10/10 THE BOMB. I feel like I’m being robbed at most bbq places. The pulled pork sandwich slapped for 10 and two sides, what!! 13 out the door with tax and tip. Happy customer. Bathroom and water access. High end smoked meats if you have the dinero The bbq sauce didn’t taste like ketchup. Nice steak fries. Mellow white rice. Toasted bun and smoked pulled pork. Now that’s awesome!

I absolutely love this place. Definitely worth the stop on any trip between Santa Barbara and SLO. They use a special wood that smokes and charbroils the meats to perfection. The hamburgers are my special favorite but the tri-tip and ribs are amazing too!

The service was great very informative and friendly, let me tell you about the food , One of my sons had the pulled pork sandwich. He said it was delicious. My other son had the double cheeseburger with fries. He gave it a seven out of 10 , my husband and I split our dishes and the chicken was amazing. The tri-tip was delicious. The ribs were also so tasty! 10/10 . We will be back !

I recently stopped by BBQ Land in Santa Maria, and it’s definitely some of the best barbecue I’ve had in a while. The tri-tip sandwich was fantastic—juicy, with just the right smoky flavor, and served on perfectly toasted bread. You can tell they put real care into the barbecue here. I also tried the ribs, and they were fall-off-the-bone tender, with a nice depth of flavor. The sides were generous, too. The beans were rich and flavorful, and the coleslaw was a great balance to the richness of the meat. The whole place has a laid-back, welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly and quick to get orders out even when it was busy. I’d absolutely recommend BBQ Land to anyone in the area looking for an authentic Santa Maria BBQ experience. It’s a hidden gem worth checking out if you’re craving solid, satisfying barbecue.

Definitely get the tri-trip sandwich. The bread is crispy, and meat is juicy. Although if you hate well done meat, don't get it. Since the slices are thinly slice, it cook faster. I recommend the ribs if you want something cooked medium rare. Big side salad, good macaroni salad, great fries.

For a place that’s famous for its own cut of meat (like Santa Maria and tri-tip), you expect to find a lot of great barbecue. For the most part, that’s just not the case. The only place that truly lives up to those expectations is Barbecue Land. Great prices, food taste, food quality, consistency between visits, service, atmosphere (kid friendly) are all stellar. Could not recommend more highly!

BBQ Land is the best! My family has always orders delivery for large parties. We usually get, half chickens with steak salads. We also love the tri-tip (just make sure you say how well done you want it, they’ll do it for you) The food is made with love and you can taste it. There Kim-chi, potato salad, beans, and salsa are addictive. We always get extra just in case. Highly recommended for large last minute family gatherings. Enjoy!

'An absolutely memorable BBQ experience! The food quality is outstanding, with a wide variety of main dishes and fresh, delicious sides that perfectly complement each other.
