DOMESTIC

This place is so unexpecting and tucked within the industrial parts of La Puente. It's a great spot to just hang out. Maybe because it was during a slow weekday, but we went for dinner on a Tues evening and they only had 1 outdoor patio on the sidewalk. We had our dog so that was our only option. Inside has plenty seating though. We ordered inside with the nice young lady and she was very helpful and even brought out our food to us. She helped pick beers and service was great. Food itself was overall pretty good. My favorite from all that we ordered were the brisket flautas. I wanted to like the bread pudding more, but it needed a little oomph added to it. But the flavor was great. All else kind of was expected bbq food. Brisket was good though. Good spot if you're in the area and want bbq

Excellent BBQ ribs, hamburguers they have a good selection of draft beer. The fries with garlic 😋 🥰 delicious! Excellent service, family owned❤️ which I love and nice to support. I would recomend it!

What an amazing local find! The BBQ was incredible, but the service from Michelle really put it over the top. She was so polite and attentive, making sure we were well taken care of the whole time. If you love a great 'mom and pop' restaurant with a welcoming vibe, you have to check this place out!

Over the top delicious! Truly the best BBQ we’ve had - not just locally but compared to the South as well! The four of us shared a pound of the brisket, pound of the tri-tip, full order of andouille sausage and of jalapeño cheddar sausage, a pint each of bacon mac & cheese and Cajun rice, two cornbreads, banana pudding, and snickerdoodle cake. Perfect amount of food and it couldn’t have been better! Immediate favorite!

Highly recommend it is so good i’m in a food coma right now.😊

A very lively little place. The BBQ's very delicious and the tater tots were very crispy. The beans or chili bowl was solid. The brisket is reason enough to come back. The only gripe was that my friend though his burger slider was a little saltier than he likes. Will definitely come back.

My first time here, coworker recommended this place to me. Food was Delicious and prices were even better. Happy Hour from 5pm till closing. The assortment of beer they have on tap was impressive. I will definitely be back.

Parking is right next to the restaurant! You order at the counter when you walk in. The tri-tip fries: eat it when it comes out! It’s creepy and soft at the same time! Mac and cheese: cheesy and delicious Potato salad: they added more spice to it and I liked it. Chicken: standard, not too crazy about it Pulled pork: I think they can add more sauce on it but it was my favorite! Brisket: It was drier than the other times I’ve come. It’s a hit or miss. Ribs: pretty good! It was juicy and falls right off the bone! Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving American bbq! Pricing is average compared to other places. They have alcohol as well!

Food n service ...Definitely 5 stars If u like smoke flavored a must try... Will be back...

Who would have thought that La Puente would have such good bbq. This place hits all the smoke flavors and was tender to the bone. I got the D plate with pork ribs and upgraded to bbq chicken, cornbread, pork rinds, and a beer to wash it down. You order your food and they drop it off to you where you sit. The service was fast and friendly. The decor was nice too. I live in the South Bay so hopefully they build one close by soon.

This place is worth the visit. If you are looking for great bbq, meat quality, smokiness and a variety of draft beers, you need to stop by. The St. Louis ribs were tender, nicely charred and bbq sauce made for a pleasant bite each time. Orders the bacon Mac n cheese, gooey, cheesy and satisfying. Brisket fries with a variety of salsas, breaks the meat options. Service is amazing, everyone appears to be hustling to ensure you are enjoying your dinner. Small place but glad we made it out in a Friday. We had been wanting to come but they close on Saturdays. Will make thus a regular spot.

Went here last night with a friend and it was solid. I got the brisket and it was thick cut and some parts were a bit dry. I had to cover it in the sauce! The Mac and cheese was solid-- I like how creamy it is! I also loooove cornbread and these ones I don't recommend. They are soooo dry. Overall, the service was really good but the food was just okay!

Great spot in Old Town La Punte. Had the tri tip sando with slaw. Pretty tasty. The craft beer selection is great!

If you want a place to sit down, listen to some good music, chill, and have a drink with some delicious food! This is the place to go! The food, drinks, ambience and service were all spot on! Parking: there is a public parking lot and street parking right in front. They have indoor & bar seating , along with a small outdoor patio seating area. We ordered the TRI TIP FRIES with some BBQ sauce and that definitely hit the spot! Will definitely be back to try the other menu items!

The ribs & potato salad are ahhhhmazing! I didnt even know about this place until i got lost and drove by it and figured id try it out ! Great customer service they were about to close and still were more then happy to seat me and serve me . They make you feel super comfortable and its such a cute place you have to come check it out they also have several other things to choose from! I like how the menu is super simple they have the smoker in the back makes you feel like your at a family bbq!

Took a few people from work to enjoy an end of the year celebration! It was just easier for each of us to get the "D" plate. $22 per plate (Dec 23, 2024). That way no fighting and the boys were hungry! I also got a full rack of rib ala carte to share. It was a hit! I got the brisket w bacon mac n cheese. I love the fatty brisket! Ribs were great! But they either need sauce bottles at the table or give you more in the sauce container. I'm sure I could have asked for more. I didn't see any hot sauce or spicy bbq sauce. They just gave you one sauce per plate. The cashier was very helpful. You order and pay, then sit. The only thing I thought was weird was when I went to pay w credit card, she didn't turn the tablet around and/or the kiosk didn't ask for tip. I would have tipped at the table, but I didn't have cash. At the beginning of downtown la puente, on a corner. Can't miss it.

The food was amazing! I was hesitant at first to get the chicken because in the past I've hadn't had a good bbq chicken yet, but today they proved me wrong. The chicken was so juicy and tender and the sauce was sooo good. The fries were perfectly crispy just the way that I like them

Stopped here for lunch with coworkers. Food was excellent and great service! Brisket Flautas were a great appetizer. The Brisket Sandwich was a big portion.

Was in the area to stop by 99 Ranch Market and my husband was getting hangry so I looked to my buddy, Yelp, for an assist! Found this place based on the high ratings and we are so glad to have tried it out. We got the sliders with potato salad plus a side order of the mac and cheese. Food was so delicious, not greasy and was fresh! It seems like a family owned business, super friendly folks. When you walk inside the restaurant, the aroma of the bbq is so mouth-watering lol. Great spot!

Nice local BBQ joint. Brisket and ribs. We get company catering done here. Support your local business

Stopped for takeout at the La Puente location today for lunch. Pulled pork, half chicken, bacon mac and cornbread to go. Sooo yummy! Staff is always so friendly and welcoming.

Briskey flautas were a flavor explosion in your mouth! Crispy outside with a tender, flavorful chopped brisket inside. Could probably eat 3 of these. Server was friendly.

Had been hearing great things about Domestic for a while and glad I got the chance to check it out for myself! Brisket - smokey and tender are the first adjectives that come to mind. Pulled Pork - suuuuper soft and ~very~ juicy. Ribs - not the meatiest pieces, but the flavor was delicious Potato Salad - really refreshing and bright; went well between the meat heavy bites Bacon Mac & Cheese - super creamy, well seasoned. Michelle helped us out and was very attentive and made sure we always had our choice of sweet or spicy bbq ready to go with our meal. She was awesome! Got to sit by a huge window right before sunset and it was a pretty picturesque dinner with crisp cold beer, delicious bbq, and great service.

Great BBQ and the service was very good. Thank you for the good food and beer. Nice ambiance.

Can't go wrong here. Great local place for BBQ platters and beer. I would say the wait time for your food is pretty average. Great place to watch sports with friends.

i never ever visit this area nor heard of this spot until recently! lots of space for large parties and parking on the street. we got the d plate which consisted of 2 dark meats; 2 ribs and 2 pieces of chicken (leg/ thigh) and garlic fries as the side. we also got the cheesy brisket (burger) with cajun rice. i was famished so everything tasted sooo yommy. but to be transparent i've had better barbecue (texas lol, mebbe la) but good vibes!

I thought I'd be overwhelmed but I was guided by the help at the front counter to make my choices for today (I'll be back FOR SURE). It turns out the awesome friendly help was one of the owners. Thanks, Erika, for letting me know what's good! I ordered and greatly enjoyed the Bacon Jam burger. It is a CLASSIC burg with American cheese, lettuce of the shredded variety, pickles and tomatoes and house spread. The juiciness and size of the overall burger was just right. I upgraded my side from fries to the potato salad. I also had to try the bacon mac and cheese. At this point, this is too much food for one person and I was stuffed... for dessert I had the banana pudding! The pudding is elevated by that sweet bruleed marshmallow puff and the vanilla wafers. No morsel left behind. Tables and bar seating were aplenty. Great table service, too checking in, and bringing condiments or anything else you need. Parking = no problems with that because there's street parking everywhere and a parking lot.

I arrived early and waited outside for the others from my group, our server came out and asked if she should bring out menus so we could order and eat there! So kind and attentive! We went inside to order and eat! It was busy with several parties! One A Birthday! But we were still seated, and given menus. You order at the counter and your food is brought to you. Its a wonderful bbq setting, homestyle and the meats are done perfectly! So tender and well seasoned! That's what we came for!!!

Brisket was the best ever! Sausage was the best ever! Service was excellent. The two girls working, jennika and michelle were so friendly and helpful. Will come back again!!

A colleague and I were in the area for a business meeting that ended around lunch time. We quickly looked for a place nearby to eat lunch. DOMESTIC was like 4th on the list and somehow drew us to it, we took a flyer and headed over. It's a small place but smells delicious. Lots of beers on tap and extremely friendly service. I ordered the Cheesy Brisket with a side of bacon Mac n cheese. 5 stars on all of it. Literally some of the best meat I've had in CA. The bread was great and the meal as a whole was phenomenal. My colleague got the standard brisket and fries and raved about it as well. I don't live near this restaurant and neither does my colleague but we both said that we will be back and bringing more people to experience this heavenly food. Well done DOMESTIC!

Loveeeee yummmmmmmmmm will be returning I recommend . I really wanted the Barbecue chicken but they were out of):

The food was pretty mid but it was super expensive. The waiter was such a sweetheart! It was a nice open place and i loved the surroundings. Sadly i found a bunch of hairs in the wing sauce, the juice and mac and cheese. The waiter was really nice when we told her about it and didn't give us any trouble at all. Overall a 2/5

I was so pleasantly surprised to come across this place! A real hidden gem! I was looking for a good banana pudding and came across this place, and I was not disappointed. They have a unique take on banana pudding served with marshmallows and inside they use biscoff cookies. Such a fabulous combination. I just came here for a snack, and the appetizers I tried blew my mind. Easily the best flautas I've ever had. The fries we got were also really good! To top everything off the service was great and the employees are so friendly and sweet. Atmosphere is really comforting and it's a great place to sit and eat with friends or family !

If you are looking for the best hot link sausage ever well here it is. The sliders were just right and tasty. Service was quick and happy

4++ a smallish barbecue spot located on the edge of old town La Puente. This place has a very hometown-y familiar vibe to it. When you walk in, it feels very warm and welcoming. The folks here super friendly and helpful. The process is - you walk in, stand in line to order, finds seat, and wait for them to bring you your food. I ordered some brisket, sausage, and the cornbread. The brisket was very good. It was tender and flavorful. Nice smoke to it. The sausage was great and so was the cornbread. I liked that they already drizzled honey over it. The food comes with some pickles and some sauce of your choice. I was here for lunch during the workday so I didn't order any of the beers. They do have a pretty nice selection, especially in what feels like a small spot. They have Pliney the elder on tap, which is always a good sign. I definitely would love to come back. Possibly after work so I can have some beer with my meal as well. Also, it would be nice to try some more items on the menu as well.

Holy moly, this spot is my new favorite place for the occasional American BBQ craving! I was craving Texas BBQ after watching a mukbang, and because I don't live in Texas, California BBQ was the next best thing! The spot is rather hard to find as it's tucked away in an industrial area, but once you find it, it's rustic and charming. Kind of reminds me of a scene out of Borderlands. Anyways, came here with a family of four and the hostess serving us at the time was peppy, enthusiastic, and friendly. We weren't rushed to order and she was patient with custom requests. We were hungry, so we grabbed the family platter, wedge salad, cornbread, potato salad, and peach cobbler. Boy, were the portions huge. We severely underestimated how generous the portions were! My favorites were the brisket, garlic fries, hot links, and the decadent peach cobbler at the end. Yum. My only complaints were that the cornbread tasted a bit bland and was dry, and the ribs were also tough and hard to chew through. But everything else was delicious and worth coming back for. Just be wary of the insanely huge portions! We spent around $140 for everything (including tip) and ended up getting more than our money's worth.

This mom-and-pop restaurant deserves far more attention and recognition. They serve all sorts of premium meats that have been slow cooked or smoked to perfection. The St. Louis Style Ribs alone made my 35 minute drive worthwhile. The hash browns are unreal. The brisket sandwich is amongst the best in its class. The coleslaw was SUBPAR but the attention and care more than made up for it. Erika was friendly, polite and courteous at all times. She deserves a 11/10 in terms of customer service and care. She goes above and beyond, and seems sincere in her care for people in general and customers too (she offered a homeless lady a sandwich out of her own volition).

I found this place on Yelp, as I was coming back from a job site visit for work and was hungry. BBQ sounded great and this spot was on the way back to the office. It's a simple, small, but cute little storefront spot a little off of the beaten path. When my coworker and I walked in, we got a sunny, bright and enthusiastic greeting from Adi. It smells so good when you walk in and they offer all of the BBQ standards. I had the pulled pork meat plate with coleslaw. My coworker got the pulled pork sandwich. Everything was fresh, delicious, and true authentic BBQ. They have a nice selection of craft beers on tap, making this a great spot if you're looking for a fast stop for some BBQ and a beer. If you're in the La Puente area, you should definitely give this place a try. A hidden gem for sure!

Pretty disappointed in this place, I thought it would be so much better. We ordered 2 D's plate which comes with choice of 1 meat, 1 side, 1 hot link, and dinner roll. Also got pork rinds as an appetizer, cornbread, and an extra jalapeño cheddar sausage. Pork rinds were decent nothing special. Portion size of the meat was pretty small for 1 plate we got the pork ribs and we're given just 2 bones( I know food cost is high but it should be 3 or 4 bones. Rib was decent, tender, but not too tender and had ok taste. The hot link was good. The Mac and cheese as a side had no flavor/seasoning at all. The dinner was hard and cold. The other side of cajun rice was actually fluffy and good. The other meat was the most pathetic 3 slices of Brisket I have ever seen, SO DRY!!! I'm thinking it was not made that day from the way it looked. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was just average. The corn was definitely not made today because it was also bone dry. Service and atmosphere were fine but the food basically sucked.

The food is great I been back several times. One of the best places to eat in the city

Food on point! Had a simple snack; sausage platter, shoestring fries and bacon mac&cheese and a few craft brews. Service was superb! This place rarely disappoints!

Domestic has been local place that I have had my radar for quite sometime. Upon entering my partner and I greeted by the employee. Super friendly and even gave recommendations; wish I would've ask for her name. Overall the service was amazing! The food was very tasty. Per the employees recommendation, I tried the pulled pork plate and it was amazing. It was the perfect serving for a person, not like other places that tend to over serve for BBQ. My partner tried the pulled chicken sandwich and it was also delicious! Overall, I enjoyed my time and meal- would come visit again!

Great tri tip and brisket, as always, but order early because they make daily batches and they always sell out!. I love this place the atmosphere is fantastic and a great selection of craft beer too

This is my favorite bbq spot that's local to my workplace! You can tell the meats are made fresh everyday to perfection. The beef ribs melts off the bones and huge! Their sausages, briskets, and short ribs are my go to with robust and smoky flavors, but you have to try their sides as well. The bacon Mac and salad are so delicious. Every ingredient is fresh and you can tell. Their service is always exceptional, never had an issue even when they're super busy or have Pos issues, they still really take care of everyone. It's always good vibes here with with nice rustic wooden decor, screaming "family styled".

for the price point, i was expecting way more. i found this place on tiktok and was excited to try it out. i made a takeout order for about $100 worth of meat and was pretty disappointed. the brisket and ribs felt dry, the bacon mac and cheese was mid. the ratio from meat to sauce was also disappointing, we got 3 small sides of bbq sauce for over 3 lbs of meat. unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the expectations i had.

Over the top delicious! Truly the best BBQ we've had - not just locally but compared to the South as well! The four of us shared a pound of the brisket, pound of the tri-tip, full order of andouille sausage and of jalapeño cheddar sausage, a pint each of bacon mac & cheese and Cajun rice, two cornbreads, banana pudding, and snickerdoodle cake. Perfect amount of food and it couldn't have been better! Service and cooking staff extra friendly. Immediate favorite!

Okay we went back and tried the ribs again- clearly my last experience was a fluke because they were sooo meaty and juicy! We got the family platter and we four full grown adults had our fill, each got a left over plate, and had a serving for a fifth person waiting at home! The Cole slaw SMACKS and I was honestly really surprised their chicken was delicious! You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Brisket, pulled pork, chicken, ribs and tri tip! The sides are amazing! Even when they ran out of bacon the Mac was amazing. And the POTATO SALAD!!!!! My only note to the owners: BRING BACK COLLARED GREENS PLEASE! It was so good and I was bummed I couldn't get it anymore!

I met up with my mom and dad during my lunch time and we got the family meal. After seeing another order with fries i had to give the garlic fries a try. I got a side of chili beans as well and it all got to us pretty fast. Everything was soso yummy and the fries were nice and crispy! The meats were all very yummy and meaty (not so much fat, which is awesome!) the person who took our order was very sweet! I do wish the following items would be added to make it my ultimate favorite nearby bbq spot - bbq beans, corn, sweet potato, sweet tea, lemonade! The drinks offered were bottled, which was nice but nothing beats a good arnold palmer with some bbq! The bbq beans and corn make the best sides also!! Overall, very yummy and will return!

I went here with Debra R and Jose R for dinner a day ago. I got the cheesy brisket sandwich. Debra R got the half chicken and Jose R got the French dip. The food was really good and the customer service was good too.

They have quality bbq meat and waitresses are very friendly. Tri tip is good and hot link is spicy

This place is no good I did not like it. too expensive for small portions of food. The ribs were too small. You'll be disappointed.

Domestic es un lugar de comida rápida no para llegar y sentarte tranquilamente por qué el sol es un factor que te impide hacerlo en estos meses de calor entra directo por sus ventanas. Hoy pedí mi orden para llevar. Ordene un Cajun Rice que es de mis favoritos 5 estrellas en su platillo, para el pan de elote lo ordene y llegando a casa descubrí un pequeño intruso en mi caja, no le tome tanta importancia pero al probarlo el pan estaba quemado por debajo y aún crudo en el centro. Desafortunadamente no corrí con suerte está ves. El servicio de su cajero es bueno nos dió un vaso con agua y un lugar en la barra mientras esperábamos la orden. El ambiente es bueno solo de noche ya que en el día el sol es molesto. En cuestión de precios es accesible. Comida 7 Servicio 9 Ambiente 9 Precio 7

The true definition of a hidden gem. Been here many, many times and it's always a good experience. It's a high-quality BBQ restaurant for dine-in or take-out, BUT ALSO, if you're just looking for a chill bar for quick drink and a snack, there's Russian River beers on tap, smoked pork rinds, and my personal favorite, tri-tip fries. Beer and tri-tip fries. You can't go wrong.

SMOKED!!! If you love BBQ and beer, then this is the place for you!!! They have 2 locations, one in La Puente and one in Covina, both kill it!! Food is always hearty and on point! If you're also looking for a good brunch spot, look no further, Domestic has you covered! Domestic has been a nice addition to old town Covina, delicious food, great staff, all-around great place!

We been coming here for a couple of years now. My kids love this place. Bbq ribs and Sammy sandwiches are our favorite. Great service always greeted by friendly staff.

Domestic is at a weird location on the corner sorta but you can see it. Has some outdoor seatings and indoor seating. They got couple varieties on tap beer, didn't try any. Ordered combo D - tri tip was really good, cut thin layers, the bone off the ribs just slides off delicious. Bacon Mac and cheese was okay, coleslaw was very good
