Ribbro BBQ stands out for its commitment to classic American barbecue, slow-smoking prime cuts over hardwood for hours to produce intensely flavorful ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. Locally owned and praised by OC Weekly and the Orange County Register, Ribbro’s welcoming, unfussy setting is a favorite for locals seeking authentic, Texas-style BBQ in the heart of Surf City. Their brisket’s deep bark and juicy texture have made them a go-to for BBQ aficionados, while their house-made sauces add layers of flavor. Consistently cited for its friendly service and generous portions, Ribbro is the kind of neighborhood spot that keeps Huntington Beach’s BBQ tradition alive.
I highly recommend this place. The food was delicious. I'll just say this, my kids never eat leftovers and they BOTH ate their leftovers. I tried my son's brisket and Mac sandwich, it was probably my favorite thing. The sweet potato fries are the best I've had anywhere. I can't wait to go back and try some bbq and not a chicken sandwich. The sandwich was great but I need to try the bbq.

Great atmosphere. The outdoor seating was great. They have heaters if you get cold, but you can't miss the views! The food was very good! Zucchini sticks were AMAZING! We tried lots of their sandwiches and everyone was satisfied and FULL!

I really liked the seasoning on the fries, which is the same rub as the meats. The brisket was a big hit. I love the Sriracha BBQ sauce. Sweet with a little spice. The chicken tortilla soup was loaded with chicken. Our food came out lightning fast and despite my doubts that bartender Zane was going to remember everything we ordered, everything was as requested.

This was a great place to have a wedding rehearsal dinner! There was enough space for the 30 or so of us and the food and service was top notch! The view of the beach was gorgeous and I would definitely recommend coming here.

This BBQ joint was good! They have 3 different bbq sauces on each table to choose from. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the view was awesome! It is located on the 2nd floor of a mall that sits ocean side. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. They have a vast menu and an even bigger drink menu. They offer a lot of beer on tap, and high end alcohol options to include bourbon, vodka, and tequila! Overall our experience was great!

Highly recommend Old Crow Smokehouse in HB. My wife and I have been here many times. We also have brought family and friends to share in the experience. We're always found this place to offer great atmosphere, food and service. I especially like the happy hour here. The craft beer offerings are excellent. All of the food is great. Especially recommend the Crow's Nest Poutine. You won't be disappointed.

I had high hopes for this location as the food smelled amazing and the vibe was awesome. Unfortunately it went downhill pretty fast. Service was meh, forgot our beer most of our meal, portions for the brisket was insane considering the price and mostly of the food was cold before we could even eat it as we had no silverware and had to wait for the waitress to reappear. The fountain drink selection was slim so my kids didn’t have much h choice, my pulled pork sandwich and coleslaw was amazing though and I really enjoyed my meal. The rest of my family left annoyed and wanted something else within an hour. The live music is a great concept, but even outside it was so loud that my watch kept alerting me of the level. We could barely talk while we ate. I don’t think we’d go back in the future.
