OUR STORY

At BBQ Blues, we're more than just a restaurant - we're a celebration of Southern culinary tradition and Blues music right here in the heart of Monrovia, California. Our passion runs deep, just like the flavors of our meticulously crafted barbecue.

 

Every dish at BBQ Blues is a labor of love. We take immense pride in creating 100% in-house recipes that honor authentic Texas barbecue traditions:

​

• Handcrafted Sauces: Our signature BBQ sauces are developed from scratch, blending family recipes with local California inspiration

• Custom Rubs: Each spice blend is carefully mixed in our kitchen, ensuring a unique flavor profile for every cut of meat

• House-Made Dressings: From tangy to creamy, our dressings are made daily to complement our smoky offerings

​

Our commitment to quality means every piece of meat is slow-smoked on-site using traditional techniques. We believe in taking our time - allowing flavors to develop, meats to become tender, and creating an experience that goes beyond just a meal.

 

BBQ Blues isn't just about great barbecue - it's about creating a community gathering space where live Blues music meets exceptional Texas style BBQ cuisine. We're bringing the warmth of a backyard cookout and the soul of Blues right to Monrovia. Join us for an unforgettable dining experience where every bite tells a story and every note strikes a chord.
