Ribs so tender the fall off the bone... Tri-tip seasoned to perfection. Solid sides and delicious bread pudding and cobbler for dessert. Service was fantastic. Casual atmosphere. read more

Delicious food, great portions, expedient, clean, and excellent service! I will be back.

This is a hidden spot. The same menu as Mission BBQ - Santa Cruz, 152 in Gilroy, and the BBQ Pit in San Jose. The food was delicious even though there was only one couple in the restaurant at 5pm on Sunday. The brisket, tri tip, chicken, baked potato, coleslaw, potato salad, garlic bread and Mac and cheese were all delicious! From the parking lot, the place looked closed and questionable cause of the weird location it is in. However, there really isn't anything to worry about as it is very safe. We'll be back! read more

Great food and service. Stopped by after work and heard a lot about this place so I had to check it out. Right off Moffet Blvd on 101 is where it's located with minimal parking. Got the regular tri tip meal with potato salad & Mac and cheese and cokes with corn bread. Trip tip was tender and juicy. Potato salad wasn't too bad but it was flavorful. Mac and cheese were really good. Not soggy or too much cheese at all. The cornbread was crispy on the edges and really buttery. Must try bbq place in Mountain View. read more

Wagon Wheel BBQ - Two Meat Meal - Barbeque Near Me - Mountain View, California

Here is my two cents on the quality quantity on Wagon Wheel. It was delivered via Instacart using the Uber Eats... When you use Instacart with Uber eats it's always later than they claim... I ordered potato salad, St. Louis style rib, and hot links.... For the price I paid I thought it was a little expensive... A small portion for potato salad only about three ribs and one hot link.... I only got one hot link at seven dollars... they tasted all just fine but nothing outstanding... I'm sure they're making lots of money off of the portions. Anyway, I do recommend trying them, but don't expect anything spectacular. read more

The locals and regulars are going to hate me for this, but this American BBQ spot tucked away in the corner of the city is such a gem. The brisket is honestly the best I've ever had and the burnt ends were just right. Not to mention the buttered cornbread is baked just right. read more

Got ton of takeout for 8 people. Ordering online was easy, with curbside pickup available. Food was ready on time, well-packed with butter and honey for the cornbread, and they were great asking whether we needed utensils and plates. MEATS 1 lb tri tip - stole the show, you can see how juicy it is Full rack ribs - falling off the bone tender, though wish there was more going on with the rub 2 lb brisket - we expected to be a crowd fave so I ordered extra but was actually a bit dry! Good strip of fat and crust though. Wonder if an off night. 1 lb pulled pork - appreciated the mix of textures here, though personally wish I had some Carolina Vinegar bbq sauce with this 1/2 chicken - just had a bite and it was moist, good lighter bbq option SIDES Beans - flavorful Mac n cheese - good texture and v cheesy Potato salad - more seasoned and less creamy than most (which I like) Cornbread - thin like literal slices of bread - cornmeal bread loaf? Not a big fan but significantly improved warmed with butter and honey Farmer's salad - should love this on paper but maybe I didn't like the dressing? Something was off today. I can see myself getting this with tri tip on top and another dressing in the future. Cobbler - simple but surprisingly good, not very sweet, perfect warmed in the oven and served with ice cream. Quite a sizable portion. Highly recommend! Almost everything (all the meats, rubs, sauce, sides except Mac and bread) are gluten free which is great. We had a whole container of meat and cornbread and half the sides leftover. read more

Was in the area and decided BBQ was a good option for dinner. Wagon Wheel BBQ has been in my bookmarks for a while and decided to give it a try. Order at the counter, seat yourself and food brought out. Decided on the Two Meat Combos with 3 sides: :: Brisket and Burnt Ends Brisket was tender, not overly seasoned and delicious. Burnt ends were (IMO) not my thing - tough leathery, dry pieces smothered in bbq sauce - a meat left behind! 2.5/5 :: Brisket and Pork Ribs - both good options and would stick with that next time. Sides: Mac n cheese - creamy cheese and tasty, Cole slaw was enjoyed. Beans were a bit undercooked and sweet (like they used the bbq sauce), garlic bread or corn bread. Decent options Overall, 3.5 stars...recommend the ribs and brisket...avoid the burnt ends based on my experience tonight. Realized spot is the sister spot to Redwood City BBQ and South Winchester BBQ as they have the same recognizable menu items and bottled BBQ sauce. Small parking lot in front and right off Moffett Blvd from Highway 101 near NASA Ames Research Center. Average price/person with no drink: $32 with tax and tip read more

Great spot for bbq in the South bay. The brisket is delicious and the ribs are great too. I commend their management as well, there was a small mistake on my order, and the manager made sure I got refunded for my order. Highly recommend this spot! read more

We got the 3 meat combo, and it came with 2 sides and cornbread. We got chicken, brisket, and pork ribs with potato salad and mac n cheese. We got the food super fast. The cornbread wasn't that special. They have 5 beers on tap and a variety of canned beers. I would definitely get the brisket if we come back. Service was good, and the place smells so good inside. A lot of tables available! read more

Located on a corner with easy parking. This place had quite a few tables full on a weekday with many people biking over so parking was plenty. We could immediately smell the smoky bbq when we got out of the car and were prepared for a delicious meal. The place is quite large with lots of tables and plenty of seating. The decor is nice too, but it totally bugged me that a couple of the ceiling fans didn't match with the rest. Also the bathroom I used had Italian pictures on the walls which was a little off for a bbq spot. They also have some merch like t-shits for sale. I got a brisket meal, and my fiancee went with tri tip. The food came out quickly which was great because we were both starving! The meat was very tasty, the sides were just ok. I love that they have a local soda on tap with many delicious flavors to choose from. read more

7/31/25 Wagon Wheel 861 Leong Dr Mountain View, CA 94043 Yet another repeat at my favorite MTV BBQ restaurant. We went for a late lunch on a Thursday and it was not very busy. We ordered the Brisket and 4 Rib BBQ plates at the counter and our food was brought to our table quickly. My tasty smoky brisket was a little dry but enjoyable. Wifey's ribs were tender and not quite fall off the bone but really tasted good. I was happy and full. A great value and forever repeatable. read more

We were craving bbq, especially after hearing a neighborhood favorite just closed down. So we found this place doing an online search. It was a little hidden in a part of Mountain View we don't normally frequent. The restaurant was quaint with ample seating, and clean restrooms. There seemed to be a party room on the side (but it wasn't open at the time of our visit). We went on a weeknight, around 8:15 PM, a little before their 9 PM closing. We were sad to hear they had run out of a lot of menu items, including the brisket, burnt ends, cornbread, etc. Some of them ran out around 5 PM so they didn't even have enough for the dinner crowd! Overall I'd give it 5 stars for the food that they did have (we tried their hot links, tri-tip, and pork ribs, which were all tasty), but 4 stars for the service (it was not very friendly nor helpful for our first time there, but perhaps it was because English wasn't the cashier's first language). Additionally they started cleaning up the restaurant at around 8:30 PM so we're lucky we grabbed some bbq sauce before that. We might consider going back again to try their brisket (which is what we were wanting this time), but would probably call first to make sure they didn't run out. Note: We heard from friends who were there that apparently they often run out in the late afternoons, which begs the question - why don't you just make more?! read more

Food is delicious, service is great!! Beer selection is also pretty good. Has become a favorite spot for weekday lunch.

Overall, the food was okay, but it didn't feel like a real BBQ experience. The burnt ends were so heavily sauced that I couldn't taste much besides the BBQ sauce itself. I also tried the brisket and the tri-tip, and neither had the smoky flavor I was expecting from proper slow-cooked barbecue. The meat just didn't stand out. The prices were reasonable, but the place didn't have the atmosphere I usually look for in a BBQ spot. I was expecting something a little cozier or more inviting. Instead, the space felt pretty plain, and the overall vibe didn't match the comforting feel that good BBQ usually gives. I was hoping for smoky flavors, a simple strong menu, and a place that feels a little more welcoming. For me, it just didn't deliver. Honestly, I don't understand how this place has such a high rating. You all deserve better BBQ than this. read more

really tasty bbq! I got the pork ribs and would recommend those. The hogshaw sauce I believe was the name, was good, I added it to everything. I got the 2 meat plate with coleslaw, potato salad, and garlic bread. Everything was good but next time I might get corn bread instead of garlic bread as I feel like it didn't fit with the foods I got. My bf got the 3 meat plate with pork ribs, brisket and tri tip. the brisket was fatty and good, he said next time he's gonna get 2 briskets and 1 tri tip and he wishes the coleslaw was more saucey but I liked the coleslaw the way it was bc I felt healthier lol It was also super cute inside I liked the ambience and then for all the food I got, I think I waited only 3 mins so the service was very very fast. will be returning soon! read more

I should've taken the empty parking lot as a sign. The woman at the counter couldn't have been less interested in helping anyone - barely a greeting, no smile, and less than zero effort. When I asked what the difference was between portion sizes, she flatly said, "one has more." I mean... really? That should've been my cue to leave, but I figured I'd give the BBQ a fair shot. Didn't get a drink cup, either, just a half-hearted gesture toward the stack next to her like I should already know the drill - and yes, I grabbed my own. The food was okay at best: the brisket was about 20% gristle, the sauce tasted straight from a bottle, and the cornbread was honestly the only thing worth finishing. Plenty of parking, though (you can infer what you want). And maybe it's just me, but seeing three "5-star" reviews from October, all written by people with a single review to their name, doesn't exactly inspire confidence. Between that, the disinterested service, and the forgettable food, I wouldn't come back even if it were free. read more

I was craving Texas style BBQ brisket and found Wagon Wheel on yelp. I ordered takeout -- 1/2 lb tri tip and 1/2 lb brisket. The brisket had a nice layer of fat on top. The meat was nice and Smoky. I wish it had more fat throughout the meat itself was overall very good. The tri tip was nice and tender, medium doneness. It also has a nice hint of smokiness. I will definitely go back and try the ribs! read more

Wagon Wheel BBQ - Tri tip in the left and brisket in the left... to go. There was more meat but I had eaten some already lol - Barbeque Near Me - Mountain View, California

Short Story: An average barbecue place in the south bay. Long Story: I came here on a Saturday afternoon and had pre-ordered online to-go. I ordered the basics such as: pulled pork, brisket, tri-tip, and smoked chicken. The prices are in line with expectations and the service (even to-go) was great. However the food itself was a bit lacking. It did not stand out especially when compared to other barbecue places such as Smoked Out BBQ, Jackie's Place, Mesquite & Oak, etc. I'm not saying this place is bad but I can't differentiate it. Verdict: I'll be willing to give it another try in a few months. read more

This is a great bbq spot! My younger sister had them cater her baby shower a few years back in which we all enjoyed. Yesterday we came with my family and got to sit inside the quiet room in the back which might be for big groups/parties. I love the intimacy and space it provides. We loved our entire spread! My sister treated us to delicious ribs, beef brisket, chicken, cornbread, garlic bread, beans and mashed potatoes. We also loved their baked potatoes which has a nice salt & pepper crust on the skin. Everything was on point and served hot and fresh. I'd like to thank Jose, our server and the cashier! He was so nice and very patient with us. He gave us everything we needed and made sure we were well taken care of. For dessert we loved their bread pudding with ice cream, blueberry pie and chocolate pie. We also paired our dessert with coffee. This was the perfect place for dinner for me and my fam. Great time for sure! I will say I do wish they changed out their soda machine; two flavors were already tapped out and serving just bubbles, the iced tea machine wasn't pouring well and wasn't giving the right iced tea flavor. I think they should swap this whole thing for either a basic soda machine (coke, sprite, Dr Pepper, etc,) or those new machines that pour multiple sodas and lemonades. I also recommend a small station of different bbq sauces and jars of pickled onions, jalapeños, etc. this would make it easier for people to grab rather than asking the employees. Also, it gives a better experience because people love condiments. This is just my take. Overall, I love this bbq restaurant and will definitely come back with my family again! read more

3.5 stars rounded up. Wagon Wheel BBQ is getting four stars by the skin of their teeth. Had my group not ordered almost every meat on the menu to sample, I would've given my tried & trues -- burnt ends & pork ribs -- an unfavorable rating. I've had better version of these elsewhere as the burnt ends here were tough & I didn't enjoy the pork rib flavor. Since I couldn't count on Wagon Wheel for these items, I turned to their hot links & brisket to better judge their offerings; good thing I did because they were juicy & flavorsome. These meats & the sides salvaged this review. Mac & cheese was notably better than other bbq joints, & the potato salad & beans (a bit on the sweet side) were crowd faves. Hard to mess up a loaded baked potato, as well. I didn't try the dark meat chicken, pulled pork, or tri tip but those in my group who did said everything was excellent. My bf even went as far as to say Wagon Wheel is his favorite BBQ spot of all the places we've tried recently. As for dessert, skip the bread pudding. read more

Pretty decent BBQ place in the heart of Silicon Valley. The Brisket Sandwich was done perfectly, the sauce was tasty & the accompanying cornbread yummy. Lots more to try on the menu, have to come back. Glad to have found this place, as BBQs are rare in the area, the one in Castro closed down recently. The place is neat & spacious, service was quick, prices ok for the area. read more

We ordered takeout on 4th of July and it was poppin! We got the 1 entree plates and while we were full and not stuffed, I did want more meat. Pork ribs (4 ribs)- yum, fell right off the bone Brisket (3 pieces)- yum, tender, seasoned well BBQ sauce good Potato salad- +/- wasn't my favorite potato salad Coleslaw- good Mac n cheese- also decent Cornbread- just ok, pretty dry Pricing was definitely fair and reasonable. Next time, I'd probably opt for the combo plates to try more! read more

Uniqueness: Classic BBQ spot, but nothing particularly innovative Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] (Instant seating, felt more like a takeout spot) Food Quality: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Service: [x][x][x][x][ ] Setting: [x][x][x][ ][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Came in expecting some solid BBQ, and while the brisket had a nice smoky flavor, the biggest letdown was that everything was cold. It really took away from the experience--BBQ should be fresh, hot, and juicy, not feel like it's been sitting around. Service was friendly, but with hardly anyone in the restaurant and food coming out quickly, it was clear this place operates more like a takeout spot. The setting was basic, nothing special, and not really a place where you'd want to hang out for long. For the price, I expected better execution. If they focused on serving food hot and fresh, it could be a solid go-to, but as it stands, it's hard to justify coming back. read more

There aren't too many bbq places in the area. This one is good. Our family shared two meals, the tri tip and brisket with Mac and cheese, beans and corn bread, the ribs and pulled pork with mac and cheese, coleslaw and garlic bread and we had the bbq spud. It is a big potato and we had it with the burnt ends. We called in a to go order at 11:30 on Sunday. Food was ready in 20 minutes. Food was warm when we got home. They gave us regular bbq and spicy bbq sauce. All the meat was good but better dipped in bbq sauces. Beans were different, not completely soft and not really bbq flavored. I thought the mac and cheese was too mushy and not my favorite flavor. Corn bread was good. Garlic bread smelled delish but soft. It was to go. Potato was cooked thru and my favorite. I love baked potatoes. Three tables were occupied, a couple, a father and two kids and one person alone. I saw one person in the kitchen and one was at the counter. It was clean and it was quiet on a Sunday afternoon. My family decided they would love to go in or get take out again. read more

I have had takeout from this little spot several times while staying at a nearby hotel. I have to say that the ribs are absolutely delicious and the brisket is great as well. My latest order was the 4 rib meal with potato salad and garlic bread. I have to say on the negative side that the cornbread is not good at all. It's not sweet like normal cornbread. The potato salad is pretty good and the coleslaw is way under seasoned and very disappointing but the meat is really great. the garlic bread is edible. I say stick with the meat and you'll be fine. read more

Solid place brisket was awesome will be back here again came here for lunch first time just here when they open at 11 there a line at 11:30

Good food. Ambiance was fine and quaint. Service yourself type place. Could use more condiments.

Great BBQ in the South Bay! They have a very unassuming location right off the 101 freeway. The inside decor is nice and there is a larger room in the back for larger groups. We ordered: -The Gaucho sandwich with mac and cheese: this was good and came with one side. The brisket was soft and the chimichurri sauce was good. I wish there was more sauce like in the picture. The pickled vegetables on the side added a nice touch. But, there was also a huge piece of fat in my sandwich that I took out. - Tri Tip BBQ meal with cole slaw and potato salad: the meat was flavorful and came with 2 sides. The potato salad was good and the cole slaw was okay per my husband. The food came out fast. Next time my husband wants to try the burnt ends. Tips: - In Dec: they had some promos like buy a $50 gift card and get $10. - bring a toy for their toy drive and get 20% off your purchase. - Came with a small Andes candy and a hand wipe - they have a rewards program that you can sign up for read more
