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

Wagon Wheel provided lunch for our baby shower and were absolutely fantastic! Stormy, the event coordinator, was super easy to work with and very responsive. The food was absolutely delicious and the event staff were professional and friendly. Everyone raved about the pulled pork specifically, saying it was the best they have ever had. I would not hesitate to use them for future events, highly recommend. 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

Wagon Wheel BBQ - Brisket Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Mountain View, California

Staff was friendly and the food was juicy and good. I wish the Cole slaw had more flavor but the Mac and cheese is delicious! The location is off the beaten path but it's worth finding it and chowing down! read more

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

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

Amazing bbq! Such a shame this location isn't more visible because it's a great treasure find! The staff were very friendly and food was served fast. My new go to bbq spot close to home. 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

The baked potato was the perfect mix of firm yet melty texture. I topped it with the most amazing brisket I've ever tasted. 10/10 for this delicious hidden gem. 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

First time coming to this place and the place is very clean. I like how they have their oven in front of the store and it gives off that authenticity. Food wise the portions are big and they know how to cook their bbq. Sauces are on point and not too overwhelming. They have a good amount of beer and drink selection too. The person taking care of the front is nice and efficient. Really friendly staff read more

Wagon wheel catered an event I organized. The food was amazing. and the service, prompt and friendly. I can't comment on the ambience at their location, because I haven't been there, but I certainly recommend their catering service! read more

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

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

What can I say but this place is definitely 100% cowboy! My first time there today, I ordered pulled pork to go. Walking in... I felt like I was in the wild west with some incredible beers, outstanding service and that made me feel like I was back in old Texas somewhere. When I stepped outside ready to head home, I was looking for my horse! read more

Came here right before the Korn concert at Shoreline. Order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. Brisket Sandwich (large): a ciabatta like roll stuffed with flavorful and juicy brisket. They do the brisket real well here, and the sandwich is served up real simple with just brisket on the buttered roll with some pickles and pickled onions on the side. I thought it was excellent! Potato salad: a semi mashed chunky delight with good mustard flavor. Not bland which I'm impressed by! Service is friendly and efficient. I learned that it's sister restaurants with South Winchester BBQ in San Jose, which explains why the potato salads and briskets are each so similar! read more

Pretty decent. Sausage was okay, burnt ends were very good. Only real issue was that the sauce dispensers were empty; they had enough sauce in to-go cups to get by, but it added a little friction. read more

Fantastic BBQ is a friendly quiet location. I had the Tri-tip sandwich and it was easily the best I've ever had. The meet was perfect and the br ad was better than it had to be. The beer selection was decent and the staff was friendly. Will define be back. read more

What a find! Hole in the wall, off the beaten path, and excellent food. We totally enjoyed our meal here. The barbecue chicken plate was excellent - chicken was moist and tender, the baked potato was perfectly cooked and the Cole slaw was light with very little mayo. The pulled pork was delicious, the friction was lightly smoked and lean, beans were good. Frankly, we all were very happy with our choices. The catering looks good too - what an easy way to have a "barbecue"!!! read more

If asoon as you enter the shop, the smell of wood smoke permeates the air - you know it's gonna be legit! The brisket, which I asked for fatty brisket only, was extremely juicy and tender. The burnt ends were good too, though maybe I'd try a different meat first. The Mac and Cheese was also the perfect texture of creaminess too. When I asked for a suggestion, I was recommended the baked beans, which ended up being more like a chili, and it was delicious! Solid spot, and now probably one of my favorites up the peninsula! read more

I went here today and it was absolutely fantastic! The portions are huge, delicious and definitely a great bang for your buck especially for quality BBQ. The Brisket had a fantastic smoke ring and was extremely tender. The sides I got, mac n cheese, corn bread and garlic bread were awesome as well! The service was insanely fast and the ambiance is exactly what you want from a BBQ spot. If you're in the area this is definitely a great spot. read more

Wagon Wheel BBQ provided food and service at a backyard event for my party of 90 guests and everything was great. We ordered the tri tip, chicken, beans, mac and cheese and garlic bread. We sampled the cornbread and potato salad at the mountain view location prior to placing our order and found those just ok so chose other options. The staff who managed our event were right on time and all the food was delicious and fresh. Great job and hope to use their services in the future. read more

We came 30 minutes before closing on a weekend and there were just a couple tables taken, plenty of seating. My friend and I shared a 2 meat combo for a light dinner. We got the brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, and potato salad. They were out of cornbread as a side but it came with garlic bread. It also came with some pickled onions and jalapeños. Everything was DELICIOUS. Their bbq sauce on the table was great too. The pulled pork wasn't the saucy sloppy joe-esque kind but more like smoky juicy meat that didn't need sauce. The brisket was tender and fatty. The mac and cheese was really hearty. The pickles balanced all the heavy creamy and fatty flavors. Service was very nice and helpful. I will say the restroom is a little sus, I wonder if it has to do with how the back door is open and the location is kinda secluded.. 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

I was surprised by the high ratings and number of reviews, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The meat wasn't served hot, and the side dishes tasted like they were store-bought. The "cornbread" seemed more like a slice of regular bread than actual cornbread. The BBQ sauce also appeared to be store-bought--they even had a gallon jug on the counter for customers to pour into small cups themselves. Overall, it just wasn't the quality I was expecting. read more

We had a BBQ w/ almost 100 people on Fri. 5-15-26 for the completion celebration for a Google construction project. Wagon Wheel did an incredible job. The staff was efficient and professional and the food was absolutely fantastic! I received MANY compliments about the food from our guests. A very successful event thanks to Wagon wheel. read more

My review is strictly on their brisket. It's average at best. It wasn't moist and tender. I've had plenty of briskets at other BBQ spots and this was chewy. Flavor was good but that's about it read more

Only got 3 meats to go. 1/2# each brisket, tri-tip, and pulled pork. I love very smokey BBQ, and the brisket delivered. Good enough that I ordered some for Thanksgiving, along with a whole smoked turkey and a pecan and pumpkin pie read more

Brisket was too tough, and very dry. For $34 a lb it was not worth it. I, had to take rest home for my dog. However, service was good. read more

I love how you step into this restaurant, and it smells like smoked meat! We were quickly greeted by friendly employees. We had a reservation, but there was enough seating on a Sunday morning for customers to drop in. We ordered a Mother's Day special, where you pick your meats and sides. Everything was served family style: brisket, pork ribs, tri-tip, garlic bread, mac and cheese, coleslaw, and potato salad. It also came with homemade sweet pickled cucumbers, jalapeños, and red onions (really tasty, esp those jalapeños!). The meal was delicious! Meat is flavorful and well seasoned. We enjoyed trying the two barbecue sauces they offer (original and spicy). Sides were fine, but not the highlight; we thought it was still nice to have something to eat with the meat. We came as a party of 6, and everyone had good things to say about the restaurant. You're also given moist towelettes and Andes mints! Lovely! Will def be back to enjoy another tasty BBQ meal! read more

Went here on late Saturday. Really large place, good for large team dinners or lunches. Pros: Fast service got it immediately as I sat down. The spicy bbq sauce has a good amount of spice Ribs were moist. Pickles and jalapeños were spicy. Cons: Brisket was a bit dry. They have Thanksgiving turkey deal pre-orders right now. read more
