3 Best Barbecue Restaurants in Simi Valley, CA

It’s our first time here my dad and I came to watch the FIFA World Cup Game Netherlands versus Japan. The amazing bartender name Rania was the first to greet us when we came in she’s very welcoming and friendly and has good recommendations on drinks. She made her own twist a custom drink with the strawberry taste very tropical and interesting recipe. If you like to try it ask her to make it for you. The other bartender Antonio was also amazing help us out as well with trying out the beers on draft. Our first time here one of the best experiences with such a nice atmosphere and friendly staff as well! The food and drink are amazing all the flavors that they come with.

Cork & Batter and Simi Valley Roadhouse are absolute gems for anyone seeking a welcoming dining experience. The moment you walk in, the amazing decor sets the perfect atmosphere, blending rustic charm with a modern touch that makes the space both cozy and vibrant. Their staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, creating a customer service experience that feels genuinely warm and personal. The highlight, of course, is their delicious house-smoked barbecue, which is packed with rich, smoky flavor and cooked to perfection. Pairing the food with their impressive selection of beers and adult beverages only enhances the experience, offering something for every palate. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a casual night out or celebrate a special occasion, these spots truly deliver on all fronts.

Just went out to celebrate my mom’s birthday, we had Jessica as our server and she was great! Super attentive, funny, nice, and helpful. It was our first time here, the drinks were amazing (and you could definitely taste the liquor so no light pours around here), the shrimp Mac n cheese was phenomenal as well. Great playlist tonight, overall great atmosphere. Definitely will be back with more friends and family.

I came here in the midafternoon. It was completely empty. The server, was helpful. I chose, instead of getting the all you can eat option, I ordered ala cart. I got the chicken with mixed veggies, fried rice, hot and sour soup and an iced tea. The soup came out first. It was really, really good hot and sour. The flavors were balanced and you could tell that someone put care into the preparation. Note that they only serve a two-person portion, so I had to take some home. The the fried rice and the chicken/veggies came. Also really tasty. The chicken was cooked perfectly. I appreciate small, family run places. The entire meal just hit the spot. I'll definitely be back.

If you want one of the best Mongolian bbq in Simi Valley, this is your spot. You can dine in or take your food to go. I did both. They have a good variety of dishes on their menu. They also have a Mongolian bbq bar where you can choose your own ingredients and have the chef cook it for you. The staff are very nice and so are the chefs. It’s a fun experience watching them cook. I got the take away with fried rice, noodles, beef broccoli and orange chicken. It was well seasoned and delicious. Parking is abundant here so no issues with that. It’s good for a large party as you can see from my pictures, it’s very spacious. Great place to grab lunch or dinner. I recommend.

The Family Mongolian BBQ’s “make your own lunch bowls” are a great buy. They offer a wide variety of meats, vegetables, sauces, plus noodles and a choice of sesame or bbq oils, plus tofu and peanuts, to choose your barbecue meal mix. We visited as a family and each of us had a different selection. Shrimp is available on weekends. The lunch includes a small egg-drop soup. If you’re a vegetarian you can put together a pure veggie bowl. Drinks are available for purchase. Robot FAM will bring over the water and any drinks you order besides the “pick your own.” Your bowl will be cooked on the grill in front of you while you wait. They bring the soup and the water to your table. Beyond that the service is minimal. The bowls are of a moderate size, thus the portions are as much as you can fill in the bowl. They also have “all you can eat” for those with larger appetites. For my family a bowl each has been more than sufficient. If you have anything leftover you box it for home- something you cannot do in an “all you can eat” meal. It’s a friendly and casual family restaurant, and affordable. Great value.
