Hungry Als

A hidden gem up in pine mountain that we stumbled upon after a staff day away in the mountains. We saw hungry als when we were about to come down off the mountain and we were thrilled it was open (on yelp it said weds it would open and today was a holiday so i thought it was closed). It was a small interior with some booths and tall tables, along with a bar and a pool table. We had 6 people in our party and so we did 3 double meat meals that came with 2 sides each and rolls. We got the brisket, tritip, pork ribs, and We got some extra hot links and Mac and cheese and we had plenty to eat! We had extra sides at the end we took home. The owners were super nice and brought out a salad for us to share. Al came out and chatted with us and he talked about all his experience all over the country with bbq and how his secret is this pure salt from Mexico that you just need a Little bit to go really far for flavor. You can definitely tell! It was not overwhelmingly salty and the meat was so delicious, perfect soft texture, moist, delicious flavor, you didn't even need that much bbq sauce in my opinion. All the sides were also delicious- the beans, Mac & cheese & rolls were spot on. We will be back and be bringing friends! Also I'll be stopping at their other location right of the 5 (run by Al's son) whenever I'm driving the grapevine to LA now!

Delicious local bbqGot the brisket sandwich with a side of the bbq beansAlso got an order of the I-5 loaded Mac n cheese with pulled porkEverything was delicious - would recommend Get extra bbq sauce!

What an awesome BBQ restaurant!! Nestled in PMC village sure by pine trees is the best BBQ spot I've had and I've had it all over the country!! I ordered the 2 meat plate with tri tip and ribs and sides of Mac n Chili beans! Food was so good I wanted to cuss!! Hands down best ribs you'll find! Perfectly smoked and seasoned and of course fall off the bone! Tri tip exploded with flavor!! Another bold statement is best Mac n Cheese I've ever had and I've had a lot! Don't believe me go check em out and see if I'm lying!! Also the owners were very friendly as well! Al comes by every table to chat, I told him this is the Best BBQ I've ever had!! He smiled with pride and said I hear that a lot but I appreciate it!! What an awesome response!! Worth the drive from where ever you're at!! Can't say enough!! We will be making this trip a few times a year at least!

Great lunch! We got tri tip, brisket and pulled pork sandwiches--all excellent. Delicious tender meat, soft roll and great sauce. Our sides were equally mouth-watering--baked beans, Mac n cheese and potato salad. Portions were so generous that neither of our teens could finish their sandwich, but they both took it home for later. The new interior was clean, bright and comfortable. Service was spot on. We even liked the music! We will definitely be back.

Food is amazing service is great great place to watch sports or play pool smoked chicken was great, pulled pork, it's a fun atmosphere

Food and service is great, will be definitely going back. We got our bbq to take back to our Airbnb and the wait wasn't very long.

Great bbq, and even better service ! Easily the best tasting bbq I've ever had, and the service was great! Really friendly people who care about the quality and hospitality.

I think everyone reviews the Frazier Park location, which is fine, but the Pine Mountain Club Hungry Als is on point! We got their pork ribs and brisket sandwich and damn were they great! The sides were amazing too! We got beans (killer!), Mac n cheese (awesome), and the slaw! We live in Santa Maria so we know BBQ! This place is a MUST!

The food and service was great, try the Mac and cheese you will love it!. New to PMC ,
