    My best friend recommended that we meet here to watch one of the Mexico games, it was my first time here and sadly my last time because of an incident that was very unfair and rude! We had reservations for 6PM and we were going to be seated at a table in the main dining area (no TV's in this area btw!) so we asked to be sat in the bar area so we can watch the game. I am happy they accommodated us with this, but the bar area was pretty empty still. There was lots of open tables. We got sat at a table with one of the chairs was facing the wall (in other words whoever sat here could not watch or see the TV). There was a table for 4 next to us that was empty for about 20 mins already, so we asked the waitress if we can be moved there instead it was literally right next to us. Her responses were: 1) that is for a reservation, and I let her know we also had a reservation. To that she replied but 2) You are a party of 2 and that's for a party of 4 ONLY. About 10 minutes later, a couple (2 people) that were sitting at a table for 2 on the other side of the bar area, got up and moved to the table for 4 that we requested. The waitress and staff saw this and nobody told them anything. I figured it out quickly that she was an off-duty employee so maybe that's why, but that is still very very wrong. I am a BIG tipper when I feel that the service was good, in this case it was not but I still left her $5. After this interaction with her, there was no way I would have tipped her more than that. Would love for a manager to reach out!

    The hostess was friendly and welcoming. The bar staff was friendly and made great mock drinks. Reservations are good because this place gets busy. Rustic wood leather vibe. Comfortable seating. The food is great served hot not to heavy in the smoke department. Off the bone delicious juicy. We will be back. Thank you everyone at Steve's BBQ.

    Walked right in after having reservations so that was good. Just know when you go here that everything is made to order, so be prepared to wait. We got the Rib eye, baby back ribs, tri top and brisket. The ribs came out a little dry. But they immediately replaced them, which I thought was a great customer service. The waitress was very informative breaking down the menu. We got a total of six sides, just wanting to try everything... by far. The best side was their fries. If butter and fries had a baby that is what you will eat... they were amazing.!!! Rib eye was juicy and cooked perfectly. Tritip had much flavor. Mashed potatoes and corn were just ok. Nothing bad to complain about. I will be going back. Our bill was 280 for 4 people but we all had leftovers for the next day! Overall it was the best bbq in town

    This is a family owned business that takes pride in their cooking. This is a place I regularly come visit with my bf, we both enjoy our time here and not to mention the food here is mouthwatering! My favorite dish to get is the brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese. My bf loves getting his 3 meat platter plate with bbq beans and fries. We are very big on bbq and this is honestly the best bbq restaurant in town! We love the margaritas as they make their syrup in house and we are never disappointed, as well as their Piña coladas! The service here is so welcoming and friendly, they care about their customers. I love dining in because it's always a cozy, dim lighting atmosphere that I like very much. There is a theatre right across the street as well as other cool stores and bars to check out. This is definitely a cute date night destination where you can enjoy a nice dinner and then a movie right after (:

    Baby back ribs very dry overcooked tasted like chili seasoning not a smoked barbecue flavor
    Rhonda B.

    I've heard people say this place is pretty good unfortunately we did not have that type of experience with the food This has nothing to do with the customer service, which was very, very good. It has to do with the food. The barbecue baby back ribs were very dry and overcooked They had no smoke flavor. As advertise on their website, it just taste like a chili seasoning with put on the ribs had no barbecue flavor whatsoever. The coleslaw did not have a great consistency. Coleslaw water down. No coleslaw flavor. Sorry to say, but the macaroni and cheese was not very good at all. No thickness consistency just very water down for flavor. our family will not be going back very disappointed. Our family spent a lot of money on their expensive food for it did not be high-quality.

    The nachos they brought to our table.  $25??????  WHERES THE MEAT??  Where the substance??? WHERE's THE NACHOS THEY POSTED ONLINE
    Pele K.

    This place is not as it appears on their online social media post. The food pictures they post look nothing like the real thing. The drinks suck and basically overall DISAPPOINTING! They charged us $25 for these nasty nachos that looked nothing like the online picture. SAD AND Disappointing since we drove a distance to try them.

    I was in the Whittier area and was looking for a BBQ spot. This place was highly recommended by the locals. I was craving Brisket and saw it on the menu and couldn't help myself and ordered the Brisket sandwich. To my surprise they were out. First time going to a BBQ restaurant and they dont have Brisket. I tried the tri tip and it was good as well. Our waitress Melissa was very attentive and provided supreme service. Although they didnt have Brisket the venue was welcoming and would probably come back. My rating is only because they didnt have Brisket. That can always change in the future Photos of the food we ended up having.

    3 Meat Sampler, Baby back Ribs, Pork Belly, Beef Smoked BBQ Brisket, corn on the cob, potato salad and baked beans.

    Great service, everyone working there made sure each guest was taken care of. Great for large party,s or just dinning alone. Food was on point. Ribs were tender and full of flavor. Pork belly had just the right crispness. Beef brisket had a great bark to it. My only issue was it was a little too much fat for my taste, my husband loved it. The potato salad was so delicious. They no longer have a live band but they pump in some pretty good tunes. We will definitely be back.

    My sister recently took me to Steve's barbecue in Whittier for my birthday. There's street parking and alley parking. I almost missed the restaurant because it looks like it's part of an office building. I was very surprised when I walked in because I love how cozy, warm and inviting it is. They use lots of browns and faux leather pillows with nice padded bench seating. They also have a small bar towards the back of the restaurant with top tables. I was pleasantly surprised how pretty it was inside. Our waitress and busser were very friendly. We got there an hour before they closed and unfortunately missed out on the brisket. I definitely need to come back because that was what I came for. We ended up with a combination plate of barbecue and everything including the sides were delicious. In addition, we ordered a cocktail and a mocktail, and both were made fantastic. The waitress brought out a delicious bread pudding, dessert for my birthday and it was amazing. I wish they were closer to just so I can stop by and pick up another piece. This is definitely worth coming back and it's a great date night spot. It's a must!

    bbq burger: 1/2 lb cheeseburger, pulled pork, onion rings, pickles, garlic aioli on a brioche bun = $27

    Steve's BBQ is a lot nicer inside than it looks from the storefront. It certainly had me fooled. The inside is roomy and modern. In fact, there's a sizable bar in the back if you're just looking to grab a drink. We started off with an order of buffalo wings ($18). These were quite good. And quite substantial. The chicken was tender with a crispy exterior - not too bread-y per my preference. In fact, the chicken had a really nice, smokey taste. Delish. I ordered the chicken BLT ($21) with a side of fries. The sandwich comes with a grilled, boneless chicken breast, topped with bacon, lettuce + tomato on a fresh ciabatta. The chicken breast itself was succulent. It had good flavor and was the star of the show, however it definitely needed a better vessel than the ciabatta bread which subsequently succumbed to all the meat juices and crumpled apart. Tragic. The heat from the chicken breast also did a number to the lettuce (wilt city) and tomato. It was good, but then it wasn't. The BBQ Burger ($27) was good-ish. You get a half pound cheeseburger topped with pulled pork, onion rings, pickles, garlic aioli & bbq sauce on a brioche bun. It's a good burger, but could have stood without the pulled pork. Is it worth $27? Idk. The fries, on the hand, were delicious. I'd love to come back to try any of their BBQ entrees. The steep prices are a slight deterrent, especially for casual weeknight dinner. Steve's BBQ is a good dinner option for Uptown Whittier especially since so many of the nicer dining options places have close in recent times.

    First off I must say we started with the bourbon bread pudding omg that was absolutely delicious definitely recommend start with that because it's a lot of food. The food and sides delicious didn't disappoint. The Place is super cute especially for date night. Our server was very attentive and nice.

    Mac and cheese  mmm

    First time here celebrating my mom's birthday it was fantastic. Host was awesome and she was attentive! The server was great, friendly, and was always checking in to make sure everything is good. She was on top of the refills which I liked. There are lots of tables and a bar for a wonderful evening to have bbq. It was delicious. My ribs were cooked to perfection and the Mac and cheese was my favorite as it was creamy and cheesy. The definitely don't mess with their cheese proportions. The baked beans were delicious too. They were my moms favorite. The ribs were so yummy, tender, and juicy. Very flavorful! I will be back. It's in a great location of uptown Whittier.

We were even given rolls with butter as well. We actually chose this place because they have a cheese wheel and no one ended up ordering that. They also were very attentive and refilled our water without us asking. I got the rigatoni a las vodka with chicken, and my two other friends got the baked rigatoni and the fettuccine Alfredo. Our dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the chocolate Gelato and tiramasu for dessert. Those were a perfect night cap to our dinner and catch up session. The restaurant is deceptively big and had a whole back area, I am guessing for large parties. It was very clean and we were able to catch up without any issues. I definitely recommend coming here for the food and excellent service.
