Amazing place food was delicious and I can't wait to drop by again to try some more , I also appreciate the atmosphere and the service.

The Newport rib Company did and amazing job well done on site. We continue to have them as part of our Vans family as we continue to have more events here is Southern California"

The place is nice and clean. Bar in the middle and the setting was good. There are TVs all around playing sports. The booths actually fit a big boy like me. The wife and I made the mistake of thinking these were normal portions. We ordered: Mozzarella cheese sticks - okay Artichoke dip with chips - good Caesar salad - huge but good Large buffalo wings - so many wings but okay. I am a guy that would prefer deep fried over baked. 5 rib plate - not much meat on beef ribs compared to other places that serve beef ribs. Also the ribs do not appear to have been boiled before cooked so the meat was hard to get off the bone. The sauce on the ribs was decent. Mash was really good. Can't remember what my other side was but it was also good. There was so much food that we had 4 to take to-go boxes. All in all it was good but nothing stood out to me. Service was amazing. Slight wait for a table if you don't have a reservation but the server, waitress and any other staff were nice to my wife and I. Parking was decent. The entry into the parking lot is a little narrow. All in all, we had a good experience and definitely want to go back and try more of the menu.

Everything here is 5 stars for a rib bbq place!!! The customer service is amazing the lady that helped us has worked here since 1999 and she is just the best service for somewhere that isn't fancy. The prime rib is one of the best I've ever tried! They have creamed horse radish or regular and I highly recommend the creamed! Their corn bread is also 10/10 wow with their butter. Their Brussels sprouts some of the best I've also had! Their brick onion is ok 7/10 and their Mac and cheese is not that good but everything else made up for those 2 lack luster dishes. They offer a cute little magic show when we came here on Sunday with an in house magician and my kids loved it. Then our food came out super fast! Within 10-15 mins! Time flew. The lady was so sweet and brought complimentary lemon popsicles for my kids. My kids loved their ribs here too and their corn bread. This is very kid and family friendly! Love this place. They have prime rib dinners for $25 on Thursdays and I'm so excited to come back on Thursday! Their prime rib combos are the best and so much and for such a good price already normally $35 for half and half

The appetizer combo #2 was pretty good. It came with fried zucchini, mozzarella sticks, chicken wings, and an onion brick that reminded me somewhat of a Bloomin Onion.

No wonder why this restaurant became our comfy place for bbq and steaks. We've been here for a while, but never discover BBQ Prime Rib. Thanks to the staff's suggestion, we gave it a try and this dish did not disappoint. It was so good! A side of coleslaw paired really well with this one. The New York steak now has extra flavorful add-ons. I added garlic butter. It was not any garlic butter that you can find in store or at markets. This one was flavorful with garlic, so a bit spicy but in a good way. Every combo came with 2 sides. As usual, cornbread with whipped honey butter was served right away. They were best when enjoy them warm. The staff were nice and service was usually fast. However, it depended on the staffing too, they may take a while to take your order even though the restaurant was not busy or during peaked hours. The staff who helped us was really nice and gave us a little tip: "Call in to see what dish will be offered as special dish on weekend (Friday, Saturday, even Sunday sometimes.) They could be cowboy steak or fillet mignon." What a great tip! We gotta try to call in next time. This place was great for any event with warm and cozy ambiance. They had a nice bar and great selection of beer and wine list too. Parking might be a bit tricky during busy hours. Overall, if you're looking for great place to hang out with cozy vibe and good food, look no further, check this one out.

TO THE OWNERS/MANAGERS!! Thank you!! Thank you for hosting an amazing venue for our beloved mom/aunty/sister Tera De La Cruz! Now lets get down to business, the service here was impeccable. Everyone was very sweet and very on top of it!! The waters, drinks, beers all came out in a timely manner! I am so sorry that I did not get the name of the young lady helping us, BUT SHE WAS THE BEST!!! She was short, on the thick side, half white & samoan and long blond hair!! I just want to say THANK YOU FOR MAKING US FEEL WELCOMED!!! The inside was really cool and sport theme liked, it was nice to feel like you were some where else and not at a memorial dinner! Now lets talk about the food..... I got to enjoy the ribs, bbq chicken, corn bread, beans, sausages and mash potatoes! The food was AMAZING!!! EVERYTHING WAS SLOW COOKED I think because it was very juicy and flavorful!! We really enjoyed the food and will be back! SHOUT OUT TO THE AMAZING BARTENDER ROBERT = YOUR THE ONE MY GUYS!!! Thank you again for having us, we cannot wait to try everything else on the menu!!!

Food is probably a 3.5/5, but considering the price and the overall experience, I am leaning towards a 4 this time. We ordered "The Rib Samplers" that came with 2 bones of beef ribs, 5 bones of St Louis, 4 bones of baby back ribs, and three sides, and some cornbread. For the amount of food, $34 (+ tax = 36ish) was an amazing deal. Both types of pork ribs were too dry for me, and they weren't meaty. I couldn't really taste the ribs but felt like I was drinking bbq sauce. The beef ribs (to me) tasted better, but they were very tough. My partner seemed to enjoy the pork ribs more but I voted for beef in terms of the flavor. They weren't amazing but okay for the price. Sides were decent. The garlic mashed potatoes were delicious--not overly buttery and offered a good balance to the meal; roasted vegetables were equally good. The beans were tooooooo sweet. The bbq sauce also overpowered the dish and it was straightforward sugary and smoky. Their cornbread was more like a pound cake, with very subtle trace of corn to it. I called it "where's my corn pound cake." It may be better served warm and submerged under whipped butter. Service was good; we may give it another try and see if other options are better.
