We were suppose to be at the comedy show next door and didn't realize it got canceled but I'm glad it did because we got to meet the owner of this amazing place. Started a cool conversation and it lead to him giving us a free sample and oh my lord these are the best ribs I've ever tried. Will definitely be coming back soon. read more

Solid spot to get some BBQ! My girl and I went here for lunch on a random Tuesday. The ambiance looks like typical BBQ pit stop with decoration of meat and cuts. The service is awesome; Our server always checked us consistently.. granted we're the only customers during that time, but we appreciate that gesture. My girl and I shared to one of their combo meals of 3 meats and 2 sides. We chose baby back ribs, tri-tip and pulled pork. Every meats are delicious especially their pulled pork. The sauce what makes it superb and flavorful. The tri-tip is a little rubbery, but still tasty nonetheless. Their machcheese is the bomb and their beans combines with it have its kick. Overall, its pretty solid.. no complains here :) read more

I've given these people chance after chance I'm just leaving the restaurant from trying to pick up a order. I placed yesterday afternoon. I stood in a long line for 45 minutes. They did not have my food. They cannot find my order. They were very rude. very dismissive very unprofessional as I stood there trying to be patient they had to go and do my order all over again. The manager refused to give me an extra sauce for my inconvenience this is the third time they messed up my order. There were also a time when I came up here to get potato salad and baked beans they forgot to put in my order for the Fourth of July and my potato salad tasted like someone had used dish liquid in it. I was trying to support a black owned business, but they are horrible. They are horrible to their customers. read more

This place is BOMB! Discovered during the pandemic and now my go to bbq spot. Everything is good from sides to entire family meals! The employees are always so kind and food is always served hot. It does take a while sometimes, but it's fresh bbq and worth the wait! read more

The food was pretty good, really REALLY rich. Got a lunch plate, and links and rib tips, w/ sides. Didn't get a pic of the links rib tips just the lunch plate. When during lunch time nothing going on at all. Placed my order minimal wait time. The actual restaurant side had an odd smell, the takeout side has no smell. Little on the pricey side, but the portions are pretty good. When I went the cashier told me they were out of Togo utensils and all they had was knifes and napkins. Might go again. read more

Hambone's is a gift from the BBQ Gods. I love the smoke flavor, tender meats, delicious sauces, and savory sides. Some restaurants lack on the side options, but Hambone's isn't one of them. Their 5 St. Louis Rib Plate with 2 sides and cornbread is the best value and will leave you craving more. read more

Got a to go order on the way home! Meat was so/so, catfish was delicious. All the sides were great. Definitely wouldn't be my first choice of barbecue food specially when all the barbecue was not that great. We had got a meat plate that had ribs, hot links in the Brisket! Mac & cheese was great yams are good read more

DO NOT GO TO TACO TUESDAY!!!! The TACOS WERE HORRIBLE! The meat portion was next to zero with zero seasoning! The shells were not even cooked! Worst of all....it took 30mins to give us Nothing! Should have returned for my money back!!!!! read more

SOLID BBQ restaurant in downtown Bellflower. This is my second day in a row, so.... yeah! I had the pulled pork and a side of garlic mashed potatoes day 1, and mac & cheese day 2. Pulled pork is phenomenal. And quite frankly, that Tangy sauce is some of the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes were outstanding, but the mac & cheese disappointed as it was dry, not creamy. Service was good and all in all, the BBQ here is top notch. Go here. read more

I got the 3 meat combo that comes with 2 sides. I ordered 1/2 hour before closing, and my food still arrived warm and perfectly packaged. BBQ sauce was perfect combo of tangy & sweet. All the meats were tender and mashed potatoes were good. The only thing I didn't care for was the Mac n Cheese. It was a little dry for my liking but, I did order just before closing so I may have had what was left. Great little bbq spot, will definitely try again! read more

Beyond disappointed in this spot. I ordered online and they messed up my order. Asked for sauce on my food and they didn't provide any not even on the side. The food could have used it since it was bland and dry. The workers didn't even seem to care. Had customers waiting for quite awhile. Get a bottled soda too since the one from their machine is flat. read more

Restaurant Review: HAMBONE BBQ SMOKEHOUSE Location: 9827 Belmont St., Bellflower, CA 90706 Visit Date & Time: June 7, 2025, at 1:06 PM Order: Two (2) Soul Bowls - Total Cost: $39.78 I've been a loyal supporter of Hambone BBQ Smokehouse for over a decade--back when Soul Bowls were just $8 and you were still deciding which portraits to hang on the walls. That history makes this experience especially disappointing. On my recent visit, I picked up two Soul Bowls and drove back to Gardena. Upon opening the containers, I was shocked and frustrated to find a shockingly small portion of Tri-Tip. It was so minimal I couldn't even taste it. For nearly $20 per bowl, what I received was essentially baked beans, mac and cheese, and what felt like a trace of meat. The portion size was not only underwhelming--it was disheartening. I expected better care and consistency, especially from a place I've supported for years. Had it not been for the traffic on the 91 Freeway, I would have returned immediately to request a refund. To the owners: I'm voicing this disappointment out of respect and history. I've watched your business grow and rooted for your success, but experiences like this hurt your reputation. Please make sure the quality and portions match the price and loyalty you've built over the years. read more

Today was my first time trying Ham Bones barbecue in Bellflower, and I honestly expected it to taste like every other barbecue spot I've been to before. I walked in thinking it would be familiar, maybe even predictable, but it turned out to be nothing like that at all. This establishment completely exceeded my expectations from the very first bite. The baby back ribs were incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone with rich, savory flavor, and the tri-tip beef rib was just as impressive--juicy and cooked to perfection. The macaroni and cheese was moist and creamy throughout, and the garlic mashed potatoes were super garlicky but absolutely delicious with great flavor, and on top of that the dragon fruit lemonade is fire!!!! On top of that, I came to find out the establishment is Black-owned, which is rare to see when it comes to barbecue spots in the city of Bellflower. The owner is nice, genuine, and shows real love and compassion for his food--I will definitely be back. read more

Delicious ! Meat was juicy and tender and the side dishes were on point especially the Mac and cheese

This place has really lost its quality since he changed locations. I'm not sure if they changed owners or what but the catfish fillet platter looked like catfish nuggets. On top of that it was such a small amount of food for the price. After calling the order in it still took an additional 20 minutes. The customer service was poor and the other customers were complaining about wait times. I would not go back there so sad to see what used to be a good business turn into something like this. read more

I can't believe I haven't written a review for my favorite BBQ spot yet! Hambones never disappoints. I order a platter 100% of the time because I know I can trust the food to be amazing and enough to feed my whole family. My go-to is the three or four meat platter--baby back ribs, chicken, and brisket. The meat is always tender, flavorful, and perfect with their mild sauce (plus I always ask for extra sauce because it's just that good). The sides are absolutely bomb. My personal lineup is mac & cheese, yams, greens, and an extra large order of barbecue beans. Every bite is seasoned just right and feels like true comfort food. Hambones is my #1 BBQ spot hands down. Consistent, delicious, and worth every single bite. read more

Absolutely delicious! Ribs beef and Baby Back Chicken were cooked to perfection. The sauce was just right.. Not to harsh with that over run hickory flavor. The meat was not over seasoned and extremely tasty and tender, and oh the greens were just down home good. German Chocolate Cake was to die for. Homemade moist and just good...! If you havent been to Hambones put on your list for real BBQ and fixin's. You will be more than glad you did and completely satisfied. Thank you to the courteous staff... we traveled from Perris Ca turns out, Hambones BBQ was well worth the trip....and yes we will be back...for sho! read more

First time here! I ordered 2 brisket and 1 chicken taco on a tuesday and the price of each was $2 so it was a great deal!! I gotta say their mild and tangy BBQ sauce was one of the best i've had personally. Would definitely be back here! I gotta be honest tho service was not the best in regards to the super long wait, not answering the phone to allow ordering ahead, i'm pretty patient when it comes to waiting but our wait was a bit overboard! But I gotta give some grace because there was only one cashier up in the front doing it all! Ambiance is nice got a nice spacious indoor seating area and for parking there's a front and back area to park! Will be back for the tuesday taco deals & a nice BBQ meal! read more

Hambone's BBQ Smokehouse - taco tuesday ($2 each) ordered 2 brisket & 1 chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Bellflower, California

One of my most favorite places to eat In Bellflower! There were plenty of parking spots. We were seated right away and menus were given. Water came right away. I got my usual 5 baby back ribs, 2 sides, and cornbread. My friend got the same. The food was delicious and we were both happy! The place is always busy, but there is plenty of seating. It was a delicious meal with a great friend. We will be back! Please try it and I hope you enjoy it! read more

This place is terrible now and such a disappointment. Been coming here for years the service is terrible man. You guys are turning customers away 30 minutes before you close and stop answering the phone at 8:00 is crazy. You charge $30 for a rib tip dinner and put that in your smallest plate you can. read more

I agree with the others. The food is good, pricey, but with good portions. It is very rich and some of the sauces are too sweet and need to be served on the side. Service was just OK. The inside of the restaurant is drab, cold and uninviting. It is too bad they do not serve beer and wine. It is still worth another visit. read more

BBQ meats are always tender. Mac & Cheese is not to be missed. Greens however, are hit and miss. I've had catered meals from them twice. I've purchased meals here a few times. Now they're in downtown Bellflower. Nice venue, with a sit-in section, and a take-out section. Next to free parking lot, small park, and comedy club. read more

My first time, referred by a friend and my sister. I ordered the Rib Tips Dinner (Tangy Sauce) that was good. The meat was tender and good. The sides baked beans were good and very tasty. The collard greens were horrible - no flavor, no seasoning and tough texture. The greens appeared to have a peppery taste and as if it was soaked in water only. For this to be a Black-Owned restaurant, the sides especially the collard greens should be top-notched. I'm sorry but the greens were poorly cooked. I did agree with the portion size of the meat and baked beans. I will return with hopes that everything I ordered is excellent cooked and prepared. read more

Bbq is always on point here. Good taste, good quality, will always recommend for people to try when they're in bellflower

I swear I ain't neva going there again. First time eating here thought to try it out . I wanted this place to be good. It wasn't I ordered a pound and a half of rib tips I was ready omg ready I tell you the rib tip was so dry and cut weird it wasn't plump rib tips it was so thin it felt like sand paper scratching my throat as it went down. I was like hell naw let me try another one same feeling this is the worst bbq I ever had. I should have stayed with restaurants I know. Like Johnson Brothers BbQ in COMPTON now I ever time I eat there never a disappointment. Hambones don't have no flavor in the meat nor the sauce very bland wouldn't not recommend!!!!! One star since there is no zero rating. Terrible service giving me two day old reheated old rib tips!!!! read more

I'm baffled as to why this place doesn't have 5 stars! The food is amazing and so are the owners. It's hard to find good BBQ in LA. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Just WOW! I ordered a 3 meat plate with 2 sides, I selected a leg quarter (cornish hen size ) with a touch of bird flu (anorexic), sliced brisket (where's the beef?) and tri tip and again ( where's the beef?) The malnourished chicken did fall off of the bone, the thought of sliced brisket was tender as well as the tri-tip, my meal that I ordered via delivery at 12:30pm they were already scrapping to fulfill my order or they are naturally "reserved" with their portions. The portions I received were they were sample size portions. The audacity to sell 3 meat plates for $23.00 ( sample size portions) is highway robbery. read more

Mostly everything was OKAY, but!!! Them canned yams are DISGUSTING! I'm disappointed. They were BARELY doctored up. There was no effort put into the yams. Go back to the drawing board on those. The MAC was definitely good! The Mac and ribs is the only thing worth getting. Tri tip was chewing as hell. Not melt in your mouth chewy but tough chewy. read more

First time here. Service was good just kind of an awkward place to wait to be seated as you're standing in the middle of the dining room. It was quiet and chill though. The steak ribs and links were good. The brisket was on the dryer side but flavor was good. Spicy BBQ sauce was good but they doused the meat in it. If I were to come back I'd definitely order it on the side. Still some tasty grinds though read more

We solicited Hambone's to cater my father's 80th birthday party. Mr. Keenan personally took our order and personally delivered the food on time. My entire experience with Hambone's and it's staff was professional and filled with delightful extras. Not only is the food of reasonable cost, but it tastes amazing. Our guests were so impressed with the food. I will definitely use them again. I recommend Hambone's as a first class catering operation. read more

I can't rate them on the food because I didn't get a chance to taste it. I have never had Hambone before but was told it was really good. I can say that I am not happy with the customer service, I drove in the rain for an hour to get there calling all way. When I got there I watched the young lady ignore the phone when not picking it up then hang it up multiple times during the 30 minutes I stood there. They kept coming out of the kitchen saying we'll be with you in a minute. The young lady finally came out and asked if she could help me; when I to told her what I wanted to order, she told me that they were closed; I asked why would they let me stand there ALL THAT TIME and if I could place one item. A lady yelled NO!!! from the kitchen. Total waste of time and gas, not to mention everything else was closing while I stood there waiting to order. read more

It took me WAAAAY too long to finally try Hambones. What have I been sleepin on?! Put some signs on the doors that aren't active maybe with some arrows or something. I was lost! But when I called the girl who answered was super friendly and offered to come out & get me. She never once seemed annoyed bout it. Appreciate that! As you can see, I got it all. Lol. Everything was superb. BBQ sauce was super flavorful. The peach cobbler was oooweee good. That cinnamon flavor was chefs kiss. The banana pudding? Best I've ever had fr fr. Only thing that was kinda meh for me was the cornbread. Good texture but just wasn't sweet like I personally prefer. Mixed it with the meat n bbq sauce, boom problem solved. I'll be back again soon. read more
