Best KPortal Reviews

Ribs have plenty of meat, but to my taste a bit dry and chewy. I like more tender and more moisture ribs meat. Salads were good and fresh, but really small. Staff was friendly. OK for one time, but won’t drive here specially for ribs for $30+…pricy… Other restaurants offer more and better for the same price.
We ordered a combination of pulled pork and beef brisket. These came with two side orders. The side orders were ridiculously tiny (1/4 of a cup max for each of a total of two tiny containers aside from the meat). The potato salad side had about 10 small chunks of potato, and the green beans side had about 15 tiny pieces of chopped green beans!! Like, reallyyy!!! These two extra small side orders were for two adults. Basically, we paid $40 for the meat only. They also had ran out of corn bread. Again, the servings were very odd. Although servers and service was nice, the servings were really disappointing. For the price we paid, I rather go to Lucille's BBQ House without hesitation. We will not return to Whisky Flats. The containers were as flat. Spend your money somewhere else.
The meat is delicious (sides are so so to not great), but I have had 2 experiences where I have been cheated so greatly that I cannot come back, which is a shame.
- this review is a year late -
Ordered 3 of the 2 meat trays and received LESS meat than the standard trays. That’s a lot of wasted money. I called and was offered to get it replaced, but with the limited days open and my drive time, I was unable to make it down in a timely manner.
The second experience was more recent and most egregious! I placed my order over the phone for 4 trays and picked it up later in the day. When we got the total, it seemed very very high. We paid, but I was adding each item up only to find that we were over charged $60!! $10, even $20 seems like an honest mistake, considering the Pacific St set up, but $60 seems intentional. Got refunded, but that’s not the point. Had I not been paying attention or someone else picked up the order and didn’t know…
I enjoy the food here but with these two costly mistakes we are done.
I love their new location on Gaffey! Such great folks! Good BBQ. Love their brisket, ribs, chili and cornbread!
Even though I haven’t had too much barbecue in my lifetime, I was highly impressed. You get an outdoor eating experience and leave smelling like barbecue. For service, the staff is friendly and welcome first timers. By far, the best cut of meat that I tried was the brisket.
I ordered the 2 plate meal with brisket and ribs and shared it. It comes with 2 sides, and I had the potato salad and coleslaw. The barbecue tastes homemade and has a nice tang to it, so if you’re expecting a sweet and dense barbecue sauce, it’ll be a lovely surprise because it pairs so well with the barbecue. The coleslaw is not your average mayo coleslaw, rather it has an Asian flare with cashew and cranberries. The cornbread is chef’s kiss, as it blends a yellow cake texture and flavor with the traditional recipe.
After discovering this gem, I’ll definitely be coming back for more and try the pulled pork.
San Pedro was good to us today... especially when it came to the bbq at our last stop before driving back to San Diego, @whiskeyflats_bbq! Bbq is a hard one to say one place has the best because every spot has their thing. Well... @whiskeyflats_bbq thing is the seasoning! Look at picture, you can taste that seasoning! It's just a small spot that serves bbq like Texas (probably better) The folks working there are super chill too!
This plate was calling my name! The breakdown:
3 Meat 2 Sides:
The ribs were tenders and fell off the bone. Flavor ????????????????????????
The Chicken was tenderfully seasoned and I got some of the crunchy skin! You already know! ????????????????????????
The brisket was my favorite of all 3 meats! All of the above and the fat was filled with the flavorful juices of the seasoning! ????????????????????????
No doubt about it, it's no wonder they were voted best bbq on the beach for 2022! Make sure you check them out next time you are in San Pedro! 10/10 recommend!
The last picture is just of how I parked my car. Can't get any closer than that parallel parking!
Catered ribs for new years and they were fantastic. Looking forward to trying everything else soon!
The meat was cooked to perfection. They had the perfect amount of chard and seasoning. The greens were good and seasoned. The Mac and cheese, banana pudding and beans were not all to good bland and no real flavor. The beans are also made with chickpeas. The BBQ is more of a vinegar base so has a more of a tangy and liquid consistency than other sauces. Overall there was a nice portion of meat and sides for the price.
