- Great food and service. Now I don't have to travel to Chuck's in Burbank. A lot closer. Great pull pork sandwiches. Get deluxe with Mac n cheese and mash potatoes.
Joe FlorenDecember 24, 2016GREAT food. Bbq beef, pulled pork or chicken, fresh fish. Whatever you like! Chucks specializes in Cajun/Mexican cuisine. A large beer list. Good breakfast too. The Sweet Potatoe Pancakes are Great!!
GeoffSeptember 3, 2013Great food! Pulled pork and ribs. The chicken had a nice smokey flavor as well!
I am coming back. The ribs and brisket were fantastic. The gumbo soup I had for a side was the best I have ever tasted--it was a very complex soup, but not overly filling--perfect.
Ralph CoglianeseOctober 21, 2015Had the Huevos ala Frontera and cafe a olla both were great. Known for its BBQ but has great breakfast too.
COLLEEN GLYNNMarch 28, 2019Everything is good here. The Cream of Chicken Rice is outstanding! The BBQ IS TO DIE FOR! Great turkey burger and the Mac and Cheese is amazing!
Thom BNovember 17, 2016I have only been here for breakfast. Huge portions and delicious. Cajun omelette is amazing.
Everything on their menus are good especially the breakfast.
Ribs, draft selection, brisket, smoked corn beef. All good.- Joe MathisAugust 23, 2019BBQ pulled pork sammie, seafood gumbo, and the Mountain Dew tap tasted very fresh!!!
Jason NicholsonAugust 1, 2015Everything is great, love the hot links, mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes.
Jennifer DowlingJune 9, 2013Berry cobbler was excellent. Actually everything was excellent. Try the crab cakes!!
The Pulled Chicken dinner isn't on the menu, but you can request it.
Pulled pork is delicious. Also try the grapefruit beer
- Plan on attending Chuck's 2nd BBQ Fest 1/24/14, the first one was a great success.
Mezcal voodoo margaritas is the way to go...no.doubt!
Conita ChangAugust 26, 2013Second time for us and they messed up the order the second time. Meals take too long to get to the table. Was not crowded at all. Not going back.
Rich StutteJuly 7, 2013Average. Everyone I talked to leaving says "its just okay". I'm guessing people live it cuz its new to town.
Sean DurkinNovember 2, 2013Chucks is ok. Very disappointed in the sauces. BBQ sauce tastes like perfume.

"It was a good place for 22LR ammo! It still might be if you get up a 0500 to get there when they open but then you might have to wait while they refill the case. These people are beyond stupid!"
