Don't Bite The Bone BBQ, February 4, 2026 at 2:58pm Me & my daughter wanted to try this place out because I saw it on the news & so we did we both got the Combo Plate 1 meat & 2 sides. So I got the Pork Ribs & Potato Salad & Coleslaw & my daughter got the Tri Tip & Bacon Mac & Cheese & Rice Pilaf & our drinks. So the ribs were very tender & had a very good flavor with or without the BBQ Sauce & the Tri Tip again was very tender & very tasty with or without the BBQ Sauce & we both liked the potato salad with good flavoring & the coleslaw was on spot also but the bacon mac & cheese & the rice pilaf it was a no go for us! We even tried the Texas Twinkies 1 each they have very good flavor so we really did enjoy them & with the combo plate you get two slices of white bread & a small container
Super legit Texas BBQ restaurant! This is for sure one of the top BBQ places in Calefornia and so far the best BBQ I’ve had in Cali - no doubt! Friendly staff, quick service and generally a cool place. I ordered: - Brisket (good bark, good fat render, perfect smokey flavor) - Spareribs (smokey, tender, meaty and a little sweet. Delicious!) - Cheddar&Jalapeño sausages (juicy, cheesy and Smokey. Very legit BBQ sausage! Personally prefer a more coarse grind, but that’s just a personal preference) - Texas Twinkie (VERY delicious! Perfect balance between bacon, jalapeño, filling and seasoning!) - Potato salad (good potato salad. Would benefit from a little more seasoning, but still good) - Bacon Mac & Cheese (very good dish! The addition of bacon instantly sets it apart from other M&C’s, in a g
We stopped her to check out Bravo Farms, but I’ll tell you this place was the treat! They had just about ran out of ribs, so we ordered a three meat. They heard how much we love ribs and gave us the last few on the house. I grew up in Alabama well versed in BBQ up the coast. I thought I had the best, but this place is our new favorite! We ended up buying sauce on the way out. They also give a military discount which is super meaningful to us coming from a small local business! Thank you for a super homie meal!
First time here and I give it a 10/10 for quality bbq, great flavor, hefty portions, awesome service, clean environment super friendly staff. I loved everything about it… every bite was absolutely delicious 🔥 this is what bbq should be 💯
I have been wanting to try this for quite some time but I would always catch it when it was closed. I had brisket, bacon Mac n cheese and rice pilaf. The food was ok and didn't quite meet my expectations definitely able to eat it all but not the best that I have ever had. The brisket had decent flavor but was lacking in the texture. They did have really great portions. And the restraunramt was very clean. The bbq sauce was very good.
