Let’s just say super good love the chicken and tri tip omg so good !

Absolutely delicious food, right off the freeway. I had a combo with chicken and tritip. Both were well cooked and generous portions. I had the hot BBQ sauce, which is very hot, but also one of the best I have ever had, with a distinct note of cinnamon. For sides, I had cole slaw and potato salad. Once again, both of those are delicious. This was a great discovery that I will return to again.

My go-to is the tri-tip, chicken and hot link bowl!! The staff is friendly and welcoming, service is always great! The food, is SO flavorful and tender! The portions are good, there is just the right amount of each item, and their BBQ sauce is my absolute favorite, sometimes I stop by just for the sauce! If you are going to Santa Paula, stop by here to grab a bite to eat, and even if you're not in the area, make the trip out, it is worth the trip, and don't forget to grab dessert, their cheesecake is perfection!!

Did I die and go to the Heavens of the meats if so then don't bring me back. They killed the beef Ribs and the Tri-tip was perfect. I had to get another sauce cause I think I may have to spread that greatness on other stuff later. Come on down this crew has gots the meats.

Delicious back yard style home grilled meats Just go have some !! You will love it I'm sure Does get packed sometimes and waiting takes a while but I'd say worth it

Prior to my wife’s vaccination shot at CVS, we chose this place as the best to grab a bite to eat in Santa Paula. To our surprise we loved it and it was hinted by the aroma outside. Our meals were great and we would return here for delicious tri-tip and to try out the other items on the menu. Location was well kept and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Happy to have discovered this location.

Food was delicious. Sauce was out of this world as were the potato salad and cole slaw. Atmosphere is nothing fancy. You can eat at a 'bar' counter and watch the meats being smoked.

First time here, we arrived around noon on Sun to meet up with friends for lunch, parking spots were half taken and very very tight so we ended up parking in the residential area around the corner. Timing was just perfect, we were able to place our food before the lunch rush. There weren't a lot of seating inside the air conditioned area but we managed to get two tables as another group was leaving. We got the tri tip sandwich and tri trip chicken link bowl. The sauce was good, the spicy level was a tad too spicy for me, manageable when eaten with rice and beans. Overall a decent BBQ joint, just wished portions were larger for the price paid
