bb.q Chicken DT Riverside

One of the better bb.q locations we’ve been to. Very clean and the service is very nice/accommodating. The chicken bone-in pieces are large and the soy garlic and golden wing flavors are great! They use very flavorful kimchi for their kimchi fried rice.

Reason for visiting: visit my nephew at UCR Date/time of visit: Friday, ~11:00 AM Parking: there's street parking and parking lot; nothing free but to park for 90 mins, $1.50. We saw parking in the front of the restaurant before 11:00AM but when restaurant opened at 11, parking spots filled up quickly. Party size: 3 Environment/ambience: quiet; slower since it just opened at 11:00 AM. TV on but no sound; only music. Service: order at the front and they drop off. Food: had the Garlic Honey and Spicy Original wings; both were pretty good and good size. Really hot when they first come out 😀 Cost: ~$30 for about 16 wings Would I go back (yes/no): 70/30

This is hands-down the BEST BBQ Chicken location I’ve ever been to—and I’ve tried a lot. Every piece of chicken here is made fresh to order, and you can taste the difference immediately. Nothing sits under a heat lamp. The crunch is unreal, the meat is juicy, and the flavors hit hard in the best way. I ordered the Golden Original and Secret Spicy, and both were perfectly seasoned and fried to crispy perfection. It’s next-level Korean fried chicken. The interior is also super clean, modern, and welcoming—a major step up from other locations. It’s the kind of place you actually want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your food in. Service was fast and friendly, and even with everything made fresh, the wait wasn’t long at all. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. If you’ve tried BBQ Chicken before, trust me—this Riverside location is different. It’s on a whole other level. And if you haven’t been yet, you’re in for a treat. This place is now my go-to. I’ll be back again and again. 🔥🍗

I love coming here. I go here maybe like once every week LOL. The staff is super friendly and nice. I recommend ordering ahead of time because the wait time does take a bit (not complaining because that means it’s freshly made). Their kimchi fried rice with cheese is the best thing ever!! I love their soy garlic and the honey garlic chicken. Every time I come in, it’s always clean. There’s parking on the front of the store but its usually full there but there’s a parking structure across and there’s more parking on the back.

Well. This place just comes to show you that not all places franchises are created equal. Due to the poor experience I had at a different bb.q location, I was not willing to give this one another shot. However, I came with a group and so was not able to really back out of this visit; I'm glad I wasn't. This place was the complete opposite of what I experienced at the other location. Every bite of all the different flavors of chicken we ordered was delicious. The waffle fries were a crispy perfection. The young man rocking the Dodgers hat was completely attentive, making great suggestions and making us feel welcomed. This place is somewhat hidden but completely worth searching out. It is on the pricey end but honestly, what isn't nowadays? Give this place a shot.

We love B.B.Q Chicken! The chicken is fresh and spicy, and the kimchi fried rice is delicious. I absolutely recommend this place for any occasion!

Ate here as a last minute choice between 3 different restaurants I wanted to try. Didn’t have high hopes but damn if this is how they make fried chicken in Korea then sign me up and ship me out. The crispiness on the outside and tenderness on the inside made me want to spit on Colonel Sanders gravestone. It was so good I had to share with a neighbor and dude hates ethnic foods but looked at me like I had just found the original Quran. I got sweet and spicy.
