The Wrangler Family Barbecue - El Cajon

Best family BQ ever! I was born and raised in this city and have come here for several decades with my family. you never eat disappointed. the ambiente is an old school like utah in the 60;s. the old type that cuts the meat has been there for a long time. I remember that 30 years ago I went there with my mother and my father and after the order discovered my father that he had not had this wallet on him. we were crushed until the guy said no care, they just pay me if they can. Who does that?! these people are so beautiful. their portions are good for a normal person and their BBQ sauce is absolutely brilliant! I'll hold back. until I die or they close the doors. it is not better and the prices are also reasonable. Thank you. wranger bbq

I had not been here for awhile thanks to the lockdown so went in and had my favorite; Ham Sandwich and fries and beans. My companions had the rib plate with coleslaw and mac salad and beef sandwich plate with fries and slaw. I am pleased to report it was fantastic! I do not know how they do it except for experience. They have been here for over fifty years, same recipes, same patient slow cooking obviously, great end result. Absolutely fabulous. Just like their burger counterparts (In N Out) they have not succumbed to the chase the customer concept with a bunch of new products. There is no chicken or fish, just great old fashioned barbecue! Great service too. Arrive at the counter, place your order, grab your tray and sit down; enjoy!

My family and I have been coming here for as long as I've been alive. The quality and consistency has never changed. It's always been the best barbecue food. This is not an exaggeration when I say this is my favorite restaurant on the planet. I moved from San Diego several years ago, but this is always the first place I go to when I visit.

All the meats were perfectly smoked. I've been in California since 1986 and this is the best barbecue place I have had since leaving North Carolina barbecue. DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Delicious food can't go wrong if your wanting a little barbecue ham beef ribs are delicious don't forget your pecan pie. great place to eat I recommend
