I have been going there since 2001, efore they expanded. The food is great, the staff friendly, and well worth my 3+ hour drive. I make it a point to stop by when I am near. PS if you bring a cooler to take some home, ask them to wrap the meat separately, and wrap the bread in a napkin before nuking for 20 seconds.

Needs more value for the buck

After hearing that this was the best place in Ventura county for Bar-B-Que I stopped for lunch and was served a sandwich which tasted good and baked beans which i liked also at a price that matched the area. I decided that dinner was in order, I ordered the T-tip dinner ( includes two sides ) I got a baked potato and the baked beans priced at $12.95. When I received my meal it was served in foil in a paper container with plastic tableware . The potato was overcooked and old ,Baked beans, There was two slices of T-tip that could not of been a quarter pound and a piece of bread burnt on the grill...Very sad indeed !!! I felt like I got ripped off for the money spent... In their defense, The beans were good and the meat was very good, the place is clean with lots of seats. I think they need to lower the price of dinner or be fair with the amount of food for the dollar spent.

• Pros: Bar-B-Que meat,beans
• Cons: Value,Cheap Tableware,hours

Best BBQ in Ventura County

by beercanchicken at Citysearch

If your looking for that BBQ that tastes like you cooked it in your own backyard but the only difference is the food came out perfect...Marshall's is the place. Marshall's has that down to earth "Real" BBQ taste that doesn't have that restaurant taste. I've tried most in Ventura County and none comes close to Marshalls. If your going for great BBQ than this is the place. If your going for that romantic dinner and special ambience you won't find it here. It's that little hole in the wall type place. Go to Marshall's for the food..you won't be disappointed.

• Pros: Tri Tip, Sausage, friendly staff
• Cons: Ambience, crowded at rush time, closed Sunday

Better than you might think...

Marshalls has the best meat that I have had in Ventura County. Consistantly when I have gone in, the meat has been cooked to order, and it is tender and flavorful. The only thing that holds me back from giving it an excellet rating is the sause. It is very thick and overly sweet. The flavor s lacking in the sauce. My ultimate Ventura County BBQ would be to get sauce from Just BBQ and put it over Marshall's meat. That would be a combo that could not be beat! However hading said that do try this place... You will not be disappointed.

• Pros: Meat
• Cons: Sauce
