There's also a full bar where you can order local brews, plus a self‑serve condiment bar to customize your meal. The staff was friendly and quick to bring out our food. Seating is plentiful both indoors and outside, with umbrellas for shade. Parking is easy, with spots on the street and in the lot next door. The architecture and décor give the whole place a charming old‑Spanish feel. The food was incredible and will definitely bring us back. The Emmit BBQ Bacon Burger was our favorite. The thick bacon was cooked perfectly, and the onion ring added a great crunch. The patty was cooked medium‑well and packed with flavor. This is one of the best burgers we've ever had. The tri‑tip sandwich was also great. We loved its simplicity and the moist, tender meat with very little fat. The locally made bun really elevated it. They serve BBQ sauce on the side, which paired nicely with the tri‑tip. The 50/50 basket is huge--we didn't expect so much food, but we weren't complaining. The onion rings were excellent. This will be a must‑stop on every trip down to SoCal from now on.

For our leisurely drive from San Diego to San Francisco, my wife had plotted several stops of…read morecities she thought would be fun places to stop to break up our almost 8 hour drive. My wife is an amazing trip planner and she chose stops in Santa Barbara, Solvang, Santa Maria, Carmel, and Monterey. I'm a foodie and once my life pahtner told me about Santa Maria being known for their style of BBQ, I was looking forward to our stop in Santa Maria and grubbing on Santa Maria style BBQ. After checking the different BBQ restaurants on Yelp and factoring in our timeline, I selected Rancho Nipomo Deli & BBQ as the joint that we would experience Santa Maria BBQ. Tri-tip BBQ is the preferred meat choice, but Rancho Nipomo's version was okay and tasty. I enjoyed their chicken BBQ chicken and their chili beans were extremely memorable. Eating inside the restaurant was a little frustrating, but the customer service from their staff was much appreciated. Rancho Nipomo is located on the 101 freeway specifically off of Exit 175 and on Cuyama Lane. It's a short distance from the exit off of the 101, so this restaurant is a convenient stop if you're pressed for time. There were other BBQ restaurants in Santa Maria, but the other restaurants didn't open until 4pm and we didn't have the luxury of waiting around. Rancho Nipomo is located across from 805 Barbecue Brand restaurant and it's diagonal from Taqueria Los Quates. There is some parking in front of the restaurant, but it's mainly street parking. Rancho Nipomo is a spacious restaurant with plenty of indoor seating and there's plenty of covered umbrella outdoor seating. We ate inside and had to battle disruptive flies, so I recommend you eat outside. I recommend that management keep their doors closed to keep these pests out. There are large screen televisions to watch sports and there was a stage where bands play music on certain days. I liked the decor inside with a mural of Mexican cowboys, the California Republic homage above the tvs, the faux Gold Rush saloon as the backdrop of the stage, the Indian statues, and the decorative old school chandelier. The young lady behind the register provided exemplary customer service, other staff I interacted with were friendly, and I love that they honor Veterans like me with a free fountain drink. Besides Santa Maria-style BBQ, Rancho Nipomo serves Mexican food that incorporates BBQ; it serves burgers, sandwiches, and hot dogs; it serves munchies; it serves salads, and you can satisfy your sweet tooth with their desserts. I honestly did not know the city of Santa Maria had their own style of BBQ, so I was really looking forward to tasting what that style of BBQ tastes like. After perusing their menu, I decided to order their Central Coast Smokin' Combo because it had two different types of meats. This combo comes with a 1/4 BBQ Chicken, 1/2 lb Smoked Tri-Tip, Spanish Rice, West Coast Chili Beans, and two flour tortillas. It was a good amount of food because I had part of my chicken and tri-tip as leftovers, which was a yummy late night snack on our trip. I was looking forward to eating the tri-tip, but even though it ate well with the tortillas, I thought it was dry and underwhelming. The highlights for me were the chicken, the chili beans, and the rice. The chicken was cooked perfectly, it was tender, seasoned really well, and it tasted great by itself or in a tortilla. The chili beans were mind blowing, savory, addicting, and I wished there was more. Combining either BBQ meat with the chili beans and rice inside a tortilla made for a delectable bite. Make sure to grab all of their complimentary salsas to add some spice to your BBQ. My wife ordered The Cali Cheese Steak Sandwich, which comes with smoked tri-tip ends, Monterey Jack cheese, bell peppers, and grilled onion all encompassed in a fresh toasted Telera bun. Sincerely, one of the best cheese steak sandwiches I've ever eaten and I didn't eat it until I had it as a late night snack. We also ordered their fries, which were seasoned and delicious. Rancho Nipomo Deli & BBQ is a must visit if you want to indulge in Santa Maria-style BBQ. Their tri-tip was okay, but I highly recommend their BBQ chicken and their West Coast chili beans. If you're planning to order a sandwich, a Must Order is their Cali Cheese Steak sandwich.

Literally it took 15 minutes for them to order one hotdog to share. But what the most upsetting was as I was waiting behind them he's talking to the owner about the business, then the owner asked them what are their plans for today, blah blah blah, and I'm waiting patiently to order my one hotdog. Literally took almost 30 minutes from the time that I got there and and only one couple in front of me. If you don't mind waiting 30 minutes for one hotdog and it's not even busy, this is a place to be. I'd rather go to Costco for only $1.50 and receive instant gratification, and that comes with a bottomless fountain drink. Oh, and they're never consistent with their hours of operation.

Ok, let me preface this by saying this review is *strictly for the pizza*. I have not had any of…read moretheir sandwiches, hot dogs, or anything else. I was browsing their menu when I saw "Chicago Tavern Style Pizza". Now, I've been to Chicago, but when I was there I didn't get to try this "tavern style". I tried the deep dish like a dumb tourist, but I always heard that the locals there were all about this "tavern style". So I thought that I'll finally get to check a box off my list. Also, the picture of it on their menu looked pretty good! I ordered it online, and went to go pick it up. I arrive, and the guy behind the counter tells me 5 more minutes. No problem at all there. I see they have italian ice. I order a kids size italian ice (Cherry/Pineapple flavor..it was fine) to eat while I wait. The pizza comes out, and the box feels hot in my hand. I'm stoked to get this baby home and eat till I'm ready to pass out. When I get in the car, I can't help but take a peek at this beauti----WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? Nooooooooo. First off all, there's wayyyyyyyyyy too much cheese on this thing. Like, even if you ordered extra cheese (I did not), it would be too much. Secondly there was no pepperoni. I breathe a sigh of relief...I got someone else's pizza. Someone else ordered this monstrosity. Cool. I take the pizza back into the store, and tell the man "Hey, man. I think I got the wrong pizza. I ordered a pepperoni". He smiles and says "The pepperoni is under the cheese!". Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Why would you do that? Now I'm going to be eating a congealed mound of cheese sitting atop a layer of impotent pepperoni. I decide, you know what. I'm gonna give it a chance. Maybe this will blow my mind. I take it home, I eat the little corner piece. Ok..not great, not the worst thing ever. It tastes about frozen pizza quality, which I'm not above. Not worth $20, but I'll just suck it up and eat it. I put some chili flakes on half of it. That always helps, right? I eat one slice...somethings starting to really taste off. I eat another one...ooof this is getting worse, but why? I make it halfway through a third slice before I can't take anymore. What is that taste? Then I realized it's an overpowering amount of oregano. I peel the cheese back from the crust. Guys. I have never seen that much oregano in one place in my life. Not even in my oregano shaker. At that point, I decide I have to chuck this thing in the trash. My advice to anyone out there: Maybe Stefono's hot dogs and sandwiches are good. I have no idea. But do NOT, under any circumstance, order what they're calling a pizza. My words of advice to Stefono's: Watch a Youtube video on how to properly assemble a pizza, or refrain from serving pizza altogether. If you keep serving these oreganobombs, it's only gonna lead to trouble
