Awesome food and customer service at Old Greenwood BBQ. Mehmet was at the helm when I went in to order dinner for my mom and I. He was professional, polite and very knowledgeable with the menu. The ribs were delicious and the chicken was moist and flavorful. The Texas toast completed the meal nicely. I will definitely be back to Old Greenwood BBQ.

My husband and I wanted to try out a new BBQ place. The food was not that good. We’ve eaten at one of the best BBQ joints in the South Bay and this place doesn’t even stand up to that one. I ordered the brisket sandwich and every time I took a bite I was literally biting into fat. My husband ordered the chicken and ribs. He didn’t even eat the chicken he said it was that bad. He ordered the beans and potato salad as sides and they were just as bad. To have to pay the $50 we did for this meal it definitely was not worth $50. There are better BBQ places in the area. I wouldn’t waste your money eating here.

My wife and I have gone to this hidden gem restaurant several times. I took two friends for lunch today and both thought that the food was delicious. The BBQ is award winning! The portions are big as well. We got to meet Ryan the co-owner and pit master today who was very welcoming. I've posted pictures of the 3 St. Louis style ribs, brisket sandwich and caleb's cracklins. The BBQ plate orders come with choice of two sides and a roll. The sandwich comes with choice of one side.

IYKYK this is a hidden gem . Most know of them through their food truck but the location at Sunken Garden’s is a secret spot. Great spot to catch Sunday football it’s never too crowded! Ample free parking.

Damn fine! I grew up eating dreamland, big bob gibsons, rendezvous, etc and all the legend pit masters down south. I asked the guy what would he get and he gave me a little of everything along with my brisket. A beacon of tasty and smoked flavor not likely to find randomly in California.

If your looking for a hidden gem this place is just that had never heard of it before so just randomly looking for some BBQ because diving home traffic was a mess so why not let's eat the wait out. Found this place a d sense it was on the way home . Starting following gps and got strange when I ended up in a creepy pitch black driving range. Thought to myself this must be a mistake hopped out the ride and followed the lights into the unknown. I was greeted but a cool older dude who was nice and friendly pointed me to the BBQ are. Walked in first impression Lil skeptical but I was greeted again but two guys. Took the order and in about 10min food was hot and ready I got the nachos with pulled pork figured might be the safest option since it was the first time. Let me tell you this portion would last for two days the chips piled high the meat to cheese was Mos Def on point. After the first bite I was hooked. I'll be back

I would give zero stars if I could. I ordered the The corn beef it was terrible, full of fat nothing but fat, small, regular carrots that were not even boiled you buy them in a plastic bag. They were not fresh carrots. The red potatoes were not cooked enough either the whole dinner was disappointing. Very disappointing. My family and I feel sick after eating here. There are many people today who are afraid to give back their food or exchange it because they are scared of ridicule or being treated harshly. I’m sad to say this place just confirms those fears. When I asked for a refund I was hung up on and told that they were too busy.

What a great name that suggest donning a cowboy hat. Barbeque smoke and smell greet you outside. Masks seem optionable, but the drinks are a must. A neighborhood bar, a bit hidden, means loyal customers and interesting conversations. Outside, a band plays and beckons would-be-dancers. Order food at the counter and then go to the bar to order beers or watch sports. Many options to stay indoors or outside at a picnic table. You will realize that this place is good for catering or private parties.
