Goodland BBQ

"I got really excellent food at Goodland BBQ. The ribs were perfect and the sauce was delicious. I think the service was great and the atmosphere was a classic barbecue dive and very cute. Fast service, good for takeout"

"A small counter served BBQ establishment. Not much in the way of atmosphere but relaxed and friendly. The food was excellent. Went for pulled pork but they were already out. Brisket was excellent."

"We met some long time friends here and it was very good. The BBQ was quite tasty and good. The sides especially the potato salad was excellent. Staff was friendly and helpful. Atmosphere was lacking. Prices were reasonable but high due to this darn inflation. Nice spot and we'd return if we were in the area again."

"First time eating here, and I ordered the “3 Meat Combo” (I picked pork belly, brisket, & pork ribs) and “Sliders w/ BBQ & Slaw”. This was for take-out, so I drove 40 minutes round trip to pick up my order. Not only didn’t they forget both the included side dishes (meaning the “3 Meat Combo” ended up being just “3 Meat”), but the “pork ribs” consisted of a single rib! One single rib! Fortunately, when I ordered, I was hungry enough to pay the extra 70% for “3 Meat”, versus their similar “1 Meat Combo”. But imagine if I had settled for the “1 Meat Combo”, and received a single rib for $15! The fact that they forgot my sides was just icing on the cake. Oh I was asked to choose a salad dressing when I ordered. I received no salad. Otherwise, the food was hit or miss. The pork belly was tender and flavorful, but the portion size was lacking: two disappointingly small slices. The brisket was decent, and I was given a fair amount, but it certainly didn’t melt in my mouth (perhaps cooked earlier and reheated?). The sliders seemed like some thought went into them, but the meat was dry, with hardly any sauce. If you’ve got a craving for BBQ, this might be your only option in town. But I probably won’t eat here again."

"Just ordered this yesterday from DoorDash and my god this is what I’ve been looking for in Santa Barbara/Goleta for years a good barbecue spot The meat was so tender and just melted in your mouth although the tri-tip was a little dry I did order it very late towards the end of the day but it was still freaking good if you’re reading this review stop and go get some yourself definitely recommend I can’t wait till I get it again also got a burger fries are fresh and yummy burger was 8/10"
