Santa Maria Style Tri Tip Sandwich San Luis Obispo 01

Winning Hearts and Awards

We believe that bringing folks together for great food and drinks is what community is all about. Being locals, we treasure our local community and the Central Coast — which is full of rich history, wonderful people, and unique flavors. 

We celebrate this by giving you authentic Santa Maria-style BBQ that we fuel with locally sourced red oak wood in our open fires. Our award-winning tri-tip is hand-trimmed Angus beef and we ensure our produce is organic and farmed right here on the Central Coast. There’s a reason that we are a local favorite and continue to win Best BBQ by the community.

Old Ranch Traditions

The unique method of Santa Maria-style barbecue is a 150-year-old tradition — born on the beautiful ranches of rural Santa Maria Valley as a simple, delicious way to bring people together. Old San Luis BBQ’s award-winning Santa Maria-style food consists of tried and true family recipes that date back nearly a century. 

In addition to our Angus beef tri-tip, pork, chicken, and linguiça sandwiches, we also offer salads, desserts, and delicious side dishes like our famous Cowboy CornPie. Have a passion for craft beers? So do we! Try out our innovative, self-pour tap walls with a variety of rotating taps at both of our locations!
