Had an awesome meal at P-Trains BBQ! Smelled it from the Main Street before I even pulled into the event. The brisket was the star -- incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with that perfect smoky flavor. You can tell it's slow-cooked with care because every bite just melts in your mouth. The pulled pork was just as impressive -- flavorful, moist, and great on its own or with a little sauce. The sides really delivered too. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, and the baked beans had a nice sweet-and-smoky balance that paired perfectly with the meat. Portions were generous and definitely satisfying. Great food, friendly service, and that authentic BBQ taste that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend if you're craving legit, no-shortcuts barbecue! The employees were super helpful and you can feel the love they put into the meal. Even on a hot day, smiles all around. Definitely must try for all foodies and bbq lovers. read more

Great job! read more

Loved the food! The chicken breast was juicy and the ladies were so sweet. Check them out!

Just had this BBQ for the first time. What can I say the Beans were not cooked all the way The mac & cheese was Dry and bland!!! The brisket was so tough. I had to cut it with a knife.. The meat was not quality at all. It needed another 4 hours of smoking. This was a work holiday dinner for about 150 people and everyone was shocked at how bad it was. And it was not cheap. Save your money and go to Badlands or any other barbecue place.. read more

Best food!!!! Got to catch them!!!!!!! So friendly and welcoming!!! Definitely tap in with them!!

Caira and Janae were amazing and so was the food!!!! I would highly recommend trying this BBQ.

Had this yesterday and it was terrible! My roll was soggy, the coleslaw was tasteless, there was a hair in the slaw and the pork was chewy. My husband ordered a 3 item combo and only got sausage and pork. Would not recommend them. Especially for $32! read more

I only get to see them once a year when the Thomas the Train event happens in November But I think these guys nailed it with their BBQ. The ribs have that snappy texture when you bite into it. Its so nice, it's something I look forward to when I go to that event. Hope to see them next year. Oh yeah. And the sauce was outstanding as well. I liked the one here way more than some of the well known BBQ places in San Diego. read more

Hello for anybody out there wondering this is some of the best barbecue that I've ever had! It's the perfect blend of good old American barbecue mixed with flavors and dishes from the Motherland! I've been to multiple events where P Trains barbecue was a vendor from Riverside to Rancho Cucamonga to Temecula, to music festivals, and private events P train barbecue always delivers they support show up for local businesses, events, churches, firefighters and even the police force. Please don't overlook this small business or choose to miss out on delicious food choices which are different every time. Their smoker is legendary, custom made, and is a sight to see! Also don't forget to buy some of their secret family recipe barbecue sauce for your own barbecue days. I guarantee you will not regret it. Ptrains barbecue is awesome ! read more

The food was amazing and people were very nice. We ate there when visiting the LA auto show.

Best BBQ in the area by far and hands down the best mac and cheese I've ever had. This will be a regular spot for sure!

We recently held our annual law enforcement appreciation ceremony at March Air Field Museum and PTrain was our caterer. Not only were they on time, brought their own signage for their food, but they were pleasant, prepared, respectful and friendly. Our 500+ guests were able to enjoy an evening with the best smoked brisket and bbq chicken. (appetizers included salad, corn muffins, macaroni salad, potato salad, bbq beans) Guests were gushing over the amount of food and how delicious everything tasted. They also provided appetizers and deserts and two beverage stations that included water, ice tea, lemonade and coffee. The peach and berry cobbler was outstanding. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Good morning all, I would like to give a HUGe shout to PTrains and the whole crew. Recently they catered our event from lunch through dinner for a couple hundred people each day. The food was amazing, especially the sausage links. They cooked ribs, brisket, chicken and wings along with very tasty sides to go with it. Before our event was even over we hired them for next year's event. read more

I would leave no stars after what they served us at my job when they catered. They gave us mash potato's with no flavor. Might as well served us cardboard. *responses to my review: yall had a opportunity to blow up and blew it. Nobody is talking good about what yall served that day. The best thing was the beans and only got six of them and a lot of water. Again horrible horrible! Sorry sis! read more

We have had the privilege of having Ptrains BBQ at the Huck Finn Jubilee the last two years! Not only is their BBQ mouth watering delicious, but the owner Caira is such an amazing and kind person to work with. Her story is inspiring and her energy is always positive. Would highly recommend their catering your next event. read more
