I only needed…read moreto pay and grab my order, but owner Ryan told me he was going to ring up two other customers first. I didn't mind waiting, but it felt like he was intentionally taking his time. When it was finally my turn, he asked me to meet him on the other side of the store, handed me my bag, and said I looked mad and could have the sandwiches for free. I told him I was happy to pay, and he responded by telling me to "fuck off." I was shocked and asked if he had really just said that, and he doubled down and told me to get going. I've been a regular customer for years, but after being treated like that by the owner, I won't be back. Ryan came across as someone who grew up with a silver spoon in Newport Beach and thinks he can talk to customers however he wants. Unfortunately, they just lost two loyal customers.

I stopped going to Heritage after Harper opened, and I love Heritage…read more I no longer need to drive down to San Juan because of this place. Their wagyu tri tip is perfection. Seasoned perfect, tender, delicious. My usual gripe with bbq is under seasoning, dry, and tough. Their specials are always amazing too. Their natty wine selection is top tier. The actual design of this place is amazing as well. I love this place, highly recommend.

There's something almost seductive about the smell of barbecue smoke in the air, especially when…read moreit's real wood smoke. As we approached Harper's, the first thing that caught us was the unmistakable aroma of pecan and hickory burning. You could smell the smoke before you even walked through the gate, and honestly, it was impossible not to follow it. We had been looking for barbecue after we couldn't get into the Orange County Fair, and thankfully, Harper's was close by. We pulled up, saw the wood stacked outside, smelled that incredible smoke, and immediately thought, "Okay, we may have just found something good." We finally found street parking and walked in, expecting the place to be packed because it looked incredibly busy. It was busy, but surprisingly, it didn't feel crowded or chaotic. The property itself is beautiful--landscaped, open, and thoughtfully designed. There are two patios in the front, an enclosed room with a bar, and then an outdoor backyard-style area with additional seating. But the real showstopper is the smokehouse. As soon as you walk through the gate, you can see this massive smoke room and the working barbecue pits right there in full view. You can see the smoke, the wood, the pits, and the barbecue being cooked right in front of you. It immediately sets the tone for what you're about to eat. Ordering is simple and casual. You walk up, choose your meats and sides, and they plate everything right in front of you. The meats are priced by the pound. And then came the beef rib. I have to say this because I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it: that beef rib was phenomenal. This was actually the first beef rib I've ever ordered. I've had a friend order beef ribs at another barbecue restaurant before, and I remember thinking they were somewhat chewy. So I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. Harper's completely changed my mind. The bark was incredible--deeply smoked, beautifully seasoned, and packed with flavor. And the tenderness was unbelievable. It was like eating pot roast on a stick. The meat was so tender and flavorful, and the combination of that bark, the smoke, the seasoning, and the texture was an absolute dopamine hit with the first bite. I cannot stress enough how good this beef rib was. The St. Louis pork ribs were equally delicious--smoky, flavorful, tender, and exactly what you want from good barbecue. We also tried the cornbread muffin, Brussels sprouts, and vinegar-based coleslaw. Everything was delicious. The only thing I would personally change would be cooking the Brussels sprouts a little longer. I prefer mine more tender, but that's completely a matter of personal preference. I'm currently doing carnivore and avoiding sugar, so I had to resist the pulled pork, even though I love pulled pork. I noticed they use Cali Gold barbecue sauce with it, so when I'm off this diet, that is absolutely going on my list. They also had smoked turkey and brisket, which I somehow talked myself out of ordering. I already regret that decision. And now I'm wondering whether they do smoked turkeys for Thanksgiving, because I would absolutely show up at my mother-in-law's house with a Harper's smoked turkey. The service was excellent. We were greeted immediately with warmth and kindness, and everyone was welcoming. And I have to mention the atmosphere because I was genuinely impressed by the space. This isn't just a place to grab barbecue and leave. It's a beautiful, comfortable space with multiple seating areas that would be fantastic for an anniversary, birthday, private gathering, or even a small wedding. Harper's feels like one of those places you're lucky to stumble upon. If you love barbecue, you need to experience this place for yourself. From the moment that pecan and hickory smoke finds you outside, all the way to that first bite of perfectly smoked beef rib, Harper's delivers. And that beef rib? Absolutely unforgettable. Run, don't walk, to Harper's.

I understand that I came after regular lunch hours, probably 2-3, but I was hoping they maintain their quality. The decoration is nice and there was not plenty of people dining when I came.

100% Worth It!!!…read more Great value for a dollar!! They might have one of the BEST burgers in the OC. The fries are superb. My son and I patron there, weekly. The location is nowhere near our home. However, the burger and fries are worth the distance. I'm looking forward to exploring the menu and purchasing one of the many wagu steaks available. It's just so hard not to order the burger because it's that good!!!!

No problem I speak pretty good Spanish. In any event I ordered a half pound of carne asada and a small guacamole. For some reason they cut the steak in very small strips, which were raw.

Solid late-night Japanese BBQ stop!…read more We ordered the Marbled Prime Boneless Short Rib and Prime Outside Skirt. While the portions are on the smaller side, the meat had great marbling and tasty marinades. Despite food taking a long while to arrive, the staff was attentive with frequent water refills throughout the meal. A small but memorable touch: complimentary hot green tea! If you're craving quality Japanese BBQ and don't mind paying a premium, this spot is worth checking out. Note that the restaurant is small, suitable for solo dining or small groups. Just be prepared for a dining experience where everything is petite... except the bill. Tip: Bring cash for a discount!

The Easter Bunny is keeping cool inside waiting to take photos with your little ones (and pets?) I saw a lady bring in her two small dogs to take a photo with the Easter Bunny. There's a face painting booth outside as well.

First time coming here to this location. Have been to the Seal Beach location before and it was…read morepretty good. Super friendly and helpful staff. I was able to get more spices (Island Jerk Seasoning, Chicago Chop and Steak Seasoning, and Island Spice Seasoning) and also a package of Mary's Chicken. Excited to make it at home. I also got a pound of the uncured calabrese sausage which i have made before for my morning breakfast. This store is similar to the SB store as how clean it is and how much variety of proteins that you can try. They crazy item I found was a bag of frozen chicken hearts. HA! I like how they have a variety of beef, steaks, chicken, turkey, seafood, pork, and ground meat. Make me want to learn to cook more foods! They also carry exotic meats such as wild boar, kangaroo, yak, bison, duck, alligator, ostrich, quail, and one thing I found most interesting was rabbit and pork sausage mixture. One day I will try these exotic flavors. Moving on to dessert, I got their cheesecake, mini beigneits with mixed berries, and lava cakes. All quite good and easy to prepare for a quick party or small gathering.
