Map of South Santa Rosa

Santa Rosa and surrounding area, locate the restaurant called The BBQ Spot

This newcomer to Santa Rosa has a no-frills locale and is situated next to a tattoo parlor, but don't let the lack of ambience dissuade you, the little restaurant is turning out some seriously good barbecue. The menu has all the heavy hitters like succulent, falling-off-the-bone pork ribs that are smoky and caramelized with a sweet glaze, and tender pulled pork that is delicious on its own or drizzled with house-made spicy sauce. With sides like homemade baked beans and coleslaw to choose from, your barbecue sampler is complete. The restaurant is simple and causal with colorful linoleum floors, flat-screen TVs on the walls, and disposable utensils. Expect a low-key, local crowd, but as the word gets out, this place may get super busy.
