"Great locals only BBQ place. The brisket was tender, the beans great, and the potato skins good. It is a no thrills approach to BBQ."
I ordered three meat combinations: brisket, baby back ribs, and pulled pork. Unfortunately, the baby back ribs were the most disappointing, lacking the flavor I was expecting after having enjoyed them elsewhere. I was really looking forward to them. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised by the brisket! I didn’t have high expectations, but it was flavorful and perfectly smoked. The pulled pork was decent but nothing special—just average.
The standout side for me was the mac and cheese. You definitely have to try this when you visit! It was beautifully melted, slightly crispy from being broiled, and the inside had the perfect blend of cheesiness and al dente texture. I really enjoyed...
BTTBB is a gem, it has been around as long as I can remember dating back to my teenage years , now in my 30s.I' love southern food esp bbq so this place really stood apart from the mainstream food scene here in OC which is awesome they started the BBQ trend and for that im truly grateful!!!! Customer service is always amazing The gentlemen who served me and my partner the other day were so helpful while ordering we had many questions! The food was fair, It is def a great price point which is appreciated. If your looking for some bbq coleslaw cornbread brisket ribs etc... and are not a complete south snob I'm mean that in a GREEAT way! The south does it best!)I would absolutely recommend esp...
When I received the email in my inbox with the first line Have you ever wondered how BBQ joints slowly cook their meat to drop it-off-the-bone? I'm pretty sure I screamed YES! When I found out that I would participate in a back-the-scene look at Bad To The Bone BBQ, I was sold. I was never before, so when I learned that Marty Wells, the owner, would be there to share some of his secrets and answer my BBQ questions, I marked it in my calendar. My really important question was when it comes to BBQ sauce, are you a Drencher or a Dipper? Because I want to keep you in retaliation, scroll down for the answer.
I am absolutely smitten with the TriTips at this restaurant. I used to order the Two Meats special with TriTips, but the cashier recommended trying the TriTips Dinner which was more affordable and just as delicious. I can't get enough of their corn on the cob with cilantro and chili butter, so I always choose that for both of my sides. My friend always orders the Ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, and usually saves the leftovers for lunch the next day. In my opinion, Bad To The Bone is a hidden gem in San Juan Capistrano.

I personally adore the Tri-Tips at this restaurant. I used to order the Two Meats special with both types of Tri Tips until the cashier recommended the Tri-Tips Dinner which was a bit cheaper and just as filling. I also love their corn on the cob with cilantro and chile butter so much that I always choose it as both of my sides. My friend always orders the Ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed veggies, and often saves the leftovers for lunch the next day. In my opinion, Bad To The Bone is a hidden gem in San Juan Capistrano.
We had an amazing experience at this restaurant! The food was fantastic, and the staff were wonderful. We loved the heated terrace, and the salon featured some live music along with local beers. On a Friday night at 7 PM, the place was bustling, but the service remained excellent. We will definitely be returning! Food: 5/5
Bad to the Bone is a local favorite for a good reason the food is good. Today, the tri-tip sandwich was fantastic, and I almost ordered another to get more of the taste in my mouth. I stopped coming for a while but I enjoyed this meal so I will be coming back.Food: 5/5
