I was so excited when Speakeasy opened! I could tell they do it right, meaning low, slow, and brisket like it's meant to be. I got a bunch to go and half of it disappeared in the car on the way home. I told Mrs. Yelper, and I was forgiven. read more

I had a problem with this because I was about to buy a deal on clipp.com when I realized that what was being offered in the deal was no longer being served at this place. It's quite a drive from my house and for me personally not worth the drive because what is now offered is available much closer to me. I will say this. The owner responded to my review quickly and did say she would resolve the issue with the offer on clipp.com. I will also say that looking at their menu this does seem like a very reasonably priced establishment, especially with the currently available $9 for $30 worth of food offer on clipp. Many owners don't even bother looking at their reviews and commenting on them. This owner is definitely feisty and if she's that devoted to standing up for her business, I would venture to say the food is probably quite good. Definitely check it out if you're in the neighborhood. read more

We got there about 15 minutes before they opened and the young gentleman had us come in, and he took our order. He explained the menu and gave us options. Many healthy options to choose from. The food was good and the prices weren't bad. Plenty of parking and it is close to the freeway. It was worth the drive, we will be back soon. read more

The pulled pork sandwiches are fabulous, Sandwiches are hot out of the kitchen and you can choose your sauce!

Will definitely be back! Came for taco Tuesday. 12.99 for All you can eat tacos. However I think it's actually 3 rounds of max 3 tacos each round but I'm not positive and we couldn't eat more than that anyways lol. The set up is chafing dishes with the meats ready to serve. They assemble the meat and tortillas and you top them off yourselves. The tortillas are singles and thin which was perfect. They have tri tip, chicken, brisket and pulled pork. The brisket and pulled pork were our top choices, but the brisket was definitely the star of the show. Tender, flavorful and easy to eat. The place had a lot of seating and a fun ambiance. Service was great, everyone here was super nice. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Tried their smokehouse bbq menu, ordered tri-tip, brisket, and ribs. We definitely recommend the brisket and ribs they were so soft and flavorful. Their mac and cheese is a must-try, the pepper jack cheese flavor works so well with their barbecue sauce! The staff were helpful and kind, would definitely come again! read more

New menu & was excited to try! OH MAN. DISAPPOINTED! Super bummed :/ Rice is Undercooked & beyond crunchy. Meat was fatty, chewy/tough & over cooked. At 15$ that's cr*ppy. Food was made like they want to go out business. Would have called to get my money back but they closed. The shrimp was great but don't know if I'd go back with the rest of the meal being so bad. It got thrown in the trash. read more

Ordered pick up for dinner last night. Got 1 of every meat, including mac&cheese, potatoe salad, bbq beans, banana pudding and hawaiian bread. Drove 40 mins. to pick up our order and even though it said ready online, still had to wait once arriving. When we got home, noticed that the bread was missing, okay whatever just bread right? but still paid for it. After serving and opening sides, the bbq beans had less then a container of beans and was more full of the bean juices. Mac&cheese was dry, had no sauce coating or a cheese pull anywhere. Plus just tasted like wet noodles. All the meats were dry, no bbq sauce was provided on the side or on any of the meats in general. I understand if it's just smoked meats but considering the name has bbq in it one can assume there is some bbq. The one thing that gets a five star is the sausage, it has a nice snap to it. full of flavor and spicy. Just as advertised. Inside is neat very much what you would assume with wooden picnic tables but no A/C so it is warm for sure on a hot day. All around maybe it was an off day, mid week Wednesday but idk. read more

Another 5 star review! Chicken bowls here are so good! Service is great and is family owned. You may catch Jared and his wife Mandy working. I recommend the sweet garlic teriyaki sauce and their pork is so good! Coming back soon and trying other menu items like their wings salads. read more

We have been going here for the last two years. This is a great place to have fantastic BBQ, cold beer, and listen to music (AMI jukebox). The service has always been great, but today they topped themselves. Just love our Norco people and businesses. The brisket and pulled pork are our favorites. We went on a long horse ride today and tied up to get our BBQ on, it was hot today and Eric and Nick found a bucket and filled it with cool water for our guys. Then they carried it to them and let each horse get its fill. Thanks for the hospitality and what a great team they have. Will be back soon. read more

My husband and I have been eyeing this spot for a long time. We finally made our way in and right off the bat the vibe is very calm and made me feel comfortable at home. While the name is very misleading, I do understand why the menu change after reading the owners comments below. We shared a chicken and shrimp plate. Presentation was nice. Good amount of food for the price. Lots of flavor in all of the sauces. The cashier was very nice and explained the menu and her favorites. We would probably come back. read more

They changed their menu...not BBQ anymore. Give them a break! I went in on their buy one/get one promo day and it was busy! I ordered the chicken bowl and it literally says on the menu what it is, chicken, rice, green onion and your choice of sauce. I wish I went with another sauce as the teriyaki was just plain for me, but that was my bad. I thought the bowl was good, just good. Maybe next time I'll have to try some appetizers or sides. But it's worth a try! read more

I saw this place on Instagram and thought this would be a cool spot to support a local family business and feed the family. There is a lot that needs to be improved. First, the atmosphere and the food don't make sense at all. You walk in and think they will have some good American bbq. It's teriyaki only. The restaurant does not even smell like grilled meat, bbq or teriyaki. Second, food wasn't even good. It smells like bad plumbing. Third, service was a huge disappointment. The staff didn't smile. They didn't seem happy to be there and didn't offer suggestions. Just because it's a casual atmosphere, it does not have to be dirty. I could see dried up spills near the cash register and soda machine. The bathrooms are gross and the tables are also dirty. I have no desire to go back. read more

Came back to give you an additional star for reaching back out to me and offer some background to your business and why traditional bbq is not longer offered. Differently didn't need help with the menu. I do feel it's customary to explain or make some recommendations for popular menu items when it's the customers first time in your establishment. Anyhow...Wish you all the best in your businesses new direction. read more

The brisket was good the service was okay. We liked all of our sides especially the macaroni and cheese. The decor is cool and very patriotic. The portions and prices are reasonable. read more

The name is misleading, they no longer sell anything BBQ. Overnight the menu was updated with new options. Since the menu change we have visited two times and never again. On both occasions we experienced the same issues. * short staffed. (The staff is really friendly) It took an average of 40 mins to be served for a party of 4. * food quality was not good. My meal this last came was the worse. I had the short rib with shrimp plate. The ribs where tough and cool. Considering how long it took, it should have been fresh. My daughter left her chicken bowl, her meat was slightly pink in the middle. * both times, they had been out of tap options for beer and soft drinks. Both times we visited on Sunday and it could have been to timing, I just haven't had this happen 2xs in the same establishment. We live in the community and love supporting our local business. This is one we will no longer frequent. read more

Hold on to your hats... there is a new BBQ in town and it's on fire with good eats!! The Speakeasy in Norco is one of the best bbq restaurants I've been to in SoCal in a while. The menu is simple but varied. Your choice of meats and delicious sides. My friend and I had the pulled pork for two and we had plenary enough to take some home. We had the Mexican corn and cowboy beans as our sides . The beans had big chunks of meat in them with just the right amount of tang. The Mexican corn!!!! Perfect. I could just eat the beans and corn and be happy... but why would I when the pulled pork was tender and amazing! Very simple dining. You order at the counter they bring it out. Long picnic tables with benches and your bbq sauces along with paper towels within arms reach Jarod took our orders, answered our questions and was delightful! I wasn't sure about the coleslaw ( I'm picky) so he gave me a little sample. It was fresh and crisp... just turns out I didn't like it. I prefer the sweet mayonnaise based and this was the vinegar based. I'm sure it's as good as everything else if you like that type of slaw. All in all I give it a 10 out of 10!!! You must visit the Speakeasy in Norco! BTW they have taco Tuesday specials from 5-8 and on Thursday 10% discount for seniors. They also honor our men and women in service along with first responders with a discount!!!! read more

I go by speak easy BBQ on my way to the 15 freeway at least twice a week. On my way home on Thursday, 4/10/25 stopped in to pickup what I thought was barbecue but instead it was sticky rice with chicken on top, a small side salad, an egg role and an Asian dumpling. The meal was cold. I ate some of the chicken with the garlic sauce, the egg role but that was about it. This was not the barbecue I had expected. I won't be coming back to your restaurant. I'm a cook and I know good food when I see it. Placed the box in the frig to toss trash day. read more

Yes sir! A different type of BBQ!! Real good! Chicken, salad, and. gyoza is great! Norco is lucky to get something different!

A friend recommended this place for BBQ and can't believe took me this long to tryout this place. We ordered the Capitalist sandwich with brisket instead of tri-tip. The layers of the sandwich is phenomenal! Crispy buns, layer of brisket, cold slaw, pickled onions, jalapeño and top off with cheddar cheese. So, so delicious. Casual dining And cool vibes. Order at the counter and they will bring the foods out to your table. read more

I recommend this place!!! The food is tasty and the service is outstanding. We were welcomed by what we believe is one of the owners (the wife of the "chef"), and she was very nice, patient, detailed and attentive. The ambiance has a western feel and lighting is dim. Definitely check out this spot! The food was delicious! We got the two specialty bbq sandwiches (tri-tip and pulled pork). We were recommended to add a link the next time we go. We absolutely will!!! Btw, if you like cheese on your sandwich, you will be happy lol! I apologize for the poor quality pictures. I wanted to at the very least capture some of our food once we started to dig in (thought about it late). read more

This place is a middle hole in the wall gem. I thought I was coming in for American bbq but no it's more like wings and healthy delicious teriyaki plates. It's like a better version of waba grill. Every time I go in it's pretty empty which makes no sense to me because the food is really good at a cheap price for the amount of food and flavor you get. The service is great, the place is clean and there are plenty of seats. A Norco gem. I read more

Not sure what's happening. Cole slaw was bland no dressing and a little. Ribs dry and no flavor. No potato salad...chicken no flavor... beans tasted sour... we have been going there often but today was just a disappointment. read more

Mandy was very helpful making sense of the menu. It was our first time there. I knew it wasn't a traditional BBQ restaurant and I'm familiar with Teriyaki cooking. Food was great and Mandy was more than accommodating when she realized they were low on vegetables for my Beef and Shrimp plate. My wife had the Chicken and Shrimp and neither plate was a disappointment. I wonder if all the one star reviews of Speakeasy are from people who went to a different restaurant than I did. read more

This was $129 where is the beef?? Called last week for a reservation, and was set for 1pm on Father's Day. We arrived before that, and was told "just grab a bench first come first serve".....what's the point of a reservation?? No brisket, ribs, potato salad, or bread, so gal at register suggested these available meets. We ordered 1/2 pound chicken and 1/2 pound sausage.....that isn't wait we got. Three pieces of sausage doesn't equal 1/2 pound! Chicken was dry and tasted old and reheated. Shredded meat was extremely dry and tasted less then fresh. Mac-N-Cheese, beans, and Mexican street corn sides were the best part of the meal. Ordered banana pudding to go, and it was room temperature, and bananas were not ripe. We were told next time we can call ahead to order the meats we want to ensure it's available to consume read more

Thanks to Luv2Promote, we decided to try the Taco Tuesday 'ALL-U-CAN-EAT' at Speakeasy BBQ. WOW! We tried an assortment of meat offerings from, Tri-tip, Chicken, Brisket, Pulled Pork and Birria. The corn tortillas for the tacos were exceptionally warm, soft and flavorful lil disks capable of holding any meat filling! Plenty of cilantro, pickled onions, cotija cheese and sauce to accessorize your tacos your own way. Ambiance is not a distractor while it gives way for the reason you came here in the first place...the BBQ! The music was fun, the employees were cheerful and helpful. An assortment of beverages and dessert too! We'll be heading back to dine on a Thursday Night 'ALL-U-CAN-EAT' challenge between the hubby and myself. read more

I'm giving it a 3. Why because I walked out after seeing the menu. Apparently they changed it a few months ago. Not BBQ anymore. More of Asian flavors. Which sucks because we loved their brisket, corn and beans! read more

We arrived at 5pm on a Wednesday night. Our first time. The place was pretty empty. The staff was very pleasant and welcoming. They answered our questions. We ordered a Quattro for our party of 4 adults. It was just the right amount t of food. All the meats were well prepared and tasty. Nothing was dry or under seasoned. The sides were very good. They were out of potato salad and substituted macaroni salad, which was disappointing as one of the sides was macaroni & cheese. But all the sides were very tasty. The beans had a bit of a bite to them but very good. Seating is family style picnic tables. The banana pudding was excellent! The only negative is the music was way too loud. Holding a conversation with the people in our group was hard. But we definitely would return! read more

We ordered food for dinner to go and below are my ratings. Corn: 4.5/5 Excellent taste! Coleslaw: 4/5 It has great taste but a little watery. Beans: 4/5 Good flavor and meaty. Potato salad: 1/5 Absolutely lacked flavor and just tasted like boiled potato. Macaroni: 3/5 Average taste. Nothing spectacular about it. Brisket: 2/5 The meat was tough and extra fatty. Hot links: 4/5 Had great taste and spice. Chicken: 3.5/5 Had smoke flavor but not very good seasoning. Pulled pork: 3/5 Average taste, nothing to really remember it by. Truly lacked flavor. Ribs: 4/5 Fall off the bone but lacked some seasoning. Overall it was just average bbq. Definitely was not worth the amount of money spent on the dish. read more

My first time on taco Tuesday at this BBQ joint. Let me tell you food I am from The great state of texas and eat regularly at BBQ award winning places like Blacks, Franklins, Stubbs and coopers. I am pleasantly surprised that I found the same quality in California. Speakeasy's is a family atmosphere with a country twist. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable on BBQ. I had tue brisket (moist), tri-tip, pulled pork and chicken. The process was easy and fun to get tue various meats on delicious corn tortillas. Warm. Chipped or sliced fresh and all where prepared over white oak in a classic smoker. If you are wanting authentic BBQ and banana pudding look no further fellow BBQ lovers. I tried . BBQ Brisket BBQ Chicken and Pulled Pork. All where awesome. Craig F read more
