Personally thought it was overpriced and overrated for what it was. $35 and a 45 minute wait for a brisket plate and a pork shoulder taco. The potato salad was the best, the beans and taco were a bit on the saltier side, and the brisket was good but we got a piece that was a 1/3 fat which we couldn't eat. Felt a little scammed for $35. I don't think we'll come back, especially with other options in the area that are more worth it for the price and a shorter wait. read more

Priedite Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamos, California

I try to go here most Saturdays! The bbq tacos are easily my death row meal. There's a long line pretty much all the way until about 2pm, which is when you can sneak in and get your food pretty quick. The experience of their food is unlike anything around here. Best bbq I've ever had and I keep coming back! read more

Ok This place is so unique and I highly recommend it. It's hard to describe but there's basically an excellent low key barbecue place that I believe does bbq tacos / burgers some of the time and full BBQ other times... I had the beef tallow tortillas with the brisket and pork and it was fantastic. I also had the buttermilk peach pudding which was excellent as well. I would gladly return to try everything else but let me tell you they do not skimp on portion sizes ! It's really neat that in the same area there's a full wine bar with very friendly, knowledgeable staff to help you make the hard decision of choosing your wine, I believe there's also beer and there's even different areas to sit Depending on the ambience you're looking for. My friend and I sat at a cute little table in the garden next to a greenhouse and it was just so magical. We had local rosé and barbecue tacos- I mean I've never had such a combo it was really neat. I also highly recommend you check out the bodega shop on your way out. There's great local wines as well as extremely beautiful ceramics and other handmade goods. I will definitely go back. read more

We stopped here for lunch. The seating is outdoors and it was a great day. I had the brisket taco. The brisket was cooked to perfection and delicious. The BBQ sauce was very good. There were limited options at lunch but what they did have was great. Definitely worth a stop. read more

I specifically came to Priedite Barbecue to try their Sunday Bandito burger and honestly, the whole dining experience is such a vibe. Priedite's new home is so dreamy. It's a giant backyard lined with trees and picnic tables. The whole space is captivatingly beautiful - the people, the energy, the vibe. The Bandito burger is as good as promised. The grass fed beef is topped with grilled onions, picante pickles, American cheese, and burger sauce sandwiched between a brioche bun. The burger patties are meaty and un-smashed which I'm absolutely on board with. I love the melty, salty American cheese that's offset by the grilled onions and tangy pickles. It's a damn good burger and worth every penny (only $14 for a double!). Come for the burger of course, but don't sleep on the tacos. First of all, can we talk about the tallow tortillas? The tallow adds a savory richness to the tortilla. In fact, it makes the tortilla taste unexpectedly decadent. Even though the tortilla can stand alone, every taco variation at Priedite is worth ordering: brisket ($8), pork shoulder ($6), and bean & cheese ($3). The meat, the condiments, the tortilla together make for the tastiest bite. Be prepared to wait, but grab a drink on your way in. There's a separate area where you can order drinks while you wait for your food. And do yourself a favor and order a pack of tallow tortillas ($10 for 6). read more

On my first outing to Bodega, my mom, brother, and I decided to try out Priedite Barbecue. We had wanted to arrive at 11am but ended up arriving at noon. There was already a bit of line so we hopped right in. I'd say we waited about half an hour before being able to order. My mom and brother got brisket with some sides while I opted for bean and cheese tacos (vegetarian here heh). As soon as everything was ready, we dug in. My tacos really hit the spot. I can be slightly picky about beans but really enjoyed the ones from Priedite. Although I didn't try the brisket, I tried some of the sides including potato salad. It was all very delicious! Overall, my family and I had a very nice experience with Priedite. Definitely try to get there early if you can! As long as you like some good bbq, you're bound to have a good time. read more

I am not a big BBQ person but this is truly special and won me over. Priedite BBQ operates a food truck at Bodega Los Alamos on Thursdays through Sundays, 11am - 4pm or when they sell out. Saturday is the big day for the special BBQ and the other days have tacos and smash burgers. We loved the brisket tacos and the bean-cheese tacos! Great outdoor patio with picnic tables. Excellent service. Dog friendly. read more

Priedite Barbecue - Menu, Sunday, December 15, 2024 - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamos, California

Priedite BBQ is the best barbecue in the area, and it's not even close. Nothing else around here is comparable. When my wife and I lived in Texas, this is the kind of BBQ that came from the great places that you had to line up hours before opening to get. Saturdays are the big BBQ day, while they offer smaller menus (tacos, burgers) on Thursday/Friday/Sunday. It's a good idea to follow them on Instagram for announcements of specials or days where they won't be in operation. It's the kind of meal you plan for, and it's not cheap, but it's worth every penny. The seating is outdoors in the Bodega's patio picnic area, and for your first time, maybe check the Los Alamos weather and pick a day that's not too hot. read more

For a girl who has grown up eating west coast style bbq all my life Priedite Barbecue has some quality made bbq! The meats are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The chips and salsa were delicious and the beans, potato salad and handmade tortillas were oh so yummy! We love the beautiful laid back ambiance and the service was friendly and knowledgeable! read more

Omg this place is incredible. I am not by any means a bbq person but priedite made me a believer. I was headed up to San Luis Obispo and found them on Tik tok. The food looked incredible and I knew we had to stop. We ordered two meat plates so we could try off of the sides. Everything was 12/10 I was shook. I love how nothing was sweet, only savory. The beans tasted like chili, the slaw was super refreshing, potato salad diving and pickles addicting. The pork shoulder and brisket were out of this world!!! I would definitely make the drive back to experience this again. read more

Priedite Barbecue - Brisket and pork plates - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamos, California

I live in Santa Maria and a lot of people rave about this burger because they use good quality leftover meat for their patties. Personally I still was not a fan and believe the best smash burger is in Santa Barbara. Ambiance is great because you can grab a drink and enjoy the outdoors. Service is slow but because they have a long line wrapping around into the beer/wine garden. I prefer their tacos more so and would come back for those. read more

Very good pork shoulder tacos. Enjoyed the outside seating. Loved the habanero salsa.

The food at Priedite is awesome! The pork ribs are extremely tender and flavorful. The taco also great, the meat is juicy and there's great flavor from the toppings. It's a nice place to bring the family for a picnic style seating area with plenty of tables. read more

Priedite Barbecue - Beef rib, pork ribs, taco - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamos, California

Absolutely Outstanding BBQ! This is one of my all-time favorite places to eat -- hands down! Food: Everything I've tried here is absolutely delicious. The brisket is out of this world -- truly the best I've ever had. The ribs? Fatty, flavorful, and kissed with just the right amount of spice from the rub. And don't even get me started on the potato salad -- it's phenomenal! Light on mayo, full of flavor, and made with bits of red potato skin for that perfect texture. Value: I usually order one $9 taco (without the tortilla because I have celiac disease) -- and it's honestly all I need. It's that satisfying. But we always end up ordering extra to take home because everything is just that good. Environment: The setup is half the charm -- a BBQ trailer tucked behind a winery. Win-win! I grab some bubbles to go with my taco and enjoy the shaded tables and friendly, easygoing crowd. If you love BBQ, you'll love this place. It's flavorful, relaxed, and consistently excellent. We go at least twice a month -- and I'd go even more if I could! read more

5 Stars - Delicious Food in a Charming, Dog-Friendly Spot We stopped in Los Alamos for lunch and are so glad we did. Priedite BBQ & Bandito Burgers is tucked behind Bodega on Bell Street, with a relaxed outdoor setting, plenty of picnic tables with umbrellas, and a welcoming, dog-friendly vibe. You can even grab a glass of wine or a beer next door at Bodega to enjoy with your meal. We visited on a weekday when they were serving burgers and tacos (BBQ might be weekends only). The double cheeseburger was perfect--juicy, cheesy, and served on a soft brioche bun. We also loved the brisket and pork shoulder tacos. The hot sauce was excellent--definitely get it if you're trying the tacos! The potato salad was also fantastic--balanced and not too sweet. This place is a wonderful addition to the already charming town of Los Alamos. We'll absolutely be back anytime we're passing through. Highly recommend! read more

Nothing pretentious here. Down home, high quality, fresh and delicious ingredients. I could sit here all day and have some fresh salsa, guac and chips and a crisp non-alcoholic beer in their outdoor airy and welcoming space. It is as though I stumbled across an Oasis that has delicious burgers with a little kick, amazing briskett tacos, crisp and innovative fennel jalepeno slaw, and an enjoyable outing every single time. Great for large groups, families, children....everyone. They keep the menu streamlined and simple, while the food taste and quality always top. Brendan and his staff provide Best in Class service with a smile. One of the highlights of Los Alamos. read more

I'll start with saying my husband is an excellent bbq-er. So, my taste is a little bias. We arrived at 11:15 and were to the front of the line at 1pm. There was complimentary coffee, cold brew, and water while we waited midway through the line. The brisket was a little dry and the pork shoulder was nothing too special. The ribs were fantastic. I loved the tortilla and beans! Bring your patience and prepare to kick back while you wait. It made for an adventure and once a year experience! read more

Priedite Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamos, California

On Saturday they do a great bbq. A few other days they sell a few items that are small and delicious.

This barbecue is phenomenal! Everything is high-quality and top-notch. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The meats are usually sold by the pound but often times when you go and wait in line you'll notice a sign where you order where they sometimes offer one meet and two plates for 18 and $21. so definitely keep that in mind if you don't want to buy per pound. The gentleman who run this barbecue spot are so friendly and welcoming. They know what they are talking about and can answer any questions that you have. The line often gets long , so I suggest getting there closer to opening. Be prepared to wait. If you are not a fan of waiting for a while and being patient then this is not a place for you. They have plenty of large picnic tables that you can share with other guests. You can also go upfront to the winery area and sit at those tables as well. Top-notch outdoor barbecue place. Just for your information, they are open on Saturdays for barbecue and Sundays for burgers. read more

serving full barbecue only on Saturdays, Priedite Barbecue is definitely spot worth going to. Diving through the rolling hills along the coast to get here is beautiful. As I got my food, the sun came out from behind the clouds and making the meat glisten. Folding the brisket between the beef tallow tortilla (that I forgot to snap a picture of) was the perfect bite basically making my own brisket taco. Which they do serve and I was tempted to get after (but I have wedding I have to head to after this). The ribs was subtlety sweet just the way I like it. The pulled pork shoulder has a pretty nice smokey taste and was nice and moist without having any added sauces. Between each meat, taking a bite of the charred peppers was addicting, adding the right about of heat to transition to the next bite. I want to say they had one of my favorite slaws. Pretty heavy in the cilantro, fennel and having pieces of jalapeño gave it this refreshing, herby, but spicy bite. Instead of a creamy slaw, this used a lemon vinaigrette. As for the desert, you have to get that buttermilk pudding. Based on the menu, they place a seasonal preservative on top and today was strawberry. (this is my strawberry week it seems) The pudding was not too sweet. Almost as if the natural sugars in the buttermilk was the main source of sugar. With the strawberry preservative on top adding pockets of sugar between the custardy bites. As a coffee addict as well, the cold brew here was better than a lot of cold brew I've gotten at fancy cafes. A great bitter and chocolate aftertaste that was a nice way to finish my meal. read more

If you are craving a burger on Sunday, make a trip to Los Alamos! This is a pop up spot that only is open Saturday and Sunday! Sunday's are burgers only, so if you are looking for BBQ then go on Saturday. Okay let's get into the meat of it! ;) The burger patty was tender with crispy edges, cheese oh so melty and on a deliciously toasty bun. All made in the open air, so each one it fresh to order. We topped our meal off with the potato salad which had just the right amount of Mayo and tang. If you are still hungry, get one of their fresh baked cookies! Oh I can't finish without calling out that while you wait for your burger, you can grab an icy cold beer....for FREE! Yep, beer in ice for you to grab at your leisure. And you thought I had you at burger?!? read more

OMG, one of THE BEST BBQ places ever!!! Limited Sat/Sun hours (check on-line in advance), recommend coming early (opens 10:30a) before they run out of their limited house-smoked (using local Red Oak) meats! The Brisket and Spare Ribs were amazing, my faves! Not inexpensive, but so worth it to satisfy any BBQ foodie! Super casual, outdoor dining or takeout, come hungry for awesome eats!!! They offered complimentary coffee and beers while waiting in line to place an order. Overall 4.5+ rating in my book; Brisket and Ribs are 5-star, pork shoulder and sausage were solid 4+ for me, and tasty sides 4.5. Smoky, flavorful, house-made foods (including their tortillas), super friendly service, relaxed (no frill) ambience. Expect to spend $20-30pp for a filling meal. Great for family or friends gathering, or takeout for local picnic or party. The Brisket was 'melt in your mouth' tender, plenty of flavors from their house rub and smoking process - WOW! Same for the Ribs, great flavor and just the right tenderness nearly falling off the bone! Order by the pound, or by the # of ribs desired. The pork shoulder and sausage were also very good, but ranked behind Brisket/Ribs in my opinion. Check out their daily special as well, today was BLT taco using house-smoked bacon, local heirloom tomatoes with special sauce wrapped in a warm tortilla, yum! The sides of Red rice, pinquito beans, fennel jalapeño cole slaw, pickles and scallion potato salad were excellent and all complimented the meats - worth trying them ALL! I was traveling and got treated to this wonderful BBQ in Los Alamos ... am now a raving fan and will be back! ENJOY!!! read more

No notes... went on a Saturday for the platters of meat--went back the next day for their burgers. Everything was 10/10 down to the pickles. The atmosphere was everything you want in a back yard bbq( country music, picnic tables, paper plates and dirt floors). Theres always a line and they sell out before their stated closing time, so get there early and have a glass of wine or beer at the connecting wine place " Bodega". read more

I'm a Texan through and through living on the Central Coast. I miss TX smoked brisket. Priedite has done the thing. The brisket is perfection. There's a well known joint in Austin where folks wait hours for the bbq. Sorry sir, but Priedite has you beat by leaps and bounds. We like to pick up and head over the Ferrini Park and picnic under the trees. Get there early or you'll miss the boat. Also, follow their socials for updates! read more

A Thursday-Sunday Pop-Up in the back of Bodega Los Alamos, this place offer some serious "Q" that is not to be missed. We came on Sunday which is their Smash Burger day (but they also have Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Bean/Cheese tacos). Line wasn't too bad around lunch time -- only a 5-10min wait. (I'm told Saturday is their busiest day as they offer ribs and full plates of brisket, etc.) Really nice patio area with shared picnic tables. We loved the brisket tacos with plenty of meat that melts in your mouth. Bean/Cheese ones were also great -- not like any others we've ever tried. They even offer free coffee while you wait in line. Dog friendly too. read more

Absolutely incredible BBQ. We ordered a bunch and it's impossible to pick a favorite. I can't breathe, but it was worth it!! read more

Priedite Barbecue - Bandito burger, 3 tacos (brisket, pork shoulder, chili), potato salad, pickles, cheddar chive biscuit, fennel jalapeño slaw, & hot sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Los Alamos, California

Absolutely delicious and awesome location. My favorite lunch in Los Alamos! Must visit if you're in town!

After visiting bells we found this bbq place and decided to try it! We've had the burgers and they are great but this time it was bbq time. There aren't many "real" bbq places nearby so we were excited to finally get some after so long. The place itself is a nice little patio with complimentary coffee and beer! You read that right, they have free beer while you wait. Service will take a little while as each person or group goes one at a time and they only have one person taking the order while the second handles payment and sides. Overall service was good and the place is welcoming. Brisket- really good. Almost perfect but a little over for me. Still this is a must if you're visiting. Cut as you order and weighed on the spot. Pork- freaking spot on. They make chicharron out of the skin and chop it back into the rest of the pork. Really delicious and the best protein we tried. Ribs- I've come to learn that I'm just not a rib guy. Delicious, nice and tender and well seasoned, nothing bad to say but also wasn't amazed. Ranchero Sausage- this might have been the most disappointing. Cooked well but didn't really taste any depth of flavor. Not sure what I was expecting but it was underwhelming. Scallion potato salad- easily the best side! We've tried the pickles and slaw, see previous review, but this salad is amazing! Absolutely a must! Portion is a tad small but it is worth it Beans- they're beans, not a whole lot to say, they were fine but nothing special. Tortillas- handmade, soft and delicious, get some! Side note, the bbq sauce has a kick to it and it's just yummy. Overall I was very happy with most the menu items. This is definitely premium pricing for bbq but if you're in the area and are craving some then it is worth it! read more
