Went for a hike of Rubidoux and a friend recommended we try out Spirit. Staff was very friendly and hospitable. I tried out some experimental habanero wings, brisket, spicy Mac and cheese, and corn bread. Great flavor and meats were soft and smoky. We were talking too long and my food got cold, really saps the quality, but a quick reheat brought it back to life. I’ll definitely be back.

Wow! By far the best BBQ! Everything we had was packed with so much flavor! Customer service was excellent. The owner came to our table and introduced himself and checked how everything was. Even gave us a complimentary banana pudding. We will definitely be back. Come hungry! The beef rib is huge and can feed several people.
