Santa Maria BBQ, established in Culver City in 1989, is renowned for its authentic Santa Maria Style Barbecue, a culinary tradition that originated in the mid-19th century. Owner Jim Rodrigues, a native of Santa Maria, emphasizes quality by personally handling all customer inquiries and ensuring that each meal is prepared with care.

Specializing in Tri Tip Sirloin dry rubbed with a unique Santa Maria seasoning, the meat is grilled over a Red Oak wood fire on a hand-cranked iron grill to achieve the perfect flavor and tenderness. This dedication to traditional methods solidifies Santa Maria BBQ as a celebrated cornerstone of California's culinary heritage.
