My boyfriend and I were just out cruising around California cause we always like to go drive around and look at new things. It was time for lunch and we were hungry and we saw this barbecue fries it was absolutely amazing is all I can say! The view was great if you wanted to eat outside the atmosphere and the customer service was absolutely wonderful.

Awesome food! Such a surprise to find awesome Bbq down here! Brisket fries were great….not loaded down with a bunch of crappie toppings. They didn’t skimp on the brisket or fries. Corn balls and Mac and cheese were great as well. Service was very good and the view is awesome . If you are near Balboa I highly recommend hitting this place up!

This place was so yummy we decided to stop by again for a second visit on the way to the airport. (We were staying in Anaheim) so it was that good. We were unable to use the online ordering system (glitch with it) or call ahead to order for pickup (no answer, makes sense it’s more of an order in person type of place anyways) and the second visit they only had two people working and seemed understaffed, and longer wait times (was fine with me). Definitely recommend checking your order before leaving for pick up orders because they did get one of our sides wrong.. they have great food though and much better than the corn dogs next door. They didn’t have an option to add extra meat to the Mac and cheese meal without it costing $6 dollars (and the meal is $10) so I wasn’t going to pay $6 for extra meat. Maybe they can add this option.

There are some places that have to be recognized for being exceptional and Balboa BBQ is one of them. Located on the right side of the boardwalk if you park towards Palm st nestles a decent sized restaurant with inside and outside seating. We stopped by at 7pm and they accommodated our order by not only serving hot delicious food, but also explaining to my kids what they were doing as they were watching from the counter. The staff was very friendly and patient and we would definitely go back again.

Great place for a quick bite and a reasonable price in a touristy area. We LOVED the corn balls–piping hot and fresh and delicious! My pulled pork sandwich was also good, there are several BBQ sauces you can add. Although, it seemed more like pulled ham, which was interesting. Not bad, just different. I liked that they toasted the bun! My husband enjoyed his fish and chips and the vinegar to go with it. The fries were deliciously seasoned.

After driving 2 hours, paying $30 for parking I was at least expecting good food. Foe one they did not have any ribs and said we had to wait an hour and a half for some. So we got the brisket. They put a lot of sauce however the meat itself was not tender and juicer at all. I will never go here again.

This place was great! On vacation from Phoenix, had a big party (11 people) that ordered lots of different stuff to share and it all came out quick, hot, and delicious. Favorites were definitely the corn balls, brisket Mac and cheese, the Diablo burger. Very good French fries as well. Nothing fancy, don’t compare the BBQ to other places and you won’t be disappointed. Reasonably priced as well.

Surprised to find such amazing BBQ on a pier. The Texas Sausage was incredible. Pulled pork, and mac & cheese all fantastic. We highly recommend it.

Got the Piggy Mac, the pulled pork was great 9/10, and the sauce was good, but the Mac wasn’t cheesy and they needed to either add more cheese or more pork to fix that. I’d eat here again though.
