Reviews for Westwoods BBQ & Spice Co in Fresno, CA
This place is GREAT!! My husband and I were on our way back from Yosemite National Park and saw the big BBQ sign from the... freeway. Having lived in Texas for a long time, we decided we had to try this place. The cocktails were amazing. I tried thePumpkin Pie martini. It was sooo good. But then?I tried the Apple Pie cocktail and it was THE BEST cocktail I have had yet. Youhave to try both of these! The food was really good. We got the jalapeño cornbread, burnt ends plate and ribs plate. YUM! Wewill definitely be back! Read more
My gf would be angry at me for ordering chicken strips at a restaurant; until today. The chicken strips were amazing and... completely changed her perspective. And let me tell you, they were THAT good. So thank you for making ordering chicken stripsacceptable for me. At least at Westwoods. Read more
The atmosphere was pretty cool, trying to be like the BBQ restaurants in Texas. The mushroom rice pilaf was very dry and... scrapped from the end of the day pot. I did not get chives on my baked potato even though we paid for it, my peach Bellinialcohol drink was extremely on the sweeter bitter side. There was no pepper at our table, and we didn't receive the BBQ sauce weasked for. The food was okay overall. We also had to grab our own straws for our drinks and takeout box.. Read more
Went out with my family. Mind you they are from out of town. So we all tried westwoods. Its a nice place, I went when it was... claim jumpers. Its has nice seating, and good service....but theres a issue. The service during the day/lunch is great for theWoodward crowd and offices around. BUT the night service sucks. Chyna and Carlos were the hardest working ppl there that night.Carlos is cleaning the restrooms, hes got that thing hella clean, mind you its past closing.....we dont have our check in time.So after my dad received a burger with a bunch of stuff, *which should be on the side* he likes plain but hes old and needshelp. Chyna accommodated my dad by taking it off the check. My wife have better left her a good tip btw. Ive been in thefood/beer industry for over 15 yrs. I have lots off experience, but im a story teller and thats another day. Long story short.Its a family place, accommodate more familys. I love yosemite ranch, its a cool hiding spot and this place just lost its way atnight. Thanks. Read more
Service is amazing! The staff is great, the food taste greats and you won?t be disappointed. Potato skins are a must. The onion... rings give a great taste. The ribs are soft and delicious. If you haven?t tried it I recommend you do! Read more
Had the brisket burnt ends for the third time and it was bomb as always. The fat melts in your mouth and the meat is smoky and... tender. Potato salad was OK, but the green beans were pretty good, had a little bacon in it. Whenever I get up there, I alwaysstop in and treat myself with some delicious brisket. Can't wait for my next trip???? Read more
So we arrive here and the food smells great. Place looks clean and hostess is friendly. Server was cool initially. I'm gonna... start with everything that was good about the restaurant. We were seated pretty quickly and in front of the kitchen. On top ofbeing seated quickly we were also greeted quickly by our server and again the place was very clean looking. Food wise, thethings that were good were the potato skins, ice cream and our drinks. Everything else was not that great. Our server, Mayrafor some reason was very passive aggressive towards us. They were busy however even considering that she wasn't very attentivetowards us but was towards other tables. Our food didn't take that long to come out, maybe 30 minutes tops. It did sit on thecounter though for about 7 minutes until we actually received it. With that in mind our food was more warm than anything. Thedishes themselves looked and smelled good, I had the pulled pork sandwich and put my pickles on there with some onions and gotto eating. The pork was dry so not a very good start and the fries were way too salty. The pork also had little to no flavor. Ihad cut the sandwich in half and by the time I was finished with the first half I was considering just straight up walking out.I asked for bbq sauce (don't know why it wouldn't come with a bbq dish) but it did save the second half of the sandwich a bit,enough that I was willing to pay just because its what I should do not because it was worth it. My girlfriend had the tri-tipsandwich and that had little to no flavor meat wise and she didn't get far into hers before deciding that she wouldn't finishit. After that we figured there was no way you could mess up an Apple Crisp but I guess anything is possible. Because the AppleCrisp was not crispy/crunchy at all and if anything it was soft and soggy, mind you the ice cream hadn't even started meltingyet. Despite the clean appearance of the restaurant it did come into question if it really was due to Read more
We ordered pretty quickly and they accommodated us with a different table as it was pretty cold near the door and I had more... elderly company with me. The server was nice and informative. The only negative was the fact that the beans were not my cup oftea since I have never thought tomatoes would go into baked beans. But to each their own. The chicken was amazing as well. AlsoI hope to see Apple Pay in the future! Read more
