  • We got a rib combo plate to go and did the brisket add on. Everything tasted good and although the spicy and sweet BBQ sauces taste nearly identical they were both tasty. portions were great. One combo plate fed my wife and I. We also added a cornbread with Honey Butter wich was worth it as well. My main complaint is the brisket was just shredded meat and there was no option of getting it sliced and they didn't state otherwise. We paid additional for it and it was a bit of a let down.

  • Shared the tri-tip combo and added on some brisket with a side of mac and cheese and greens. Drinks were Chamango Margarita and an Arnold Palmer. Excellent service from Nicole. This is an authentic bbq place. Everything was on point. Definitely will go back.

  • Came here to watch the nba playoffs. They have TVs everywhere! Every seat is a perfect seat ! If you like meaty beef ribs this is the spot for you !! Big beef ribs tasted so yummy. You can taste it’s cooked with mesquite wood. So juicy and yummy. Their brisket has amazing flavor ! Buffalo fries were so yummy. If you like chicken, the bbq sauce on top was so yummy. I also had a peach cobbler for the first time and it was fire !! Definitely coming back here to try the rest of the menu !

  • Mike’s BBQ is a must-stop for me every time I’m in California. The ribs are smoky, tender, and packed with flavor, and the sides hit just as hard (the mac and cheese is a favorite). Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff makes you feel right at home. Consistently great every visit — can’t recommend it enough

  • This review is for the category of top tier BBQ. Based on the prices, Mike's endeavors to be top notch. We sampled quite a few items. The place is set in a strip mall, kind of a sports bar feel. Lots of giant TV screens everywhere and kinda loud with many games playing. Full bar, though we did not drink. The best thing was the service, which was very excellent from our server to the hostess, all top notch. The meats are served on a personal size metal tray, with a paper liner, which i cut through almost immediately to be eating off the tray, yech. The mac and cheese was outstanding, topped with crumbled cheese-itz for a surprising twist. Mashed potatoes were okay, the clear gravy was more like weak chicken stock, would have preferred a brown gravy to go with the meat. The corn on the cob was amazing. House made creamed horseradish was superb. The baby backed ribs came cold and needed to be refired. 2nd try at ribs, they were tender and flavorful 7 out of 10. The beef ribs were much smaller than I expected, but ok for the price. Kinda tough and not a lot of flavor. 6 out of 10. The brisket was rather fatty, like warm and bland. Reminded me of boiled corned beef without the flavor. Though super tender and went well with the horseradish and BBQ sauce 6 out of 10. Tri tip came ice cold and was sent back. 2nd try the top was hot, lower slices were cold. Very smoky flavor, nice if you like that. Tender and cooked nicely. 6 out of 10. The spicy saussage was outstanding, cooked well, hot, flavorful and juicy 9 out of 10. We did not have chicken. Ended up with a large take home container which is rare for us at a BBQ. Kinda lost interest in the food. Would have been 3 stars for this category, but gave an extra star for superb service. Might go back again, but it will be a while. $90 to feed 2 with no alcohol. Definitely a good restaurant, but today it was only okay in execution.

  • Don’t believe what the negative reviews say, if JC is in the house you will have a blast! Food is delish, atmosphere is amazing. They are closed on Tuesdays though, the day we usually want to come here the most, regardless of that, 5* across the board!!!
