    The food is great! Perfect for catering large gatherings and my go-to for a quick bite for lunch.

    First off let's talk customer service 10/10!!…read more Second the food...... Hands down the best bbq in the IE!! I don't think you can prove me wrong (go ahead try!). The ribs, delicious brisket!! Mac and cream corn was seasoned perfectly to my liking AND I did not have to drive to LA. If you can't tell I'm coming back , bringing friends and looking forward to trying more items on the menu. If you on the fence stop you found it.

    We stopped by Haven City for a quick dinner and were really excited to finally try Henry's BBQ…read moresince we'd never been before. My husband ordered the brisket with potato salad and creamed corn, along with a side of the jalapeño cheddar sausage. He took a couple bites of the brisket and immediately said it tasted like straight propane and was basically inedible. I tried it myself thinking maybe he was exaggerating, but unfortunately I completely agreed. There was a really strong propane/burnt taste to it. I went up to the cashier just to give her a heads up so they could double check what was going on with the brisket. She was actually very kind and offered us a full refund for the plate, which we really appreciated. We had no issues with the sausage. Unfortunately, not long after we got home, we both started feeling sick. My husband was throwing up throughout the night, and I had pretty bad stomach pains. Obviously I can't say for certain what caused it, but the timing was definitely concerning. That said, I do want to give them credit for how they handled the situation. The cashier was very nice and made things right without any hassle. Staff were all very friendly. Hopefully this was just a one off because we'd still like to give them another try and hopefully have a much better experience next time.

    Horrible experience. Three of us ordered the tri-tip and baby back rib combo, while one person…read moreordered the 9 oz. tri-tip plate--his favorite. While taking our order, Karina read his meal back as beef brisket. I immediately corrected her and clearly said, "No, the 9 oz. tri-tip." When the food arrived, his tri-tip was completely well-done. I have pictures. Karina offered to have the kitchen remake it and assured us it would take no more than 15 minutes. We shared portions of our meals with him while he waited. Thirty minutes later, we were told it would take even longer. By then, everyone else had finished eating, so we canceled the replacement and specifically asked that his original $32.99 meal be removed from the bill. Another 15 minutes later, the manager brought out the replacement meal and claimed he had "taken care of it" on the bill. We trusted him and paid--only to discover that instead of removing the original $32.99 meal, they added another $24.99 charge and then waived that new charge. So after making us wait nearly an hour for a meal we had already canceled, the manager made it appear as though he had compensated us by adding and removing a charge that never should have been there in the first place. The original $32.99 meal remained on our bill. That is not "taking care of it." We clearly asked for the incorrectly prepared tri-tip to be removed after the promised 15-minute remake turned into nearly an hour. This was poor service, terrible communication, and an extremely misleading way to handle the bill. Especially for our teenage son who loves this place. Most kids wouldn't know how it's supposed to look but this is the only thing he eats here. Never again Lucille's in Rancho.

    We had a pretty concerning experience at U-Grill Korean BBQ tonight. While we were eating, my…read moreboyfriend kept saying his foot was slipping, but we didn't think much of it. When we were getting ready to leave, we noticed grease coming from underneath the BBQ grill and all over the floor. It had gotten all over my son's shoes and my boyfriend's shoes. We told the manager, and he said he didn't see anything. The restaurant is really dark, and honestly, he didn't really inspect it. I had to pull out my phone and use the flashlight just so we could actually see the grease underneath the grill. He told us they recently changed management and that he had nothing to do with the previous management. When we asked what they could do, the only options were $40 off the bill or we could send them the bill for getting the shoes professionally cleaned. At that point, we just took the $40 off and left. We didn't want to have to keep going back and forth with them, especially when the manager wasn't even willing to properly look underneath the grill. I'm not looking for anything from the restaurant at this point. I just felt this was something that needed to be reported, so I submitted a complaint to Environmental Health. Hopefully they can inspect the equipment and make sure this isn't happening to other customers.
