Reviews for Santa Maria Bbq and Catering in Huntington Beach, CA

This place is a MUST if you haven’t tried it!! The BEST bbq chicken I’ve ever had. Love the homemade slaw and the cornbread... was delicious. I will definitely return more often!! Read more

Bland BBQ. The sauces aren't what you'd normally expect. Very sour/tart/vinegar-y. All nuclear/atomic stuff is just coated in... jalapeño juice. Small portions of sides and meat. Box mac and velvetta cheese served with a baby ice-cream scoop? Not what Iwas expecting for the price. Eating, our group of 3 complained to ourselves about the food the whole time. This is on par withdicky's bbq, and (if you've done your research) that franchise has been ruined by the late owner's son. Read more

Was going to give a 1 or 2 star based on price and portion sizes, but man it tastes good. Well at least the brisket and the rice... were super delicious. The mac was average. I was upset that a brisket plate (7 oz) with 2 sides and no drink or bread is 22.85+tax. Sheesh very high, and the sides and sauces were super small portions. Honestly not worth the money for me because I eat alot would need 2 plates to be full, but if you got it like that, go for it because the brisket, rice, and sauce tastephenomenal. I probably won’t go back unless someone else is buying (; Honestly though check out the pictures that sauce wasuntouched, had like two licks worth. Again very delicious but way too pricy for small portions. It’s supposed to be bbq. Read more

Been going to SM BBQ for a long time. I always order in the restaurant. Usually get 2 meat combo and sides. The portions use to... be very generous (I told them how many people and they recommended how much). Just got my last order and the portions were muchless than ever before. I noticed the employees were all new and I asked why and was told new management and they have to weighand account for everything. This isn't about paying this is about customer service and giving the customer what they arerequesting. They used to do that and I paid. Just know new management and new employees (very nice) just not fulfilling my needsany longer. Read more

This was the backup plan for my hubby’s birthday dinner. Small place and there were 6 of us needing a table inside since it... was cold! We were able to push 3 tables together and it worked fine. Good selection of beers, both bottles and on tap. Highlyrecommend the brisket sandwich. The coke slaw was not your typical coke slaw. It was light and delicious, not drowning inmayonnaise! I’m hoping it was healthy! The corn was delicious as was the bacon Mac & cheese. Everyone was satisfied withtheir meals. Give them a try. You won’t be disappointed. Read more

So sad I just found out that this place has been open since July. Went here all the time when it was owned by the BT... people. The inside looks very similar, but seems cleaner and the floors are nicer. The people working here are very friendlyand had good recommendations for food. I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was so delicious. Didn’t even need to add tomuch sauce because it was so flavorful. I had French fries on the side and they were also tasty. I will definitely befrequenting this place for beer and meat. Happy that we got our bbq place back in the area! Read more
