a plate of food

So like I loved James and Lupita, like I want to be their friend LOL No but kidding aside, their food was amazing and service exceptional, perfect for our outside mountain top Zoom wedding. They never took off their masks which we truly appreciated. I'd recommend them to all who like clean, yummy and friendly service. Loved you guys and hope to use your services again.

Absolutely amazing catering. They just catered a staff lunch for our development day and it was amazing! Best BBQ we have had. Everyone wants to have them cater our next event too!

The whole spread: bbq chicken, tritip, ribs, beans, rolls, and bacon Mac. We made our own salad.

We recently celebrated my little man's first birthday at home with a small family party and wanted to support a small business so we booked Smok'n Blues BBQ. Lupita was super easy to work with, the price was right, and most importantly, the food was a hit! We got the tri tip, bbq chicken, and ribs with bacon mac and baked beans, and my son LOVED it all! Of course he was the most important critic, but actually the whole family was pleased! The portions were generous; we were eating leftovers for a week, and the bbq chicken was actually the showstopper with most of our family. I also really liked the ribs. HIGHLY recommend booking Smoke'n Blues for your next event!

The best BBQ we have ever had! Lupita and James were awesome. We had the Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Tri-Tip with the bacon macoroni and cheese, baked beans, salad and bread. We look forward to using them again. Allison McKoane Racing

BBQ Heaven!

Thank you for an AWESOME experience with your catering company. Everything was perfect and the food was fantastic! The family LOVED the bacon mac n' cheese, potato salad, chicken, tritip and ribs! Lupita was so kind and responded quickly in all communication. We had so much food left over - very generous portions. Thank you again for helping to make my father's 80th birthday party easy and memorable!

Their set up was perfect! Cute and clean.

I did not want to miss out on another one of my parties. This day was a special celebration so I wanted excellent quality and taste, easy with no mess or work, someone that I could trust to take care of my guests better than I could. Smok'n Blues exceeded my expectations! From the beginning when I sent questions through yelps app to them until they pulled away from my house. Seamless! Above 5 star rating in every area. And let me tell you the Beef Brisket was the best I've ever had in my life!! My guests couldn't stop raving about it. I highly recommend this company for your event if you want it to be the best!

This is a true "hole in the wall, gotta know someone who has been there to know about it" type of…read morerestaurant. They've been in that location for 19 years but first thing to know is there is no dine in option and if you blink, you'll pass right by it. You walk in, there's the order/pick up counter and a couple chairs to sit in to wait for your order, a jukebox that says "do not touch" and a soda fridge. But don't fret, the ribs are worth picking up or having delivered. Fresh, succulent, "cut it with a spoon" tender and meaty ribs. Very good sauce covering everything and I don't say this lightly. I usually eat my ribs sauceless or with just a little to dip in to but not this time. All my fingers and half my face got sauced and I didn't care. The sides were as noteworthy as the ribs. Delicious, moist, cheesy homemade (or good as homemade if it was store bought) mac & cheese and baked beans cooked to perfection. The only things that held up the fifth star was 1. Their sliced beef. It was fatty and drenched in bbq sauce like they were hiding their sliced beef shame in it, 2. The service was slow. I called in the order, was told 15 minutes, I arrived 30 mins later and they hadn't even started putting the order together. I ended up waiting an additional 15 mins while they prepared the order, and 3. Their hours are a little selective. Make sure you check the hours on the day you go. All of this is forgivable though because what they do right, they do RIGHT!! And they definitely do ribs right. Sorry, I failed to capture any pictures.

Was not impressed at all. Food was just okay. They served it in a cheap Styrofoam container with…read morecheap plastic forks and knives. Portions were small for the price. The place looked filthy and very outdated. I would not go back or recommend.

Reading some of the previous reviews gave me a chuckle. What do you mean it was too cold inside?…read moreYou're about to stuff your face over an open fire grill. Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

Let's be honest .. this place is very MID KBBQ . The wait times are ridiculous and parking is a…read moredisaster especially on a busy street tucked close to a residential neighborhood. I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..

Wilson's BBQ Rib Shack - Beef brisket smoked for 12 hours

This was our second time having Wilson's BBQ and it was still just as amazing! The first time was…read moreduring NYE when a friend hosted a party, which was immediately memorable. This time we decided on a full on "Ultimate Feast" catering order for our children's birthday BBQ bash. Paul was great in scheduling such a large order and even able to accommodate changes to the menu a week before the event. We were having a mix of adults and lot's of children and Wilson's BBQ was able to satisfy everyone's taste. Our guests were definitely impressed with the food and the amount of it! We had racks of pork spare ribs; which was juicy and well smoked, with a nice crisp char, the Santa Maria Beef Tri-Tip; which was tender and flavorful. However, the BBQ chicken was "out-of-this-world". It had an amazingly smoked flavor throughout and so tender that everyone, including children, had tons of it. We also ordered the Mac and Cheese, Garlic Mash Potatoes, and Paul even threw in a 1/2 tray of his famous BBQ baked beans. Everything had such great flavors and consistent. The Mac and Cheese was sufficiently cheesy, not runny, which went well with the saucy BBQ beans. The Garlic Mash was peppery and garlicky. Finally, the BBQ sauce was the best I had ever tasted, sweet, thick, and a good kick. I am going to add the leftover sauce to everything I eat for days. We were thinking that we needed to order pizza for the kids in case of picky eaters with this "specialized BBQ". However, it was unnecessary as everyone was able to enjoy this impressive menu. Last thing to note: you can tell Paul is a great family guy and tries to accommodate your needs with his family. Even though he couldn't deliver the food to us (his son had a baseball game) he made sure he had someone be available for pickup, on time, with the food hot and ready to go. He even added some extra touches to the whole order. He will definitely be one of our go-to caterers for future gatherings.

The brisket was like rubber and dry. Chicken was so dry even the bbq sauce couldn't help it. Honestly the garlic mash was my favorite part of it all. Tri-tip was my 2nd favorite thing. Really hope I caught them on an off day with all the 5 star reviews but I can't see myself returning for the price I paid.
