Customer Reviews
If you are looking for a tasty BBQ spot, Bad To The Bone Is it. I typically order the tri-tip plate every time I visit because it is so good and the meat is tender. Today we added the Tallow fries with bacon and cheese. It did not disappoint. Probably the tastiest dish I have ever had for a topped/loaded fry dish. But overall, everything on the menu is good. Another great addition to mention, they have dog friendly patio seating .
Had the Brisket Tacos , Excellent, the brisket was so tender and juicy and nicely garnished with chopped lettuce , tomato ,onion and green or red salsa . The salsa had great flavor. Pastrami sandwich was also Excellent. Super tender and flavored pastrami on bread that was buttered and toasted . Super tasty sandwich . We had a large group and everyone was Very Satisfied with their meals .
Fun, lively bbq, and friendly staff. Beans are tasty but I'd skip the potato salad, maybe too much mustard for my taste but 25 beers on tap and a full bar, everyone is going to be pleased. Casual dining and overall, a good deal. I'd stop in again.
Came for dinner and it was okay. Amicable (young) staff, quick service. Ambiance is a little gloomy, dim lighting, tavern vibes. Price to portion of food was fair. Food was luke warm (was expecting a more fresh/hot cooked meat) of pork and chicken. Mac and cheese with chicken was great, as well as corn bread. Plenty of free parking in the lot.
Absolutely the best BBQ I’ve ever had — hands down! The meat was insanely tender, juicy, and packed with smoky flavor. Easily the most delicious meat I’ve ever eaten in my life. Can’t wait to come back! This is the kind of BBQ that makes you tear up with happiness — it’s that good.
