My family and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. In our party we had the Cubano sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, tri-tip, chicken caesar salad, and mac and cheese. Everything tasted great. Temperature of the food was perfect. We were seated immediately upon entering and the waiter was very attentive. I think the prices are fairly comparable to other restaurants. As we were ready to leave, they began a trivia night which other customers seemed to really enjoy. I would definitely recommend The Heritage.

Feels like home from the moment you walk in to the minute you leave. Not sure why there are so bad marks but isolated for sure. From the great DJ (loved his vibes) playing alll the oldies making us jam out In the sun to the cold beer! What are you waiting for?!? Get down here, bring your friends and grab your grandparents. They need good bbq too with some Vitamin D, queso & chips. No bad seat in the house. Belly up to the beautiful bar or bring your girlfriends and meet someone new. Overall we can't wait to come back and feel those beautiful Dago vibes with icy cold beer and savory bbq!

This was our first time visiting Heritage Beer Co Brewery & Barbecue. The ambiance was nice, and the customer service was great.

Delicious meal, delicious beer, and professional service. Who could want more? We had: barbecue chicken sandwich, smoked half chicken, brisket macaroni and cheese (quite spicy) and the Cubano sandwich. Thank you for having such a nice facility and such delicious food.

This is the second location of the famous original San Juan Capistrano location where barbecue cultists line up hours before opening. No need to line up for hours here, thankfully. Most of our food was great. Our server was terrific. I really don't get the negative reviews. The chips and queso appetizer was very good but the queso was much more like a bean dip than a cheese dip. I mean, "queso" literally means "cheese" so let's make this a cheese dip. The non-queso bean dip was still good and the chips were fantastic. We tried a two-meat combo platter with brisket (very tender) and sausage. The sausage was extraordinary. It might have been the best sausage I have ever tried. For our sides, we went with the elote (very fresh) and the charro beans which were decent and not exactly charro beans. The beans were also very spicy. The Carolina sandwich, made with pulled pork and slaw, is incredible. It's just a juicy, tender, flavor bomb. And the mac and cheese side dish is outstanding. They also have interesting draft beers and creative cocktails. They will also turn any cocktail into a mocktail, if you ask. So, yeah, not everything was incredible. But overall, the food was really good and the service was excellent. And we didn't spend two hours in line to enjoy some good barbecue.

Service was great, very attentive and personable. The beef dip was so delicious. The breast had a little crunch on the outside but was so soft inside. The meat had excellent flavor and the fries were top notch. The only downside was my son ordered the kids rib plate and was unable to eat it because the black pepper rub. The waitress noticed and comped the meal. All in all, we will be back.

Overall had a good experience and decent bbq. They allow dogs inside which is nice since we like to take our pup with us on the weekends. We went on a Sunday and it wasn't super crowded or busy. They had a DJ playing music and football games on the TVs. We ordered the two meat combo and it was enough food for two of us to share. We ordered the brisket and tri tip with mac n cheese and potato salad as our 2 sides. The brisket was very good, it was juicy and not dry. The tri tip was served cold and we found that strange, so not our favorite. The sides were good portion and flavorful.

After visiting the supermarket I didn't feel like making dinner - funny how that happens - so I came in for a snack. Four different sports on the giant TVs was a little overwhelming but good if you're into that, I guess. I had their double unfiltered ipa (as I recall) and a French dip sandwich with side Caesar. The beer was good, the salad was fine. I liked the sandwich, and I paid attention to the beef which was nicely smoked and tasty. The staff was helpful and attentive. I have simple needs.
