Smoked Out BBQ

Short Story: Holy cow! I wish I lived here :)Long Story: I've been coming here too many times the past two years and have gotten everyting on their menu. From the regular items such as pulled pork, brisket, smoked chicken, hot links, tater tots, to all their sandwiches (with the meats I just listed), to special items such as pastrami and meatzilla beef ribs!The prices are good and the service is fantastic! The place is a bit small so I usually order ahead. Items also run out early so be sure to call or order ahead!Verdict: I'm picking up an order right now!

I've seen the logo before on some advertisement or maybe their truck. So I was surprised when my buddy and I met up for lunch and I saw it was a place on my radar.Industrial warehouses all around. So you could easily miss this spot unless you heard about it, by word of mouth. Small, busy, and packed. Unfortunately, one person running the front, so cashier and taking your order, fulfilling orders, packing up orders, etc. Be patient, it's worth it. Though, they needed 2 people in the front to help the customers. It was lunch time.Combination Plate: All meal combinations come with 5oz of protein per selection, along with a 5oz side(s) of your choice and a sweet roll.Combo 2: Cannot double up on tri tip or brisket. Comes with choice of 2 proteins (pork ribs, smoked brisket) and 2 sides (chili, sweet beans).*Pork ribs (4/5) - meaty, nice bark, sweetened, tender but not fall-off- -the-bone tender. One of the better tasting ribs.*Smoked Brisket: smoked forn18+hrs with oak/hickory wood (4/5). Lean brisket, so partly a bit drier but some fattier parts included so that was juicier.*Chili: Ground beef, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, with their own spice blend (no beans). It was good. Though, not much heat. But tasty.*Sweet Beans: white beans with their sweetened house original pineapple BBQ sauce (4/5). Some might think it's too sweet. But it was a nice flavor and fork tender beans.Thanks RK for lunch and introducing me to this place. I'll be back!Support your local business.

Great BBQ for the area! We ordered Smoked Out BBQ on DoorDash. They're located in a business / residential park area, and had a pretty great selection for BBQ options.We ordered two things to share amongst 2 people:+ Pulled Pork Chili Cheese Tots (4/5) ($15): So good! I normally don't like chili that much... but this and the pulled pork together made the tots taste sooo good. The tots were crisp, the chili cheese was packed with flavor. The portion was more than enough, but definitely, after a while the flavor became easy to get tired of. I really hoped to try their oxtail tots, but it wasn't available unfortunately :(+ Combo 4 (4/5) ($29): Our three meats: tri-tip, pork ribs, hot link. Two sides: potato salad, mac and cheese. The pork ribs and hot link were both really god! The tri-tip also was pretty delicious, the meat was tender. I wasn't the biggest fan of the potato salad, but I enjoyed how rich the mac and cheese was.They have tables inside if you're looking to dine in!

This is some amazing BBQ, probably one of the best in the bay area. It's located in an unassuming location in a residential park in Santa Clara, and they open only for lunch on weekdays. We came here on a Tuesday around 1130am and placed our orders. I got the combo 3 which comes with 3 protein and 1 side for about $25, total around $30 including tax/tip. It may seem quite steep but it does come with generous portion. I opted for the brisket, pork ribs, and chicken. They have tons of BBQ sauces to try, I recommend their spicy BBQ and their hot sauce, its super spicy! LOVED IT. They also have complimentary homemade pickle slices. The brisket was so tender and delicious! The same goes for the chicken. The meat dipped in their sauces equate to a heavenly experience! My side of chili was super meaty, its all meat, so FYI. The order came with Hawaiian bread. Next time I'd go for the mac n cheese or coleslaw. I got back to work and noticed they forgot my pork ribs! I called the next day, left a message for the worker, and got a call back within 2 hours saying they'll refund my entire order for the mistake. I was so shocked! I would've been happy with partial refund or come back and grab my ribs, but this was great customer service. My coworker ordered a chicken sandwich but think he got pork. The ordering system is interesting, they speak on the mic the order and I guess it goes to the kitchen staff. Not sure if there's a print out of the orders for the staff in the back to refer to, but a couple of our orders got messed up. I would suggest a better ordering system if my interpretation is correct.Will totally be back given their bomb BBQ and awesome customer service. Certainly a hidden gem in the area!

I was a little taken aback when my work colleague was like "hey, we need to go to this spot for lunch" at 10 am on a weekday. Naturally, my response was like "meh, not really hungry right now" but he was like "trust me" and I'm so glad we did. Apparently this spot sells out of bbq before 12 pm and I can certainly see why. I have tried MANY bbq spots and of my 32 years of existing, this spot has the BEST BBQ IVE EVER TASTED. I also highly recommend the chili.

Had really high hopes for this place. Was sorely disappointed with the brisket. When I got the tray I could immediately tell it was going to be dry, and it was! I didn't even finish it 4/10. The hot link was fine, but it was nothing special 6/10. Ribs were decent, good flavor and tender, not fall off the bone, but good bite and not dry 7/10. Dirty rice side was pretty good, but a little dry 7/10. Mac and cheese was ok nothing memorable 6.5/10. The thing that saved the meal was the oxtail poutine tater tots 8.5/10. So, I would not come back for the bbq, but I would come back for those tater tots.

Great bbq spot! The brisket and chicken was good. I thought the pulled pork was average. Loved the homemade sides and pickles they gave me. I will return and try other items.

A hidden gem in Santa Clara. Great hole in the wall place for BBQ. It is surrounded by warehouses and just driving by you won't even know there's a BBQ place there. Brought 6 of my co-workers with me and they all loved it. It is a small area, so beware that you might not be able to dine in. The person who took my order was great! Recommended us on some great meats and encouraged us to try all of their in house made BBQ sauce. The meat came right off the bone and it was smoked just perfectly. I would definitely recommend the Tritip! My co-workers are already planning to come back next shift!

The best bbq I have found in the South Bay! Quality, good meat(Yes we can tell) and just amazing!Keep up the greatwork.

Love these guys. Not the best customer service since nobody answers the phone. U order on their website.Lately I don't see the brisket available to get (Jan 15, 2025). Maybe someone's on vacay ? I'll have to settle with going somewhere else for now - but hope they get back on track. I will update when the brisket is back...
