd love to see this place cracking. They've got TVs for games, a nice outdoor patio, and it just feels like a spot you can post up with friends or bring the family. I got the dino ribs with onion rings, wifey got a piña colada mocktail (they hooked it up since she's pregnant and I kept it simple with a bubbly drink. The house sauce and habanero sauce were definitely the highlight. BBQ itself? Good, not mind-blowing, but solid enough where I'd come back especially since we don't have a ton of BBQ options out here. Overall this is one of those places you want to support. Chula Vista has a lot to offer, we just gotta show up for spots like this so they stick around. I'll be back!! read more

New BBQ spot in Chula Vista *Casual, spacious vibe this place is going to be SO good in the summer. Plenty of parking (huge win). *Service was great. Favorites: * Pork ribs solid. * Sliders on brioche bread super tasty, definitely ordering again. The nachos were just okay for me. Not bad, just not my favorite item. Now... I love onion rings, so I had to try them. They came out undercooked and the breading was falling apart. We gave feedback to our server they were kind and offered to remove them from the bill, but we declined. We enjoy trying new spots and giving honest feedback so the next guest gets an even better experience. Happy hour is a vibe Had the Paloma and the Los Altos drink both were great. We'll be back to try more! read more

I noticed a new bbq had opened in Chula Vista and I gave them a try.  The setup confused me.  The entrance has signs for Farmer's Table and Smoke & Glory.  There was a huge line for Farmer's Table on a Sunday at 11am but I was the only one in Smoke & Glory which was the left part of the building. There was the delicious scent of bbq in the air.  I started with a complimentary soda water.  It was not good.  Tasted like half regular water and half soda water.  Made me long for Costco.  They have really good soda water now that the Coke machines are back. Kielbasa sausage was tender and juicy.  Full of flavor and a bit of heat.  This was likely the best part of my meal. Fries were crispy and had a nice fried potato flavor.  I expected them to be hot out of the fryer but they were more lukewarm like they had been sitting out for a bit.  I tried to order onion rings but they were out. 2 beef ribs were huge and made for 2 meals.  Beef was extremely tender and moist.  Very good quality beef.  I liked the sweet sauce that was glazed on top.  Overall flavor was very light.  I would have liked more smoky aroma and more dry rub.  I usually get beef ribs at Julian Beer Company where their ribs have a ton of smoky flavor and a ton of peppery dry rub.  Ribs were also lukewarm.  I prefer them hot out of the smoker.  I tried the bbq sauce from the bottle but it didn't taste as good as the bbq sauce that had caramelized on the ribs.  I took most of the ribs home and reheated them.  They tasted better at the proper temperature. Staff was nice but not very informative as when I asked what kind of wood they smoke with and was told they use wood.  Smoke a& Glory could be really good with better quality control. This isn't the place for me though as I like my food hot out of the kitchen. read more

Ate ate Smoke and Glory last night. Ill start with the good. The service was polite and prompt. Ambiance was nice upon walking in. I ate at the bar and the server was really good, she made me a decent Old Fashion. Now the food. I ordered two pork tacos, a 6 bone rack of ribs with a side of Mac n cheese and their house baked beans. My pulled pork for the tacos was extremely dry and tough. Ribs had zero smoke flavor, baked and over cooked. Mac and cheese was ok..a little on the soupy side, beans were ok as well. I had a lot of food left over. Again service was great, food just wasnt as tastey as the hype made it out to be for me. read more

This is a new bbq spot that just opened up in Chula Vista in the same building as Farmer's Table. I went during the weekday for lunch and the staff was very attentive and had good service. The food came out pretty quickly as well. I ordered the bbq chicken sandwich which comes with fries, pickle, and red onions. The bbq chicken sandwich was really flavorful and super filling. The chicken is shredded with texture reminding of a pulled pork sandwich and it was not dry at all. The cole slaw gave a nice refreshing crunch to the sandwich. They give generous portions and it's a large hefty sandwich for only $16! There are plenty of seats indoor and outdoor and it is a very clean place. I really enjoyed the food here and will come back to try their other menu items! For parking I recommend using the parking garage next door which has 3 hours free and plenty of spots. read more

Smoke & Glory is a hidden gem. The portions are fairly large. I had flatbread pizza that was tremendously heat-hot with many seeded jalapeños but scrumptious.

A billion stars for outstanding service! read more

Came in on a nice afternoon, curious about the BBQ and casual vibe. The place surprised us with how much space there is -- a huge, shaded outdoor patio with umbrellas and also a full bar and restaurant inside. Food-wise, the 6-piece pork ribs were tender and actually charred the way they should be, served with a really solid cheddary cavatappi mac n' cheese. My bison burger came thick and juicy, paired with starchy, extra-crispy fries that were exactly right. They've got a decent drink menu with drafts on tap and some nice non-alcoholic options too. Service was quick and attentive. Parking is genuinely great -- covered garage, no hunting around. One small thing: there's no front-of-house hostess, so we weren't entirely sure if we should grab our own table or wait, but it worked out fine. For the food quality and portions, it's a good value. Definitely coming back to try more from the menu. read more

Tried this spot for happy hour because we are locals and have been looking for a bbq spot in town to back. This missed the marker by miles. Tried the tj nachos, wings (tamarind and buffalo), pulled pork sandwich, and some drinks. We received the food before the drinks (no biggie ) All of the food was room temperature at best. Let's start with the tj nachos w/ pulled pork. Chips were stale and cheese was room temperature. Wings were tasty but again, room temp and lacked sauce. Not terrible but, I'll take any other wing any day of the week. My wife thought the pulled pork sandwich was ok but needed sauce. I tried it and thought it was dry af. When we finally got our drinks, let's just say the best part about it was the oval glass it came in. Didn't know you could mess up a simple whiskey ginger ale, I was wrong . I ordered a Smokey old fashioned , sweet af! It was the worst old fashioned I've ever had. That includes any crappy premade old fashioned I've ever had. At least the server was nice. Wasted money. Never coming back. Shoutout to every other restaurant on third ave. read more

Dang, it's been 3 years since I've jumped on Yelp and wrote one of these... but today I had to. Last time I wrote a review, it was at the tail end of the pandemic. Prices went up and quality went down. 3 years later and prices to everything is still high. My wife and I figured that if we were to go out and grab a bite, it better be good. Today's Father's Day and we had to take the old man out... enter Smoke & Glory. So, I LOVE and HATE this place. LOVE: I love it because it's hands-down the best BBQ I've had in San Diego!!! I've been all over... to Phil's (of course), Cali BBQ, Grand 'Ol, Coups... etc... but Smoke & Glory is really on another level. I'm usually a loud mouth during dinner, but I was quiet because I was busy eating LOL It wasn't just the BBQ... it was the SEASONING!!! I don't usually go for chicken when I get BBQ, but we got a family meal and chicken came with it... The chicken was SOOOOO GOOD. The beef ribs were definitely my favorite though! FLAVOR!! This place really has it!! I've been all over the country trying out local BBQ spots... North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Texas (Salt Lick), Kansas City... etc. My humble opinion, I genuinely feel like this place ranks up there with the best. HATE: This place fucked up my diet. I have a blood test coming up. My doctor's gonna kill me. He got hands like a gorilla. Anyway, if y'all try this place, I hope you like it as much as we did! Happy Father's Day! read more

We tried Smoke & Glory (S&G) for the first time last night with another couple. They've only been open a little over a week, and we took a chance without reservations. Fortunately, our timing was perfect and an indoor U-shaped booth had just opened up. When we went to order, we attempted to get the chicken wings, corn cocktail, beef ribs, and onion rings -- but they were completely sold out of all four items after Valentine's weekend and earlier service. Our server, Frank, was apologetic and did his best. We pivoted and ordered the pork ribs, kielbasa sausage, Boston baked beans with pork belly, potato salad, mac & cheese, fries, and a bacon cheeseburger. Loved: the pork ribs, kielbasa, baked beans, and potato salad -- flavorful and well done. Didn't care for: the mac & cheese or the bacon cheeseburger. The mac & cheese, in particular, was underwhelming. Frank provided great service despite the shortages. We understand they're new and likely working through early demand, so we'll give them another shot and hope to try the items that were sold out. read more

Great service, friendly staff, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!

My wife and I just ate dinner here. We came in through the outside patio. It's really nice looking and there are lots of big tvs. We were greeted right away and directed to a table. Happy Hour was about to end but our server made sure to get it to us in time. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. The food wasn't bad but it was just okay. I got the BBQ bacon cheeseburger. It had a good char, but the inside was more pink than I cared for. The grill must have been so hot it shared the outside but didn't cook through the middle enough. By the time I got to the middle of my burger I realized it was a little too rare for me. I didn't tell the server, but I was starting to get full any way. The onion rings I had were fine. They were passable onion rings, nothing special. My wife got the pork ribs with the beans and mac and cheese. The ribs had a lot of meat on them and they were falling off the bone. However, you couldn't pick them up to eat them. The flavor was fine too, but their bbq sauces were the best part. The mango habanero one had good heat and flavor and the regular bbq was good too. My wife never saw any pork belly in her beans, but there was some kielbasa. I had the Los Altos drink and it was very refreshing. It was probably the best thing I had. It's nice to have a new business in our area. We might come back for a happy hour some time, but there wasn't anything cravable about any of their food. read more
