This place has a beautiful view and good atmosphere. The food was Ok . I got stuffed jalapeños for an appetizer and they were burnt and small . The burnt ends had a good smoky flavor but they were very dry and most of it was fat. The tri tip and fries were good.

I had high hopes for this location as the food smelled amazing and the vibe was awesome. Unfortunately it went downhill pretty fast. Service was meh, forgot our beer most of our meal, portions for the brisket was insane considering the price and mostly of the food was cold before we could even eat it as we had no silverware and had to wait for the waitress to reappear. The fountain drink selection was slim so my kids didn’t have much h choice, my pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw was amazing though and I really enjoyed my meal. The rest of my family left annoyed and wanted something else within an hour. The live music is a great concept, but even outside it was so loud that my watch kept alerting me of the level. We could barely talk while we ate. I don’t think we’d go back in the future.

Great bbq spot in Huntington Beach. Visiting from St. Louis, we can confirm - meats are awesome. Multiplied by fun atmosphere and friendly service, it was great spot for dinner! Recommend combo 3 meats and 2 sides. Try it with draft IPA.

I really liked the seasoning on the fries, which is the same rub as the meats. The brisket was a big hit. I love the Sriracha BBQ sauce. Sweet with a little spice. The chicken tortilla soup was loaded with chicken. Our food came out lightning fast and despite my doubts that bartender Zane was going to remember everything we ordered, everything was as requested.

This BBQ joint was good! They have 3 different bbq sauces on each table to choose from. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the view was awesome! It is located on the 2nd floor of a mall that sits ocean side. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They have a vast menu and an even bigger drink menu. They offer a lot of beer on tap, and high end alcohol options to include bourbon, vodka, and tequila! Overall our experience was great!

Yummy! We walked right in although I’d recommend reservations just incase it picks up.. I ordered the pork baby back ribs and the sweet potatoes with blue cheese.. it was tasty and the ribs were on point. Staff is so friendly and welcoming.. they checked on us throughout, also they had a live music show which did not disappoint! I absolutely recommend this place.

Enjoy the atmosphere, views, and happy hour specials. Dog friendly, heat lamps for the chilly evenings, big screens for the games. We come here often.

It is located in Pacific City mall, second floor. Amazing views and food came out quickly. However, the service could have been better. Food is ok, I've definitely had better bbq some place else.
