There are tons of mom-and-pop and so-called “hole-in-the-wall” restaurants abound throughout the Golden State, some fairly forgettable and some that leave you always wanting more. Of course, we are always on the lookout for the latter, and this one is a no-brainer. Humble in appearance but big on flavor, this incredible BBQ restaurant in Southern California is a true local gem.
Westside Pit BBQ, located in Rialto and serving surrounding areas, is deeply rooted in family and its story is proudly displayed on the dining room wall.
Optimus Prime/Google Local As a child, the owner observed his parents selling their home-cooked barbecue in their own neighborhood before opening a restaurant by the same name, Westside Pit BBQ, where they treated customers like friends.
From the barbecued meats to the classic sides to the enticing desserts, this is comfort food at its best, made with recipes that have come from three families over six generations. Blending fried fish, Southern soul food, and traditional barbecue, Westside promises to keep you coming back for more.

The menu is just extensive enough to have something for everyone, including combos that will feed the whole family and sides to round out every meal. You can even take a taste of Westside home with you by purchasing a mild, medium, or “very hot” bottle of delicious barbecue sauce.
