My work schedule and their pick up schedule doesn't always line up, for me. When the stars align and I'm able to pick it up, I always order. Order online on Wednesday pick up on a set weekend time and day. Pick up is quick and the food is always piping hot. The chicken wings were lightly smoked with this wonderful hoisin, garlicky, sticky sauce. The wings were so good. The rack of ribs were huge, with a beautiful bark. The brisket is always a crowd favorite. Some slices are the fatty side, other slices from the lean side. It's a perfect combination. The pulled pork is smoky and salty in the best way possible. The provided mustard bbq sauce always goes so well with the pulled pork. What dawned on me was the quality of the meats. Not a lot of excessive fat on any of the meats. The pork belly burnt ends are to die for. A smoky sweet glaze over this perfect bite size chunks of pork belly burnt ends. The Mac and cheese, potato salad, baked beans and coleslaw are all flavorful on their own. I applaud a chef who spends just as much time on the sides as the mains. It makes for a perfect meal. Almost forgot about the house made pickles, they provide a nice reset to all the richness of the meal. Thank you chef Logan and the whole crew for a perfect meal. read more

Have I really not reviewed this place? No way! I am an OG supporter of Zef BBQ since the covid days of driving up in a car to get the goods. And it's always been good! Can BBQ in Simi Valley be THAT good? Well, yes BECAUSE we are talking 'bout a good dude (and family) with an open mind and kind heart that brings that to his food. In what ways? Let's give an example - by taking chances with flavor - in the case of the past weekend for ISLAND OF ZEF. Like c'mon Logan be making loco moco AND bahn mi with island vibes and that 'cue smoke! And he's doing it out of a small as* kitchen with just a few staff, churning these orders out for the people. This is home-cooked value. This is local love and support for a business that gives back to its community. So what tips do I got? 1) Burnt ends hit all the time 2) Nanner pudding even better after you freeze it 3) Order early and chill in line - yep it can take a minute but good things come to those who wait 4) This dude SEASONS the food so don't be surprised 5) Themed weekends are a great way to explore outside of your everyday bbq comfort zone 6) Don't be sad if you don't see "Zef" live and in the flesh. I promise you 99 percent of the time he is back there prepping your shi! 7) Follow him on social media and be entertained (Do I have critiques? I mean nothing is ever perfect but you can directly share with him and he responds. And things continue to get better! I have witnessed the work and the growth and it's been awesome to watch!) @this_camera_eats_first read more

Customer service not good and Overpriced for what u get. The main guy with a man bun is sarcastic and kind of rude. I tried this business at their Benny Boy brewery pop up. Once I got to the front of the line he asked me to wait to order (guessing because they seemed like they had a lot of pending orders before me) which was fine. I noticed he was very obviously just killing time walking around aimlessly instead of helping the food preparers catch up which was the 1st little thing I noticed but tried not to think much of. Then when he finally got to taking my order, I only ordered the banana pudding and he asked me "oh just that why didn't you say so" like how am I supposed to know why you're making me wait to order?? I brushed it off and then decided to add on the bacon wrapped chicken "lollipop" thing to snack on for my order. He then asked me if I wanted the pudding now or when the rest of my order was ready. I said I can take it either way and joked about hoping I wouldn't forget the pudding when I came back to pick up my chicken order when he then said it was up to me because it's "not his responsibility" to remember. So it's not your responsibility to keep track of the customer's order before serving? Especially because they note the orders on physical paper tickets for the cooks. I've never heard of such a thing. It's kind of like when u order a drink at a restaurant and they ask if u want it now or with your food like are u not gonna give me what I ordered if I don't remind you? Mind you he's also very perky and talks with a smile so that he doesn't come off aggressive but he's actually passive aggressive and a little rude. Lastly, the banana pudding was just ok. It came in a deli container but tasted more like cheesecake in a tub which tasted good but not like banana pudding. The only banana flavor i got came from the actual pieces of banana which it had very little of and you can tell they were not fresh bananas. The chunks of banana were grey and bitter like they used bananas that were going bad or the premade "pudding" had been stored for a while which for $13 was not worth the price. $9 at best. read more

Zef BBQ is very good. We love the pork belly burnt ends. They are so good. This time we tried the Huli Huli chicken wings which were amazing. The sauce on the wings was delicious. The brisket and tri-tip are always a good choice too. I regret not taking a picture to share but we were just so excited to enjoy the food. Thanks Zef BBQ. read more

ZEF BBQ has captured my heart! Shoutout to my friend Jara S. for putting them on my radar and first introducing me to their food. You know you have a good friend when they share their foodie finds with you. My friend and I had the opportunity to try a Sunday tasting event with ZEF BBQ which was elevated, thoughtful and heartwarming. I really could taste the passion and creativity behind each dish and it left me longing to come back to try more. As much as I appreciated their fine dining tasting menu (truly a luxury and blessing to get to try it) I was even more eager for some of their down home BBQ, I mean, it's what they are known for. I was in luck that not long after the tasting experience with my friend I saw they were dropping an Easter pickup menu. I jumped at the chance to be able to try some of their bbq and sides, especially as I was spending Easter solo and needed something to look forward to. I made the right call because a full ZEFs BBQ feast was the highlight of my holiday weekend. I ordered online and picked a time slot for pickup. The whole process was super seamless and easy to navigate. As soon as I placed my online order and paid, I was issued an email with the details and pickup address / location. Super easy. When the day arrived I made sure to get to the location a few minutes early and got in line. Yes, there was a line (it's that good). I didn't wait too long before I was finally called in to grab my order. I truly adore the staff here. While my interactions with them have been short, they are just so nice. Fun guys and gals who are passionate about what they do and their craft but they are also super appreciating, gracious, and just nice people. Truly it's made me want to support them even more. I admire Chef Logan, Ana, and the crew for the way in which they give back to the community and what they stand for, it's really beautiful to see the kind of vibes they bring to the 805. Okay enough of me being Mushy. As much as I love good people and righteous vibes, the food has to hit the mark and it 1000%%% does at ZEF BBQ. Their brisket is melt in your mouth tender. I love that they don't shy away from some good fat and salt. Their brisket is really cooked just how I like it and it's scary how much of it I can eat in one sitting lol. Their bbq sauce is also super tasty and I saved some for my own future dishes. Good stuff. For sides I tried the Mac and cheese and my friend highly recommend I try Ana's famous banana pudding. I don't have much of a sweet tooth but this pudding was heavenly and literally the BEST banana pudding I've ever had. I was so passionate about how good it was I saved some for my family (a three hour drive on ice to them) and they've already devoured it all. Need I say more?! ZEF BBQ is really something spectacular and worth the drive if you're on the other side of the 805 or even coming from LA. If you have a chance to come to one of their special events or pop ups definitely just do it. The food is delicious and the vibes are just as good, grateful we have this spot locally and I'll be a repeat customer. read more

I was in the middle of an argument with my boss and was close to quitting and resetting my life overseas, then I had lunch at Zef's BBQ. Somewhere between the first bite and the sauce drip on my shirt, life started making sense again. Bills? Manageable. Coworkers? Tolerable I don't know what they put in that food, but I'm emotionally stable now. 10/10 would delay my life crisis again. read more

We felt ripped off- were we SCAMMED? Yeesh...and I used to own a successful food truck- Drove across town for a Friday the 13th special- and what a horror show for our wallet ( and sodium levels ) !! We saw a post online offering a two meat/two sides special for $40- And you can see the menu vid posted outside their door in my photo-We decided to add a cheesesteak ($17) as we wanted to sample some things and have leftovers for dinner- The horror: $73- My math said $57 plus tax- Ain't NO way we have $15 in taxes- So I ask - How do these three items equal the 73? He says there is a $3 up charge per Tri tip - we both ordered it- so that's $6 With tax, it should be like $61.43... They don't give you an itemized bill- they just tell you a number - No cash receipt- I think it was last year we voted in A new law in CA aimed at banning "junk fees" making restaurant surcharges illegal. Under SB-478, restaurants will no longer be able to charge BS service fees- Then we open our meals to discover the super small portions of tri tip- And the world's tiniest cheesesteak- Mac and cheese had no flavor- The slaw was super wet, but tasted like it came outta one of those tubs from the supermarket- Oh- and thanks for the item bitsy tiny shot glass of BBQ sauce- read more

I'm done with this place. Superbowl Sunday was my last experience with this failed experiment in hyped exclusivity. These guys have jumped on the "secret drop" theory----create demand by implyinng value by way of intentional scarcity. The first time I went it was from their garage. It was decent enough, not great but it Covid and I was glad to help people stay on their feet financially. I had some ribs. Pretty good, but it's pork - pork is easy to cook. The second time i ordered the brisket. I got home, opened the foil and it was --not exaggerating---80% jiggling fat. Yes, brisket is fatty. I know. But this was straight robbery. It was literally a fire hazard it was so greasy. Third time was this most recent Superbowl Sunday. The standard ZeF hype " you better order soon , because we're so awesome and sell out" Sell Out is right. They sold out to mediocrity.... and worse. The pic attached is the last attempt. Look at it. Grey, dry, dead for hours overcooked brisket. This sh-t is expensive. But here's the worst part. These people live and work in Simi Valley. Simi is known for having a lot of law enforcement living here, including Federal agents. They are one of the reasons Simi is generally safer than many communities nearby. Zef had the utter gall to post a sign on their front window --a sign that reads: " ALL ARE WELCOME EXCEPT ---ICE AGENTS ". Hey ZEF, read the room, this isn't East LA. And a lot of cops probably have bought your bbq. Yes, you have the right to state your opinion on politics. And we have the right to object and take our business elsewhere. Considering that your product is inconsistent, overpriced, and of dubious quality, your public political statements just make it even easier to go to Cork and Batter down the street. Trust me, bad news travels fast in this town. read more

If you pre-order, pre-pay a service fee, have a selected time slot for pick up, have to wait in line, wait another 30 minutes to get to the counter, then get pressured to tip, then wait another 20-30 minutes for your cold food to get to you, this is your dream come true. The food is great but their business practices are not. My belly says, "YES!! But my wallet and sensibilities say, "Hell, NO! Don't go." Ps. They literally, weigh their food, stingy.... They will take tips in the form of beer, whatever, trust funds, lol. read more

So today was the first time (and last) time that I ate at Zef BBQ. The first time I tried to eat there they were out of almost everything so I left. I should have taken that as a sign but I digress. Unfortunately I went back and got some food, and boy, what a mistake that was. I ordered a two meat combo with Tri Tip and Burnt ends. All I could taste was salt. My side of coleslaw was "meh" at best, but I did like the fries. I also got a Philly cheesesteak that was pretty decent -but was about six inches long and cost Seventeen dollars. Yes that's right: Seventeen American dollars. This place is way too expensive for the garbage you get. There is so much hype about this place, but I really don't know why. This place isn't even in the top 100 BBQ joints I've been to. Do yourself a favor and skip it. You'll be glad you did. read more

We always love the weekend menus (brisket wins everything!) but we recently went to our second Bougie Boi specialty dinner and it was so great. Communal seating lets you talk all about the food together which is fun to hear other input. The food was amazing, it's all a tasting menu and it's very filling, 8 courses and you finish them all. It's a great date night activity for the foodies and it's so cool to see the bougie side of Zef - they're not just BBQ. Love these guys and I love supporting small business. Check out Bougie Boi - just don't take my tickets! read more

Run! Customer service? Non existent. These guys set up a tent at Apricot Lane Farms and it seemed like it was their first day running any sort of food service, or interacting with another human being. They waited until THE MOMENT they ran out of food to tell a line of over 50 people who had been waiting well over an hour that they weren't going to be able to serve them. I wonder- did they know how much food they brought? Did they think to compare that to the number of people in line BEFORE it became an issue? Is counting a skill these guys have? (Spoiler alert: no). Also, of the 5 or so guys working the tent, only one seemed to actually be preparing food. The others were standing around helplessly, talking about who knows what, instead of... putting food on plates and serving people. Maybe your service was so slow because NO ONE WAS ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING. I did hear an occasional "Yes Chef!" followed by a panicked look, sweat drip down a brow, and a bewildered guy fumbling around for a plate and a serving spoon. Literally laughable. Why were you there What do you think working at a restaurant involves?!? You have to assemble. plates. and. serve. the. food. Also, if you're going to set up at a family event, you should cover the f-word stickers you have on your checkout. Never again! Don't waste your time waiting in line. read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and it was well worth the wait! First off, this place is more like a pop up kitchen. They're reservation only on Saturdays (via Tock), and walk ins on Sundays. I highly recommend that you show up early to your reservation, as they do their best to honor reservation times & keep the food as fresh as possible by packing it once they know you're there to pick it up. Food wise, Chef Logan Sandoval is a pit master! I love that he incorporates Asian/Pacific islander flavors into his dishes. I tried a little of everything this visit. My favorite dish was the burnt ends. Perfectly cooked and lacquered with a sweet sauce. The Banh mi was also great - good portion of meat paired with traditional pickled & fresh veggies. Spare ribs and brisket were extremely tender. They were literally falling apart as I was trying to pick them up off the plate!! The homemade spam musubi is a must even if you don't like spam! I'm sure Chef Logan's version will convince you otherwise. Service was great, even though they were a little short that day. Staff was constantly giving updates, and honoring orders by reservation time. Of note, they only fill one order at a time. So there's usually a line, but it goes by pretty quickly. Ambiance is a good vibe, and the people waiting in line are there for great BBQ and/or supporters of Chef Logan. No seating inside, but there a few tables nearby if you can't wait to dig in (which is what I did). Can't wait to come back and looking forward to trying other dishes!! read more

Best bbq I've ever had. Hands down. I'm Argentinian and I miss a good asado but today I'm less homesick after having some of this kick ass food. God damn, those ribs are to die for. Thank you. All the sides, the banana pudding, are you kidding me? We ordered food for 6 people and I think they misunderstood and made food for 16 people because Jesus, there's so much food. The pulled pork, the brisket, the ribs, the beans, coleslaw, potato salad...just incredible. The sauces!! Did I mention the sauces??? They're delicious but we forgot to put them on the meat because it's so well seasoned it doesn't need anything else. Happily coming back to this place. Like tomorrow if it's possible, lol. I'm serious. Bless your business and customer service!!! We're so happy to have you in Simi!! read more

A million chefs kisses! Amazing and delicious as always! Gotta try their pickles, i can't get enough. Meats so tender n juicy. Mac n potato salad mouth watering. Don't forget the banana pudding!

We got the pleasure of having some ZEF at Apricot Lane Farms' 1st and last Family Friday event this year (In July and October). We had such an awesome evening both times and a huge highlight was of course the food. We were excited to visit the farm but throw in some BBQ and we're there or square. The menu at this months pop-up had an insanely delicious asian flair to it and I have been dreaming about the noodle dish they made. I'm someone who almost always panic orders at the last minute and gets order envy but MAN did I do it right this time. I got the large portion of the pork noodles and a banana pudding and they were insane. My boyfriend (who grew up in Kansas City MO and knows good BBQ) got the burger and then we all shared a BBQ Plate with pulled pork, fried rice and slaw, and it was SO damn good. I wanted to literally cannonball into the banana pudding with my mouth wide open. The staff were super nice and even though there was a bit of a wait, they had the process dialed in. Honestly, they had it dialed even better than the first time we came out to the farm in July. We live in Weho in LA, so not sure when the next time will be that we get to eat ZEF, but honestly we may be taking a trip out to Simi just for them. It's also got my wheels spinning on what possible occasion I might be able to hire them for catering. 10 out of 10 recommend read more

Every single thing is excellent. There is literally nothing they can do wrong. If I could eat ZEF BBQ every single second of every single day, I would. If God and Buddha were hanging out in their big cloudy backyard, even THEY could not make better BBQ if they tried. I also heard the owner is a good looking dude too you gotta go see it to believe it how good looking that dude is ! read more

Zef is truly next level! I can't recommend it enough. In addition to amazing weekend lunches, we just used them for a huge catering order and they knocked it out of the park! Super responsive and made our special day even better. Logan and team are the best!! read more

Did a pickup order this weekend. Everything went smooth, I had to wait a few minutes in line but nothing major - they are providing great customer service to each customer and not just wham bam here is your order get out Show up when you are supposed to and things go smoothly - they have a good system I absolutely love the pastrami and pickles. I got extra this time so I could enjoy it for a few meals - it reheats well. Tip - get some extra sauce - I love the gold sauce and use it to kick up Boeing meals . Combined the sauce with a boring rotisserie chicken and made it something tasty. Not quite as good as the Zef chicken but I had to work with what I had For people complaining about pricing - food costs are up and doing this type of food is labor intensive. I don't want to try to do this myself so I sm glad someone has perfected it read more

Everything about ZEF BBQ is amazing! I took a group of neighbors to one of his last events. They all loved it so much that you may have a hard time getting a reservation now lol! The entire team has good energy and the food is fantastic! Do not miss out! I am now a regular! read more

The wife and I pre-ordered a handful of items for an 11/2/24 Saturday pick up. For us, there were three stand-out items. One, the shrimp tacos... amazing! Shrimp was perfectly cooked. Their house crema and pickled onions were the perfect accompaniments. Two, the Chicken Sammy... absolutely bomb, crunchy on the outside, soft and juicy in the inside. Three, the Pork Belly Burnt Ends... absolute ! I'm all about that sweet and savory seasoning! It's a must have item. Bonus item, don't skip out on the Anna Bananas Nanner Pudding, whippy, custardy, and crunchy, altogether was delicious! Bravo Chef!!! @koenigkitchen read more

There's barbecue... and then there's life-altering, soul-hugging barbecue. I found it at Khuner, Simi Valley and I knew I was in for something different. I went classic: brisket, ribs, a slab of cornbread, and a side of slaw. The brisket? Meltingly tender with a perfect bark--like it had been slow-dancing in the smoker all night. The ribs didn't need encouragement. They practically fell into my lap, thick with a sauce that whispered secrets between the tang and spice. Even the slaw had swagger, Just like Chef Logan! If barbecue's your love language, this spot speaks it fluently. frankieflave read more

I've been following Zef BBQ on instagram for a while, but we finally got to try them. I looked for the menu on wednesday and pre-ordered and paid for our meal to pick up on Saturday. 5/5 - Charro Beans: Excellent! Great flavor. 3/5 - Brisket: This was the important one for us. You cannot select lean or moist, but you get a mix. Sold by the 1/2 pound. The lean meat was dry. The moist was a little better, but there was very little in the pound that we purchased. Unfortunately, this will kill future orders for us. 3/5 - Tri Tip: Great seasoning... but tough meat. 3/5 - Island Mac Salad: This was NOT a mac salad... it was mac'n'cheese. I don't know if it was a mistake. As a mac'n'cheese, it was pretty good, but I was expecting a mac salad. Another disappointment. I know that the menu changes weekly, but I am reluctant to try again because the meats just weren't good enough. So disappointed. read more

The barbecue looked fire...while waiting in line for an hour at the Apricot Lane Farms family night. Didn't get to try it because as the line slowly moved, they continuously ran out of items. I was confused as to how the line could move at such a snails pace but when I got towards the front of the line I watched 5 or 6 bumbling fools standing around, using a lot of chefs lingo like they where in an episode of The Bear while dragging their feet preparing food. At one point the gave someone's order to the wrong person and then when they realized it one of the employees ran of to go hunt down the person they gave it to. These kids need the guy from Bar Rescue to come and yell at them and teach them how to have an efficient process. Im sure the food tastes good but who cares if you can't get it without pulling your hair out. read more

Amazing food. Love the garlic shrimp. Need to try this place best around Simi. Burgers are amazing.

BURNT ENDS BURNT ENDS BURNT ENDS!! Hard to make hard to find. Theirs are perfection. Melt in your mouth crispy Smokey tasty bark! By far my favorite! They have an ever changing menu and u have to reserve a plate and time slot! No seating but that's ok!!! I believe it's a bunch of mad bbq scientists friends who chose bbq over evil deeds! I also had ribs and brisket that were outstanding as well but if burnt ends are on the menu get them!! Service was excellent guy at the counter was friendly and talkative which I enjoy when I'm 80 bucks on bbq ( My names Mike I have a problem). So glad I found these guys! Must Try if your within a 90 minute drive! read more

Today (Feb. 24, 2024) I picked up a few items for our late lunch. Boy were we pleased! As I type this we have been picking away at two of the items we got. Zef's tri-tip has got to be the best ever.....anywhere, anytime. The cut of meat is super tender, cooked to perfection and seasoned superbly. I defy anyone to show me better tri-tip. I have eaten this cut of meat hundreds of times all up and down the west coast, Pop-ups, catering trucks, BBQ specialty houses, you name it. No place does this like Zef's !! Burnt ends. This favorite can't get any better. Super tasty, soft and silky in the mouth. I only now wish I had ordered two orders rather than one. The real good thing is they are just around the corner from my house. The real bad thing is they are only open on the weekends. Maybe that's a good thing too. Otherwise you'd find me here multiple times a week and walking out with a silly grin of sublime happiness in my mug! If you have yet to try this.....if you are wondering if it's worth the try.....feel very safe and join the folks that have dined here. Oh.....and I have to still get to my meatball sando and those lovely vanilla creme cannoli! read more

The long lines, the spontaneous menus, all of it, is part of the experience. Zef customers rock. Cheers to the chefs! read more

Incredible food! We love the weekly menu options, but are huge fans of the traditional fare: brisket, pastrami and nana pudding. Just tried the chicken wings and they were seasoned perfectly. The buffalo sauce was served on the side and they gave the wings a distinct flavor. We've ordered this food to bring to dinner parties and it is always a hit. ZEF never disappoints! read more

My own personal Two Very Important Considerations when offering a food and/or restaurant review: (1) Delicious Food !!! (2) The Delicious Food is always delicious, time after time after time !!! Here in Simi Valley, ZEF has consistently provided Delicious Food !! The flavors and flavorings that my palate tastes are unique, there is no one else around SoCal (that I know of) that provides such superbly excellent menu items. And when I say "time after time" ....... I got very lucky 5 years ago, when ZEF first opened, to get in line and give it a try. Since then, I've been a very regular and very very happy customer. Never Ever Disappointed !! I'll certainly be going back, again and again and again. And because I live in Simi Valley, I'm a very short drive to ZEF's place. Can't be much luckier than that, to live so close to some of The Best Food in SoCal !! read more

Consistent and savory flavors! I look forward every Wednesday to getting the menu reveal, a couple of my favorite items are the tri trip, spam musubi, ramen, garlic shrimp and brisket. For desserts the Nanner pudding and cannolis are amazing. What adds to the mystery is that it's not a store front, they have a weekly rotating menu, so you never know what's next unless you're on the mailing list or IG. Then you pick up the food at the time you select on the app, they cook it fresh and you taste the love in every bite! They also do so much for the community and have kindly given their time and talent to those affected by natural disasters such as the Maui fires and more recently, the Palisades fires. I love the integrity of this family business and appreciate the hard work and dedication put into every bite. I would have pics of the food but I always scarf it down! I beg you to just try it once, you won't regret it! read more

Been here many times and this soupacalypse was a new one. My wife has never been a fan of curry but the one we tried this weekend was a game changer.

Simi Valley isn't known for its food but, this place might be a very welcomed exception. This BBQ is absolutely excellent and definitely lives up to the reviews.

Will definitely be the first stop next time I'm in Simi Valley! read more

Everything I said before still stands. Wanted to add that this weekend, we had the Duck Congee and Pork Katsu Sandwich. Both of these were amazing. My daughter especially liked the Duck Congee. She said it reminded her of what she used to get in China. As for the Pork Katsu sandwich, Zef BBQ took something so simple and made it taste like perfection. The pork was a thick cutlet that was so tender and flavorful. The simple accompaniment of the cabbage and mayo added to the overall deliciousness. Listen....to all of the complainers, they give you all of the necessary information up front -- no substitutions and line up early on days when they are not doing preorders to be sure and get the food you want. They don't have to go out of their way to make you happy. Just enjoy the food and stop complaining. We will definitely continue to support this local Simi business. As I stated before, Simi is lacking in the good food department, so this is someplace we want to stick around. read more

Chef Logan is such a gem. And his support team is just awesome- they all work so hard to give you a true culinary experience. Went to the bougie boi III dinner the other night. Eight small courses of deliciousness. So many unique flavors and tastes! Wow! Can't wait for the next one!!!!! read more
