It was empty for a Friday night but we sat at a high top. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered a side of veggies $6 and saw on the menu you could add side of meat for $6 but our server told me if i wanted sliced it would be $9. I was charged $9 but it was not sliced as you can see from the picture. Then she's like you wanted it shredded, and I'm like whatever at this point. I did not appreciate that. Brisket was good but on the fattier side. And the side of veggies was quite small. It was ok. But for the price, I would go elsewhere. I couldn't get our waitress attention since I needed more water. I just helped myself since they had water on the side bars. We would like to try the music so will be back for that.

The actual design of this place is amazing as well. I love this place, highly recommend.

There's something almost seductive about the smell of barbecue smoke in the air, especially when…read moreit's real wood smoke. As we approached Harper's, the first thing that caught us was the unmistakable aroma of pecan and hickory burning. You could smell the smoke before you even walked through the gate, and honestly, it was impossible not to follow it. We had been looking for barbecue after we couldn't get into the Orange County Fair, and thankfully, Harper's was close by. We pulled up, saw the wood stacked outside, smelled that incredible smoke, and immediately thought, "Okay, we may have just found something good." We finally found street parking and walked in, expecting the place to be packed because it looked incredibly busy. It was busy, but surprisingly, it didn't feel crowded or chaotic. The property itself is beautiful--landscaped, open, and thoughtfully designed. There are two patios in the front, an enclosed room with a bar, and then an outdoor backyard-style area with additional seating. But the real showstopper is the smokehouse. As soon as you walk through the gate, you can see this massive smoke room and the working barbecue pits right there in full view. You can see the smoke, the wood, the pits, and the barbecue being cooked right in front of you. It immediately sets the tone for what you're about to eat. Ordering is simple and casual. You walk up, choose your meats and sides, and they plate everything right in front of you. The meats are priced by the pound. And then came the beef rib. I have to say this because I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it: that beef rib was phenomenal. This was actually the first beef rib I've ever ordered. I've had a friend order beef ribs at another barbecue restaurant before, and I remember thinking they were somewhat chewy. So I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. Harper's completely changed my mind. The bark was incredible--deeply smoked, beautifully seasoned, and packed with flavor. And the tenderness was unbelievable. It was like eating pot roast on a stick. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the combination of that bark, the smoke, the seasoning, and the texture was an absolute dopamine hit with the first bite. I cannot stress enough how good this beef rib was. The St. Louis pork ribs were equally delicious--smoky, flavorful, tender, and exactly what you want from good barbecue. We also tried the cornbread muffin, Brussels sprouts, and vinegar-based coleslaw. Everything was delicious. The only thing I would personally change would be cooking the Brussels sprouts a little longer. I prefer mine more tender, but that's completely a matter of personal preference. I'm currently doing carnivore and avoiding sugar, so I had to resist the pulled pork, even though I love pulled pork. I noticed they use Cali Gold barbecue sauce with it, so when I'm off this diet, that is absolutely going on my list. They also had smoked turkey and brisket, which I somehow talked myself out of ordering. I already regret that decision. And now I'm wondering whether they do smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving, because I would absolutely show up at my mother-in-law's house with a Harper's smoked turkey. The service was excellent. We were greeted immediately with warmth and kindness, and everyone was welcoming. And I have to mention the atmosphere because I was genuinely impressed by the space. This isn't just a place to grab barbecue and leave. It's a beautiful, comfortable space with multiple seating areas that would be fantastic for an anniversary, birthday, private gathering, or even a small wedding. Harper's feels like one of those places you're lucky to stumble upon. If you love barbecue, you need to experience this place for yourself. From the moment that pecan and hickory smoke finds you outside, all the way to that first bite of perfectly smoked beef rib, Harper's delivers. And that beef rib? Absolutely unforgettable. Run, don't walk, to Harper's.

My friend ordered the Picnic Potato Salad, and I actually ended up enjoying that side more, enough that I'd consider ordering it for myself next time lol. As for the Watermelon Splash, I really enjoyed both the fruity flavor and the Tajin rim. Plus, the size of the drink was definitely a nice bonus!

Some fatty bits but that's where the flavor comes from. and this short rib was bomb! The edges were a bit dry but I'm coming at closing time so I get it. FYI short rib is by weight $40/lb so it was about $50 for it. The sides I got were their macaroni and cheese 10/10 tastes home made! Onion rings were ok. Coleslaw is alright. Good for fiber! lol.

This place was a little drive from Long Beach…read more Parking was a little bit of a challenge with this place. There are plenty of spot in the parking lot and the street. We must have been there at a bad time. The restaurant is part of a larger complex. We waljed though a playground before getting there. It was filled with children and adults. Many of the were playing in the play area but several were sitting at tables and made it hard to find seating to eat. We walked to the opposite side of the area and got into line. It was busy but the line went quick. We ordered and took on the task to find a table we could sit down to eat. I think this was the hardest part. Families with children weren't going anywhere and the restaurant tables were full. We were able to nab a table as some people went to leave. It felt like we were desperate to move it to assure someone else didn't take it. We were notified that dinner was ready and picked up the trays. We had to make sure to get napkins and utensils as the table was a little bit of a walk. We ordered a plate with several different items. We wanted to try a little bit of everything. The BBQ had several tasty items and there was something for each of our varied tastes. After we finished, we had to divide up the leftovers. We had a lot! Luckily, the public restrooms provided us the opportunity to wash up too. As a side note, I arlte the leftovers the next day. I spoke with others and we all agreed that they weren't so good the next day. My advice is to go in a small group so that you can find seating and buy just enough to eat there.
