Bullpen BBQ and Tap House

jason Smith 2 months ago

I ordered a 2 meat combo with spare ribs and tri tip. The portions were so small. They gave me 2 ribs..... My wife ordered chicken and it was so dry she couldn't even chew it. Corn bread was good, sides were toddler size. Okra was a fairly large size and tasted fresh. Overall would not recommend this place to anyone that can eat more that a kids size meal.

pretty damn good. Their mac and cheese styles kinda different. I'm not a chef. The cheese is "gritty" i think like there's potatoes mixed into it or something idk. I'm not a chef. But it's very good. Meats are all good. Brisket is good. Also they have both baseball and basketball games on when the teams are playing.

Bull Pen BBQ in Santa Clarita is the kind of place that restores your faith in the ancient, smoke-filled religion of proper barbecue. The brisket arrives like it’s been through a long, honorable journey in the pit — smoky, tender, and sliced thick enough to remind you that patience still exists in this world. The BBQ chicken is a sticky, glorious mess in the best possible way, lacquered in sauce and cooked just right so every bite lands somewhere between sweet, smoky, and mildly addictive. Then there’s the mac and cheese, a dangerously creamy side dish that has no business being this good but somehow steals the spotlight anyway. Add a proper pint of Guinness on tap and suddenly the whole thing feels less like lunch and more like a small but meaningful victory. The service seals the deal — fast, friendly, and refreshingly human in a world of robotic takeout counters. In short, Bull Pen BBQ isn’t trying to reinvent barbecue. They’re just doing it right, which these days feels like a minor miracle

First thing, the food is so good I always demand more when I finish my plate but my wife says no! My wife and I placed a catering order for our wedding in December of 2025. The food was delivered on time and was kept warm with their heat trays that they had setup. The food is always great at Bullpen but it tasted extra tasty on our wedding, they even served the food! The owners of the restaurant are always there and is super friendly, same goes with all the staff! If you’re hungry and I want some good food for takeout or dining in I definitely suggest this place. It’s a hidden gem with a great location, plenty of parking and it’s clean inside and outside. Do the owners a favor and try out the food, I suggest the Tri - Tip, Beef Ribs and the smash burger.

I've been hearing about this place for a while and finally went in today for lunch. I went at an off time, just after lunch so I could see how things go in the down time. The place was clean, and we got smiles and a conversation as soon as we walked in from Jen. She was very helpful, gave us samples of some of the taps and told us to have a seat, if we needed, to take in the whole menu, which was extensive! We landed on a 3 meat trio and a couple of taps. We got pulled pork, brisket and chicken, beans and Mac & cheese. We didn't wait too long and it came out fresh and hot! We got a sampling of all their sauces and. I prefer the spicy BBQ, but they were all good. The Carolina sauce was surprisingly what a Carolina sauce should be like, but a bit better! We were pleasantly pleased with our food and Jen came by a few times to make sure we were good. A great conversationalist, we chatted and enjoyed our food. It was a super hot day, but nice & cool inside. Lots of screens for games, a group section for large parties and a little video game area with foosball, darts and some arcade games made it a well balanced place. Overall, the food was good, atmosphere was good and we will definitel
