Veggie Burger

I have tried almost every veggie burger under the sun and this one really hit the spot. I loved the char-grilled taste with the soft fun and fresh veggies on top. A very fun restaurant and great for big groups or a night out.

Baby Back Ribs Full Rack

I grew up in Kansas City, Mo., home of great beef and rib smokehouses. In all my searches around the U.S. I have found only one place to rival the delicious ribs my family savored when I was a kid - Balboa Bar-B-Que. The quality of the meat and the way they cook it is heaven on Earth (make sure you try the varieties of homemade BBQ sauce, as well.) Skip the over-rated, expensive restaurants and try this world-class take-out near Balboa Fun Zone. If you're a rib purist you know why great ribs matter, and I'm willing to bet you will go out of your way to eat here, again and again. Thanks, Balboa Bar-B-Que, for bringing so much joy to my family today!

Saucy Brisket

I had the brisket plate on Sunday and was pleasantly surprised that they made it taste even better! While the slow smoked brisket was tender and tasty, they now are putting it on a Texas toast. It's added garlic flavor makes the whole meal taste better. I don't know if it's a permanent change but it tasted great to me. Thanks Balboa BBQ for always providing great tasting food.

Bourbon Smoked Brisket

As always this meal is terrific. The brisket is tender with a smoky flavor. You get a healthy serving and don't go away hungry. The staff is super friendly and it has almost a family feel. They certainly are family to me. I love their food and location.

Pulled Pork

I'm currently sitting in Balboa Bar-B-Q in awe of this food and had to write a review. I can't believe I found the best pulled pork sandwich in Newport Beach of all places! So delicious. Plus it's nice they have a good kids menu!
