I'm not usually a fan of BBQ but this place is a 10/10. My boyfriend and I tried the tri-tip sandwich and most places I have tried usually have dry meat but their tri-tip was cooked perfectly and it was moist and juicy! Not to mention their BBQ sauce is delicious! Also tried the baked beans and they were tasty as well! The customer service was amazing, very friendly people who seem to actually want to have a conversation! If you haven't tried this place yet.... Then what are you waiting for ?!?! Will definitely be coming again ! read more

Overall: We would be back here if we're out in this area. I hesitated to try this place because of the mixed review I saw. I tried it anyway. It's very much a hole in a wall kind of place, but I enjoyed their offerings. I had 3 meat combo with tri-tip, pork ribs, and beef ribs. Side of beans and potato salad. If you have the vision of sauce soaked sweetmeat, I don't think this place is it for you. If you think more like "seasoned slow cook meat", this is it. The meat I got was a very good portion, seasoning is simple but tasty, and the meat was definitely tender. (I recently experienced this famous place for meat serving inedible BBQ, so I was a bit traumatized) As I said, if you go in with the notion of heavy rub based or heavy sauce-based BBQ, this place is not that. They will give you a BBQ sauce, it's just that the meat is not smothered in the sauce from the get-go. I think the overall quality of meat and how it's cooked is good. We enjoyed it, and we will be back again! read more

I came across this place almost accidentally on the way home from a camping trip. We were on our way home to Santa Clarita and knew we were too hungry to wait until we go there, and decided to stop. It has since become one of our favorite places to stop and grab lunch to take out to Ventura and eat on the beach. I realized when we stopped this weekend that I've never posted a review. Everything is good, but I could seriously just order the bread and be happy. They're always super friendly and the food is consistently good. read more

Drive to Santa Paula and get Best BBQ. This place is a joke. If you need to stay in town go ahead and grab meat from Vons and cook yourself.

Not a fancy place but the speedy service and food was very good. Got the tri-tip sandwich. Quality meat. Excellent sandwich bread and really liked their spicy meat sauce. read more

Best bbq in town hands down. So if you have a hankering for some authentic bbq most in down to the BBQ place and order up a tri tip combo!!

Hands Down the Bomb!! My wife and I drive from ventura to eat hear all the time. The try tip is amazing especially the sandwich and their hot sauces are unbelievably tasty make sure you dip your chips in the barbecue sauce. read more

Really good tri-tip sandwich with super yummy warm bbq sauce & homemade chips! Really nice people working here. Would have given them 5 stars but there wasn't a bathroom. Still really good bbq will be back when we are in the area. read more

When driving the 126, I ALWAYS come to The BBQ Place. I never miss it. Each time I've been there, they've amazed me with how fantastic a simple plate of BBQ can be. I typically get the tri-tip as it is always a safe bet for a juicy and well-seasoned meal. I recently ordered a tri-tip burrito and let me tell you... it was the best burrito I've ever had. The first bite having the perfect amount of onions, peppers, melted cheese, juicy tri-tip, and bbq sauce blew me away. I immediately knew that it was the best burrito I've ever had. The staff was friendly and warm which added to the overall enjoyability of the meal. I highly highly highly recommend this place! read more

I have gotten take out here several times. I always get the Tri-tip sandwich. The best anywhere around. Prices are reasonable. Whenever I'm in Fillmore I stop here. read more

Ordered the tri tip sandwich. It came with some nice slabs of tri tip on a roll and bbq sauce was delicious. Wish it came with a side or was a couple dollars cheaper. read more

One of my favorite BBQ joints. I ordered the Tri Tip Dinner and it comes with a Garlic Bread, Chili Beans, BBQ Sauce and two small sides of Macaroni Salad and Potato Salad. Everything was delicious and great. Fast friendly service and Good parking. read more

Great BBQ and great service. Love the BBQ sauce. Ribs and Tri Tip for me. Chicken is awesome also.

We've been satisfied with this bbq for the past four times. Reminds us of Just BBq in Ventura. Two thumbs up!

Hole-in-the-wall location with a father-son duo behind the counter. I got a three-meat combo with pork ribs, chicken and tri-tip. Everything comes dry, which I know my father appreciates, but the sauce is sufficient to cover everything and really good. I got both spicy and sweet sauce, both were great, and subbed baked beans for the potato salads they offer as sides, no problems or attitude. The baked beans were better than the chili, imo, which was just beans and the only disappointment, from my perspective. I might give four-stars in a more competitive market, but no complaints in a small down is more than worthy of five. read more

Deeeelish! This place is great! Wonderful food, wonderful family. Tri tip sandwich is moist, cooked perfectly on the best garlic bread! A secret bbq sauce recipe that is like no other! Definitely a twist on an original sauce. It's a one of a kind flavor that cannot be described or duplicated! Baked beans are yummo! Pleasant service and I gladly drive from Ventura to Fillmore to support them. read more

I'm not a religious person, but My God this place sucks. Meat was way overcooked, the sides you get are tiny, and it just simply costs too much for what you get. read more

This restaurant has been a welcome addition to Fillmore. The BBQ Place is serving up: tri-tip, chicken, beef ribs, pork ribs and hot links. All of the meat has great flavor and is cooked well. They serve your typical sides: potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw and baked beans. Each of them are pretty standard, with nothing really standing out. The garlic toast though is buttery and delicious. The service can be pretty slow, but the prices are reasonable and the food good, so it's definitely worth the wait. read more

Worst bbq place I have ever eaten . There ribs are dry with no seasoning ! The baked beans are watered down . They should choose another career seriously read more

Wanted to get out of house so drove into Fillmore to hit fruit stands. Wanted to try this place so came by. I understand they were take out because of the flu virus but little did I expect that they wouldn't have any outdoor seating offered! They have tables available so why not put one or two outside like other take out and dine in places? I guess they dont need business that badly. I decided to drive away...don't come this way to eat in my car.‍ read more

Well the service was friendly and the food just okay . They nickel and dime you here . I would not return

Pretty good food! I had the tri-tip meal with potato salad and mild sauce and it was perfect. I make it a point to stop by here whenever I pass through town. read more

The tri tip sandwich with spicy bbq sauce is top notch ! Their sides are great ! I always love to grab a hot link and extra bread so I can get it all I would recommend to anyone read more

In Ventura co. every town has its place that famous for Tri Tip . They are all good and it's a high bar that everyone sets. In Fillmore it's definitely The BBQ Place. It's my personal favorite in the County. read more

Authentic Santa Maria Tri Tip.!!! I just got a tri tip sandwich to eat in the car. But it doesn't get any better than this. Loss of thinly sliced, perfectly grilled meat on toasted French bread with a light flavorful sauce on the side. I was so pleased that I turned around, went back and got more to bring home to the family. I'll be back again soon. read more

The BBQ place rocks. The Tri-Tip is some of the best anywhere and I've eaten Tri-Tip every where in the United States even Hawaii. Not Alaska though never have been there. The Tri-Tip sandwich is delicious. Toasted roll with a touch of garlic with thick pieces of Tri-Tip that's cooked to perfection. I normally don't like warm BBQ sauce but the BBQ Place's mild sauce is awesome. I haven't tried the spicy BBQ sauce so I not sure how that is but I know it it's probably good. We live in Santa Clarita and go to Ventura on the weekends. We now stop and get sandwiches on our way to Ventura. Once we even got them when we went home. It's only bread, meat and BBQ sauce (on the side) but wow what a sandwich. Thank you guys. read more

The tri-tip is very tender and flavorful. If you don't like a lot of sauce, ask for it on the side. The family that owns the restaurant is very friendly. If you're in Fillmore, this is great place to stop in for BBQ. read more

Ok so it's a family joint so that alone deserves 5 stars. 1) kid behind the counter super friendly! 2) BBQ is great. Pork ribs and tri-tip was good 3) sides are ok 4) would go back to patronize a local family bu read more

Both the beef ribs and tri-tip were dry but decent. The macaroni salad has an odd cucumber taste and was a bit watery. I'd recommend trying a different side. Staff was extremely friendly but make sure you get lots of sauce! read more

This place is awesome. The portions are great, fresh brisket and chicken. They come with small sides (which I didn't really care for) and a slice of garlic bread. The beans were the only good sides I enjoyed, the rest were okay. But the meat is where it's at! They provide awesome barbecue sauce with a great portion. I usually eat enough but had plenty here. Definitely coming here in the future!! read more

Gross!! I called for an order to go, to find out my bread had mold!!!! Don't come unless you want moldy sandwhiches

This place is an absolute let down. The potato salad and macaroni salad is BLAND. The bbq sauce is watery. They keep the bottom membrane on the ribs so you can't even bite all the way through it. If you're looking for real southern bbq, this IS NOT your place. read more

We were driving through Fillmore and stopped for lunch. We looked into the BBQ place. It was no frills, but it smelled good and customers looked happy. We are on a low-carb diet, so we ordered beef ribs a la carte with no sauce. They were tender, flavorful and very yummy. It looked like they had grilled them earlier in the day and took them out of the warming bin and tossed them back on the fire to freshen them up. We were very happy and we will be back. read more

Disappointing. After driving up to see wildflowers, returned through Fillmore looking for a bite. Searched for bbq on Yelp on found BBQ Place. Thought we'd scored. Ordered the 3 meat combo to share: pork ribs for wife, beef robs for me and tri-tip to share. Every thing was overcooked/dry. Sauces provided were good but did not make up for dry meat read more

I need more then 5 stars!! My husband and I ate here about 2 weeks ago and the food was absolutely amazing!! We also loved the fact that this is a family restaurant. We spoke to the son about business and life and we're happy to have become regulars. If you're ever by the bbq place please stop by. The tri tip was cooked perfectly and was delicious on their chili cheese tri tip sandwich. read more

The BBQ Place doesn't look like much from the outside, but wow was the food amazingly, surprisingly, delicious! I found this place by chance on a road trip and decided to give it a try. When I walked in and asked how long the goods would take, the man behind the counter opened the grill to reveal beautifully smoked meat that was ready to cut. I ordered the steak with spicy BBQ sauce. It added a spicy punch to my smoky, mouth-watering steak. The kicker is that a nice portion of steak, a large side of chili beans, and a large side of potato salad was only $9.50. It's been a while since I've been wowed by a new find, but sweet Lord, The BBQ Place did just that! read more

I ordered the chicken breast sandwich for $7. The chicken was thin, dry and covered with a strange sauce masquerading as BBQ sauce, served in thick garlic toast. INEDIBLE. read more
