    I sometimes come here for the BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich and the Macaroni Salad. It is so good. When I'm on my lunch break. Great service from the staff and friendly. They started selling alcohol and wine if you want to grab a drink. It can sometimes get busy and parking gets kind of tight during busy hours. But great place to grab lunch or have some drinks with your friends.

    I've came here soo many times and don't think I've ever reviewed it. It has deserved a great review each time! The food is always consistently good! The tri tip is cooked perfectly each time. Macaroni, potatoe salad is yum! Baked beans are yummy, soo much flavor is even their hotlink. They also have bowls that are soo filling. They have different juices to try such as strawberry, passion fruit, lemonade. It gets very busy during the work week as a lot of works come here to eat. Service is fast. They did expand with the space Nextdoor, so now there is more seating. Anytime we want want good bbq, this is the place!

    Not sure if this deserves the OG in the name. It would help if they were the OG owners or even if the bread was the same bread as the OG Buster BBQ sandwiches you could buy in Saticoy or off of Johnson back in the day. The bbq sauce is OG The tri tip is OG The hot links are OG The service is friendly The prices are decent So why not 5 stars? $4 for medium cup of beans? No bueno. Didn't taste bad but the portion is small masquerading as a medium. The place was busy. Overall clean but cluttered in some areas. Good vibes though Try it for yourself even if you didn't go to the OG one. If you fix the bread to match the OG sourdough with more charring, well then we will have to update the review and drop the suspicion off the OG in the name.

    I've visited this spot a few times to rate this an average of 2 stars. & I used to go to the one across the street a lot! This location is clean and modern. Few seating tables inside and very small outside. Plenty of parking spaces. Workers, who were all women at the time we last visited, are not friendly or welcoming. No smiles or anything. No thank you, it'll be right out, etc. Food isn't the same as the og "busters". Meat was dry and burnt. Bread tasted (or the butter spread they use) taste different off, sauce isn't what it used to be in a bland way. My pops was SO disappointed in his order, he ate maybe 1/4th, tossed the rest and looked for something else to eat at home. I'm sorry to the owners that I had to put such low rating as I know small businesses usually have a passion for what they do. Maybe hire different workers or the Og workers. Maybe have a few secret shoppers visit randomly and report back to you. Maybe retrain? The staff? Whatever it is I really hope things turn around.

    Portions are rather small. We were well attended when we arrived place is clean. quick service.

    I don't get the super low ratings - I think this spot was great. Loved my tri tip sandwich. The bread was soft and buttery! I like the tri tip medium rare and they delivered on my request. Many places do not.  It was cooked to perfection (my opinion) and not overly smoky. I really enjoyed the macaroni salad which I usually don't like either! Plus plus!!!      Also... I typically do not like BBQ sauce but this place changed my mind. So much so, I had to purchase a bottle!   Level hot as I love heat!! So freaking good and now I can use on my sandwiches at home!    Great customer service- quick and prompt! I will be back! Place is clean and it is pretty busy. Definitely a local fave. The complaints about them not picking up calls are weird.. a small business cannot pick up calls during busy lunch hours if they're tending to customers in store. It's a courtesy, we've all become so impatient and expect all to be on our time :/ Check them out!

    I ordered the two item meat for my kids and the tri-tip sandwich for me. I was surprised to see that the chicken was raw and bloody. This is unacceptable and dangerous. Very disappointing. I was able to grab a little from a mini chicken leg that they sent but as soon as I saw the bloody chicken tight everything went to the trash. Worst $54.59 spent. I just hope we don't end in the hospital.

    The brisket is really good love the spicy bbq sauce with it! Baked beans & potato salad are delicious!! Love the vibe of the place it smells like delicious charcoal smoke and bbq sauce when you walk in, And they have the charcoal bags out for display and you can really taste it in the meat as well !! Super good bbq spot if you're in the area I'd stop by

    Enjoyed their Tri-Tip sandwich $14.75 along with a side of a Hot Link...worth the $3.75 price tag! Highly recommend their 1/2 and 1/2 sauce if you like eating spicy food. It's 1/2 hot sauce and 1/2 regular. Otherwise go with regular. Their hot sauce is ULTRA hot even for someone like me that can eat habanero chilis. Don't think they can honestly claim "OG" since this joint operates very differently. Ask for extra sauce, it's $1.25 each but still has great flavor. But their chili beans are for the birds! Not even the birds would eat it. Service needs more help to be more welcoming and to maintain cleanliness.

    Delfina gave us so much attitude & charged us for 2nd sauce for our 2 lbs of tri-tip... unprofessional
    Dalena D.

    My family and I come here weekly for the past few weeks! We really enjoyed the food but we had a rude experience recently that did not sit well with us.... Service (1 star): We regularly order 2 lbs of tri-tip and each order comes with 1 sauce. This week, we ordered 2 lbs of tri-tip and requested each order to be placed in 2 separate bags. Btw we mentioned it to the cashier before paying*! Each pound was going to 2 separate families in different houses. My mom specifically explained this before paying, too! Once the food came out, they placed 2 lbs of tri-tip into 1 box. We nicely asked if they could separate it but that's when the workers began to give us attitude. But we mentioned it to them in the beginning and there was miscommunication on their side??? After giving us attitude as if it was our fault, we received the separate bags of tri-tip and noticed there was 2 separate boxes with only 1 sauce! (again, each box is going to 2 separate homes). We requested for an additional sauce plus we've never ran into this issue when ordering 2 lbs for 2 separate boxes. Delfina continued to give us more attitude and charged us for the extra sauce. How can you tell me that 2 lbs of tri-tip only gets 1 sauce. It's a lot of meat!! Anyway, I love the food here but this experience did not sit well with us.... Food (4 stars): We love to order the tri-tip by the pound! It is so flavorful and delicious! My whole family loves it!

    The food is okay, just ask for the tri tip medium because they tend to overcook it, the service is good, the ambiance is good.

The Good: * Beyond all the beers on tap, they also have a full bar. * Service was friendly and pretty good overall. * Secret menu for both food and drink. Shhhh...! * Their wings were fantastic! You've really gotta try the Strawbanero (Strawberry-Habanero) sauce, as it was a sweet and savory bite that had all three of us fighting over. * Buffalo Barrels (aka Tater Tots) were worth the $5 upgrade. But, I'm somewhat of a Tater Tot junkie, so take that advice for what it's worth. * Fries were fantastic, as well. * Short Rib Melt was delicious, but very, very rich. It could've used a little relief like some pickles either on it or on the side. The Meh: * They do have their own parking lot, but it is smallish and can fill up fast. There is some street parking available, as well. The Ugly: * They had a lot of beers that were out of commission, including several that I was pretty excited to try. =/ Conclusion: Great spot to get your suds and spuds!

Been living out this way since the end of 2012 and I usually stop here for anything that they offer! It's been a while since I've ordered anything from here, and I feel very grateful that Hannah assisted at the front. I'm writing this because I feel like certain staff (in various industries) do not know how to be personable, authentic and professional - and offering quality service! I'm telling you... It's rare to find the type of service that I was received by Hannah today. When people look human in the eye and are being authentic when engaging with you, that is very much a superpower in this day and age. Hannah wasn't being fake. She was being absolutely authentic and I'm not surprised that a certain type of person picks up on that. I know that I did and also complimented her with gratitude because that's how she operates. Knowing that I'm a business owner, I realize how important it is to operate in that way. This part is to the management - I'm sure that you know that Hannah is an asset to your company! Definitely make sure that you take very good care of her because she is definitely offering quality customer service! Whether if it's a raise, extra benefits, etc - she really is a quality employee! I'm only saying this because I feel like it's rare to find people that are as personable and 'real' out there in the way that she knows how to provide quality service. You would think others would strive to be like somebody like her. She knows how to truly connect with the customer - and I take experiences like that very seriously! My order was a very simple one and... she treated my order as if I was about to drop $1000 on it. Wood Ranch - thank you for hiring quality employees and thank you for helping me feel like home because of that. You never know who you may be impacting today! And keep up the great work Hannah! You're great at what you do and I appreciate your kindness!

Also, I was super impressed with the back kitchen as they were cranking out dishes, which is what you want when you're having a "quick on the go lunch". I really love how they've decorated this bar/restaurant. It's fun but cozy, definitely they have great creativity with making the space as it's unique and done just right. I love the neon signs, the comfortable lounge chairs/sofas and the rugs. Makes for a great spot to stay a while. Cocktails were solid and they have an impressive selection of Whiskey is here. I'm keeping that in mind the next time I come for cocktails downtown. The food though was a home run and far exceeded my expectation. I started with the onion rings that were perfectly fried and super fresh/crispy. I love that the onion rings were paired with both a ranch and a chipotle sauce. I'm a sauce girl so if you give me multiple sauces, I'm happy. No joke, but I also just had the best Caesar salad I found in the county yet here! Kudos to the bartender Rebecca for suggesting it when I was debating between different dishes... I trusted her judgment when she told me it's one of her favorites and it turned out to be my favorite dishes too! The Caesar salad was perfectly dressed and had a great amount of cheese and croutons. Honestly, this is my dream salad lol. I'd highly recommend you order this when you come here because I can't stop thinking about it... I know it's just a salad and it's a relatively simple salad when you think about it, but it's done so incredibly well here. Overall, I had a really great experience here and will be back soon!

Thankfully due to a supper club hosted by Yelp Central Coast I was finally able to try them and I fell in love. Lofi was everything I had been searching for and then some. Fast forward to them being on my mind for months I had the opportunity to give them another try at one of their pop up events. The lines proved that everyone in the community loves Lofi as much as me! Family owned and operated this business is all about good vibes, teaching others about west coast bbq, their love for feeding their community and no ego. Steve and the family truly want you to have a wonderful experience and make you feel at home both with their kindness and the food that they put on your plate. Supporting them in this bbq community has been a refreshing experience as they are so kind and open to feedback. I love that they have fun pop ups opposed to a standard brick and mortar. They chose this because they truly want their bbq to be accessible and available to those that don't always have the opportunity to try them. They definitely give back to their community and supporting them is a win for our small but mighty 805 community. Okay now on to the food! Claiming anything is the "best" in the 805 is a bold move but I stand behind the flavors and complexity that Lofi brings to the table. West Coast BBQ makes me feel proud to be from CA as I've had bbq all over the states and they are doing us proud here. They have a killer bbq sauce that's the perfect mix of sweet and savory. Their meats and proteins are always cooked to perfection and juicy! My two favorite meats they do hands down is their 1. Brisket and 2. Pulled Pork. Their brisket is so flavorful and I love the little bit of fattiness that comes through. Also having never been a pulled pork girl, Lofi changed the game for me - so good and the flavors are on point. Another bite worth mentioning are their ribs, great seasoning and generous portions. I like to cut all of the heaviness of the bbq with their coleslaw. Makes for the perfect bite. I know they have a good amount of other sides but I'll need to give them a try. I am so beyond happy that we have Lofi BBQ in the 805. Their family couldn't be nicer and more welcoming. They are doing good work out here and I'll definitely continue to support them and spread the word on this amazing bbq spot.

I went to Five Points Meat Market to purchase approximately 11-12 bone-in short ribs. The total came to about 8.5 pounds, costing over $140. I have purchased meat from Five Points Meat Market in the past and previously received satisfactory cuts, so I did not thoroughly inspect the short ribs at the time of purchase. When I prepared the ribs on Christmas Day, I discovered that the majority of the cuts were almost entirely fat. I trimmed away as much fat as possible, but even after trimming, the ribs remained excessively fatty. Out of the entire order, I was only able to salvage about six ribs with a reasonable amount of meat, and even those still contained significant fat. Three of the ribs were unusable and had to be discarded due to the lack of meat. Because it was Christmas Day and grocery stores were closing as I was preparing dinner, I had no choice but to cook the ribs anyway. Despite removing most of the visible fat, a couple of my family members experienced mild stomach discomfort due to how fatty the meat was. While I understand that short ribs naturally contain fat and this is a dish my family prepares often, I have never received such poor-quality short ribs before. There were leftovers, but no one wanted to eat them. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing experience, especially given the price. In hindsight, I should have purchased the short ribs from Sprouts, where the cuts appeared to be significantly meatier, less fatty, and 100% grass-fed at a lower cost.
