Food is good. If you go during peak hours you may consider doing take out because the place is small. There are about four tables inside and a fifth one next to the door (could be bothersome). Outside there are about three tables.
What I don't like is that the cashier goes to the back and leaves the front unattended and customers waiting. This is really annoying.
Awesome food. Hole in the wall you have to try. The pork belly is cooked perfectly with lots of flavor
If you live in orange and want good quick (take out) bbq then this is the place to go. *** the place is small so you cant have large parties of people eating there, best if you take out***
Wow this place is amazing and I will be back as much as I can and one of there meal they have is called The Thor wow all I can say is its dank asf. There service was awesome I came in for the first time and the cute cashier was very professional and made me fill welcomed awesome job Brew Hawgs keep it up
The only truly great bbq in Orange. I have tried all of them, and rarely eat BBQ because I can usually do better cooking/smoking it myself. This place will have me heading out for BBQ a lot more frequently! Well done, guys! Keep doin' the lord's work over there!
It was a very hot Memorial Day on the road to Lake Elsinore so we decided to pull into a rest stop & get a sweet treat to cool down. All of the staff greeted us with a smile as we walked in. This place doesn't seem busy but the staff drops everything to take their time to acknowledge everyone. One person was cleaning tables & one person was mopping the wet floor from a mess that the previous customer had made at the soft drink machine. I like stops that are clean & well kept!
I wasn't hungry but decided to order more just to support this place. I ordered 3 Oreo Milkshake & a 3 Tacos for $3 which also came with a Soft Drink. Its fast food on the road so it is what it is. The Tacos were super oily & crunch but is pretty tasty & addictive. I wouldn't eat this everyday though! The milkshake was not bad. Tasted exactly like Oreo Cookies with Vanilla soft serve.
Some of the best BBQ and Rootbeer in the OC for sure.
Best customer service on top of the best food! Gotta try the vegan bbq.
Fantastic BBQ, good flavor soft moist meat, great sandwich selection, the home-brewed Root Beer is some of the best I've had, a great pairing for BBQ
This is one of the best little hole in the wall places I have been to, if you really enjoy BBQ and prefer to take out, this is the place to come to, it's best to call ahead your order. Sometimes there is a bit of a wait when you wait to order when you arrive. Come here and enjoy the cornbread.
Second time coming here, was hard to find the first time but not a big problem. Location is small but still a lot of places to chill an eat.
Place is very friendly an clean so that's a plus to me. Didn't really know what to order the first time so I asked the cashier what she recommends so shout out to kayla for an awesome pick! Would definitely come back if in the area..
We made the trip from a neighboring city just to get some of this delicious BBQ. They did not disappoint. I kept it clean with just a sausage that was just enough. My partners loaded up on tater tots, cream corn, brisket, and chicken. Definitively recommend dining here. Small seating area so come early for lunch.
OMGsh if you are a vegetarian or a meat eater this place to go for barbecue. I swear this has been the best experience for me. I'm a vegetarian and we never can go to barbecue places because usually they don't have anything for me to eat however this place has vegan chicken vegan beef and you can get it in a sandwich form or in a barbecue plate form. It is just a small little hole in the wall but we will be back.
They food is amazing. Their baby back ribs are amazing. The service was not in point. The girl forgot to bring out food that we ordered multiple times. Once the food does get to you it's great.
Small little Shop off Tustin. Some amazing bbq and friendly service. also really good rootbeer they make themselves.
Probably my favorite BBQ place nearby. Staff is nice, food is great, and you don't have to wait long for it. Overall fantastic!
Best bbq since moving here from Oklahoma! Thanks guys!!!!
There was a bit of a wait but the food was amazing.
Great food, the pastrami was amazing. I had the beef rib and pulled pulled pork. Now l need to go back do I can try the rest of the mests.
My kid went in and asked what was good and ordered. Was really good food. Not expensive and really enjoyed what was recommended to us.
Its like a hidden gem the food is amazing and I literally wanna try everything on the menu
Great pork ribs and brisket deviled eggs. Staff and owner are great.
The best drunk food you can ask for! The lines get pretty busy at night, but it's definitely worth the wait.
MUST TRY: Brew Hawg BBQ!!
My go to spot for BBQ! I always get the vegan standard sandwich when I'm craving meat.
We also cater with them for groups between 20-350 people and it's always a big hit. I recommend the smoked chicken, brisket, mac and mash!
Janith was wonderfully PLEASANT and HELPFUL with or Sunday's dinner catered order... The food was GREAT!
Probably the best bbq in OC. Absolutely scrumptious
Good food! Would suggest putting name on store front so easy to see from the street.
Food was delicious and service was pleasent. Space is a little tight and the menu is a little limited without having to add $1 or $2 for beef or other specialty add on/substitution. Considering it is a little pricey it was a bit disappointing. Definitely a good place for take out or catering.
I tried this place in the past with my friend and I am obsessed since then. I liked the great atmosphere and flavorful food and beverages. 5 stars from me.
We drove from huntington beach today for lunch and took a friend I told him how good the food is. Well boy was I wrong the food we ordered was terrible he a brisket plate it was nothing but fat my pulled pork was the same.I told the lady behind the counter all she could say was sorry. That will be the last time and will spread the word.
Best BBQ around. I will never go anywhere else again!!!
The place offers a nice range of delicious food. I liked eating here. Employees are always super friendly, prices are reasonable and the spot is always neat.
This was my first time ordering from Brew Hawg so perhaps this was an exception, but the ribs were way overcooked; to the point of almost being uneatable. They arrived cold but didn t have enough moisture left to be able to reheat even a little. The garlic mashed potatoes were good but I suspect the baked beans came from a can. Big disappointment for what we paid. I don t think I want to try this place again.
Food sucked, too expensive. They don't even sell beer. Even though the title suggests that. I'm from Texas and this pulled pork and beef brisket just looked like slop. NO PRIDE IN THERE FOOD!
Wow so delicious I had the macaroni and cheese brisket sandwich with mashed potatoes, and I added some spicy BBQ sauce, it was delicious, highly recommend this place, definte food coma.
This place is small but a real gem. The BBQ is on point. Try the mack and cheese, it's epic!
Awesome brisket and ribs amazing cream corn and perfect cornbread. I will be recommending this place to everyone i know for ribs for catering weddings etc.
Made the trip from Long Beach, worth the trip. Every penny was worth spending. The mac n cheese is a must
The Duke sandwich was good. Rootbeer was good, friendly staff.
This place is very good. Not to mention the reggae music that's playing. Soft buns mmm
Had brisket, pork belly and hot links. Everything tasted good including the coconut creamed corn. Personal preference but I would have liked the links to have a bit char/grill marks as they looked a bit hot dog like even though they tasted good. Also prefer the brisket to be sliced to make the distinction between the pork belly which was also served half pulled if that's even a term. Overall a good experience and satisfying.
$13 for a full rack of baby back ribs on Friday the 13th
Yesterday night i have dinner there, I ordered the Burnt End and the Brisket with Mac & Cheese with green beans and the devil eggs, it was okay for a late dinner i assume if we come earlier the Brisket would be more juicy and tender, worth trying.
Cant understand why they dont advertise. Not even a store name on the building! Just says barbeque...
Tiny hole in the wall. Pretty good I guess. You be the judge.
I like the brisket!
This is my first ever review but I feel obliged. I ordered a brisket by the pound and a side of beans.
I wasn t aware that you can get diabetes from BBQ baked beans, but trust me with the amount of sugar in those beans it s instant.
My main issue was the brisket. now I am an avid brisket fanatic. But what I received today was a complete joke. In all my years eating brisket when you order brisket by the pound it is sliced brisket. This brisket was WAY over cooked and the restaurants attempt to rectify the situation is to shredded into slices (pulled pork style) and just completely drown it with bbq sauce. All I can say that it was a failed attempt because even the bark was chewy and technically inedible.
To summarize: mediocre at best, I wish I could give negative stars because I was really craving BBQ and this was an insult.
Best. Bbq. Ever. U need to try this place. Talk about foodgasim seriously. Meat is always on par and full of flavor. Service is great. Place is really small which is why I always take it to go but still u need to come here.
The food is crazy good! Loved everything, brisket, pulled pork, chicken and all of the sides.
Great BBQ, good atmosphere, friendly staff and the owner I believe is almost always there(cool guy btw) and reasonable prices. Highly recommend this spot.
We stopped here because of the great reviews on Yelp, and we were not disappointed. I can't remember the name of the sandwich we tried, it was brisket on grilled Texas toast with cheese, 'grilled cheese with brisket', with side of cream corn. Both were so tasty and filling. The hubby had a combo plate which consisted of two choices of meat, with two sides. He chose the tri-trip and ribs,cream corn and Mac n cheese. He loved it, but I think he liked my sandwich better!!! We also tried the fries with cranberry peanut slaw and pulled pork, way better than any carne asada fries I've ever tried, and the root beer... it was good for 'home brewed'. The place is super small, 2 or 3 tables, so you pretty much have to eat and leave. The food is worth the stop!!!
If you love smoked pork ribs this is the place to go. The Mac n cheese is also delish. I have never had a bad meal here. Be gentle with the hot BBQ sauce!!!
From the street, Brew Hawg is hard to notice and you could easily drive past it and not even know that BBQ could be found in the little business strip. The place is located back from the street and the parking lot; without much signage, even when you're standing in fron of it, you're not sure.
Out in front of the restaurant, there are a few tables for dining and relaxing outside. Once inside, there are a few table scattered in front of the walk up, counter service.
The menu is comprised primarily of sandwich plates and meat plates. My wife and I decided on the sandwiches and chose to give the brisket a try. The meat plates with two meat choices seemed like a lot of food for lunch. We were looking for a meat plate with just one BBQ choice, but it wasn't on the board. The staff was friendly and was helpful in describing the menu choices. She was also provided excellent service offering refills and servicing our table.
The brisket sandwhiches were amazing. Good hunks of smokey BBQ flavor. The combination of the tart cranberry slaw and the brisket was delicious. Based on just the meats, Brew Hawg would rate another star higher. I really wanted to give this place a higher review, but the side dish was a bit of a disappointment. The rather small helping of garlic mash was a bit bland, with the consistency of instant mash potatoes. A strange after taste followed each mouthful. My wife ordered the coconut creme corn. The corn looked like the soft consistency of canned corn and looked a bit watery. As a do over, I'd pick beans, fries or potato salad next time. I was a bit disappointed with the rootbeer. I found it unflavorful and a bit dilluted. After having one, it isn't something I'd look forward to ordering again.
Competition is tough because there are lots of restaurants in the area for BBQ. Improvement could be made by offering a single meat place and excelling at fewer flavorful sides to improve the quality and overall experience of the meal.
Great bbq in a place that isn't exactly known for bbq.
Glad this place is around. The food is creative and delicious, staff is friendly. The owner/chef is a character, but friendly. Highly recommend this place. Only downside is that it's a small place with only a couple of tables. A must try!
Have ate here a few times now. Amazing every time! I've sampled most menu items, can't go wrong with any choice so far. Their home brewed root beer is also very delicious. Employees, cooks and the owner Leo have met me every time I've came in, very friendly. Great bbq, highly reccomend.
Like the service was ok, but mislead when they said the root beer they used on the ribs if was sweet ? , they were not ! It spicy and hot and not to my liking will try something else at another store or do my own !
Awesome food, you get your money's worth. The Duke sandwich is amazing.
My favorite place to enjoy some delicious pulled pork and coconut Corn is delicious!
This place is crazy delicious. I highly recommend the "Momo" it's a scrumptious concoction of coconut cream corn with smooth and creamy mashed potatoes topped with your choice of meat and drizzled in heavenly BBQ sauce. Get it with some cornbread and housemade root beer. Can't lose
Very tasty BBQ food. Very unassuming place but worth a visit.
Great bbq good service just all-around good place !!!!
Great bbq, the place is very small butt big in flavor
Had the Duke special sandwich plate. Texas toast melted muenster cheese, mac & cheese and choice of meat (pulled pork, for me).Delicious! Choice of one side ( I choose baked beans, very good) But for $11.75, too expensive or should offer 2 sides. Server disappeared in the back even though the were 2 tables of guests. Not very friendly.
They have vegan options! Although it's only labeled as a specialty it was delicious. Also tried the coconut cream corn, peanut cranberry coleslaw, and corn bread. My favorite was the coconut cream corn. My friend tried the tri-tip, mac n cheese, garlic mashed potatoes, and corn bread. She devoured everything. All in all, it's pretty good BBQ for southern California.
Best BBQ place in OC and also great prices for food
