Santa Maria BBQ - the best BBQ anywhere, and Thursdays through Sundays at the local Farmers Market. The tradition lives on! We feature original recipes from the 'Ol" south made fresh daily. We strive to make each dining an experience, each meal divine, and each customer in heaven. Beyond that, we work with local nonprofits to assist our Veterans, our children, and our seniors. We are committed to make this world a better place for everyone. Our food is slow-smoked with a proprietary rub, and several different barbecue sauces to choose from! We strive for excellence and quality!
The Santa Maria BBQ is located in an apartment complex owned by a non-profit for veterans and underprivileged individuals. We are passionate about our business and those who walk through our doors. If you're hungry - we have food, if you're thirsty - we have drinks, and if you're lonely - we have a family. We created this place to be somewhere anyone can get food, drink, and comfort.

Very disappointing. Not at all what we expected due to the reviews. We ordered tri tip dinner and brisket and chicken dinner. Only food that was tolerable was the brisket. Definitely won’t be back nor will we recommend.
