    Cool bbq for events
    Ben S.

    Great little place hidden in green valley. If you're from around here then this place is known. If you are from Los Angeles it may be off the path. Car and bike driving and riding enthusiasts should know the area as it is in the middle of the San Fran canyon and spunky canyon. Loses for a number of years and revived about a year ago is green valley smoke house. It is a great little bar and restaurant with friendly staff a comfortable dining room and a patio as well. Live music sometimes and catering to bike guys like me but also any patron that wants a cold beer and an excellent meal. Food is great! Had fried mushrooms and a few sandwiches today and they were unique and fresh ingredients. I'll definitely be coming back!!!

    6-14-2025 noon lunch Five Stars all the way! Food was on point, service was fast and indoor and outdoor seating was perfect. I could see having a big motorcycle event there because Green Valley Smokehouse is way bigger than what you see on the front. I'm Johnny B Good C 310.409.8606 of www.Bikers4Fun.com with riders spread all over SoCal. The pics Im posting will show that,

    This place has been on my bucket list for a while and finally made it. Located in the beautiful little mountain community of Green Valley. They make good BBQ. And they have a decent selection of beers on tap. I had the brisket sandwich with a side of Mac & Cheese and a yummy hazy IPA. All was delicious. Service was good. I popped in on a Sunday afternoon and surprisingly the place was empty. I will definitely dine here again. This is a good place to motorcycle to with a couple of buddies.

    This place has become a local favorite for me. The menu is fresh and delicious! That includes fresh baked cookies too! The staff are super kind and courteous. The setting is in a small peaceful community with a lovely tree shaded patio as well. Highly recommend this place, you'll be back!

    Quaint little small town restaurant where everybody knows your name! The Smashburger can be loaded up with pulled pork, pickled jalapeños, and bacon. The nickname for this is "The Bear" after one of the owners. This burger is absolutely heavenly! The macaroni and cheese is very creamy with lots of different cheeses, and a little hint of pepper jack cheese with chili peppers finely chopped up to give it a mild zing. It makes you wonder what is that flavor? But, it keeps you wanting to take another bite again and again! Obviously the guy in the above review has no taste buds. The brisket is very tender, along with the pulled pork. All of the barbecue sauces are homemade and so is the ranch dressing! The service is wonderful. Very attentive, always made sure our drinks were full, and checked on us frequently. We went close to closing time, but were never rushed. Pictured is the "BEAR" Smashburger with added pulled pork, pickled jalapeños, and bacon! And a side of macaroni and cheese.

    What's not to like about this hidden gem. A great stop for a meal while on our motorcycle ride now that The Oaks is gone. Food is excellent and meats are smoked and flavorful, not just disguised with sauce. Service is friendly and Chloe's, our server, was top notch. Ambiance is updated with outdoor tables and a nice outdoor patio underneath 100 year old plus shaded oaks. I can't understand why this place isn't more popular, other than no one knows it's here. Now you do!

    One of the business owners was very nice explaining all their history and what they serve on the menu. I'm gonna rate the food from 1 to 10 the coleslaw giving it a 3 l too much pepper in it. Tri-tip a 3.5 the reason it was kind of hard to chew. Mac & cheese 2.5 Too much pepper. My son rates, the Smashburger an 8 Pull pork a 9 Mac & cheese 3 It has too much pepper in it. It's a really great little place off of spunky Canyon Road is the only restaurant in the area I would give it another chance next time Im in the area hope they lighted up on the pepper and also workon Tri tip.

    My nephew was pleased with his meal and fancy soda

    I stopped by around midday on a Sunday. It was a little busy when we got there, but the line moved…read morepretty quickly, so we weren't waiting long. There was also plenty of parking and several seating options inside. We decided to order a little bit of everything so we could try as much of the menu as possible. We had the brisket, brisket burnt ends, rib tips, several sides, and both desserts. The brisket burnt ends were definitely my favorite. They were smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The brisket had a beautiful bark and was cooked perfectly, and the rib tips were just as good. I was honestly just as impressed with the sides. My favorites were the spicy mac and cheese and the potato salad. The potato salad was creamy and was the perfect thing to cool your mouth after eating the steamed jalapeños. The coleslaw and green beans were also really refreshing and balanced out all the rich barbecue. The biggest surprise for me was the sweet yams. It was so flavorful that it tasted like it had been slow-cooked in brown sugar and spices for hours. For dessert, I tried both the banana pudding and the peach cobbler. The banana pudding was the winner for me, but I also liked that the peach cobbler wasn't overly sweet. Even the cornbread was delicious. I ended up pairing it with the barbecue baked beans and was a great combo. Our total came to about $110 before tax and tip, but we ordered enough food to try a wide variety of meats, sides, and desserts, so I thought it was well worth it. Overall, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that I wouldn't get again. If you're looking for great Texas-style barbecue in the Inland Empire, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

The place has a nice laid back Texas ambiance. A little loud country music playing. Now the only con is the price. It is a little expensive. I would come back.

For some reason there was a block party happening outside with a live band, wow! Sat down at the bar and the friendly staff got me set up with a mango wheat beer, and an alacarte half rack of ribs that was about twice the size I thought it would be! The beer was mostly cold (it was a warm night). The ribs were delicious and sticky and I made it through the whole serving. The staff was playing their favorite The Weekend songs, after one of them accidentally crashed a track. And on the TV at the bar the Niners were crushing the Chargers in preseason football.

We ordered pulled pork and pointed at the sandwich. Same with my wife's order. The food arrived and they were not sandwiches. It was my first time and didn't they had a pulled pork plate. It's like $15 more than the sandwich. I said it was fine and they gave us some buns. She seemed annoyed and that kind of ruined my meal a little...partially my fault. When food arrived and I said it was fine, she just left. We didn't hit utensils. I waited 5-10 minutes and she was still in the back. I got up and got them myself. 15 minutes later, the table next to me also got the food and no utensils. That should one of the first things they improve on. The sauces were very good and I loved that part of the restaurant. It was pretty quite and calm atmosphere. They have a full bar. The bill came and it was $200 plus tip. My kids had a kids plate and another adult plate. It's pricey. We didn't want to go to a chain to support our local spots. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. I went to a famous steakhouse the next week, purchased a bunch of cocktails, 2 plates, and an appetizer for $200. Food is good. Service is so so and prices are high.

    We have had food from The Swinging Door Texas BBQ before, although it was quite a long time ago,…read moreand back then it was fantastic. After all this time, we decided to give it another try and get some food to go. First, I want to mention that the young woman at the counter was very nice and friendly. She is actually the reason I'm giving this place two stars. Before I get to the food, though, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time about restaurants and takeout orders. Why don't restaurants simply ASK customers whether they need plastic cutlery before automatically throwing it into every takeout bag? When I order food to go, chances are I'm taking it home, where--believe it or not--I actually own forks, knives, and spoons. I don't need another little package of plastic utensils that goes straight into the trash. Wouldn't it make sense from a business standpoint as well? Ask the customer, "Do you need utensils?" If the answer is no, you don't give them any. The restaurant has to buy less plastic cutlery, saves some money, and maybe some of those savings could eventually be reflected in the prices customers are paying. Isn't that kind of a no-brainer when you're running a business? And then there is the environmental aspect. I know that unnecessary waste doesn't seem to concern everybody in this country very much, but seriously, doesn't anybody care how much unnecessary plastic trash we produce? In the country I'm originally from, people have been taught for decades to take recycling seriously and to avoid unnecessary waste whenever possible. Don't automatically hand out plastic utensils, bags, etc. when people don't need them. Just ASK. It really doesn't require much effort. Okay, now to the food. As I said, I used to LOVE the food from this place. I love American BBQ in general, so I was really looking forward to it. For two meals, we ended up paying more than $60. At that price, I expected considerably more than what we received. My spouse ordered a combo with pork ribs, brisket, baked beans, garlic bread, and an extra cornbread. I ordered the tri-tip with mac and cheese and garlic bread. What happened to this place? I will give credit where credit is due: **the brisket was very good. Really good, actually.** Unfortunately, that was pretty much the highlight. The pork ribs were WAY too tough for BBQ. And the so-called "garlic bread"? Calling this garlic bread is almost an offense to garlic bread. Rubbery, tasteless, and just plain gross. Then there was my meal, which I had really been looking forward to. The tri-tip was tough as shoe soles. It also had the strangest coloration I've ever seen--pink on the outside and well-done on the inside. I honestly don't know how you even accomplish that. I've eaten at plenty of BBQ restaurants over the years, and I don't remember ever seeing tri-tip looking like that. And the mac and cheese... I'm a mac and cheese fan, so this one particularly hurt. Bland and soupy. Calling this mac and cheese was almost insulting to mac and cheese. And yes, I got the same excuse for "garlic bread" that my spouse did. Just awful. It's really disappointing because we remembered this place as having fantastic food. Maybe we caught them on a particularly bad day, but when you're spending more than $60 on takeout for two people, there shouldn't be this many things wrong with the meal. So, yep. I guess this was the very last time we'll be getting food from here. Sorry, Swinging Door. I really wanted to still like you.
