The best Santa Maria BBQ in Santa Maria? It very well may be…read more The Filipino Community Center opens its doors during the weekends and serves mouthwatering, tender, smoky, and delicious barbecue. If someone visited me, and asked me where to go for signature Santa Maria style barbecue, I'd tell them to go here. Get the tri tip. Get the chicken. Get napkins, because you may cry. This place is like a local secret. We only heard about it through friends and neighbors we know. They have plenty of bench style seating in the community center. Many people just do takeaway. Is it the best? It's a tough call. But if there was a competition, Filipino community center bbq may be best of 3

Very tasty, delicious BBQ…read more I've been a customer for decades. Just wanted to jump on here and spread the word that the BBQ is at the center. Super delicious flavoring, seasoning and the meat was juicy (I ordered the chicken). You can ask for all salad (no rice) or all rice (no salad). The lumpia takes them about 5 minutes to deep fry on the spot to order. The outer wrapping is nice and lightly crspy; very satisfying with an insanely delicious aroma. Soooo good. Inside was corn kernels, carrot, peas, and ground meat. A little hard to find but not really. Just drive on Preisker and it's the driveway entrance after Boomers nextdoor. Directly across from the firestation. Go inside the center to order and get food. Nice friendly staff. Love it! My favorite. I send my my fam that visits from out of town here and they rave about it too.

Can I give 100 stars? Such an awesome experience, and it's only open on Saturday's in the morning…read more I had an egg casserole with bacon and cheese, and it was one of the finest things I've ever eaten. The berry pop tarts were out of this world. The best part was when the homeowner, Glenn, sat down with me as I enjoyed my coffee and eggs, and talked with me for over an hour. Such a gracious and down to earth man. Next time I'm in Los Olivos, I'm stopping here again, and I hope to spend some time with Glenn and his wife's wonderful baking again.

I've only had the meatballs and pasta from this tiny establishment just 2 blks east of 101@ Tefft…read moreAve. I grew up in a 'little Italy' neighborhood south of downtown San Jose and ate plenty of local deli and restaurant plus home cooked Italian meals. These meatballs remind me of those days! These are fine textured, tender and juicy with plenty of meaty flavor. The sauce (or gravy) was JUST like my friends' Nonnas, and rivals the iconic La Villa Deli sauce, seasoned with a delicate touch and not oversalted. I 'll try some of the other Italian sandwiches, incl the Pastrami dip, which was a childhood favorite. Very friendly staff and they do a steady takeout trade, so call in if you're in a time crunch.
