The Smoked Meats: A Must-Try at Red House BBQ

Signature Dishes You Can’t Miss

Smoked low and slow for hours, the brisket is perfectly tender, full of flavor, and guaranteed to satisfy any BBQ lover’s cravings. If you prefer something with a bit more heat, their spicy pulled pork is an excellent choice, offering just the right balance of heat and smoky goodness.

Don’t forget about the BBQ ribs—succulent, tender, and glazed with a house-made sauce that hits all the right notes. If you’re a fan of the classics, you’ll appreciate the combination of flavors and textures that come with these signature dishes.

Hotel front desk staff specifically mentioned this place for dinner and we were not disappointed! We were there late on a weekday night so not crowded. Lots of interesting things to look at on the walls. Wait staff very friendly. Husband had the pork ribs and the brisket, both so very good. I had the catfish and we both had the fried okra. My husband said it was the best fried okra he had ever had! Would definitely come back next time we stay here!

First time there after a recommendation. Right when you walk in the smell is amazing! The staff are super nice, especially the sweetheart Asian lady that works up front. We ordered a few snacks and grabbed a quick beer. The fried pickle spears are amazing and the deep fried okra was just as good! You have to check this place out. Didn't get to try the bbq but all the plates I saw flying past me looked and smelled mouth watering

The tri tip here is delicious. Get there early if that's what you're looking for as they tend to run out later in the day. Service is good. Just be prepared to wait if you go in with more than 4 people. Indoor seating is limited. Outdoor seating is great if weather is good.

Great spot in Tehachapi. The ribs were incredible!! It doesn't look like much from the outside (a dive as Guy Fieri might call it) but the people are friendly and the food is great. Order at the counter and sit down to enjoy your delicious meal. Grab an Indian Fry Bread for dessert!! The BBQ is great and the sandwiches are good too. Price is really reasonable for the quality and amount of food.

Yummy as ever. Catfish and Mac n cheese can't be beat. I prefer weekday nights. Sweet cornbread is a new, wonderful addition.
