Santa Maria Style Grilling

I got the tri-tip sandwich. It’s just the meat on a stadium roll. That’s it. It also comes with your choice of BBQ sauce. I don’t remember the price, but it’s a bit pricey for just the meat on a bun. There is a nice amount of meat, but I don’t think it’s worth it. I found it on the bland side of things, but the flavor was good. My wife tried the Swiss mushroom burger and it was also very plain. A toasted bun, burger, Swiss cheese, and sautéd mushrooms. There isn’t anything else on it. I think it was around $12.50. The French fries are good. I think the inside is pleasant. The restaurant is in an unfortunate location, being a ways out of town. I know it’s a bit harsh to say, but just don’t see myself wanting to come back unless they revamp the menu and make the food less plain. I think this

It was our first time here and it didn’t disappoint. Being a transplant from SoCal with Tri tip being a main part in family bbq’s, we were happy to find Santa Maria. I was greeted by Nancy the owner who was super friendly. We had the Tri tip plate and it was very good, plenty of food, I could have had left overs but it was so good, I ate it all. It’s a small place kinda on the outskirts of town but well worth the drive. Will definitely try again, especially the Tri tip nachos and tacos.

We sat outside on a beautiful day. The meat was seasoned perfectly where you don’t need bbq sauce but they have custom Made bbq sauce available. We brought our puppy and they got us a little tri tip treat and a pup cup and water. Love the family atmosphere.

I was pretty excited to try this place. Especially after watching the Santa Maria grilling on the Food Network. It’s location is not the best. It’s not really close to anything. It’s clear out at the end of hit Road by the highway headed out to Rexburg. There’s not a lot of seating inside. I stopped to get takeout at about 6 o’clock on a Friday night. It took about 25 minutes to get my food. When I open the containers, I was kind of disappointed at the size of the sandwich for $16 and the size of the tri-tip platter for $20. However, tri-tip was really delicious. They do a great job cooking it. The salad was not the best. If you are getting it to go remember to ask for barbecue sauce because it’s not included automatically.

This place is amazing! The food is full of flavor and divine wit every bite! The atmosphere is so fun and the staff are super friendly. I am definitely coming back and will be bringing friends with me!
