    We had the sausage and the dark meat chicken.  Everything was described in the review.
    Wellington J.

    Today's lunch was at a local BBQ joint in Indio. Only offers 1. TriTip 2. Pulled pork 3. Linguica sausage 4. Boneless chicken dark meat We got the sausage (needed a slight kick of spice) and chicken (was good). Baked beans were great! The MacNCheese needed a bit more cheese. The deviled egg potato salad lacked chunks of potato, too mushy. The service was very good and friendly!!

    All week, I was thinking to myself, "Where could I order up and take home delicious bbq to enjoy on a Friday evening?"I heard some positive comments about CV BBQ. I phoned in my order, which was promptly taken without hassle. I enjoyed the chicken meal with two amazing sides. The chicken meal is tender, slow cooked, with a hint of oakwood bbq flavor. Truly an amazing chicken bbq dinner or lunch meal. I admit that CV BBQ is now my favorite bbq chicken meal in the Coachella Valley. Hands down ,exceptional ! My side orders equally meritorious positive remarks. The beans were slightly sweet and full of flavor. My other side, Mac & Cheese, delicious with a chipotle flavor! My dining companion enjoyed the wonderful flavor and preparation of the tri-tip meal. The tri-tip is perfectly prepared. You will not be disappointed. Fellow yelpers also give the tri -tip high marks for flavor and tastes. Our meals were so delicious and enjoyable. I was focused on the flavors and delight. Sorry, I neglected to snap a quick photo of our dinner meal. Too late, my meal was partially devoured. Fellow Yelpers have posted several photos of CV BBQ meals and offerings to make your mouth water for delicious bbq and sides. As you enter the eatery, you can feel the warmth, pride, and care for this close-knit eatery with a "family-run" feel. The restaurant is tastefully decorated, organized, pleasant, and very clean. Staff members, Prisciilla and Adrain greeted me with a warm and friendly smile. I felt truly appreciated for coming into their wonderful piece of bbq heaven. Kudos and a huge "thank you" to Priscilla and Adrian for their awesome customer service skills! As you enjoy your meal, you can taste the pride, heart, soul, and passion of this eatery. They love their craft of making elevated -tasting special bbq, and offering their creation to the community. If you enjoy bbq, eat here!

    Excellent BBQ!! We stopped in after being excused from jury duty. What a great find. The staff is super friendly and helpful, the place is clean and had some great music playing. We ordered the trip-tip sandwich and a rack of bbq baby back ribs. Both were smoked and cooked to perfection. The tri-tip was flavorful, tender, and tasted great with their own bbq sauce on top. The ribs were flavorful, tender, and pulled right off the bone. We will definitely be back and would like to try their other meats (chicken, etc). Go try this place for sure!!

    The hours of business are crazy, it is off the beat and path in Indio , and the bbq menu is very unusual. We first wanted to go one Sunday but they are closed Sunday and Monday. It's clean and cute to dine in but it's very confusing to try and order the first time you visit because the items are by the pound and half pound. The young girl at the counter was very sweet but she couldn't answer any questions about amounts. So we ended up ordering way too much sausage which wasn't our favorite. A half pound would have been enough. There were three of us dining at home. The potato salad was exceptional followed by the Mac and cheese , tri tip-, and the spicy bbq sauce. The beans were good but a tad sweet .the chicken was boneless thighs which might be better in a sandwich than eaten alone. I thought the garlic bread, slaw, and the corn were just ok. It's far to drive so I'm not sure if we can dine there too often.

    Marf bowl was really good and workers were nice. Would go again. Prices were fair.and the vibe was great

    1 meat plate. They give a lot!
    Kat L.

    Absolutely my FAVORITE bbq between here are Corpus Christi Texas where we also have a home. Employees are ALWAYS super sweet and helpful. They always check to be sure you are enjoying your order. My only request is that they switch to paper for the hot beans and mac n cheese. I try not to eat hot stuff out of plastic. Only eat the center part where it does not touch the plastic. But it wouldn't stop me from eating here. They could serve it to me on a bed pan and I would be happy.

It was well after the lunch rush but it was pleasantly busy. Employees were friendly and checking on patrons, serving food and tending to empty tables. We had been waiting awhile, so I carried our number in with me and made note of the numbers they were delivering... which were higher numbers than ours, but also very random. I went to the cash register and asked the employee if they called the numbers in order. She answered politely that no they didn't. I then mentioned we were sitting outside and asked if I should wait inside for my order so they wouldn't have trouble finding us. We were not in a hurry and were trying to make it easy on the hardworking employees....and bonus that it was cool inside *At that point, a man who I perceived was a manager or maybe even the owner , turned to me from behind the counter, handed me a bag and said " Here Ma'am , GO!" Then turned back around to what he was doing. What? GO? I don't know what his intent was because I'm not a mind reader, but it felt rude and dismissive. His facial expression was as though he was busy and or annoyed. I was so surprised at his response in such an otherwise pleasant environment. I'm pretty tolerant of grumpy people (you know, sometimes there's a reason) but this just felt really icky -it was our intended destination after a hot drive from Phoenix and it did not sit well with us. We won't be returning. Food =10 Customer service = so disappointing 3

The crepe wrap had this perfectly crisp netting surrounding the outer layer of the crepe. It completely won me over with the first bite as I'm someone that enjoys crispy and crunchy textures in my food. Everything down to the chicken, the fillings, and the crepe itself were just delicious. I came as a party of 3 and for the first half of our eating experience we were eating in complete silence because of how good our wraps tasted. That itself should be a testament to how great this place is. As an added plus, they had a water station & great music to vibe with. The contents can be a bit heavy though so if you're looking for a light breakfast, sharing one crepe wrap amongst two would be the way to go. Towards the end of my crepe I noticed that I was slowing down because of how heavy the flavor profiles were, so having something to contrast that, like a lighter side dish, would've been nice.
