    a plate of food

    So like I loved James and Lupita, like I want to be their friend LOL No but kidding aside, their food was amazing and service exceptional, perfect for our outside mountain top Zoom wedding. They never took off their masks which we truly appreciated. I'd recommend them to all who like clean, yummy and friendly service. Loved you guys and hope to use your services again.

    Absolutely amazing catering. They just catered a staff lunch for our development day and it was amazing! Best BBQ we have had. Everyone wants to have them cater our next event too!

    The whole spread: bbq chicken, tritip, ribs, beans, rolls, and bacon Mac. We made our own salad.

    We recently celebrated my little man's first birthday at home with a small family party and wanted to support a small business so we booked Smok'n Blues BBQ. Lupita was super easy to work with, the price was right, and most importantly, the food was a hit! We got the tri tip, bbq chicken, and ribs with bacon mac and baked beans, and my son LOVED it all! Of course he was the most important critic, but actually the whole family was pleased! The portions were generous; we were eating leftovers for a week, and the bbq chicken was actually the showstopper with most of our family. I also really liked the ribs. HIGHLY recommend booking Smoke'n Blues for your next event!

    The best BBQ we have ever had! Lupita and James were awesome. We had the Brisket, Pulled Pork, and Tri-Tip with the bacon macoroni and cheese, baked beans, salad and bread. We look forward to using them again. Allison McKoane Racing

    Thank you for an AWESOME experience with your catering company. Everything was perfect and the food was fantastic! The family LOVED the bacon mac n' cheese, potato salad, chicken, tritip and ribs! Lupita was so kind and responded quickly in all communication. We had so much food left over - very generous portions. Thank you again for helping to make my father's 80th birthday party easy and memorable!

    Their set up was perfect! Cute and clean.

    I did not want to miss out on another one of my parties. This day was a special celebration so I wanted excellent quality and taste, easy with no mess or work, someone that I could trust to take care of my guests better than I could. Smok'n Blues exceeded my expectations! From the beginning when I sent questions through yelps app to them until they pulled away from my house. Seamless! Above 5 star rating in every area. And let me tell you the Beef Brisket was the best I've ever had in my life!! My guests couldn't stop raving about it. I highly recommend this company for your event if you want it to be the best!

    I stopped by around midday on a Sunday. It was a little busy when we got there, but the line moved…read morepretty quickly, so we weren't waiting long. There was also plenty of parking and several seating options inside. We decided to order a little bit of everything so we could try as much of the menu as possible. We had the brisket, brisket burnt ends, rib tips, several sides, and both desserts. The brisket burnt ends were definitely my favorite. They were smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The brisket had a beautiful bark and was cooked perfectly, and the rib tips were just as good. I was honestly just as impressed with the sides. My favorites were the spicy mac and cheese and the potato salad. The potato salad was creamy and was the perfect thing to cool your mouth after eating the steamed jalapeños. The coleslaw and green beans were also really refreshing and balanced out all the rich barbecue. The biggest surprise for me was the sweet yams. It was so flavorful that it tasted like it had been slow-cooked in brown sugar and spices for hours. For dessert, I tried both the banana pudding and the peach cobbler. The banana pudding was the winner for me, but I also liked that the peach cobbler wasn't overly sweet. Even the cornbread was delicious. I ended up pairing it with the barbecue baked beans and was a great combo. Our total came to about $110 before tax and tip, but we ordered enough food to try a wide variety of meats, sides, and desserts, so I thought it was well worth it. Overall, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that I wouldn't get again. If you're looking for great Texas-style barbecue in the Inland Empire, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

    First time here. Wow the brisket was outstanding. I…read morerecommend wet, aka fatty cut. The brisket was so juicy. The staff were very polite and quick. While waiting, we were offered samples. The place has a nice laid back Texas ambiance. A little loud country music playing. Now the only con is the price. It is a little expensive. I would come back.

They've been in that location for 19 years but first thing to know is there is no dine in option and if you blink, you'll pass right by it. You walk in, there's the order/pick up counter and a couple chairs to sit in to wait for your order, a jukebox that says "do not touch" and a soda fridge. But don't fret, the ribs are worth picking up or having delivered. Fresh, succulent, "cut it with a spoon" tender and meaty ribs. Very good sauce covering everything and I don't say this lightly. I usually eat my ribs sauceless or with just a little to dip in to but not this time. All my fingers and half my face got sauced and I didn't care. The sides were as noteworthy as the ribs. Delicious, moist, cheesy homemade (or good as homemade if it was store bought) mac & cheese and baked beans cooked to perfection. The only things that held up the fifth star was 1. Their sliced beef. It was fatty and drenched in bbq sauce like they were hiding their sliced beef shame in it, 2. The service was slow. I called in the order, was told 15 minutes, I arrived 30 mins later and they hadn't even started putting the order together. I ended up waiting an additional 15 mins while they prepared the order, and 3. Their hours are a little selective. Make sure you check the hours on the day you go. All of this is forgivable though because what they do right, they do RIGHT!! And they definitely do ribs right. Sorry, I failed to capture any pictures.

Don't want to be sweating while you're eating. Coming from highland/redlands, I am happy that there is a ayce kbbq spot in close proximity. Starting with cons: the parking is absolutely terrible. Parking spots are cramped and there's simple not enough spaces, especially during peak times. Pros: now as a long time ayce bbq lover, I understand that red castle quality is not top tier and I don't expect it to be when I go. I view red castle as an affordable joint to get my brisket and beef belly fix, which are the only two items that I basically get. It's odd reading about others experience with service, because every time I go, the service is always fast. I don't need to ask for the grill change because they are fully staffed and consistently checking in. Sure, the hospitality could improve a little but realize what you're going in there for. To stuff ya face! If you're coming here and comparing this place to other kbbq joints, you'll surely be let down. But to enjoy ayce protein for ~25 bucks without having to clean and prep a solid meal, many would realize the true gem that is Red Castle. I remember when their ayce was 13-15 bucks when they opened. Those were the days. I'm also glad that they allow single dining during the week. Not something that I'm able to take advantage of most of the time bc of work but I'm glad it's offered. To all the kbbq snobs (I'm one of them still). Go pay 40 for ayce somewhere else and be happy. Red castle is my go to for a quick fix that is close to home and affordable.

    Let's be honest .. this place is very MID KBBQ . The wait times are ridiculous and parking is a…read moredisaster especially on a busy street tucked close to a residential neighborhood. I wouldn't call this place BEST in the IE even if call it a place that's somewhat budget friendly in addition to a service fees and adding on the tip for service that's bare minimum. Quality of meats very fatty & poor & the ban chan (side dishes) are extremely overly saturated with sauce and Kim chi that wasn't fresh it was more on the SOUR and just disgusting in flavor , texture and color it doesn't seem Authentic if you know the difference of real Kim chi from other restaurants. Made several attempts to flag our server which seemed flustered and overwhelmed just for ordering extra meats and replenishing our beverages was such a huge in convenience. For KBBQ definitely in this order I'd say .. local restaurants I'd rather go to Wang Cho in riverside or chino hills U grille 2 spots in Rancho Cucamonga and As far as ayce self serve Koreana grille Riversde . If you wanna travel out hit up Orange County , Rowland heights , LA , SGV for the real deal . Would i dine here again , negative it's disgusting and poor quality of meats very fatty and rubbery texture and ban chan & soups that aren't authentic this restaurant is catered to a particular budget demographic and everything isn't just poor quality. Eating kbbq is more than just eating meat & drinkin beer .. Realistically but do what you wanna do ..

    Wilson's BBQ kindly agreed to accommodate my order for Thanksgiving. I really appreciated the care…read morethat went into packing my order. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I ordered Beef Ribs, Baby Back Ribs, Tri-tip, Pancakes, and Asparagus. Tri-tip The Tri-tip was the best I've had. He was even able to get it medium-rare per my request so I was pretty impressed. Whenever I order Tri-tip, it's been difficult to find a BBQ place that gets the smoky flavor well penetrated into the meat, but Wilson's was able to do so. Beef Ribs These Beef Ribs were the best I've had in recent memory (Bludso's/Rub45/Phil's BBQ). Very smoky and super juicy. Fat is rendered so perfectly. Not fall off the bone (which I hate) but just enough tug--perfect. Baby-back Ribs I'm no BBQ connoisseur, just a big fan, so forgive my layman's language. This is easily one of the tastiest baby-back ribs I've had, but it's not my favorite. This seems more like a competition style baby back rib, very similar to the type that Rub45 produces. I like my ribs super smoky, even "over smoked" if that makes sense--with an extra dark bark. The Tri-tip and Beef ribs were so smoky so I'm pretty sure the "lack" of smoke flavor in the ribs was on purpose. It's hard to describe, but all these quality BBQ guys obviously really know what they are doing. But for some strange reason, I've been noticing that the Baby Ribs in particular from these quality BBQ guys are always noticeably less smoky than all the other meats and have a much sweeter glaze. I would prefer a much smokier and savory flavor. Cornbread Pancakes I'm a huge, huge fan of these pancakes. If I had to guess, these were cooked in a cast iron pan. The pancakes are very dense, but in a good way--they will really fill you up. I really loved the texture and taste. There was this place called Kick Back Jack's in Claremont, Ca where I grew up that offered cornmeal pancakes and I've been looking far and wide for something similar. This is way better and I'm so happy I've finally found a place. Asparagus My wife wanted some greens, but I ended up eating most of the tray. Very delicious. I ordered a ton of food. I have a very young child and a wife who barely eats. I was able to finish mostly everything by myself. I am really excited to order from Wilson's BBQ again. He said that he can accommodate smaller orders from time to time if he is given enough notice so that's super awesome!
