After seeing this on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives, I just had to follow in my man Guy Fieri's footsteps and I wasn't disappointed. Pulled pork sandwich with fries - bangin'. Blonde beer - thirst quenching. Mango margarita - delicious. Looking and smelling what other people were having made my mouth water. Go to Shalhoob's and get some good BBQ food.

The food was presented nicely and tasted great. The staff was friendly and attentive. The cashier took the time to help us pick what to order and we are greatful for her suggestions. This place has outdoor sitting only (heads up), but we enjoyed our visit!

We had the tritip, mac and cheese with pulled pork and handcut fries with aioli and some cocktails. The cocktails were very good and packed a punch. The tritip was excellent, such a great flavor. The pickles and tomato side was to die for, the toasted bread went so great with the tritip. The mac and cheese was the best we ever had, so creamy and full of flavor. Shoutout to the best bbq sauce we ever had. Excellent service, Johnny is the best!

Took a party of 3 to Shalhoob's patio for some outdoor seating and late lunch on a Sunday. They were out of traditional tables but we were able to sit at barrels converted to be tables. Not super comfortable, but functional. The tri tip was tender and delicious. The burgers were great. Beer on tap was pretty good too. It isn't exactly full service, but, they bring the food to you and there's plenty of shade on the patio. Definitely recommend.

Stumbled upon this place randomly while visiting Santa Barbara and was very pleasantly surprised by everything. Food was very tasty, the service was friendly, and the location and ambiance were pretty good. It helped that they are dog-friendly as well. Highly recommend the bbq chicken and the nachos.

Best Food Ever the tri tip sandwich was out of this world. Definitely coming back. Tri Tip was super flavorful and marinated in a sweet tangy BBQ sauce. The fries are great. 10/10 rating on the resturant. Highly recommend.

Stopped here for a quick lunch on the way up north. We ordered the pork ribs, tri-tip, and mac&cheese. Food and staff were great. Be prepared to wait as it can get busy, but service was fast.

Was searching for a sandwich and came to the right spot!! We got the tri tip and turkey sandwiches. Both were sooo tasty! Good beers too. Servers were super friendly. To note- only outdoor seating here which I’m sure is usually fine but of course we came when it was raining and windy. There are some seats under coverage.
