Destination Smokehouse & Eatery, Hemet CA

The oxtails are very good, too notch bbq if you can afford it. I went in thinking they had personal size platters, but it’s more like seafood boils where everything is by the pound. For a small Mac and cheese for 1 which was $8 and half lb oxtail came out to be $30, oxtails was delicious. Mac n Cheese was flavorful but more on the soupy side and not really cheesy and no it’s not your typical AA Household mac I can compare it to Kraft and Velveeta box mac n cheese. You really need a good 40-60 if you’re going to get a side and 2 half lb meats. They have multiple sandwiches that look great, I’d definitely go back I was just shocked at the prices wasn’t expecting that but the meat is literally fall off the bone and a must try regardless of the price.

Absolutely loved this place. Excellent food and customers are treated like family. We can't wait to go back!

I paid $35 for 1 lb of ox-tails and a small butter cookie and Carmel shake the ox-tails a little too peppery for me the shake was fire now I will be going back I would like to try something else from the menu.

Worth the drive out here! This was an amazing meal! Brisket and pulled pork were on point. Best BBQ I have had in the area.

Finally, a barbeque restaurant that is true to the hype! You must go and try for yourself. Simply the BEST! Every meat choice is flavorful and tender

Renato and Cassie were amazing, the food was unbelievably great. Highly recommended
My new favorite!

Thought we'd try this place just to see what the hype on their social media page was all about. However, I was not impressed and actually very disappointed in the taste and portion sizes. Upon ordering, the girl at the register said that everything was a la carte, which I thought was strange because the menu online showed something different. She did acknowledge that I could order the two ribs and a side, so I chose the potato salad. The ribs were tender but had no smokey flavor. Without the BBQ sauce, the meat tasted bland. The potato salad also had zero flavor, just tastes like potatoes in mayo. I was not a fan, and out of all of the places I've tried from the East Coast to the West Coast, this place had the smallest portions. 2 ribs and a small side (no drink) for $17. That's all the money this establishment will ever get from me.

Best BBQ the sandwiches are delicious, drink flavors are great. The sides on the other hand is a hit and miss sometimes the Mac and cheese is great sometimes it’s dry and not much flavor the coleslaw doesn’t usually have much flavor. On the other hand the desserts are also delicious must try them out definitely a place to check out for hemets best spot for some delicious smoked meats. I’d highly recommend the (brisket and cheddar) and the (brisket grilled cheese panini) I don’t recommend as much the Philly sandwich just not all there I think it’s not bad but I’d just recommended to go with something else first then maybe try that one last. The strawberry dessert was delicious the waffles taste so good when they come out warm with the ice cream on top
Tacos 10/10 add some salt

Me and my dad went over there to eat the brisket sandwiches. The bread and cheese was good. The sandwich itself was fulfilling. HOWEVER, i wouldnt recommend it because despite the advertising, the meat had ZERO smokiness. The only thing that was smokey was the barbeque sauce

Best bbq you can find around here! Ribs were tender, flavorful, and big. Brisket was alright but if you go, the ribs are a must have.

Our first time, and the service was extremely slow 51 minutes before we received our food. I do know they run out of items threw out the day, so my wife and I tried the chedder brisket because thats all they were serving, and it was awesome with mac and cheese. I will return to try other items due to their instagram postings and hope the service improves.

First time I have ever been here in all the years I have lived in the area. Have to say it was amazing.

The employees go above and beyond, everyone is so great and the food is AMAZING! Best barbeque around

Nest little spot to check out in Hemet. Its attached to a museum. Didn't check out the museum as we were just looking for a bite to eat. Got the brisket Philly. And the Mac n cheese. Man that thing would so good. Will definitely be back to try other items on the menu

Do not place a catering order with this restaurant. They will cancel on you last minute. I mean people at your house waiting to eat last minute!

The Ribs and brisket are perfect. Tried the brisket tacos and they were so good. Had some ribs and they were perfect def not over seasoned like a lot of other places. We will be back to try the rest of menu soon.

This place is unique in the fact that it's a former train station from yesteryear. Service was ok, as was the food. They had no pulled pork option available due to having no pork ready. It's a bit disappointing since one of the few options of meat you gave is pork. The brisket was ok but very fatty. They actually have good beef for their 1 burger option. They might do better business if they had more burger options. I'm very disappointed that I drove 30 mins to Hemet from Beaumont to try this place from the several recommendations I received about it. Also the parking is very confusing. They have a small gated parking lot, which seems to serve a museum that's linked to the same location. In fact, the official parking lot seems to be a dirt lot in the back of the former station where the old tracks still lay.
