    Wing Wednesday!! Wanted to try out Crazy Gringo BBQ as well as Kings Brewing. Made it happen. Saw reviews complaining about having to order when you walk in. Didn't have any problem Was greeted with a big smile and a welcome! Told the girl it was my first time. Told me about the wing Wednesday 10 for $10 special. Ordered the wings as well as the loaded fries with pulled pork. She gave me a number for my table and told me the food will be out shortly. Ordered a Hernandez from Kings Brewery, and took a seat. The bbq smell is amazing! Lots of seating inside as well on the patio. Server came out with the wings. Wings looked amazing. Again, saw reviews where people had issues with the food being served on trays. Found no issues. Trays were clean, had a paper cover on it and the food presented beautifully on them. Seems like let's complain just to complain. Wings were cooked perfectly. Plenty of smoke flavor in them. Loaded fries were loaded! Really enjoyed. Great food great vibe great service!

    You cannot beat their $1 wings on Wednesdays. They are smoked then fried and tossed in house made sauces. They also use huge wings and you can tell the meat is good quality. Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

    At first, we were primarily there to drink some brews from King's Brewing. King's Brewing used to have their own location but ended up closing, and a few months later they reopened in the same spot as Crazy Gringo BBQ. Let me just say, this place truly has the best of both worlds: good BBQ and good beer. I'll focus only on the BBQ for this review. The restaurant itself is very spacious, with plenty of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. There are lots of TVs for anyone who wants to come in and enjoy a game, and they even had a Pantone 294 flag, which was a nice touch for the large fan base of our beloved Dodgers. The host and waiters were very helpful and gave great opinions and advice on what to order. Ordering was fairly simple, and one of the best parts is that even if you're sitting at the same table, each person can order on their own phone by scanning the QR code. This completely eliminates the hassle of splitting the bill. There were so many tempting items to choose from, but I ended up going with the BBQ sandwich. You can choose any meat you want, and I went with the PB burnt ends. It was incredibly delicious and packed with flavor, exactly how good BBQ should be. It came with a side of fries that were seasoned to perfection. My sister ordered the pulled pork loaded fries, which were also very tasty. Several of my friends went with brisket and sausage platters, paired with sides of mac and cheese and BBQ beans. Sadly, they did not share, but I honestly can't blame them because everything looked way too good. Another plus is that the food came out fairly quickly, even though the place was busy. They also had a live band playing classic rock tunes, and if it felt a bit loud, there was space toward the back where you could still comfortably hold a conversation. I will definitely be coming back, not just for the good beer, but for the amazing BBQ as well. This place is definitely a new hidden gem.

    Brisket: 5/5 Chicken: 5/5 Sausage: 4/5 Mac & Cheese: 3/5 Potato Salad: 3/5 Cornbread: 4/5 Service: 2/5 The brisket was really tender, the sausage was great, and the chicken was super moist. My son had the ribs, which were a little dry, but he still enjoyed them. The cornbread was good, and the potato salad and mac & cheese were just okay. I wasn't a fan of the green chiles in the mac, and it doesn't seem like you can order it without them. We also ordered the jalapeño ranch, but it tasted almost exactly like blue cheese, which we all hate. Unfortunately no one ever checked on us, so we couldn't let anyone know or get it swapped out. Service was the biggest disappointment. We stood at the front for quite a while without being acknowledged and eventually seated ourselves. Between the signs saying to order at the front, order drinks at another counter, or order from your phone, it was a little confusing, especially since no one came over to explain anything or ask if we needed help. We also noticed other parties being greeted while we weren't, the bartender didn't seem very happy to be there or welcoming... Overall, it's a cool little newer spot in downtown Upland, and I'm glad we finally gave it a try. The food had some highlights, especially the meats. I'm not sure it's somewhere I'd rush back to, but I'm glad we checked it out.

    The platter $42 platter was really good

    First time here. I walked and was told the restaurant and bar are two separate entities. You order the food at the front counter, then go to your table. My brain was screaming run, run now. Anyways I ordered the Crazy Cubano sandwich got fries and drank water. The sandwich was decent kind of bland, the were fries. Biggest problems got ketchup and it was small packages like at fast food. The cups for soda were paper cups. All of the stools were metal no cushions. Giant mistake should have run. This is a restaurant that is not trying to stay here for anytime long. I predict they will be gone by Jan. 2027. Go elsewhere if you want good.

    Single smash burger. Solid tasty. My "not amazing" was bias since I had the brisket first and that ruined the rest of this wonderful smoked

    4th time here July 9th 2026 during France vs Morocco fifa game. I do not drink or are able to eat spicy fyi. This update review is solely on customer service and food. We have now tried every meat on the menu in different formats a such as tostadas, tacos, slice meats etc. 5/5. Everything is delicious. I was accidentally served the wrong suace on my wings today (spicy buffalo which I can't do do to intestinal issues) but my wife tried one (and mentioned the spicy level) and she said 5/5, we did return them and Desiree and Ricky took care of us bringing out our bbq wings asap. Top notch service! We ordered wings bbq 5/5, burnt end tostadas 5/5, brisket and pull pork fries 7 stars! so far the Brisket, burnt ends and wings have been the best we have had around this part of the 909. Yes yes I understand some will say there's a place that's better etc with a 2 hour drive, 2 hour wait, and twice the price. Ok, cool story. This place is top notch, easy to visit for sports games 2-4 times a month without killing your wallet or your gas tank. Check them out! Support local shops!

    I had an incredible experience at Crazy Grunge BBQ. Ricky provided exceptional service, made us feel truly welcome, and took great care to ensure the food met my specific allergy needs. I'll definitely be back for the BBQ--and I'm looking forward to checking out Kings Brewing company for my next night out!

    2meats platter.  Brisket and pulled pork.

    Heres what you do. You and your partner come here and order your meals. Grab some drinks from Kings brewery, PB Stout is delicious, then walk it all off cruising the shops up and down the streets. Their BBQ is awesome. Showed up late and majority of their menu was sold out. But their brisket is nice and tender, break apart even. Pulled pork was moist, majority of bbq joints i been to, their pulled pork was dry. Wife was raving about the coleslaw and potatoes salad. Portions to price ratio was above par. More than enough in comparison to other bbq places i've been too. I want to come back for their weekday specials.

    We tried this BBQ restaurant and it did not disappoint. The ribs were tender and packed with flavor, cooked just right without being overly sauced. The smoked wings were absolutely perfect & juicy inside with that rich smoky taste that you hope for in real BBQ. The mac and cheese was firm, creamy, and seasoned really well, not bland like a lot of places tend to serve. On top of the great food, the customer service was excellent. Friendly staff, quick service, and a welcoming atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot worth coming back to.

    Mini Platter for 2 (before)

    The service was good and it was pretty clean. It's located inside King's brewery. The food was delicious. We had the mini platter. It was enough for two people. We can't wait to go back and try the wings.

    The bar area is pretty cool. The beers so far have been delicious. Upland Pulse is the one I like best. The staff are very friendly. Got some cool coasters from them. Potato salad is ok not much flavor in it. (Sorry guys gonna be honest.) Mac n Cheese is good pretty chill not super over the top one way or the other. The pulled pork has good flavor. The brisket burnt ends really good. Regular brisket is very flavorful. Thanks guys. I'd be back. Just need some extra seasoning in the potato salad please. Technically 4.5 stars is what I'd really like to give this place.

    Smash burger
    Caroline L.

    You order on a QR code and tip and pay upfront. Not a fan of tipping before getting any service, but service was speedy. My partner ordered the meat plate, the brisket was good. We liked the pickled onions. The smash burger just felt like a regular burger, but without lettuce, onions or tomatoes and lacking in seasoning. Didn't really taste like a smash burger, more like a slightly squished burger. Either way, I don't recommend it, get the bbq instead. The mac and cheese was a bit plain by itself, tastes good with a little bbq sauce mixed in though! Pretty disappointed in my burger. Would get the bbq instead next time ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Water is self serve. Drinks are ordered at the bar. Napkins and utensils are brought out with the food. When you leave, there's a place where you put away your trays and glasses.

My evening started with a cocktail hour and Franks Catering provided a Charcuterie table that was absolutely amazing and stunning! He served over 100 guests and the food was hot and the presentation was beautiful. My guests raved to me all night long about the delicious meal they were served. We had a very flavorful lemon chicken, a tritip with a mushroom sauce that was cooked to perfection, the beautiful fresh mix of grilled vegetables, and whipped mashed potatoes, it was started with a fresh strawberry summer salad with a delicious balsamic dressing and fresh warm rolls. The servers he brought in did not miss a beat. Then the dessert was delicious as well, was a chocolate cake or lemon cake that was presented beautifully. I can't thank Franks Catering enough!
