Ribbro BBQ is highly praised for its tender brisket, ribs, and pork belly burnt ends, with many customers claiming it's the best BBQ in the area and a close match to Texas BBQ. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere contribute to a positive dining experience.
Tip: Try the brisket and pork belly burnt ends. The cornbread with honey butter is also a must!
Good bbq takeout. Beef Brisket was our favorite, so extremely tender. Cornbread with honey butter is a must!
really didn’t look like it would be so tasty from the outside. But it is phenomenal brisket cooked to perfection. And the burnt ends are tasty too. Kimchi slaw and dirty rice decent. Overall best bbq in the area by far, price and quality.
Nice to have another choice to get some 'que when you have that craving. Easy to find parking. When you walk in, they will greet you with a friendly welcome. You are also treated to a nice smokey smell from the smoked meat. Good assortment on the menu of plates and sandwiches, as well as being able to purchase meat by the pound. Staff was very friendly and informative. You place your order and they will deliver to your table when ready. Since this was my first visit here, I ordered a combo plate to sample the smoked goods. Also comes with two sides. I got the veggies and the dirty rice. They have a counter with utensils and various bbq sauces and even a sink to wash your hands! Atmosphere is pleasing. The meats were excellent. Tender, smokey, and delicious. Texas toast was OK. I would highly recommend it if looking for a bbq fix. My wife also really enjoyed the meal and the location.
Love this restaurant. So glad I don’t have to drive down to Phil’s BBQ anymore. The brisket here is always so tender you don’t need a knife and can cut it with a plastic fork. The ribs are also delicious. The Texas toast is buttered to perfection. The mac & cheese is heavenly. The BBQ sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. Workers/owners are super nice and helpful. They offer suggestions when you don’t know what to order. Food comes out quickly (and gets devoured just as quick). Atmosphere is very homey. Prices are very reasonable for this kind of BBQ. I’ve only come here on weekdays for dinner and it has never been crowded. I hope this restaurant stays open for a long time. One of my favorite places to go to. Highly recommend if you’re in the OC area.
From the moment you walk into this place, you smell the warmth of the wood fires in the kitchen and you know, immediately, it's going to be good. Korean styled American BBQ is not only a brilliant idea on paper, but in application, and comes to form in delicious tender meats that melt in your mouth. The flat-cut fries also hold all the qualities of a perfect fry. Crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The few people I interacted with to pickup my order from were incredibly sweet and helpful, which just put the cherry on top of the whole thing. This is absolutely a new favorite spot for me, and I cannot wait to come back!
This place has the best BBQ, you can't go wrong with any of the items. Must try pulled pork, brisket and the lettuce ssam pork belly plate. Dont forget to ask for the toasted garlic bread.
Repeating buyer. Every thing is great. Easy & quick drive from Irvine: Irvine Blvd then Alton to Foothill Ranch.

I had the brisket and pork belly burnt ends. Both were delicious. I also had the Mac n cheese, BBQ beans and corn bread. All on point. The brisket was definitely my favorite. Smells amazing when you walk in also. I will return when im in the area.
I ordered a brisket sandwich combo and it was BUSSIN!!! When I walk in I smell that bbq goodness. Didn’t have to wait too long for my combo. What’s also cool is they have a lot of hand sanitizer and napkins because bbq can get messy. Best bbq in foothill ranch
Closest thing to Texas BBQ you will have outside TX. The best brisket ever. Fries are unique and amazing. Chicken was perfect. Our new go to place.
First of all as soon as we walked in "The Smell" of Bar-b-q and that smoke reminded us of those Bar-b-q joints in the hood....... tasty right off the top. And that's exactly what it was , real tasty! The sauce selections were the bomb 😋. We're hook. It was our first time going so I do have to say maybe it taste so good because we were so hungry at the time, but AnyWhooooo I'll gave it a 10👍🏼up!
My wife and I are visiting from Texas and did not expect to find a great BBQ place, but we did. The Ribs & brisket were tender with a great smokey flavor. The pork belly burnt ends were absolutely delicious & tender. Will definitely eat here again next time we are visiting.
I have four kids 1.5-12 years old and went here for the first time, at the request of my son, for his birthday. He loves ribs. We were not sure what to order or how much, and the owner or manager gave us good advice on what to get and how to order it, making sure to include ribs and Mac n cheese for my little ones. It was the perfect amount for all 6 of us and wasn’t as expensive as getting an entire family meal, so she really helped us out. The meat was great, and the sauce options are varied and delicious. It’s neat and clean, although a little sunny in the afternoon-evening. It also was ready really fast which is super helpful when you got hungry impatient kids. They also give you free garlic toast with every meal! I wish I had time to stay for the dessert, but we will definitely be returning to try more items next time. 🍗😋🍰
Great Brisket Barbecue Sandwich with tasty coleslaw and potato salad. Secret Barbecue Sauce had great flavor. Beverage Bar great with crushed ice and multiple ices tea and soda options. Staff were welcoming, friendly and customer service oriented. Best Barbecue we have had in California. We were hesitant to go because location was a former Dickies, RibBro is real Barbecue, we will be back!
Good bbq! There’s a lady that’s does a little bit of everything. Take your order, cashier, answer the phone, clean the tables, pack to go, etc. LOL. She needs some extra help but she was very attentive and nice. The chef came out and turned on Cocomelon for my daughter on one of their big TVs. She beamed with joy! Back to the food : solid BBQ and a great addition to the Lake Forest area.

My friend and his wife invited my wife and me to RIBBRO BBQ in Foothill Ranch for lunch, and we had a pleasant time. The restaurant offers Texas-style BBQ, though it’s not quite as authentic as what you’d find in Texas—but that’s perfectly fine. The ribs were slightly dry but still acceptable, and I hope they can improve on that in the future. On the other hand, the dirty rice was flavorful. The portion sizes are just right for one person, making the meal satisfying without being overwhelming. The service was great! The server even mentioned that we could ask to have the bread toasted, which was a nice touch. Overall, it was a great experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back!
Came here at 2pm as Google suggested it's the best BBQ that is open on a Monday. The sauce bar is amazing! Comes with a sink for messy ribs, gloves for the mess.. Pickles and peppers.. 3 sauces and bread. Family ordered Mac N cheese which is shells and extra cheesy.. The beans were peppered right.. We ordered burnt ends and they were candied not too sweet. The brisket was tender and ready for the 3 sauces.. Ribs were so soft not effort to pull off the bone which softened thr marrow for those that like that.. Comes right out. Chicken was glazed and crispy and the meat was juicy and soft..as a foodie I don't perfect scores often and the only knock this day was the restaurant didn't have the AC running so it was hot.. But everyone greated you and they give you space to eat.. Granted most of it after you order is self serve. Same for the to go boxes just grab what you need.
We got a combo plate, pulled pork was excellent topped with their secret bbq sauce. Brisket was also delicious great smoke flavor. Great service . Will definitely come back !
This is in the old Dickeys location. Glad they are gone to be honest. As soon as you walk in, you smell the BBQ smoke. Lovely !! We ordered a 3 meat combo - brisket, ribs, and sausage. With grilled vegetables and potato salad. The brisket was good. Not great. It was missing flavor. Salt. Seasoning. Also missing some fat which makes brisket so good. The ribs were Ok. They lacked flavor. Again no salt or seasoning. The sausage was tasty. I would like to see some grill marks on the sausage. It lacked color or punch. The potato salad was GREAT. Really enjoyed it. My wife did not like the grilled vegetables. We loved the ambiance. The music was smooth. Nice. I think I would come back. The place is nice. And wish them success !

If you want a good legitimate bbq place, this isn’t it. I have found that if the sides red beans and rice, collard greens, corn bread, and Mac and cheese, it ain’t gon hit. I ordered a Pulled Pork sandwich with a side of Mac and coleslaw. Sandwich was decent but needed some more seasoning/a more flavorful sauce. Mac was not great as it was not creamy, or cheesy. It was a little pastey. Coleslaw was ok but I’ve never been a big fan of coleslaw. I knew I messed up when I sad down and seen “Vegan Friendly” on the window. Vegans don’t belong anywhere near a real bbq spot. I wouldn’t tell you not to go it you want some good food but I’d tell you not to come here if you wanted a legitimate soul food experience.

# Maka Poke en Ladera Ranch: Un Viaje Culinario a la Frescura Hawaiana en el Corazón de una Comunidad Vibrante
Ladera Ranch, una joya en el sur de California conocida por su estilo de vida familiar y su compromiso con la comunidad y el bienestar, alberga una propuesta gastronómica que resuena perfectamente con su espíritu: Maka Poke. Ubicado en este dinámico barrio, Maka Poke no es solo un restaurante; es un destino culinario que invita a los comensales a explorar la riqueza de los sabores hawaianos en un entorno moderno y accesible. Este artículo se adentra en lo que hace de Maka Poke una parada obligatoria, explorando la esencia del poke, la cultura que lo rodea y cómo encaja armónicamente en el tejido de Ladera Ranch.
Para comprender verdaderamente la propuesta de Maka Poke, es esencial sumergirse en la historia y la cultura del poke. El poke, que significa "cortar en trozos" en hawaiano, es mucho más que una simple ensalada de pescado crudo; es una tradición culinaria arraigada en las islas del Pacífico, con siglos de historia. Originalmente, el poke era el sustento de los pescadores hawaianos, quienes cortaban el pescado fresco que capturaban, lo sazonaban con sal marina, algas marinas y nueces kukui tostadas y trituradas (inamona), y lo consumían como un refrigerio rápido y nutritivo.
La evolución del poke refleja la rica historia multicultural de Hawái. Con la llegada de inmigrantes de Asia (especialmente japoneses, chinos y filipinos) en el siglo XIX y principios del XX, nuevos ingredientes y técnicas culinarias se fusionaron con la receta original. El arroz se convirtió en un acompañamiento común, las salsas a base de soja y sésamo hicieron su aparición, y una variedad de verduras frescas y aderezos comenzaron a complementar el pescado. Esta fusión dio origen al poke moderno que conocemos hoy, una explosión de sabores umami, texturas y frescura que ha trascendido las fronteras de Hawái para conquistar paladares en todo el mundo.
El poke no es solo comida; es una expresión de la filosofía de vida hawaiana, conocida como "Aloha Spirit". Se trata de respeto por la tierra y el mar, aprecio por los ingredientes frescos y un sentido de comunidad. Cada tazón de poke cuenta una historia de pesca sostenible, de la generosidad del océano y de la creatividad culinaria que se ha transmitido de generación en generación. Maka Poke, al ofrecer este plato ancestral, se convierte en un embajador de esta rica herencia cultural en Ladera Ranch, brindando una ventana a la gastronomía de las islas.
En las últimas décadas, el poke ha experimentado un renacimiento espectacular, transformándose de un manjar local hawaiano a una tendencia culinaria global. Este resurgimiento se debe a varios factores clave que resuenan profundamente con las preferencias alimentarias contemporáneas. En primer lugar, la creciente conciencia sobre la salud y el bienestar ha impulsado la demanda de opciones de comida fresca, nutritiva y baja en calorías. El poke, con su base de pescado magro rico en omega-3, abundancia de vegetales y opciones de granos integrales, se alinea perfectamente con este movimiento.
Además, el formato de "construye tu propio tazón" ha sido fundamental para su popularidad. Los comensales modernos buscan personalización y control sobre lo que comen, y el poke ofrece una versatilidad incomparable. Desde la elección de la base (arroz de sushi, arroz integral, quinoa, o una cama de vegetales), el tipo de proteína (atún Ahi, salmón, camarones, tofu), hasta una miríada de aderezos y salsas, cada tazón de poke puede ser una creación única que se adapta a gustos y restricciones dietéticas individuales. Esta experiencia interactiva y personalizable no solo es atractiva, sino que también permite a los restaurantes de poke mantener sus ingredientes frescos y de alta calidad, ya que se preparan a pedido.
El atractivo visual del poke también juega un papel importante. Los tazones de poke son intrínsecamente coloridos y estéticamente agradables, lo que los convierte en el alimento perfecto para la era de las redes sociales. Las combinaciones vibrantes de pescado rojo, aguacate verde, algas oscuras y aderezos brillantes son una invitación visual a una experiencia culinaria deliciosa y saludable.
Finalmente, la conveniencia es un factor decisivo. En un mundo acelerado, la gente busca comidas rápidas que no comprometan la calidad ni el sabor. El poke ofrece la rapidez de la comida rápida con la calidad y los beneficios de una comida casera y saludable, lo que lo convierte en una opción ideal para almuerzos de trabajo, cenas informales o simplemente un bocado nutritivo sobre la marcha. Maka Poke capitaliza todas estas tendencias, ofreciendo una experiencia culinaria que es a la vez moderna, saludable y profundamente arraigada en la tradición.
Ladera Ranch es una comunidad planificada maestra en el Condado de Orange, California, que se distingue por su énfasis en el estilo de vida activo, la vida familiar y un fuerte sentido de comunidad. Con sus numerosos parques, senderos para caminar y andar en bicicleta, piscinas comunitarias y una multitud de eventos locales, los residentes de Ladera Ranch valoran la salud, la actividad al aire libre y las opciones de vida de alta calidad. Es en este contexto donde Maka Poke encuentra su lugar ideal.
La filosofía de Maka Poke se alinea intrínicamente con los valores de Ladera Ranch. El restaurante se posiciona como un proveedor de comidas saludables, frescas y personalizables, que son esenciales para una comunidad que prioriza el bienestar. Los residentes de Ladera Ranch buscan opciones que no solo sean deliciosas, sino también nutritivas y convenientes para sus ajetreados estilos de vida. Maka Poke responde a esta necesidad ofreciendo una alternativa vibrante a las opciones de comida rápida tradicionales, permitiendo a las familias y a los individuos disfrutar de una comida rápida sin sacrificar la calidad o los beneficios para la salud.
La elección del nombre "Maka" puede interpretarse como un guiño a la autenticidad hawaiana, aunque su significado específico para el restaurante puede variar. En hawaiano, "maka" puede significar "ojo" o "cara", y en algunos contextos, puede implicar el "centro" o el "foco". Si bien no podemos afirmar una intención específica detrás del nombre de este establecimiento, la resonancia cultural de un nombre hawaiano para un restaurante de poke refuerza su compromiso con la tradición y la autenticidad del plato. Maka Poke se convierte así en un punto focal para la comida fresca y saludable dentro de la comunidad, un lugar donde los residentes pueden reunirse y disfrutar de una experiencia culinaria que nutre tanto el cuerpo como el espíritu.
El ambiente en Maka Poke, aunque no se especifica, se puede inferir que complementa el estilo de vida relajado y acogedor de Ladera Ranch. Es probable que sea un espacio moderno, limpio y acogedor, diseñado para ofrecer una experiencia de comedor informal pero de alta calidad. Ya sea para un almuerzo rápido, una cena familiar o una comida para llevar después de un día en los senderos, Maka Poke ofrece una solución culinaria que se integra perfectamente en la rutina diaria de los habitantes de Ladera Ranch.
La esencia de la experiencia en Maka Poke, como en la mayoría de los restaurantes de poke de calidad, reside en la capacidad de los comensales para crear su propio tazón personalizado. Este proceso intuitivo y divertido garantiza que cada plato sea exactamente lo que el cliente desea, adaptado a sus preferencias de sabor y necesidades dietéticas.
El viaje comienza con la elección de una base. Las opciones suelen incluir arroz de sushi blanco, arroz integral para una opción más saludable y con más fibra, o una cama de vegetales mixtos para aquellos que prefieren una alternativa baja en carbohidratos. Esta primera decisión establece el tono para el resto del tazón.
A continuación, la estrella del espectáculo: la proteína. El atún Ahi, un pescado firme y sabroso, es la opción clásica y más popular, a menudo marinado en una salsa de soja y sésamo. El salmón, con su textura suave y sabor rico en omega-3, es otra elección favorita. Para aquellos que buscan algo diferente, el camarón cocido o el tofu marinado ofrecen alternativas deliciosas y aptas para vegetarianos o veganos. La frescura del pescado es primordial en un restaurante de poke, y Maka Poke se esfuerza por asegurar que sus ingredientes sean de la más alta calidad, capturando la esencia del océano.
Luego viene la selección de aderezos, que es donde la creatividad realmente florece. Las opciones son casi ilimitadas y pueden incluir:
Finalmente, una selección de salsas une todos los elementos. Las opciones clásicas incluyen la salsa ponzu (cítrica y a base de soja), salsa de soja tradicional, salsa picante de mayonesa (spicy mayo), salsa sriracha, o aderezos más exóticos como la salsa de anguila dulce. La combinación de estos elementos crea una sinfonía de sabores y texturas que hacen de cada bocado una delicia.
La experiencia en Maka Poke no es solo sobre la comida, sino también sobre la nutrición. El poke es inherentemente saludable, proporcionando una excelente fuente de proteínas magras, grasas saludables (especialmente omega-3 del pescado), vitaminas, minerales y fibra de los vegetales. Es una comida equilibrada que energiza el cuerpo sin la pesadez de otras opciones de comida rápida. Para la comunidad activa de Ladera Ranch, esto es un gran atractivo, ya que permite a los residentes disfrutar de una comida deliciosa y satisfactoria que apoya su estilo de vida saludable.
