Had an amazing time at Ryan’s BBQ! The food was absolutely fantastic — everything was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and fresh. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. Meatball soup and sausages are awesome. What really made the visit even better was the exceptional service. The Romanian woman who served us was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect from start to finish. It’s rare to find a place that combines great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere like this. Definitely coming back soon — highly recommend Ryan’s BBQ to anyone looking for an amazing meal and experience!

This is a secret gem, the food, the staff and atmosphere were amazing. Thank you Lumi for your generous hospitality, and the matzo soup was out of this world.

I happened to come across this place after a strenuous yoga class. The food reminded me of my grandma's cooking. If you like halal or eaten europian you really should try the sausages. Amazing!!

Excellent food! We had the meatball soup, Romanian kebab (mititie) and the grilled fish (brezino) and everything was delicious. The babaganush is amazing, has the authentic charcoal eggplant flavor. Nice generous portions. We ate at the place and loved it! We will come again.

Try the natural spring water, and everything on the menu. There's also great imported goods. This may be more expensive than you typically spend on BBQ, but it's either all imported, or made specially for them locally. This is super authentic. Great BBQ, to be clear this is not Southern BBQ, this is the type of BBQ you will find in Eastern Europe. If you enjoy BBQ, plan a trip out to Romania or Bulgaria. You won't be disappointed.
