Badlands BBQ

**Review:** Excellent BBQ! Stopped by while visiting from out of town, and it was absolutely worth it. The food was flavorful, perfectly smoked, and had that authentic BBQ taste I was craving. The service was also top-notch--friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Highly recommend this spot to anyone passing through or even locals looking for a great meal. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town!

I decided to come back after not having Badlands for about a yearI've been coming here since they first opened and back then the Burgers were about 13$ + it included a sideThen they shot it up to 15$ after covid restrictions were lifted, which made no senseStill I was okay with the priceNow? It's suddenly 20$ for their chophouse and they have reduced it in sizeThe quality is good, but it seems they have taken the success to their head and are now trying to squeeze out as much money from customers rather than providing a good quality meal with a fair priceThey even have the built in - Tip Option - When you order at the frontThis place is now just Ok... Its not a good deal and they've sized down portions Sad to see it go this waySince 2021 minimum wage was 14$, now its 16$But they have increased the costs on their burgers by over 5$Greed

Everything on our plate was amazingly delicious. I wanted variety so I ordered a combo platter with 3 options. Our favorite however item were the ribs. They literally melted off the bone. I also got the hot link. It smothered in a spicy sauce that made it spicier than normal but despite that it was good but I personally couldn't finish it all. My mouth was on fire ha. The corn bread was tasty too. A little on the drier side than other cornbread I've had but still good. We came back a second time and they accommodated my husband and baby on a booth meant for 3 or more people. Which was nice since we have a 4m old who can't sit up so we need a car seat. It's a great place for your BBQ fix.

Walked up on this place and it was so packed, I soon understood why. I am a BBQ guy, I look for good Que everywhere I travel. This hidden gem in Norco had me shaking my head like where are we, Dallas? Memphis? Seriously folks, no lie. Great Bbq feel on the inside, rustic, welcoming. Line moved fast and service was friendly and they were patient and gentle with me...it was my first time. Cali Sammy was monsterous! Huge with a ton of flavor, better have a big mouth for this one. Triple threat with brisket, smoked wings and turkey, yes, smoked turkey was on point. I love smoked turkey but it is so hard to find and sometimes dry, not at Badlands! Had to order a jalapeno cheddar sausage too, just for good measure. Potato salad and beans rocked it and cornbread was good, again, moist. If you haven't been here go, don't wait, don't ask your mom, don't pass go and collect $200, just go! Best BBQ IN Corona area for sure, I on the overall list in the IE!

Wasn't expecting to come here for lunch. After a day at a car event and hanging out with friends, this was a wonderful suggestion. Made for a perfect place to hang out and enjoy some excellent food. Granted seating is limited, so large groups may be difficult to accommodate. So I chose the Louisiana Hot Link plate, and was not disappointed. The sauces are flavorful and the sides are excellent. This is definitely a go back to kind of place. The staff was pleasant and the food was exceptional.

The baked potato with pulled chicken at Badlands Barbecue is absolutely amazing--definitely a must-try! Pair it with their fried pickles with jalapeños, the flavorful barbecue chicken salad, and the spicy, savory jalapeño cheddar link for a fantastic meal.The customer service is outstanding, adding to the overall great experience. However, make sure you arrive early--this popular spot gets busy and often sells out of their delicious offerings. Don't miss out!

Great food, good service and yummy barbecue food. They catered at my work place. What more can you ask for? I highly recommend it

First time here...Getting out of the car you can smell barbecue smoke. Smells good too.., Walking up to the place the fingerprints all over the glass door stood out and and the door handle was sticky.. Once inside the place was clean.. We walked in just after opening.. The Staff were super friendly.. We ordered and shared the three meat platter.. With two sides of the jalapeno mac and cheese. We did pork ribs, brisket, and cheddar jalapeno sausage, and piece of cornbread..The pork ribs were fire.. 10 of 10 for me.. I barbecue a lot and I was impressed with how fall off the bone good they were. The brisket was tender and passed the bend test.. Didn't taste much smoke on it, was tender and used the memphis sauce on the table to add some flavor... The sausage was a bit tough, but had great smoke flavor and flavor.. The mac and cheese was cold.. Is that normal? Don't get me wrong, it was good, but if had been warm or hot it would have been great.. We ordered the trio with two drinks and was close to the $40 mark and was good.. Thank You...

My favorite food genre...BBQ. So wherever I come across a BBQ place, we stopping. This was good....real good. My husband is picky with certain meats cause he can smoke a excellent Brisket (yes I just toot tooted his horn....go babe) but even he said the food was good. Great atmosphere I always love it when a place feels down to earth. It's ready for a finger lickin' mess. Customer service was great. Drop by if you in the area.

Food was delicious, it was a busy Sunday evening but despite how busy they were our food was made to perfection. It was our first time and will be back again soon.
