Santa Maria BBQ and Catering

Food isn't bad but it isn't great. Definitely not what you think about when you think BBQ. Parking sucks. I'm not even sure how many times we drove by for months and months wanting to try this place but unsure where to park before we decided to finally try and find parking. A little on the pricey side. They do weird things like add kale to coleslaw, which makes for a very weird barbecue experience. I guess there's a coffee shop inside too if you want that. Clean food though owners are cool. They like to hire homeless and addicts and believe that if you come in and you can't afford food they'll give you a free meal, so that's pretty cool. Not sure I'll be back though... ????

Some of the best brisket I have ever had!! Paul was wonderful and really engaging. Beans were good and the Mac and cheese too!! Loved it here and I'll be back for sure!!

Everything here is awesome. I have had, beef ribs, brisket, sausage, pulled pork and the pork ribs. Have not had the chicken yet. So far I have been more than pleased with each meat I have had. Also, the Armageddon fries, let me tell you, Fries, Beans, Mac and Cheese and the meat of your choice..... Somehow, the excellence of the damned fries stand out. It seems that they go full steam on every single thing they make.

It is inexpensive for what you get and if you go there, you will leave happy and full.

This was our first time here. The service was friendly and informative and the food very tasty. I had the brisket and my wife had the pork ribs and burnt ends. Everything had a good smoky flavor and the sauces complemented the meat deliciously. We will definitely be back again.

I came in for the first time with my newborn and wife. From the moment I called to ask when they closed to helping me find their parking lot, this crew was extremely helpful and gracious.

Beyond the great customer service, the food was perfect. The flavors, the way it was cooked. Very tender. I had ribs, wife had brisket and the sauces paired perfectly with these dishes. Their horseradish sauce is fantastic. My wife who normally doesn't like horseradish raved about how good it was.

Paul went out of his way to ask how our experience was and seek out feedback. He was very pleasant and I could tell he cared deeply for customers and the community. I highly recommend this place to anybody seeking a good family environment, great customer service and awesome food. We will be back again to support this establishment. Thank you Paul and the rest of the guys.
