Balboa Bar-B-Que, Newport Beach CA

This place was so yummy we decided to stop by again for a second visit on the way to the airport. (We were staying in Anaheim) so it was that good. We were unable to use the online ordering system (glitch with it) or call ahead to order for pickup (no answer, makes sense it's more of an order in person type of place anyways) and the second visit they only had two people working and seemed understaffed, and longer wait times (was fine with me). Definitely recommend checking your order before leaving for pick up orders because they did get one of our sides wrong.they have great food though and much better than the corn dogs next door. They didn't have an option to add extra meat to the Mac and cheese meal without it costing $6 dollars (and the meal is $10) so I wasn't going to pay $6 for extra meat. Maybe they can add this option.

Surprised to find such amazing BBQ on a pier. The Texas Sausage was incredible. Pulled pork, and mac & cheese all fantastic. We highly recommend it.

My boyfriend and I were just out cruising around California cause we always like to go drive around and look at new things. It was time for lunch and we were hungry and we saw this barbecue fries it was absolutely amazing is all I can say! The view was great if you wanted to eat outside the atmosphere and the customer service was absolutely wonderful.

After driving 2 hours, paying $30 for parking I was at least expecting good food. Foe one they did not have any ribs and said we had to wait an hour and a half for some. So we got the brisket. They put a lot of sauce however the meat itself was not tender and juicer at all. I will never go here again.

Got the Piggy Mac, the pulled pork was great 9/10, and the sauce was good, but the Mac wasn’t cheesy and they needed to either add more cheese or more pork to fix that. I’d eat here again though.

This place was great! On vacation from Phoenix, had a big party (11 people) that ordered lots of different stuff to share and it all came out quick, hot, and delicious. Favorites were definitely the corn balls, brisket Mac and cheese, the Diablo burger. Very good French fries as well. Nothing fancy, don’t compare the BBQ to other places and you won’t be disappointed. Reasonably priced as well.

Excellent food. Had the brisket sandwich and stood up to any other brisket sandwich I’ve ever had. The coleslaw was fresh, the sauces flavorful. And a very reasonable price. Hoping to come back soon.
