Bad to the Bone BBQ

I had high hopes for this place based on the reviews, so made a sizable takeout order. But: Rude staff. Old bagged lettuce on the salads. Burgers were nothing special, just a small over cooked patty. The ribs and tri tip were cooked well and had good flavor, but some of the tri tip slices had more fat than meat. My dog liked it. Worst of all, they forgot to give me my cornbread!!

This is my favorite barbecue place west of the Mississippi; actually, I can't think of any good barbecue places east of the Mississippi that I've tried, so this is my favorite anywhere! I hesitate to tell you which entre is best because that changes everytime I try something new there. I haven't had a miss yet. Today I had their crispy potato skins with pulled pork, yum!

Great food and great service! By FAR the best BBQ joint in OC. HIGHLY recommended!

Today I attended a wholesame outdoor event hosted by Bad to the Bone BBQ with real pit BBQ and live classic jams by @Familystyleusa. I loved the outdoor atmosphere and entertainment, and the food rocked! The BBQ Buffet included corn bread, coleslaw, garlic mashed potatoes, baked beans, BBQ chicken, pulled pork and brisket. What a feast! Their BBQ sauce was tangy and spicy and the perfect accent to the meats! To me, the pulled pork was the star of the lunch buffet. It was tender, moist and full of flavor. It was fire with or without the sauce. The brisket was hit and miss. Some slices were moist and delicate while others were on the dry side and needed  the sauce the bring them to life. For me, I would pass on the chicken. It didn't do anything for me. The redeemer was the garlic mash. Ohmygoodness, it was great! Garlicky with a nice mix of potatoe chunks mixed with the mash. The baked beans were tasty too. The all around experience awesome. Delicious food, wholesome entertainment, glorious weather and good vibes all around. Thanx for having me Bad to the Bone BBQ!
