Joseph TinnerSeptember 9, 2014This place is amazing. Cody was excellent and friendly server. Tri tip was awesome. Loved the time frozen environment. This place is quality AND better value than pretentious steak houses.Upvote2Downvote- Chris WongAugust 6, 2015"The whole range of Santa Maria barbecue tradition shows up here, from tri-tip to spicy oak-grilled linguiça sausage, a gift from the Portuguese who immigrated to the area in the ’30s and ’40s."Upvote1Downvote
Elizabeth GonzalezAugust 22, 2013The food was delicious! However, the bbq just tasted like grilled chicken, not bbq sauce flavor. The soup of the day was split pea soup.... Awesome!!! Loved it.

Michelle SampsonMay 28, 2012Great meat. Everything else very mediocre. Really need some fresh vegetables. My "fresh fruit " was canned pineapple! The " apple sauce" was canned apple pie filling. Yuk!UpvoteDownvote

"It's all good but I love the steak plate. It's already cut for you and comes with yummy bread. All you do is dig in!"
