Brisket Fries
It was the absolute bomb. Fires so crispy with the smokey, juicy, meaty brisket. Two forks and it makes the perfect date sharing item. It really is worth it. Delicious!
Corn Bread
Classic cornbread! Yum

These ribs were amazing! Who knew I'd love these ribs this much. The flavor was the perfect amount of smoky bbq. And I love the sauce! So much meat
Pulled Pork
This pulled pork was delicious - moist and flavourful, perfect on bread or on its own! Excellent choices of sauces too.
Wholly Cow
This dish was amazing! The bbq sauce gives it just a slight kick and the brisket is so tender it melts in your mouth.

Had this on a whim on a Sunday and was blown away at the quality of the ribs. There was tons of meat on each one and the sauce was great. Didn't expect to find BBQ this good on Balboa. Highly recommend!

Char-Grilled Chicken Breast
This was a great restaurant right by the balboa fun zone! My wife and I loved the employees and felt like they met all of our needs. The food was fresh and was probably our favorite place during our stay in Newport Beach. It was extremely clean and was a really fun environment to be in. 10/10 recommend going.
Brisket Stack
After taking a stroll along the beach, I had time for a quick bite. The food was great, and the portions were perfect. Great area to visit. Canada loves brisket and slaw. Thanks!

These are delicious! Wow. I don't know what the sauce was but it was the perfect complement to the sweet, fried corn balls. I would come back just to have more of these!!

Pulled Pork
Fantastic ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. All of the sides are delicious. The staff are polite, fast, and professional. There is no better place to enjoy lunch in the Fun Zone.
Pulled Pork
I have been here a few times and there are so many great choices! I recently had the pulled pork meal and it was so delicious ! It has a great smoky flavor, so there is no need for extra sauce, but the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce is also great. The brisket and ribs are are very good choices. The staff is friendly and nice. You will not be disappointed!
Texacali Chili Burger
This is a delicious, messy finger eating burger, that keeps me coming back for more. Add some of the Sweet & Spicy BBQ sauce and you won't regret it. A must try on the menu!
Bacon Bacon Burger
The burger was great! The meat had a great flavor to it! Will buy it again!

Western Dog
We got the western dog and the pulled pork sandwich and both were SO GOOD!!!! We called in an order for pickup and the wait was 5 minutes.... no joke! Oh we also got a side of the Mac n cheese which was also delicious and has a little heat, a perfect touch! This was our first time and we will definitely be coming back soon. Thank you balboa bbq!!!!!
